Pectin Stops Cancer Cells From Growing

Pectin Halts Cancer Cells
How important is eating Fruit and Vegetables? This page covers "Pectin" as preventive to cancer prostate in cells. Pectin is a complex carbohydrate soluble fiber (polysaccharide) found in virtually all plants, and especially fruits. Pectin helps to bind cells together and provides a structural framework for maintaining the shape integrity to cell membranes. Recently, a modified form of citrus pectin derived from the pulp and peel of citrus fruits has been shown to attach to cancer cells to prevent them from spreading throughout the body, pointing the way to a potentially safe approach for preventing or reducing many cancer metastases.
Citrus pectin has been shown to inhibit cancer cell metastasis by interfering with the transport and proliferation of tumor cells to secondary sites in the body, specifically by inhibiting the ability of cancer cells to adhere to other cells. Research on modified citrus pectin shows it also enhances the activity of natural killer immune cells that's required to destroy cancer cells that migrating in the bloodstream.
While the research on modified citrus pectin is still preliminary, the results of the published research indicate that it is completely safe for use by any cancer patient. Know can you understand why adding fruit to your family's diet is so important then you would not need to add in so much concentrations of Pectin.
One teaspoon contains 2.5 grams of Pectin
Dosage and use: Two teaspoons three times daily (for a total of fifteen grams) recommended.
Early test tube studies revealed that MCP did indeed bind to galectins from numerous human cancer cell lines to inhibit their ability to adhere to other cells. Researchers found that as little as a 1.0 percent solution of MCP inhibited attachment of 1) human prostate adenocarcinoma cells, 2) human breast carcinoma cells, 3) human melanoma cells, and 4) human laryngeal epidermoid carcinoma cells to human endothelial cells.

Research, released by the University of Georgia August 6, 2007, indicates that pectin kills prostate cancer cells too. "Debra Mohnen of UGA's Complex Carbohydrate Research Center, and Vijay Kumar, chief of research and development at the Veterans' Administration Medical Center in August found that exposing prostate cancer cells to pectin reduced the number of cancerous cells by about 40%. Pectin destroys cells in a process known as apoptosis. Apoptosis is programmed cell death. In apoptosis, cells bind with an outside substance that causes the cell to kill itself. Cancer cells self-destruct once the complex structure of pectin binds to the receptors of the cell surface. Pectin does not bind with non-cancerous cells, and has no known affect on them.
Because pectin binds to several sites on the cell, it causes a number of different cellular responses, ultimately resulting in the destruction of the cancerous prostate cell. Researchers found that heat treatment in conjunction with introduction of pectin to the cancerous cells increased anti-cancer activity. I've always advocated the a "fever" or heat is your friend. But, the problem is the body is so backed up with toxin, that the average persons can't and don't know how to work with nature NATURAL healing processes. Heat is trying to kill those parasites (germs i.e.) involved.

*Make your own with pack of mashed strawberries (or, another fruit in season) to one "liquid" package of pectin, (boil down), then dissolve in a little sugar just to cut the sour taste (abt 3/4 cup?) and pour it on everything or add just tablespoon the tincture three time a day. Make it as strong or as weak as you like. This keeps well. More like a syrup and is a herbal medicine. Next... It makes one think twice about jams and jellies that can be very healthy but not store brands. And only if you add just enough sugar or honey to sweeten, no more. It makes less but better for health. In any case, never use fake sugars for any healing remedies. It defeats your purpose!
http://PuritanPride.com/ and maybe others company's too, have Apple Pectin (500 mg. per cap.) 100 tablets per bottle. No. 8964 It has gobs of fillers... It's great for crones disease because it so easy to take.
Note: New Studies show that eating sausage and bacon (processed meat) causes cancer.

**Apple product (pectin) is used for getting "lead out" of the system, "drugs", a "soluble fiber" weight issues, and aids in "stone removal."
