We have added a new supplement into my protocol and I wanted to get the word out straight away. It is called Modified Citrus Pectin and as the name suggests it is naturally found in citrus fruit skin (so eat lots of citrus fruit skins and keep them in your juices or smoothies etc, the peel REALLY is the best bits . . . . Grandma was right!!! Haha).
I first heard it mentioned on the Chris Beat Cancer Podcast by Dr Eliaz which you can listen to on Apple Podcasts or Spotify below:
Dr Eliaz has also written this amazing article too over on his website:
‘This MCP works through numerous distinct mechanisms. The most important of these is its unique ability to halt the destructive actions of a “rogue protein” called Galectin-3 (Gal-3).
Gal-3 is a single protein produced by the body, with roles in cell development, immunity, repair, and other areas.
It’s also one of the fastest growing fields in medical research today.
Gal-3 can become elevated due to injury, illness, or normal ageing. Thousands of published studies now show that when Gal-3 gets out of control, it becomes a key driver of degenerative conditions including:
- cancer growth and metastasis
With powerful anti-cancer properties, this researched MCP is shown in over 15 published studies, including three clinical trials, to effectively halt numerous pro-cancer processes. In addition, this MCP is shown to significantly increase chemotherapy effectiveness, and reduce drug-resistant potential. In one study, it was shown to increase efficacy and thus allowing for lower dosages of the toxic chemotherapy drug, doxorubicin, in the treatment of prostate cancer. Another study showed strong synergistic actions with specific chemotherapy regimens.’
