Clinical Trial on Hospitalized Children Suffering from Lead Poisoning Reveals the Safety and Effectiveness of Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP).EcoNugenic's PectaSol[R] Dramatically Gets the Lead Out of Children in Study SANTA ROSA, Calif. -- EcoNugenics announces the results of a collaborative study with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA USDA, n.pr See United States Department of Agriculture. ), Agricultural Research Service (ARS) that reveals the effectiveness and safety of modified citrus pectin pectin, any of a group of white, amorphous, complex carbohydrates that occur in ripe fruits and certain vegetables. Fruits rich in pectin are the peach, apple, currant, and plum. Protopectin, present in unripe fruits, is converted to pectin as the fruit ripens. (MCP (1) See Microsoft certification. (2) (MultiChip Package) A chip package that contains two or more chips. It is essentially a multichip module (MCM) that uses a laminated, printed-circuit-board-like substrate (MCM-L) rather than ceramic (MCM-C). ; PectaSol) in dramatically lowering lead toxicity in children who were suffering from severe lead poisoning lead poisoning or plumbism (plŭm`bĭz'əm), intoxication of the system by organic compounds containing lead. . The study was conducted with kids between the ages of five and twelve years old at the Department of Medicine, Children's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Republic of China. It was published in the current July/August issue of Alternative Therapies and Health Medicine, a peer reviewed journal. "We are very excited about demonstrating the effectiveness of MCP," said principal investigator, Isaac Eliaz, M.D., L.Ac., M.S. "Children are most vulnerable to the long lasting health effects of lead exposure and now there is a safe way to address a very dangerous condition. This study lays the foundation for resolving a global health issue." Environmental scientists and health practitioners, worldwide, have had an ongoing concern about lead toxicity and children. The industry has searched far and wide for a gentle safe heavy metal chelating agent chelating agent a substance which combines with a metallic ion to produce an inert chelate, e.g. ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid, penicillamine. , especially for kids with high environmental chronic exposure. This study reveals that there is finally a safe, natural and effective way to address this global issue. Increased public awareness has helped reduce the prevalence of lead poisoning in the United States, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), agency of the U.S. Public Health Service since 1973, with headquarters in Atlanta; it was established in 1946 as the Communicable Disease Center. estimate that about 310,000 children below the age of five have higher-than-desirable blood lead levels in our country, alone. Up until discovering the detoxification Detoxification Definition Detoxification is one of the more widely used treatments and concepts in alternative medicine. It is based on the principle that illnesses can be caused by the accumulation of toxic substances (toxins) in the body. benefits of MCP, some of the compounds that have been used in chelation Chelation The process by which a molecule encircles and binds to a metal and removes it from tissue. Mentioned in: Heavy Metal Poisoning chelation have had negative side effects. For example, they bind to essential minerals in the body, or they are unsafe for children. Modified citrus pectin is a safe, effective alternative that selectively binds to heavy metals, rather than essential minerals, and can be administered orally. What makes it so safe and effective? Pectin is a soluble fiber extracted from the pith pith, in botany, core of the stem of most plants. Pith is composed of large, loosely packed food-storage cells. As the stem grows older the pith usually dries out, and in some it disintegrates and the stem becomes hollow. of citrus peels. PectaSol has been modified so it can act quickly and easily binds to lead. Once in the bloodstream, MCP binds toxic heavy metals, such as lead, which are then later excreted in the urine. This study is a real breakthrough in children's health and will benefit children throughout the world.
