How It Works

ProPectin™ contains pure apple pectin. Pectin has a cell wall comprised of three pectic polysaccharides, including homogalacturonan, rhamnogalacturonan-I, and rhamnogalacturonan-II, or RG-II. Scientists discovered that RG-II binds with heavy metals like Cesium-137 (Cs-137) in a process called chelation, and the residues are subsequently flushed from the body through natural elimination processes.

The apple pectin used in ProPectin is extracted from the skin and pulp of apples grown in one part of the world. These apples appear to offer a superior ability to extract Cs-137 from the body. These exceptionally high quality apples are certified pesticide-free and contain no chemical additives. Technicians use 250 kilograms of apples to extract one kilogram of pharmaceutical-grade pectin, instantly soluble enough for human consumption. Nine grams of ProPectin, taken in the first 30 days, provide the daily dose of apple pectin required to assist the body in flushing Cs-137 from the system.

The formulation process to make ProPectin is very intricate and unique, requiring large amounts of ingredients that are in limited supply. At present, the amount of ProPectin available to purchase is very restricted. Efforts, however, are underway to increase this supply as quickly as possible.

Many years of studies conducted on children contaminated by radiation after the Chernobyl catastrophe show that apple pectin helps to reduce the level of Cs-137 in the body (1).

The effects of radiation exposure, especially on children, are devastating. Chernobyl Children International (CCI) reports that children carry genetic markers whose long-term effects cannot be fully predicted and "the consequences of ongoing radioactive contamination [from Chernobyl] will not be fully seen for another 50 years."

Yablokov, Nesterenko and Nesterenko, in their book, Chernobyl: Consequences of the Catastrophe for People and the Environment, report the following increases in children's diseases and malformations in Belarus from 1986-1997 (3):

• Hormones and immune system diseases: 300-fold
• Digestive diseases: 213. 4-fold
• Respiratory diseases: 108.8-fold
• Bones and connective tissue diseases: 70.7-fold
• Skin diseases: 44.7-fold
• Blood and blood-forming diseases: 21.2-fold
• Circulatory diseases: 13.3-fold
• Mental disorders: 9.1-fold
• Congenital malformations: 6.7-fold

Most inexpensive pectin products are only 8 to 12 percent pure and often contain other ingredients besides pectin. ProPectin contains pure apple pectin plus glucose and ascorbic acid. Studies show that apple pectin does not deplete the body of necessary trace elements like iron, copper and zinc.

ProPectin is endorsed by Dr. Michael Nobel, Cofounder and Chairman of the Nobel Charitable Trust, Asia. He was involved in the development of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Dr. Nobel currently serves as a guest professor at the Solutions Science Research Laboratory at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, University of Japan. He has an honorary doctorate from Soka University in Tokyo, and holds an honorary professorship from the National Academy of Science of Azerbaijan.

Illness caused by radiation exposure has the potential to be very widespread. We encourage the scientific community–and those whose health may be at risk–to become actively involved in working with us to lessen the health risks caused by the Fukushima nuclear accident.
