Toxic Overload
ProPectin was created to reduce the danger of exposure to Cesium-137 from the Fukushima and Chernobyl nuclear disasters. Since the product launch, however, we have seen it at work, improving many physical conditions including diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and more. ProPectin's remarkable ability to bind with cesium-137 and carry it out of the body also applies to many other toxins including deadly heavy metals like mercury, lead, cadmium and a lot of toxic, man-made chemicals.

A WORLD OF DEADLY TOXINS A Thousand Untested, Potentially Toxic Chemicals Introduced Every Year There are roughly a thousand new chemicals developed each year. The toxicity of most of them will never be studied. They're considered safe until proven harmful. But the known danger from the most toxic ones is growing and compounding. "Outdoor air pollution is associated with over one million deaths and countless illnesses each year across the globe." National Resource Defense Council, 2014. |

The Danger Grows Some chemicals like radionuclides and heavy metals last for many decades in the environment and bio-accumulate in plants and wildlife. That's how the cesium-137 as well as the mercury in tuna becomes more dangerous than in sardines because the larger tuna are at the top of the food chain and accumulate more radioactive chemicals and mercury in their flesh over time. Humans are even higher on the food chain as they consume plants and animals that have accumulated these deadly chemicals for decades. The danger grows steadily as chemicals spread and are cycled again and again far and wide through the air, water, and soil. Whenever we take a breath, swallow anything, or touch anything we risk taking in a toxic substance. "Free radicals easily damage DNA, and ionizing radiation may also directly damage DNA by ionizing or breaking DNA molecules."

What Is Our Risk? Our individual risk, of course, depends on the amount of toxin we are exposed to, how long we are exposed, how we receive it, and how often. Health effects also depend on the toxicity of the chemical. The most toxic chemicals, like cesium-137 are extremely dangerous in remarkably small amounts. A single molecule floating in a cloud across the ocean from Fukushima can take any one of us out by firing at close range at one of our most critical cells. Other less deadly chemicals are only toxic in large volumes, high frequency, or over extended exposure. Some people have more severe reactions to chemicals than others. But this can be misleading because many chemicals are slow acting, and the cancer caused by a single molecule of cesium-137 may not manifest for 20 or more years. |

Those at Greatest Risk |
Some people are at greater risk from exposure to all toxins... small children whose bodies are developing, adolescents who are growing quickly and preparing for reproduction, the frail and elderly, and especially a fetus in a pregnant woman. |

We are already seeing an increase in thyroid cancer in Japan and in genetic abnormalities in animals. Damage can be extremely severe: deformities, mental conditions, inability to reproduce, a full range of allergies, increased susceptibility to degenerative diseases of all kinds, and many other common and obscure ailments and causes of death. Our bodies can tolerate certain amounts of toxic chemicals. We excrete some chemicals quickly through perspiration, exhaling air, and elimination through urine and feces. Our liver and kidneys continually work to detoxify and filter out toxins. But the toxic overload grows more and more each day. Our body can't remove all the chemicals, especially the most dangerous ones like the radioactive ones, the heavy metals, and most dangerous poisons. "Propectin... it's not only about radiation"
ProPectin has the amazing ability to not only bind with deadly cesium-137 and carry it out of the body, but also with other heavy metals and toxins. So while you are protecting yourself from the deadly effects of cancer-causing radionuclides, you are also carrying away the huge toxic overload you have accumulated over time from living day to day in a toxic world.

"... any exposure to ionizing radiation, even at doses too low to produce any symptoms of radiation sickness, can induce cancer due to cellular and genetic damage" ("Acute Radiation Syndrome" Wikipedia Last updated 14 February 2014). Medical procedures (CT scans and radiation treatments) have become our greatest risk of man-made radiation. Other sources include smoking, building materials, fallout from Chernobyl and Fukushima, atmospheric nuclear testing, and many occupational hazards. The severity of the cancer or birth defect caused by radiation is just as great in someone who has a huge amount of radiation exposure as it is in someone who has minimal exposure. Any radionuclide, however small just has to fire at the right spot to create that cellular or genetic damage that creates a mutation. Our only protection is in minimizing the radiation exposure or pulling it out of our system once we are exposed with a product like ProPectin. Through all the discussion of the many types of radiation, let us not forget what brought this amazing product to our awareness-the disaster at Fukushima and the toxin of all toxins-cesium-137. To quote Helen Caldecott, "fallout from nuclear power plant accidents will have medical ramifications that will never cease because the food will continue to concentrate the radioactive elements for hundreds to thousands of years inducing epidemics of cancer, leukemia, congenital abnormalities and genetic disease, because damaged genes will be passed over many generations" (Helen Caldicott, MD. "The Medical Implications of Fukushima," www.helencaldicott.com, July 10, 2013). |
Of all the toxins we have discussed, ionizing radiation is the toxicity that concerns us most and the one where ProPectin has specific, scientific proof. But toxicity, especially from heavy metals is far more widespread than most people realize. And ProPectin is highly effective at chelating toxins and carrying them out of the body. When we look at ionizing radiation, we realize that there are two types: 1. Naturally occurring radiation... like what comes from radon gas, cosmic radiation from space, etc. 2. Man-made radiation that comes from medical procedures like CT scans, nuclear testing, and occupational exposure from nuclear power plants and other places. In industrialized nations the health risks from man-made radiation are greater. The risks from natural radiation are equivalent or lower in the rest of the world with certain isolated exceptions. Radon, that comes from naturally-occurring uranium in bedrock, is a radioactive gas that gets trapped in unventilated homes, especially in basements. It has a 4 day half life, but particles lodge in the lungs causing continuous, ongoing exposure, which can greatly elevate cancer risk. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. Radon is the most common natural radiation source followed by radiation from the soil, cosmic radiation from outer space (especially dangerous for flight crews), and general radiation from food and the air. |
