"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 oflead exposure and now there is a safe way to address a verydangerous condition. This study lays the foundation for resolving aglobal health issue."
Environmental scientists and health practitioners, worldwide, havehad an ongoing concern about lead toxicity and children. Theindustry has searched far and wide for a gentle safe heavy metalchelating agent, especially for kids with high environmentalchronic exposure. This study reveals that there is finally a safe,natural and effective way to address this global issue. Increasedpublic awareness has helped reduce the prevalence of lead poisoningin the United States, but the Centers for Disease Control andPrevention estimate that about 310,000 children below the age offive have higher-than-desirable blood lead levels in our country,alone.

For example, they bind to essential minerals in thebody, or they are unsafe for children. Modified citrus pectin is a safe, effective alternative thatselectively binds to heavy metals, rather than essential minerals,and can be administered orally.
What makes it so safe and effective? Pectin is a soluble fiberextracted from the pith of citrus peels. PectaSol has been modifiedso it can act quickly and easily binds to lead. Once in thebloodstream, MCP binds
