Apple pectin's ability to decrease Cs-137 levels in the body
has been documented in clinical studies performed on thousands of children
exposed to radiation after Chernobyl. Vassily B. Nesterenko and Alexey V.
Nesterenko, of the Institute of Radiation Safety (BELRAD) in Minsk, Belarus,
report that:
"From 1996 to 2007 a total of more than 160,000
Belarusian children received pectin food additives during 18 to 25 days of
treatment (5 g. twice a day). As a result, levels of CS-137 in children's
organs decreased after each course of pectin additives by an average of 30 to
40 percent."
Other studies show even more impressive results:
"In June-July 2001 BELRAD...conducted a
placebo-controlled double-blind study of 615 children with internal
contamination who were treated with [apple pectin] (5g twice a day) for a
3-week period. In children taking the [apple pectin] (together with clean food)
Cs-137 levels were lowered much more effectively than in the control group, who
had clean food combined with a placebo." An adjacent chart shows a
decrease of 63.6% compared with the placebo decrease of only 13.9% after only
21 days–results 4.5 times more effective.
Shortly after the nuclear disaster at Fukushima, Professor
Dimitre Kirtchev discovered a particular pectin that is pharmaceutical-grade,
highly soluble and ideal for treating people exposed to radiation. This pectin,
now the main ingredient in ProPectin, comes from apples grown in one part of
the world where conditions produce pectin so potent it is actually too strong
for use in making jams and jellies.
A six-step refinement process turns this powerful, raw apple
pectin into a concentrated powder that can easily and quickly be mixed in a
glass of water. When consumed, ProPectin is immediately absorbed, binds with
Cs-137, and helps to flush it from the body. ProPectin does not remove
important trace elements needed in the body and has no side effects or
contraindications.
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.
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.

To flush Cs-137 from the body, individuals need to consume 8 to 12 grams of apple pectin a day. Unfortunately, most pectin products take too long to dissolve (at least 12 hours for 0.5 grams), come as gel tablets which do not dissolve in the body effectively, and can contain negligible amounts of pectin. Taken three times a day, ProPectin provides nine grams of pure, pharmaceutical-grade apple pectin–one of the highest quality, soluble apple pectin products on the market.
ProPectin Offers Other Health Benefits
ProPectin™ was initially developed and marketed to combat
the effects of radiation contamination - a need that arose dramatically when
Japan was devastated by an earthquake and tsunami in March 2011. This
catastrophic event severely damaged the nuclear reactors at the Fukushima
Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in the northeastern part of Japan. Three of the
plant's six reactors experienced a full nuclear meltdown, which released
deadly, cancer-causing radioactive isotopes like Plutonium, Strontium and
Cesium-137 into the environment. The International Nuclear Event Scale
classifies the accident at Fukushima as a Level 7 - its highest classification
for the danger created by such a meltdown.
The response to ProPectin's ability to flush deadly toxins
from the body has been overwhelming, especially among the people in heavily
populated metropolitan cities who face the most serious risks to their health
from exposure to daily contaminants. Our goal is to help people reclaim their
health and do everything possible to avoid the long-term health risks that can
result from such exposure.
Continued research of apple pectin shows that ProPectin can
offer significant health benefits to people in many other ways. Studies reveal
that apple pectin offers anticancer properties, can help maintain healthy
cholesterol levels and lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, can improve
issues associated with incontinence and inflammation, can help lower blood
glucose and insulin levels, assists with healthy weight management, and is a
useful agent for delivery of cancer drugs.
Many scientists and nutritionists feel apple pectin has the
ability to support many other health issues. According to Susan Sungsoo Cho in
her book, Fiber Ingredients, apple pectin may slow the rate at which your body
absorbs sugars. Cho says apple pectin works by slowing your digestion of sugars
and fats, which leads to lower blood glucose levels and a reduced insulin
demand. Cho also believes apple pectin may help protect against colon cancer,
since it speeds up excretion, which helps the body to eliminate cancer-causing
substances more quickly (3).
A. Stewart Truswell, human nutrition expert at the
University of Sydney, Australia, and author of a commentary published in the
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, says apple pectin works better than oat
bran, psyllium or guar gum in lowering cholesterol. Researcher M. Gonzalez,
lead author of a study published in the Journal of Physiology and Biochemistry,
found that apple pectin works best for blood cholesterol.
ProPectin contains 100 percent pharmaceutical-grade apple
pectin, sourced from some of the highest quality apples in the world. It takes
250 kilos of apples to make one kilo of ProPectin. A six-step patented process
turns this powerful apple pectin into a concentrated powder that can easily and
quickly be mixed in a glass of water, making it the only 100% soluble, high
grade apple pectin.
