(NaturalNews) Fruit
pectin is effective for removing contaminants from the body such as
heavy metals and unwanted drug residue. When these substances deposit
in the body's cells, they contribute to a variety of serious diseases.
Detoxifying the body from heavy metals and contaminants optimizes
health and allows the body to repair itself. Using fruit pectin for
home detox programs can be successful as long as people follow some
common sense precautions regarding dosage.
When preparing to use pectin there are a few guidelines and tips to make it easier.
Recognizing Candidates for Heavy Metals and Drug Detoxification
Heavy metals exist throughout
the environment contributing to serious
health
problems. Mercury is used in dental fillings and vaccines and
contaminates waterways. Cadmium, found in cigarette smoke and exhaust
fumes, permeates the air. Lead was used in paints, food,
water pipes, pesticides, cosmetics and children's toys.
Some prescription
medications
are deposited in the body's tissues, and once in the system they are
difficult to eliminate. Medications such as chemotherapy are known to be
problematic creating an
environment that not only destroys cancer cells, but also weakens the overall immune system.
Anyone over-exposed to these substances will benefit from using pectin to remove
heavy metals and unwanted drug residues from the
body.
What is Fruit Pectin and Where is it Found?
Pectin is a substance found naturally in many
fruits
whose properties make it excellent for use for making jellies. Pectin
also has the ability to pull heavy metals and other contaminants from
the blood stream through a process called
chelation. These contaminants are excreted through normal urination.
Pectin is found in the rinds of many fruits and vegetables. Excellent sources of pectin are bananas,
apples, cabbage, okra, beets, grapes, carrots and all citrus
fruit in the white part called the pith.
Gently Detox from Contaminants and Heavy Metals
Eat several servings of high-pectin fruit daily for a
natural, gentle detox. One of the best sources of
pectin is green apples. Organic apple
juice and unsweetened applesauce are also good sources of natural fruit pectin.
Using Pectin to Chelate Heavy Metals and for Deep Drug Detox
For a deeper and more controlled
detox, find pectin at the grocery
store in the canning section. Pectin made especially for chelating heavy metals and drugs is available at health
food stores in powdered form. Check labels to make sure the pectin is free of MSG.
To
use pectin, mix 2-4 teaspoons of dry pectin to an 8 oz. glass of grape
juice once a day. Start with a lower dose of pectin until the body
gets used to it and increase the amount slowly.
Continue taking pectin for a period from 2 weeks to 6 months to complete a
drug detox or when chelating heavy metals. Indicators for completing the detox period are a reduction in
symptoms. Although there is no such thing as a symptom-free
detoxification during chelation
therapy, if pectin is taken in small quantities over a period of time, overall health will return as energy increases and
disease symptoms disappear.
Supervision for Heavy Metals Chelation and Drug Detox
People addicted to narcotics of any form should use pectin only under supervision during drug detox.
Pectin
can cause problems in people who are sensitive. Some people may
experience a flare up of their symptoms during the detox period
including dizziness, nausea, joint or muscle
pain,
weakness and fatigue. Reducing the amount of the dose is usually
enough to lessen symptoms making the detox experience more comfortable.
Seek medical supervision to help with dosing.
