PRNewswire - 08-16-11

SANTA ROSA, Calif., Aug. 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Groundbreaking research

demonstrates the ability of a specific form of Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP)

to greatly enhance immune function. The study found that MCP activated

B-cells in a dose-dependent manner, and induced a highly significant

dose-dependent activation of T-cytotoxic cells and Natural Killer (NK) cells.

The

NK-cell's cancer killing activity was demonstrated against live leukemia

cancer cells. The study is published in the journal BMC Complementary and

Alternative Medicine. The research focuses on MCP's immunostimulatory

properties in human blood samples, resulting in modulation of different arms of

the

immune system. Immune researchers at the Dharma Biomedical LLC (Miami, FL)

are excited. " The dramatic ability of MCP to activate different

components of both the innate (NK-cells) and adaptive (T-cytotoxic) arms of the

immune system, demonstrates that MCP can be used in a very strategic manner to

support immune function, which may prove useful for a variety of immune

compromised health situations, " says lead researcher Dr. Steve Melnick.MCP

induced an increase in B-cells, T-cytotoxic cells, and NK-cells in a dose

dependant manner, meaning the higher the dosage, the greater the effect.

Researchers demonstrated that MCP induced a dramatic ten-fold increase in

NK-cell activation, and furthermore a significant 53.6% increase in the

NK-cells' functional ability to identify and destroy leukemia cancer cells.

Mechanism of Action (How MCP Works)

Melnick further explains, " The Modified Citrus Pectin used in this study

consists of various polysaccharides that come in contact with different

receptors or proteins on the membranes of immune cells. The immune cells

become activated as a consequence of this very specific interaction. " Melnick

continues, " What I found impressive was the selectivity, and in those cases

the magnitude of the effect. For example, polysaccharides derived from

mushroom species are known for their immunomodulatory effect. However, in my

experience, those effects are considerably lower than observed in the case

of T cytotoxic and NK cell activation with this Modified Citrus Pectin. "

USDA scientists that co-authored the study analyzed the specific structure of

this MCP.

Critical Information for Optimal Immune Support

There are two important aspects to the end results of this study when it

comes to NK cells. The first one is how many of our NK cells, a specialized

subset of T-lymphocytes that destroy infected and cancerous cells are

activated by MCP. In other words, how many are awakened from their " sleep " and

ready to fight harmful invaders and cancer. MCP exerted a dramatic 10 fold

increase in their activation, greater than the positive control

Interleukin-2 (IL-2). Additionally, once the NK cells were activated, their

actual

functional activity level, and specifically against cancer, was demonstrated

to be statistically significant. Dr. Isaac Eliaz, study author and MCP

expert says, " I have seen first-hand the transformative power of MCP in

helping to fight disease and restore health. While I was recommending MCP in my

clinical practice for the treatment of cancer and heavy metal toxicity, I

had always known that the benefits reached far beyond what had been

scientifically proven at the time. After all, many of my patients who came to

me

for solutions to their chronic diseases became the vibrant examples of how

MCP, used as part of an integrative and holistic health program, had not just

added years to peoples' lives, but quality as well. Thanks to this recent

landmark immune study, we now know that the powerful immune supporting

actions offered by Modified Citrus Pectin represent a significant factor of

this vibrant health equation. "

Several animal studies found that MCP helped reduce the spread of

prostate, breast, and skin cancer. Animals with these types of cancer that were

fed MCP had a much lower risk of the tumor spreading to the lungs. For

example, one study examined the effects of MCP on lung metastases from melanoma

cells. Researchers injected mice with melanoma cells. In the mice that were

also given MCP, significantly fewer tumors spread to the lungs than in the

mice that did not receive the drug. When lung tumors did develop in the

mice treated with MCP, the tumors tended to be smaller than those that formed

in untreated animals.

These studies appear to show that MCP makes it difficult for cancer cells

that break off from the main tumor to join together and grow in other

organs. However, in most animal studies, MCP had no effect on the main tumor,

suggesting that it may only be useful for preventing or slowing the growth of

metastatic tumors in very early stages of development.

Recent laboratory studies of human and animal cells have provided

information on how MCP might slow the spread of cancer. MCP appears to attach

to

galectin-3, a common chemical in many cells. Galectin-3 is present in

abnormally high levels in many cancers and plays an important role in the

growth,

survival, and spread of cancer cells.

Although animal and cell studies are quite encouraging, very little

information is available about whether MCP is effective in humans. In one

published clinical trial, 10 men with prostate cancer were treated with MCP

after

standard treatment failed. In 7 of these men, blood tests found

prostate-specific antigen (PSA, a marker of prostate cancer growth). Their PSA

doubling time (a measure of how fast PSA goes up) improved in comparison with

measurements done before taking MCP, indicating that MCP may have a slowing

effect on the cancer's growth. This study had no control group (in this case,

a group of men who did not take MCP), which limits the strength of its

conclusions on MCP's effectiveness. It also did not measure survival or other

important endpoints. However, taken with the information gained from

animal studies, it suggests that MCP may have a role in reducing the growth and

spread of cancer. Randomized controlled trials looking at larger groups of

people must be done before any firmer conclusions can be reached.

UPCOMING EVENTS FOR BREAST CANCER OPTIONS

BREAST CANCER SUPPORT, DISCUSSION & NETWORKING

GROUP FOR YOUNG SURVIVORS

A support, discussion and networking group for young women diagnosed with

breast cancer

will be held at the Kingston office of Breast Cancer Options, 101 Hurley

Ave starting in September.

Young women CAN and DO get breast cancer. While breast cancer in young

women only accounts for a small percentage of all breast cancer cases, a young

woman diagnosed with breast cancer has psychosocial and medical issues

that are different than those of older, post-menopausal women.

There are more than 250,000 women living in the U.S. who were diagnosed

with breast cancer at age

40 or under, and approximately 10,000 young women will be diagnosed in

the next year.

The group will meet monthly at dinnertime, either on a Tuesday or

Thursday.

If you are interested in attending this group please call:

845-339-4673 or email: hope@...

Woodstock Little League Gives Back Fundraiser

Join WLL in a 1 mile walk at the historical Byrdcliffe Artist Colony in

Woodstock, NY. Every Woodstock Little League kid will collect pledges to

walk one mile. 100% of our donations raised will be donated back to our local

community. Our chosen local benefactor this year is Breast Cancer

Options serving the Hudson Valley. Breast Cancer Options is an independent,

grassroots, non-profit organization offering free services to patients in our

area. In addition, they run Camp Lightheart for kids who have a mother

with breast cancer. They also work with local youth to educate them about

cancer causing agents in their lives and help reduce cancer rates. Why keep

treating the same old disease?

REGISTER NOW! IT'S NOT JUST FOR KIDS! IT'S NOT JUST WOODSTOCK. IT'S FOR

EVERYONE

AND FOR THE ENTIRE HUDSON VALLEY! YOU CAN HELP!!!

1. Come walk with us and make a small donation. (collect

pledges from

your neighbors or co-workers.

2. Cant make the date...send a pledge in

for one of our existing kids walking.
