Apple Pectin also came up as a help in copper, aluminum, cadmium, and

mercury...in the book " Prescriptions for Natural Healing " . Any commentary

would be appreciated.

I read apple pectin and malic acid (I think) for aluminum...what doses

though?? Anyone used these??-

Apple pectin seemed to work really well to help my body eliminate metals. I

used it for about a year and a half and then only needed to do a few rounds

of rx chelators.

Gaylen: Thanks for your post. I've looked and looked in the archives

for dosage for children. All of the people who say they used it

successfully never say how much they used, and whether they took it

several times a day or just once, etc. How much did you use and how

often? I am interested in trying this for my son who has high

aluminum, and wonder if you had any experiences that you would caution

me about?

It seems that the official position of the website is that it isn't a

chelator, but yet there are quite a few posts talking about it

positively, and I haven't seen anything about anything negative,

except the feeling of Andy and some DAN! doctors that it doesn't work

as a chelator of anything? Any comments from Andy, etc on why it isn't

listed as aluminum detoxer, since nothing else is listed? Is there any

literature about negative effects?

I don't know about any down sides or harmful effects at all unless you're

sensative to apples which is why we didn't use it for my son. I just used

the dosage recommended on the bottle -- it was so long ago I can't remember

what that was, sorry. For a child, a doc once told me a good rule of thumb

is to assume the dosages on bottles are for a 150 lb person so if you take

the child's weight and figure what percentage it is of 150, then use that

percentage of dosing, you'll have a safe dosage usually.

For aluminum, malic acid is really good though one person posted a caution

about it possibly allowing more aluminum in the blood to travel to cells. We

found it to be very helpful at removing aluminum from the body and continued

to take it for quite awhile for it's cleansing properties even after no more

aluminum was showing in tests. Never saw an increase in aluminum, only a

decrease in improvement in symptoms.

Rose,

I used apple pectin for aluminum a number of years ago (adult, mercury poisoning

from dental fillings). I hadn't had a hair analysis done at that time but

guessed I had a body burden of aluminum due to my 6-pack of Mt. Dew (from cans

only!) habit which I had quit by then. At this point in time, I don't remember

dosage or frequency. I probably took however much and often it said on the

label. I probably have it written down somewhere, will post again if I run

across it. I took a variety of other supplements at that time including NAC,

Vit C, etc.

Hi Gaylen,

Not meaning this as a pointed question, I'm wondering what clues

told you that it worked well. ALL the methods seem pretty much

" not measurable " to me --- there are signs something is happening,

but it seems rather unquantifyable and vague.

I'm also wondering how much apple pectin is used and how it

equates to apples. Like would the juice of 4 or 5 apples a

day be enough to have some effect?

Hair analysis as well as a lessening in abnormal hormonal and liver enzyme

blood tests. Plus a huge change in symptoms -- reduction in spells of

narcolepsy-type of tiredness, less difficulty concentrating and

forgetfulness, less mood swings, improvement in vision, elimination of

bladder irritability among other things. It is important to note that about

six months into taking the apple pectin, I moved off of the golf course where

we had been poisoned which I'm sure it the best thing we've ever done for our

health. I did notice feeling much better about a month into the apple pectin

though.

If I'm not mistaken, the pectin is the gluey stuff that keeps the roughage of

the apple together so you wouldn't get much in the juice. The pills are

highly concentrated pectin but I have no idea how many apples are used per

pill. The juice would give you malic acid which is supposed to be good for

aluminum and for cleansing the gall bladder and liver though. I used to do

an apple juice fast every four months or so and felt great afterwards .

I hope Andy will correct me if I am wrong: I believe Andy thinks

it is not a MERCURY chelator. People discuss using pectic

and malic acid for getting rid of aluminum, and I think

Andy is uncertain/undecided as to whether this works or not.

I have no experience with it.
