My Journey with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Part 2: MCP Modified Citrus Pectin...

New feature to go with my original blog...

(10/13/10) My original blog was running out of room for reporting research in a easily accessable manner. I am going to try this, a second site that you may click back and forth from. This second site is for the research information. The following is my original blog.

Please keep in mind that I am not promoting anyone or any product. There just isn't enough space to note all of the sites I have been on. As I said before, listing at least one will give a beginning place to look if you are interested.

MCP Modified Citrus Pectin
(10/20/10) Are you having a difficult time finding this little yellow box of MCP Pectin? During canning season there may be a shortage on the shelves. Call your stores and ask if they have this before wasting gas running from store to store. Ask for a Kraft product, 2 oz box, yellow box, emphasize the blue label on front with MCP in it, Premium Fruit Pectin.

Modified Citrus Pectin Benefits
Excerpts from article by: Radell Hunter, ehow Contributer, update 12/01/09
This information came from ehow.com article 5192097

If you fear getting prostate cancer, or have high levels of cholesterol, you might want to consider modified citrus pectin (MCP), which can help curb the development of both disorders. MCP, which can be found on jelly used for toast, helps with detoxification, immune function modulation & cancer cell proliferation inhibition.

MCP Benefit: Halting Cancer Cell Proliferation

MCP is believed to provide many benefits, but the most notable thus far has been its ability to slow the progression--or stop intrusion--of cancerous cell proliferation into other organs besides the initial cancer site. According to the American Cancer Society, both animal studies and uncontrolled studies involving humans seem to support these findings, at least in regards to prostate and skin cancers.

Other MCP Benefits
The reduction of serum cholesterol levels and the strengthening of T-cells (which kill cancer and also fight germs) are two more MCP benefits. But that's not all, MCP is also known for aiding the immune system as well as helping with the detoxification of the body. It has also been credited for preventing cancer metastases in the breast and lungs too.

Location of information...

This blog is not 100% anything (proof of cure, healing), only research that I have completed for myself. Every attempt has been made to note the publication, author, web site that the information came from. I am sharing all of this so that someone (or more) may have their curiosity triggered and begin to look into how they can help themselves be a bit healthier.

I know that for many, myself included, that the "cure" for cancer can't possibly be as simple as some articles want us to believe. After reading as much as I already have, again I repeat my thoughts. I don't believe there is "one" remedy, but I do believe that if I implement numerous changes to my lifestyle it will make my entire body healthier. In turn, a healthier body, system, mental and emotional stability will give me a chance to fight this "beast" as some call it. Some of the changes are really simple to make, switching out the old with the new when grocery shopping, reading labels, portion control, diverting my attention when craving (harmful) goodies, having healthy snacks readily available, etc. No, I am not perfect. I am a work in progress. When I falter, then I pick myself up and start all over again. It's easier than when I tried dieting for vanity reasons, because this time it is for my life.

Any miscellaneous post over seven (7) days old will be listed in the archives listed below, right side of screen.

What's up with the 2nd blog?

As you know, I have been doing research on cancer, and what I can do to help myself as well as the doctors, medicine, treatments, surgery, etc.

Even with listing minimal information on each subject I find interesting, space still runs out in a limited forum. I don't have the money to begin a web page, so thought I would link two blogs together.

First blog (prayerfaithandhope.blogspot.com) is going to be more personal information. I may (or may not) first post research on this blog, then transfer it after a couple of days.
or
Second blog (this one ~ marieskidneycancerpart2.blogspot.com ) will have research posted here after relocation from first blog or initially.

There is an address listed at the first of the blog for the other site. You can click back and forth. Well, I am hoping that it works that way. I am not a computer tech... but, I try. Marie
