Page 283 Is Modified Citrus Pectin an Effective Mobilizer of Heavy Metals in Humans? Three small studies supporting the use of modified citrus pectin (MCP) for mobilization of heavy metals have recently been conducted by several closely linked authors. The most recent study, published in the July/August 2008 issue of Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine, claims dramatic results in lead mobilization.1 Given the far-reaching adverse effects of lead in humans, there is a great patient demand for safe, all-natural agents for effectively mobilizing lead. It is therefore incumbent on practitioners to closely scrutinize the recent study and the preceding two studies it references to assess the validity of the conclusion reached in all three studies; i.e., that modified citrus pectin is an effective mobilizer of heavy metals in humans.
