How the treatment post-nuclear disaster gave birth to ProPectin.
A natural remedy was desperately needed to counteract the radiation affecting 160,000 children after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster of April 26, 1986. Based on evidence of effectiveness emerged on child survivors of Chernobyl, ProPectin was developed as a natural, effective treatment to chelate heavy metals for the body to remove.
Government Priority
Emergency blood detoxification was a main priority of the Russian government in 1986, after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.
Russia did not make the accident public
Radiation entered Sweden, 1,100km away, within 36 hours. The radiatioactive particles had travelled rapidly over winds and air currents. 400x more radioactive material was released from Chernobyl than by the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.
Worst Accident in History
Most of Europe was contaminated with fallout. In 2015, the Chernobyl Exclusion zone was found to still be dangerously radioactive, exceeding the expected timeline for radiation to have fallen to safe levels.
Looking to science for answers
In the 1960s, studies revealed that pectins eliminated the radionuclides Strontium, Cesium and Cobalt and decreased the absorption of lead. This finding was the basis for treating people exposed to radiation following the 1986 disaster at Chernobyl.
Effects
Two of the most harmful radionuclides spread from Chernobyl were caesium-134 and caesium-137.
Caesium tends to accumulate in vital organs. Radiation is most damaging to cells that are actively dividing, including in the hair follicles, skin, bone marrow and the gastrointestinal tract, which is why vomiting and hair loss are common symptoms of acute radiation sickness.
Government strategy.
From 1996 to 2007 a total of more than 160,000 Belarusian children received pectin food additives during 18 to 25 days of treatment (5g twice a day).
As a result, levels of CS-137 in children’s organs decreased after each course of pectin additives by an average of 30 to 40 percent.”
Apple pectin’s ability to decrease Cs-137 levels in the body has been documented in clinical studies performed on thousands of children exposed to radiation after Chernobyl.
Shortly after the nuclear disaster at Fukushima, Professor Dimitre Kirtchev discovered a particular apple pectin that is pharmaceutical-grade, highly soluble and ideal for treating people exposed to radiation.
This apple pectin, now the main ingredient in ProPectin, comes from apples grown in one part of the world where conditions produce pectin so potent it is actually too strong for use in making jams and jellies.
