Galectin 3 is a carbohydrate-binding protein that Dr. Eliaz has been researching for almost 30 years. Dr. Eliaz calls it the “Survival Paradox protein,” due to its role in the body’s survival response. When we go into survival mode, Galectin 3 produces a coating within the microbiome that can hide bacteria and other essential organisms inside us, as well as heavy metals, toxins, viruses, and more.
When the stress from the survival response starts, it takes a while to turn off, and unless we quiet down that alarm, our bodies can’t detoxify what’s inside. This can lead to inflammation, immune system dysregulation, and other dysfunctions.
Many things can spike Galectin 3 production including emotional stress, physical trauma, a minor injury, or even emotional and psychological scars can increase Galectin 3, cause further damage, and lengthen the healing process. But once the system quiets down, less Galectin 3 is released. As the levels go down, the systemic response goes down, and the body can start to break down those barriers and start the detoxification process.
As we age, experience trauma, and repair our bodies, Galectin 3 levels can change. Younger individuals tend to have less Galectin 3 than people in their 70s and 80s. However, everyone’s levels are different.
Checking Galectin 3 levels is not only a prognostic indicator for the future. It can also help doctors follow a patient’s disease and how they are responding to treatment. Generally speaking, people with chronic illness can expect higher Galectin 3 levels. However, that is not always the case, as certain disease leads to lower levels even when someone is ill, such as lyme disease..
It’s not something that you can get through food, and it can work in conjunction with other treatments, such as protein or radiation therapy. Patients with higher Galectin 3 have a harder time responding to treatment, so Dr. Eliaz sometimes uses PectaSol to help lower Galectin 3 levels in order to help the body heal itself.
