He would mix it with water and drink the whole thing at once. He said that “in about 2 hours, all the drugs in his blood were gone.” He told me this included everything from marijuana to heroin to cocaine."

I have been in recovery services for nearly 10 years and find it utterly ridiculous that you would even remotely think this could be true. If it were, then no one on probation would ever test "dirty" - not ever. This "pectin removes all drugs from the blood in 2 hours" claim is as insane as the VERY TYPICAL heroin addict belief that "if i just get some wheatgrass juice in me everything will be ok" kind of thinking.

Please do get some scientifically based research which proves this claim or else stop the propagation of myth and lie.

Thank you.
