Vitamin B-17, also know as Laetrile and Amygdalin is found in most
fruit seeds... namely apricot seeds. The apricot seed was claimed
as the cure for all cancers over 35 years ago.
It was
even more strongly claimed that when one eats about 7 apricot
seeds per day they can never develop cancer, just as one can never
get scurvy if they have an orange every day, or pellagra if they
have some B vitamins every day.
Vitamin B17 is found in seeds such as the apple, peach, cherry,
grapes, and apricot. It is found in some beans and many grasses
such as wheat grass. The hard wooden pit in the middle of the
apricot or peach for example, is not supposed to be thrown away.
In fact, the wooden shell is actually a strong armor protecting
one of the most important foods known to man, the seed. It is one
of the main courses of food in cultures such as the Navajo
Indians, the Hunzakuts, the Abkhazians and many more. Cultures
such as these have never had a reported case of cancer when eating
their traditional foods!
We
don't need to make the seed a main course in our diets, but we do
need the equivalent of about seven apricots seeds per day. This
will nearly guarantee a cancer free life. Other foods that contain
vitamin B-17 are: bitter almonds, millet, lima beans and more.
(The bitter almond tree has also been banned from the U.S. years
ago.)
Apricot seeds have the highest content of B-17 on earth. They are
chewable and bitter and a necessity in our diet. Although apricot
seeds are bitter, they must be integrated into our diets. They may
be added to food or chopped up and swallowed with a teaspoon of
honey or applesauce. The seeds may be used in combination with the
Laetrile Cancer Therapy. As a preventative, Dr. Krebs (the
scientist who discovered B-17) asserts that 7 or more apricot
seeds per day will make it impossible to develop cancer in one's
life time. One or two of the B-17 tablets (100 mg) is an
acceptable supplemental dosage per day. Stores do not sell "raw"
apricot seeds because of the raids the FDA made on those stores
with vitamin B17 and the apricot seeds years ago.
In
nearly all cases when the B-17 is taken in high doses the tumors
shrink. Now one is faced with the confusion of staying on the
chemotherapy or stopping the chemo, due to the unclearness of what
shrunk the cancer. Those that continue on with the chemotherapy
have a relatively poor outcome. We understand that once an
individual is caught in the vacuum cycle of chemotherapy,
radiation and operations, it is very difficult to pull away from
this higher authority (principalities, prestigious doctors and
hospitals) and say "NO" to more chemotherapy.
Independent research has also proved that a Himalayan tribe known
as the 'Hunza' never contract cancer of any kind so long as they
stick to their native diet which is exceptionally high in both
apricots and millet. However, once exposed to western diets they
become as vulnerable as the rest of us.
The
implications of these findings are staggering of course. If we
managed to control Scurvy (vitamin C deficiency) centuries ago,
how is it we cannot do the same for cancer today? The fact of the
matter is that we could if our respective governments would allow
it. Unfortunately most governments have buckled under the pressure
exerted by the pharmaceutical multinationals, the American Food &
Drug Administration, and the American Medical Association. All
three have mounted highly successful 'scare' campaigns based on
the fact that vitamin B17 contains quantities of 'deadly' cyanide;
conveniently forgetting that vitamin B12 also contains significant
quantities of cyanide, and has long been available in health food
shops worldwide.
Dr.
Kreb's B17 Laetrile was derived from apricot seeds and then
synthesized into crystalline form using his own unique process.
Suddenly, the American FDA bombarded the media with a story about
an unfortunate couple who had poisoned themselves by eating raw
apricot seeds in San Francisco. The story made headline news
across the U.S.A. although several suspicious journalists never
managed to establish the identity of the unfortunate couple,
despite many determined attempts. But the multinational
pharmaceutical/FDA boot had been put in with a vengeance. From
that point onwards eating apricot seeds or B17 Laetrile became
synonymous with committing suicide.
Back in the fifties, Dr. Ernst Krebs proved beyond doubt that B17
was completely harmless to humans in the most convincing way
possible. After testing the vitamin on animals, he filled a large
hypodermic with a mega-dose which he then injected into his own
arm! Drastic perhaps, but the adventurous Dr. Krebs is still alive
and well today.
The
vitamin is harmless to healthy tissue for a very simple reason:
Each molecule of B17 contains one unit of cyanide, one unit of
benzaldehyde and two of glucose (sugar) tightly locked together.
In order for the cyanide to become dangerous it is first necessary
to 'unlock' the molecule to release it, a trick that can only be
performed by an enzyme called beta-glucosidase. This enzyme is
present all over the body in minute quantities, but in huge
quantities (up to 100 times as high) at cancerous tumor sites.
Thus the cyanide is released only at the cancer site with drastic
results, which become utterly devastating to the cancer cells
because the benzaldehyde unit also unlocks at the same time.
Benzaldehyde is a deadly poison in its own right, which then acts
synergistically with the cyanide to produce a poison 100 times
more deadly than either in isolation. The combined effect on the
cancer cells is best left to the imagination.
But
what about danger to the rest of the body's cells?
Another enzyme, rhodanese, always present in larger quantities
than the unlocking enzyme beta-glucosidase in healthy tissues has
the easy ability to completely break down both cyanide and
benzaldehyde into beneficial body products. Predictably perhaps,
malignant cancer cells contain no rhodanese at all, leaving them
completely at the mercy of the cyanide and benzaldehyde.
Any
physician reading this article will probably be shaking with
self-righteous indignation at this stage, muttering to himself:
'Yes, but where is the PROOF???' Right here! Most people have
heard of 'spontaneous remission', where the cancer simply goes
away, hopefully never to reappear. Spontaneous remissions are
exceedingly rare and vary from one form of cancer to another. One
virulent variety known as testicular chorionepithelioma has never
been known to produce a single spontaneous remission. Perhaps for
that precise reason, Dr. Krebs singled it out for special
attention when proving the effectiveness of B17 Laetrile in
providing total control for cancers. As Edward Griffin recounts:
"In
a banquet speech in San Francisco on November 19, 1967, Dr. Ernst
T. Krebs, Jr., briefly reviewed six such cases. Then he added: Now
there is an advantage in not having had prior radiation, because
if you have not received prior radiation that has failed, then you
cannot enjoy the imagined benefits of the delayed effects of prior
radiation. So this boy falls into the category of the "spontaneous
regression... "
And
when we look at this scientifically, we know that spontaneous
regression occurs in fewer than one in 150,000 cases of cancer.
The statistical possibility of spontaneous regression accounting
for the complete resolution of successive cases of testicular
chorionepithelioma is far greater than the statistical
improbability of the sun not rising tomorrow morning."
Wisely perhaps, Griffin notes that because of the adverse
publicity against B17 Laetrile, and because of the difficulties in
obtaining the 'banned' substance, most cancer sufferers turn to
the vitamin as a last resort, long after they have been burned by
radiation therapy, and/or poisoned by chemotherapy. He points out
that once the body organs have been savagely damaged in this way,
there is little if any chance of B17 Laetrile being able to effect
a cure. The body is simply too far gone.
