Apricot Seeds, Vitamin B17 and Laetrile - The Real Conspiracy

The main ingredient in apricot seeds that cures cancer is called laetrile, more commonly known as vitamin B 17. Dr. Ernst Krebb, Jr. was the first person to use laetrile in treatments upon his discovery of vitamin B 17 in 1952.

Dr. Krebb’s work in cancer treatment involved the search for missing diet nutrients because he believed that cancer was a metabolic reaction to a poor diet.

Who else was taught to cut the core out of, or eat around Apple seeds?

Apple seeds contain laetrile too, and they are edible.

Apricot seeds may contain more, but there are several other sources.... just sayin'.

the article mentions that: Trivia: Laetrile (B-17) is found in over 1,200 plants and most commonly in the fruit seeds of apricots, peaches, plums, and apples.

I use a juicer with apples and I wonder if I'm getting B17 from juicing?

Wow this is news to me. I am familiar with Apricot seed but did not know anything about apple seeds other than that they supposedly contain cyanide.

So if apple seeds do contain cyanide like compounds are they safe to ingest and if so how many should one consume

Second can you ingest apricot seeds as a cancer preventative or is not safe to do so. If one can prevent myself from developing Cancer simply by trying these methods than it should be a no brainer it just that I've heard they can be toxic as well

I apologize for the typo

Vitamin B-17 components make-up is part cyanide.

Well that certainly makes sense considering it's anti cancer properties.

leech then juicing?

I'm not a physician and can't give any advice, but the article mentions the following in regard to the cyanide:

When the laetrile compound molecule comes across a cancer cell, it is broken down into 2 molecules of glucose, 1 molecule of hydrogen cyanide and 1 molecule of benzaldehyde. In the early days of laetrile research it was assumed that the hydrogen cyanide molecule was the major cancer cell killing molecule, but now it is known that it is the benzaldehyde molecule that is by far the major reason the cancer cell is killed.

Grape seeds are super good for you too, but if you eat lots of grapes you'll have explosive shitz...

Everything in moderation.

That's the key.

Eat the seeds from your apple-a-day and ~really~ keep the doctor away.

According to G. Edward Griffin:

"cyanide is an essential part of the anti-cancer action of laetrile or vitamin B–17. Now don't let that scare you because I know we have a cultural antipathy towards cyanide in any form because somehow or another we know that they kill people with cyanide in the gas chamber and it is poisonous. Indeed, when taken in the gaseous form and when taken to excessive quantities, but cyanide in trace amounts as you will see, when you get into the scientific question in trace amounts, is not only safe but very essential for health."

The seeds that pop out of my juicer get ate... they're soft and taste appley!

Griffin added:

"Also, the fact that cyanide is in the vitamin B–17 is about the same as saying well golly, we dare not eat any table salt because table salt is sodium chloride and you all know that chlorine gas is deadly."

According to an article on Laetrile Therapy, “Krebs, Jr. and his research group found that amygdalin has its powerful cancer killer capabilities because it contains cyanide that destroys cancer cells. Not all cyanide compounds are poisonous. Humans constantly eat produce with cyanide--about 1,200 kinds of foods have it. Detoxification of cyanide can take place in all tissues of the body, but principally in the liver. The dosage levels and toxicity of amygdalin (Laetrile) in laboratory animals and humans is well established and documented. No evidence of acute or accumulative toxicity was observed in any animals given doses in excess of 100 times the maximum intravenous dose usually given in humans.”

thats a good idea :)

OK so I read some of the article and it stated that the dose consumed by the Hunza is between 250 and 3,000 milligrams

Anyone have any idea as to how many apricot or apple seeds that would be?

I was a long time smoker and I started to have pain under my rib.
I was affraid I would get a lung cancer, so I started to eat apricot seeds.

At first they seemed horrible, but I got used to them.
I ate about 15 seeds every morning, just chewing them and than I noticed after a while that I feel much better in general after I eat them!!

I am absolutely sure they are not toxic as I never felt bad or anything.
My chest pain disappeared and ever since, I take them sometimes when I feel a little pinch again.

I can say, I truly believe they help.

People must ask: WHY are bitter apricot seeds not readily available in stores throughout the US? (Also, concord grapes WITH seeds)

There are companies that sell apricot seeds (they must be bitter seeds) and also the capsules can be ordered, but people must do research and order only the best quality. Clinics in Mexico administer IVs of Laetrile.

The seeds can be eaten, but are VERY bitter; can also be ground up into a powder and sprinkled on food or put into gelatin capsules.

did you quit smoking at that point?

Is it possible to buy B-17 suppliments?

not sure about that but they sell organic apricot kernals on amazon: [link to www.amazon.com]

The wife and I have been eating apricot pits for several years now. (www.apricotpower.com) The lump in my wife's breast is gone too. We don't do quacks. Sorry, I meant doctors.. I like the pits, the wife doesn't. CANNABIS OIL!!

An apple a day keeps the doctor.........

Where do you buy the seed?

Usually at organic or health food stores. You might have to ask for them though as they might keep them off the stores shelves. At least this how my local health food market does it.

Just read several reviews on Amazon, all people claiming the same thing as you - that they used it to treat cancers of all sorts and it never came back. Now to think it's actually BANNED by the FDA, hmmm.....I'd bet anything because they know about it and would cost them a fortune if the people found out too. This needs to be pinned ASAP!

My father's tumor reduced from 10cm to 5cm after taking B17 for a few months, fucking 7/8 reduction in size. That's after the doctor told him even if they combine the most 'advanced treatments' they won't be able to do squat. Fuck the cancer industry, pure quackery and robbery.

Apple seeds are delicious. They taste like Amaretto. If you don't chew them, though, they pass through you whole - nature's trick to plant new apple trees.

I was taught not to eat apple seeds as a kid, too. Didn't until I read G. Edward Griffin's stuff and watched his videos on Youtube.

The new apple varieties have few seeds and they don't look the same. Luckily, many of the old ones are available. Delicious, Braeburn, Rome Beauty, any old apple, if fully ripe will do. Granny Smiths are usually sold unripe, they are yellow and not so tart if fully ripe. Empires and Liberties, not so old, are great, too.
