(NaturalNews) Are apricot seeds a source for a natural substance that
kills cancer cells without destroying the cancer victims health and
wealth? The essential ingredient has been called laetrile or vitamin B
17. If there is any merit to it, why is this information being
suppressed? Why are people who have been cured or have cured others
being censured and imprisoned? Could be there is something to the
claims.

Keep in mind that the cancer industry world wide is
estimated at a 200 billion dollar a year industry. There are many in
various associated positions within that industry who would be without a
job if that cash flow dried up suddenly with the news that there are
cheaper, less harmful, and more efficacious remedies available. Big
Pharmacy would virtually vanish.

What is B17, or Laetrile
Anyway?

In 1952, a biochemist named Dr. Ernst Krebb, Jr. in
San Francisco decided that cancer was a metabolic reaction to a poor
diet, and a missing nutrient from modern mans diet could be the key to
overcoming cancer. His research led to a compound found in over 1200
edible plants throughout nature. That compound is amagdylin,

Amagdylin
is found with the highest concentration and necessary enzymes in
apricot seed kernels. A primitive tribe, the Hunzas, were known to
consume large amounts of apricot seed kernels. The hard pit had to be
broken to get into the soft kernels. There was no incidence of cancer
with them at all, ever. And they had long, healthy life spans. Laetrile
was created by simply extracting amagdylin from the soft apricot
kernels, purifying it and putting it into a concentrated form.

Amagdylin
is a nitrioloside. Nitriolisides are difficult to categorize since they
are in foods but not foods themselves. As a nitrioloside, amagdylin
resembled the B complex structures, so Dr. Krebb called it B17 since by
that time 16 types of B vitamins had been isolated.

Dr. Krebb
injected himself with laetrile to ensure there would be no toxic side
effects. He conducted further lab animal and culture experiments to
conclude that laetrile would be effective in the treatment of cancer. By
the way, the FDA standard for drug safety is known as LD 50, LD stands
for lethal dose, and the 50 is the percentage threshold of lab animals
poisoned to death by the drug tested. As long as the percentage killed
is under 50%, FDA will approve it!

Since laetrile is derived
directly from a food substance in nature and not chemically developed in
a laboratory, it is impossible to patent. And of course its not toxic.
In other words, just as with all natural healing substances, Big Pharma
and the AMA can’t make a fortune from the substance and from the
remedies for the long term side effects. There have been several
testimonies from cancer victims who cured themselves by chewing large
quantities of the apricot seeds alone.

The seeds are more
available to consumers now than laetrile because in 1971 the FDA banned
laetrile. Laetrile is difficult, but not impossible, to purchase. The
seeds are actually the soft almond shaped, bitter tasting kernels from
inside the pits. A few users prefer extracting those soft kernels from
the pits themselves. But the soft kernels are available and inexpensive.

So
How Does It Work?

Amagdylin contains four substances. Two
are glucose; one is benzaldyhide, and one is cyanide. Yes, cyanide and
benzaldyhide are poisons if they are released or freed as pure molecules
and not bound within other molecular formations. Many foods containing
cyanide are safe because the cyanide remains bound and locked as part of
another molecule and therefore cannot cause harm.

There is even
an enzyme in normal cells to catch any free cyanide molecules and to
render them harmless by combining them with sulfur. That enzyme is
rhodanese, which catalyzes the reaction and binds any free cyanide to
sulfur. By binding the cyanide to sulfur, it is converted to a cyanate
which is a neutral substance. Then it is easily passed through the urine
with no harm to the normal cells.

But cancer cells are not
normal. They contain an enzyme that other cells do not share,
beta-glucosidase. This enzyme, virtually exclusive to cancer cells, is
considered the "unlocking enzyme" for amagdylin molecules. It releases
both the benzaldyhide and the cyanide, creating a toxic synergy beyond
their uncombined sum. This is what the cancer cells beta-glucosidase
enzyme does to self destruct cancer cells.

Amagdylin or laetrile
in conjunction with the protective enzymes in healthy cells and the
unlocking enzymes in cancer cells is thus able to destroy cancer cells
without jeopardizing healthy cells. Chemotherapy, on the other hand,
kills a lot of other cells and diminishes ones immune system while
killing an undetermined amount of cancer cells.

Those cancer
cells tend to return elsewhere because the patients general health was
reduced from the pervasive chemo toxins. The cancer industry has
declared the bench mark for curing cancer as being cancer free for 5
years. Its estimated that of those who undergo the AMA big three for
curing cancer, surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, no more than 3%
make the 5 year cancer free mark. Besides the treatmentsdebilitating
effects, they are much more expensive!

But for someone with
cancer, it takes a considerable amount of daily B17 consumption to
enable the amagdylin to reach the cancer cells with beta-glucosidase.
Thats because some of the amagdylin molecules will be neutralized by
the normal cells containing rhodanese.

Many practitioners who use
laetrile have an 85% cure rate among cancer victims who did not undergo
much of the standard cut, burn, and poison that is main-stream – while
the cure rate for those who come to laetrile therapy as a last resort
after all that conventional medicine could only have a 15% recovery
rate. There is a clinic in Mexico that claims a 100 percent cure rate!

The
Medical Mafias Suppression

Since around 1920, practitioners
of alternative cancer therapies and remedies and their messengers have
been marginalized, harassed, imprisoned, and even killed. Federal
agencies have been used to bring about bogus charges or IRS tax liens
that are enforced by US Marshals the way Dr. Gary Glum was hassled for
even writing books on Essiac Tea. See Natural News article "Essiac Tea: A
Cancer Cure Big Pharma Doesn’t Want You To Know About." http://www.naturalnews.com/026928_c….

A
young Brooklyn man, Jason Vale, was imprisoned because he refused to
stop telling others on TV and in lectures how he cured himself of cancer
using those nasty apricot pit kernels! Jason is a more recent public
example of the Medical Mafias grip on the legal system regarding B17.
Laetrile, which is non toxic, was banned by the FDA in 1971.

Shortly
after the 1971 laetrile ban, a practicing physician in San Francisco,
Dr. John Richardson, who had been using laetrile successfully on cancer
patients, came to his friend G. Edward Griffin, a published
investigative journalist, and asked Griffin if he could write up
something to help him and others continue using laetrile on their cancer
patients.

G. Edward Griffins research evolved into his
groundbreaking book, World Without Cancer. This book not only explained
laetrile and chronicled several cancer cures, but Griffins
investigative nose led him down the rabbit hole and into the underbelly
of the cancer industrys efforts at keeping alternative cancer cures
from the light of day. Thats how he discovered that the
Sloane-Kettering Cancer Institute had buried documentation from
scientistsresearch, which proved laetrile was "highly effective" at
curing cancer.

Griffin received those documents himself from a
Dr. Ralph Moss, who had been told to cover up that evidence and claim
that laetrile was worthless. He refused and left his position as PR
manager with Sloane-Kettering. Since that time in 1977, Dr. Ralph Moss
has gone on to write or edit several books on cancer cure options. Its
always encouraging to see an insider come out! Someone else filled Dr.
Mosss vacant position and lied the lies about laetrile that filled the
medical journals.

And what about those medical journals? Lately,
the most prestigious New England Journal of Medicine dropped its
standard of not allowing articles contributed to the journal from anyone
who was receiving money from Big Pharma, as long as its less than 10
grand annually. If they didn’t drop that standard, there wouldn’t be
enough articles to fill the journal! Of course, most medical journals
are glossy ad forums for Big Pharma anyway.

Both G. Edward
Griffin with World Without Cancer and Phillip Day in his book Cancer:
Why We’re Still Dying to Know the Truth, make it very clear that
the cancer industry does not really want a cure. Even non-profit
organizations get millions in donations from the brainwashed, huddled
masses along with funding for promoting Big Pharma. A non-profit
organization can and will have key people working for 6 figure plus
annual salaries, by the way.

Doctors mostly do as they are
trained and told; medical journals contain false reports and lies.
Cancer foundations have breast cancer months or whatever as PR to get
people into the disease industrys money mill as early as possible, and
at the top, there is Big Pharma. Its all about money and career. Not
about public health and "The War on Cancer."

So far in mainstream
medicine, its been a losing battle with more getting cancer than ever.
Around 1 out of 3 is destined to get cancer these days, and more are
dying from cancer after conventional treatments. Talk about pandemics!
All this with lots of cash going their way, enabling some to live a lush
lifestyle and others hanging on to their comfy, secure jobs at the
expense of our health.

Meanwhile, too many true humanitarian
doctors and herbalists and writers concerned with the truth wind up
being treated like criminals or nut cases, sometimes with their lives
destroyed. Thats tragic. And so is the fact that millions suffer and
die while being conditioned against using effective and less painless
procedures.

Laetrile Treatment

There are many
success stories from people using just laetrile or apricot pit kernels.
The usual recommendation for prevention is around 5 to 7 over the course
of a day. For actual cancer cases use 2 to 3 times that. Some say one
kernel for every 10 lbs of body weight. For maintenance after a cure, go
back to 5 to 7 per day.

Some laetrile therapists have patients
use vitamin B15 tablets and digestive enzymes such as papayas papain
and pineapples bromalene. Too many apricot pit kernels can create
nausea or dizziness. There are no recorded deaths or disabilities from
the apricot seeds or laetrile, however. Although some success has been
recorded with patients undergoing conventional therapy and using
laetrile, its not recommended. Eventually most of those who combine the
two get off the chemo or die anyway.

There are many
practitioners and writers who recommend you combine other alternative
cancer therapies while taking laetrile or using the apricot pits –
especially if you go for it alone at home. It should be obvious to
Natural News readers that a foundation of healthy food and less stress
is necessary. A fundamental lifestyle change has to be a part of any
permanent cancer cure. In addition, a little eclectic mix and match with
other alternative therapies seems like a good approach.

For
example, Gersons cancer cure therapys juicing protocol with the right
type of juicer and using coffee enemas to detox the liver could be added
with laetrile use. Its hard to go wrong with that healthy combination.
