Okay, vitamin b-17, known as laetrile will prevent you from ever getting cancer if taken 7 times a day. Why in studies have patients never developed cancer while taking vitamin b-17, namely apricot seeds. http://www.1cure4cancer.com/ - also why would the FDA ban laetrile, and even raw apricot seeds if they did nothing? BECAUSE THEY CANNOT COPYRIGHT IT, AND IF PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO USE THIS TO GET RID OF CANCER, THEY WILL LOSE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS A YEAR. The FDA is run by the big pharma which wants money, and any tests run by doctors to assure this works, will be shut down and hidden. When the B17 comes into contact with cancer cells, there is no Rhodanese to break it down and neutrelise it but instead, only the enzyme Beta-Gucosidase is present in very large quantities. When B17 and Beta-Glucosidase come into contact with each other, a chemical reaction occurs and the Hydrogen Cyanide and Benzaldehyde combines synergistically to produce a poison which destroys and kills the cancer cells.
Tarkarri - The only person I have met who fell for this garbage tried to get me to take this when I was going through my conventional cancer treatment over 7 years ago.
ReplyDeleteHe had been taking this poison for many years as a preventative. I ignored his advice and have been cancer free for over 6 years now.
He died of cancer 5 years ago.
Numerous scientific studies have shown this substance is of no benefit either in the treatment or prevention of cancer. However, it does contain cyanide and there have been documented cases where cyanide poisoning has occurred. That is why it is banned.
JLI - It is not a vitamin. Amygdalin/laetrile was claimed to be a vitamin by chemist Ernst T. Krebs in the hope that if classified as a nutritional supplement it would escape the federal legislation regarding the marketing of drugs. He could also capitalize on the public fad for vitamins at that time. Since the early 1950s, a modified form of amygdalin has been promoted under the names laetrile and “Vitamin B17″ as a cancer cure.
ReplyDeleteIt has been tested to see if it really is effective as a cancer treatment. And the results were disappointing. Here is a review from 2007 based on 36 clinical studies on the effect of laetrile on cancer in patients: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17106659?itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_RVDocSum&ordinalpos=2
None of these studies proved the effectiveness of laetrile.
Laetrile contains cyanide, which is a type of poison. So the side effects of laetrile are the same as those of cyanide. These include
* Sickness
* Headache
* Dizziness
* Liver damage
* A lack of oxygen to the body tissues
* A drop in blood pressure
* Drooping eyelids
* Fever
* Nerve damage, causing loss of balance and difficulty walking
* Confusion, coma and eventually death
It is estimated that eating approximately 50 to 60 apricot kernels, or 50g of laetrile, can cause death.
The lack of evidence and the risk of serious side effects are more than good reasons to ban its use as cancer treatment.

ETA:
It is conspiratory nonsense that substances derived from natural sources can't be patented. They need only patent a method of preparation or isolate an active ingredient to compete with any competitors.
There are more than 100 patented (and important) drugs that are derived from plants: http://chemistry.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.rain-tree.com/plantdrugs.htm
Tiny - B-17 is NO vitamin it is CYANIDE. You had better think long and hard about the buildup of this "vitamin" containing cyanide in your body before you start the preaching. People also say arsenic can cure cancer too.
ReplyDeletethinkingtime - It's a scam with cute names. It isn't a vitamin, and the cyanide in it isn't good for you.
ReplyDeleteSave your money for real treatment.
Good luck taking it seven times a day, BTW.
Narza - There is a story that I encourage you to read. It is a story about vitamin b17 or also known as Amygdalin for cancer treatment. Continue read at...

Thanks
lo_mcg - I'd like to hear a detailed explanation of your reasons for recycling a 4 year old question, word for word:
ReplyDeletehttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071111184401AAIm3Er
My answer remains the same as it was in 2007
Tink - You just wanted one, looks like you got five - and a kool-aid drinker.
ReplyDeleteBy the way - hydrogen cyanide and benzaldehyde kill healthy cells too.
I would like to hear a detailed explanation on how to deny that.
