Re: Apricot kernels

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I found a bag of Apricot Kernels in my refrigerator that has been there for at

least 8 years in a zip lock bag. I opened it and they smell fine so have

started using them, they are still bitter. They are from American Biologics and

can be purchased from Vitaminshoppe.com # MO-1053. Have no financial or

otherwise interest at at all in the Vitamin Shoppe.

Hi jackie,

Our family has been using the a.k. for a long time as a prventative

measure, we have read most of phillip day's books and similar,you can

learn more from his site at credence pubs, or campaing for truth in

medicine(ctm) which you can google.

also you can find a lot of info at other groups like flaxseedoil2@

and alternative_medicine_forum@ -both are great sources of info. we

combine the budwig protocol with the a.k. and eat it all together -thus

killing two birds with one stone!

Where we live a.k. are actually illegal(can you believe it!) so we have

to be careful how we obtain them.

Hope it is easier for you. kind regards kim

I think this is a good site for buying apricot kernels. They have info on the

site about dosage and the difference in types too:

The 'seven a day' dosage is supposedly a maintenance dosage.

Some have said that upwards of 20-30 a day is the proper dosage, however,

one needs to verify everything.

I did use approx 25-27 daily for a few months. I also understand that

Vitamin Shoppe can provide Kernels from American Biiologics which some

health food stores also carry. jc

Joe,

in your case, did they help?

Thanks, Slim

was again diagnosed with NHL agressive this time as a tumour near the bladder.

She is now back having Mabthera and Chemo but has been told that this time it

cannot be cured but once the tumour has been destroyed she can be maintained and

controlled by medication. During this time I was told by a lady who had been

diagnosed with breast cancer about apricot kernels. She had a tumour the size of

a 20c piece and in three months on apricots kernels alone it had shrunk to the

size of a pin head. I recently found a supplier of this product and my Mother is

now also taking them every day. Has anyone else out there used Apricot Kernels,

because if so I would love to hear of any experiences please.

Liver cancer is one that requires special care. Lots of homemade

the Gerson Therapy. Just put those words into a search engine such as

Google and you'll get plenty of information.

Regarding apricot kernels, here is a link that helps to explain them.

I've never heard of it and don't think the explanation for the " cover up " sounds

logical at all.

Governments are fed up with paying for expensive, over priced drugs, to the

point where some are refusing coverage completely. We see this in the UK with

Tasigna and Sprycel.

Incidentally, I've never seen any government advertise or promote any drug.

What possible gain would a government have to promote drugs that are bankrupting

them?

I was typing a medical transcript from the Royal Children's Hospital Cancer

Unit in Melbourne. One of the specialists there was talking about them. A 23

year old boy was diagnosed with testicular cancer. He heard of this, took

the kernels, at his next blood test he was cancer free.

I still find it interesting and will ask the Professor I see at Melbourne

about this.

I would find it ridiculous if such a simple thing WAS actually a cure.

Hi Tracey,

If green tea, apricot kernals, or any substance was a cure for CML, the

doctors (Dr. Druker, Dr. Talpaz, Dr. Goldman, etc) would be the first to

embrace it. They are in the business of finding a cure for cancer. It is

pure propaganda by those trying to promote their own remedy without any

independent studies.

I recall that Dr. Talpaz was the man who pioneered the use of Interferon

Alpha for CML. Once Gleevec was shown to be a much better and safer drug for

the treatment of CML, he immediately switched to prescribing Gleevec to his

patients.

If anyone would show him that green tea, apricot kernals or snake oil cured

CML he would be the first to embrace it and switch his patients to it.

I never see any scientific data they these compounds actually work.

Not only is there no scientific data on these things working, what data there is

shows that generally they don't, eg people in countries where green tea is

routinely drunk get CML just as much as anyone else.

There are already too many cases of people who tried to treat their CML with

natural remedies and are no longer with us as a result.

There are an awful lot of people out there with a financial interest in pushing

'natural' remedies and they are doind a great PR job of persuading people to

believe in them. It's a big industry and unlike the main pharmaceutical

industry it isn't properly regulated and doesn't need any scientific evidence to

back up its claims. It's also a lot harder for the widows and orphans left

behind to sue.

Folks

 

Landon and Steve McQueen tried Apricots (laetril).   Sadly we can't

ask them how it worked out for them.    Green Tea tastes great (and might

even be less filling) but it is no replacement for the medicine we take now.

 

If you wait long enough all the home remedies used over the centuries (mostly

unsuccessfully) will recycle via new marketing that will give it to you free -

if you pay for shipping.

 

There is nothing wrong with searching for unorthodox cures - but I think it is a

criminal act against yourself and your loved ones to stop taking the real magic

bullets that have been provided for you.

Hi

You are right. I had forgotten the name given to apricot pits....it is Laetril.

Mostly it is used in cancer clinics in Mexico....and we have not seen many (or

maybe any?) long time survivors from any of these treatments. The clinics are

BIG money makers for the people who own them.

The most legitimate books and articles to read on complementary medicine are

written by naturopaths.....who DO go to a medical school for 4 years and are

licensed physicians in some states (Washington, Oregon and Calif. among them).

I just heard on the radio that celery and parsley have an anti-leukemia

ingredient in them (they are good for juicing)....but that that same ingredient

can also interfere with chemotherapy. Don't know if this last comment would

pertain to our mollecularly targeted drug vs standard chemotherapy, which most

other leukemias are treated with. This might also go for the comments about

green tea interfering with chemotherapy (that I have not looked into yet).

[Guest guest]

While green tea is said to be full of antioxidants, and so may, if that theory

is right, be beneficial in improving one's chances of developing any cancer in

the first place, there is no evidence that it has any beneficial effect once CML

has appeared.  The Japanese consume more green tea than any other nation - and

their incidence of CML is 5 in 100000.  That's actually a little higher than

the UK, where it is between 1 and 2.  In fact, the overall cancer rate in Japan

is a little higher than it is in the UK, which suggests green tea isn't

particularly good at cancer prevention either.  Of course, other factors are

involved too.

I like green tea but I would not risk my life just drinking that rather than

taking Glivec/Gleevec, which reduced my PCR ratio from 83% to nil in less than 6

months. If anything is a wonder drug, Gleevec is. And, I expect, son, daughter

and " other relatives " of Gleevec will also prove to be, Gleevec having led the

way.  They have revolutionised CML treatment worldwide, and are specifically

directed at the mechanism by which CML develops and progresses. 

Good luck with your pregnancy and dealing with CML but I would second

everything Zavie and others have had - see a CML specialist: they really do know

their stuff and will give you the best advice.
