Apricot kernels have been taken for years, but there is much negativity from

the government about taking them because they the B17 in them, according to

the FDA, has not been proven to help cancer, which is one of the reasons

people eat them. Also, they can, if taken in large enough quantities, cause

cyanide poisoning. The rule of thumb is not to eat more of the seeds than

you could eat the fruit of. So, if you could eat a couple apricots, then

eat a couple seeds. In fact, it is better to do so - I mean eat the fruit as

well as the seed at the same time.

Many eat the kernels by themselves, others grind them and sprinkle them into

or over foods.

Cyanide poisoning, is very very rare, and happens usually when someone eats

way too

many at one sitting. It can also occur if a person's digestion is poor and

the seeds sit and accumulate. It is highly recommended to include specific

enzymes when you start a regime of adding B17 to your diet.

Laetrile is legal only when prescribed by an oncologist. However, you can

get it in Mexico or on the internet.

Mr. (www.realityzone.com) revised and reprinted his treatise on the

topic, World Without Cancer, in 1995. And didn't have to change it much at

all. Things are about the same as they were in the 70's.

It is still believed by many to help prevent and treat cancer. It is used by

many people throughout the world and claims good success. But, as for

scientific studies, I can't give you any to back up the claims. Just the

reports of many many people who have been helped by it. I am hoping to have

some updated info to provide people over the next six months, and will post

this info if it becomes available.

But, as for " cure " , I don't know that you ever " cure " cancer. We all have

cells that have the potential to develop into what is called cancer. So, if

people think they are " cured " , they have a tendancy to go back to bad habits

that led to the cancer in the first place and, oops, they get it again.

If one wants to prevent or treat cancer, it has to be a " lifestyle " change

and for the rest of their lives. Nutrition, nutrition, nutrition, can't be

stressed more.

For more information on laetrile, go to the Alternative Cancer site

(www.datadepo.com and select the cancer page) where this forum is sponsored

and do a search on laetrile and/or kernels to get more information. Or, go

Cyanide ONLY ATTACKS THE CANCER!!!! I have friends who are bio-chemists and

have done actual research and it is IMPOSSIBLE to get cyanide poisoning from

anything with B17. Absolutely Impossible.

A friend of mine, a physicist, took apricot kernels when she was pregnant.

She says she was " craving " them. She took too many and became very ill.

Just be careful and monitor.

,

You say you have friends who are bio-chemists? Good for you. Have you

actually asked any of them about the potential for toxicity from high doses

of Apricot kernals? From your ignorance and use of profanity, obviously not.

Or if you have spoken with them and they have told you that there is no

danger, then they are the ones who are ignorant, and wrong.

Frist, let me be painfully clear that Apricot kernals are beneficial (we

have done studies to prove this), and can be safe, BUT ONLY IN MODERATE

DOSES. Consuming too much WILL (not may, will) result in negative toxicity.

Secondly, your comment that cyanide only affects Cancer cells is ludicrous.

I wish this were true.

Though it is " safe " , without toxic complications, to consume as much Wheat

Grass (another source of B17) or other laetrile sources as you would like,

there is a proven danger in O.D.'ing on Apricot kernals. I wish this were

not true, for my daughter's sake. It would be wonderful to load her up on

Apricot kernals and modify her 'cancer diet', but I know better.

A quick note to anyone reading this: Everyone here needs to keep an open

mind about the many benefits and dangers of certain protocals, supplements,

and nutrition. I have been watching this post board for many weeks, and it

amazes how many stubborn people there are here. Everyone that visits and

replies should be here to relay positive information on one thing or

another, or warn us about potential dangers or scams.

One of the causes of cancer is unforgiveness and resentment and emotions

like yours. Learn to love others and you'll be healthier.

: JAMA 1981 Feb 13;245(6):591-4

A pharmacologic and toxicological study of amygdalin.

Moertel CG, Ames MM, Kovach JS, Moyer TP, Rubin JR, Tinker JH

Six patients with advanced cancer were treated with amygdalin (laetrile) at

dosages similar to those employed by laetrile practitioners. Amygdalin given

intravenously at 4.5 g/sq m/day was largely excreted unchanged in the urine

and produced no clinical or laboratory evidence of toxic reaction. Amygdalin

given orally at 0.5 g three times daily produced significant blood cyanide

levels to 2.1 microgram/mL. No clinical or laboratory evidence of toxic

reaction was seen in the six patients taking oral amygdalin at this dosage.

One patient, however, challenged with a large intake of raw almonds, had

transient symptoms of cyanide toxic reaction with escalating blood cyanide

levels. This small study indicates that amygdalin in the doses employed

produces few clinical side effects. A definite hazard of cyanide toxic

reaction must be assumed, however, and possible long-term side effects

remain unknown.

List:

Amygdalin (Laetrile) has its merits but it can be abused. I am not all

that sure that extra high doses are advantageous. I had a client who,

against recommendation, drank a 3 gram ampule of Cytopharma Amydalin. He

had a violently upset stomach for a while. Nitriles can be quite dangerous.

BTW, I'm a chemist.

Cliff,

I didn't hear that your brother had a reaction from too many kernels. What

happened?

P.S. If you didn't hear, Health World's products are now being handled by

All I remember is that he ate a lot of them and the doctor said he had

definite signs of Cyanide Poisoning.

Actually, I am not very familiar with Apricot seeds and Leatrille. I am

learning from this list.

Grace,

Just to clarify a bit: Apricot seeds can be bought in health food stores. I

once heard several years ago that they were " illegal " , but found that it was

only illegal to be making medical claims since the claims have not been

" proven " (and, of course, that's another subject...).

I have some in my refrigerator right now - cost me about $14/lb. They're

good - a little " tart " , but I like them! I think they're worth eating as a

cancer preventive (just as scurvy is a vitamin deficiency....).

I also stock them. On the other hand, I do not make any claims.

Apricot Kernels can be had from American Biologics a company that is distributed

by others such as Vitamin Shoppe ..........at least it once was. Check out

where to get them. Try to find out about the supplier that distributes them.

I bought ours from www.wildernessfamilynaturals.com. It is organic, washed and

dried, so all you have to do is eat them.

Hi all Cassava/Yucca Root has B17 Lateril acid the Imperial College of London

has done research on killing cancer with the C/Y root Red Rapbeeries have

Ellagic Acid Kills cancer & B 17 so adding C/Y root Juice B 17 makes sense to me

if you type in milk on this site you will see how to make the C/Y root juice

Also Info on IP6 & Green Tea (EGCG) makes " C " cells weak without the IRON they

need for tumor growth etc.so your Natural Killer cells can do their thing

Dear Jackie in AU,

I would consider it a miracle if it were true. I have always heard that the

pits from fruits such as prunes and apricots contained toxic chemicals. Apple

seeds for example contain poison. In fact, if you eat enough apple seeds or

cherry pits, you could die. Apple seeds contain cyanogenic acids. Cherry pits,

and seeds from related fruits, including peaches, plums, almonds, pears, and

apricots, contain cyanogenic glycosides. Your body can detoxify small quantities

of cyanide compounds. If you accidentally eat a cherry pit in a pie or swallow

an apple seed or two, you'll be fine. When Adam and Eve ate that apple, I don't

think they were told to eat the seeds. LOL

I'm open to finding a cure anywhere I can. When you think of it, the meds

that we take are very toxic. We are told to wash our hands after touching them

and consider all the side effects we are reporting. I know when I have to

return my bottles from my trial, the woman who counts them complained that I

left the covers off (extra baggage to me) and she didn't want to touch the

bottles because she was trying to get pregnant. I think she should change jobs

if that is a problem for her, because we touch the bottle after we take the

pills, so our fingerprints are on there, cover or not. I think it is ridiculous

to make you carry 6 months of bottles at the clinic for the amount of time you

are there, because the Research Nurse who picks them up is the last person I

see.

Now I'm done complaining for the day and hope you are all having a wonderful

day. I know some of you are being hard hit by snow and ice and I say, be very

careful. My heart goes out to all of the people who are without power in this

cold, harsh weather spell.

Here is something for you to read up on concerning apricot pits. Anyway you

get the idea - it is toxic and you should speak to your doctor before taking

anything that has a possibility of interacting with cancer drugs. Something as

benign as grapefruit can be harmful, as are herbs. Herbs are medicine, so we

don't know how it is interacting with any med. This should keep you busy for a

few days. LOL
