Guest guest Posted April 7, 1999 Report Share Posted April 7, 1999 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.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2000 Report Share Posted June 13, 2000 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. Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 14, 2000 Report Share Posted June 14, 2000 , 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.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2000 Report Share Posted June 14, 2000 : 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 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....). Bob B.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 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.
