The phrase ‘Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food’ could not hit any harder, especially when it comes to the present discussion related to cancer and our present state of nutrition and health. I do understand that venturing into this discussion may be touchy due to the fact that we have only allowed medical doctors to dictate the present cases, acceptable cures and latest treatments regarding cancer; while the everyday citizen without a medical degree has succumbed to it and the fact that they wake up one day and discover they (we) have cancer in some form or another. As a nutritionist I feel that it is my duty to open up the discussion to everyone here; discussing healing through nutrition hasn’t been made illegal (yet).
I unequivocally stand by the belief that many types of cancer can be cured with food and earth elements, as well as cure many other types of illnesses that exist out there today. What I don’t want you to take away from this is the idea that I am encouraging you to leave your present treatment or your oncologist if you are currently battling cancer. Even with this however, I do feel it is important to highlight one of the greatest cover-ups in the history of cancer treatment that happens to be related to a little known (to the greater public) anti-cancer remedy and treatment known as Laetrile, which is also known as vitamin B17.
One of the greatest concentrated sources of vitamin B17 can be found in the seed of fruit that many of us may have taken for granted: the apricot. The actual seed is found beneath the hard pit of the apricot. The anti-cancer agent found in the actual Laetrile B17 vitamin is known as amygdalin.

Question:“If B17 is so powerful and helpful towards cancer elimination then why is it not prescribed by modern Physicians as a treatment?”
Simple Answer:“A control for cancer is known, and it comes from nature, but it is not widely available to the public because it cannot be patented, and therefore is not commercially attractive to the pharmaceutical industry.” — G. Edward Griffin.
So once again the lives of many are held hostage at the cost of patents, certain doctor’s incomes and a possible sizable reduction of chemotherapy centers; that would thus reduce profits for the pharmaceutical industry. What makes vitamin B17 so powerful is the fact that it is comprised of glucose and hydrogen cyanide. The way it actively destroys cancer cells is by the glucose ‘injecting’ itself into the cancer cell. Then the cyanide and benzaldahyde from the glucose create a targeted poison that kills the cancer cell. This natural form of chemotherapy was (and still is) considered controversial. Many medical professionals claim B17 is toxic. Well, the last time I checked, having cancer (in any form) is toxic in itself and causes death daily. The only thing B17 is toxic to is cancer cells and a corrupt government.
So Here’s Where The Cover-Up Comes In
Although it was not approved for treatment by the FDA, doctors like John A. Richardson M.D. began using it “illegally” to treat patients at his clinic in San Francisco, and it was working remarkably better than orthodox treatments. His success with laetrile is documented in Laetrile Case Histories: The Richardson Cancer Clinic Experience by John A. Richardson M.D. and Patricia Irving Griffin, R.N. However the team was later was forced to downplay the overall benefits of B-7 when held up against conventional cancer treatments. The FDA then came out hard in its attack on Laetrile. The FDA considers Laetrile an unapproved form of treatment and ‘illegal’ for a practitioner to administer, therefore you cannot buy Laetrile in the US, though you can buy B17 / amygdalin in supplement form. You can also gather the seed of the apricot and consume them at your discretion either as an anti-cancer agent or even in the midst of battling cancer (as reported by those who defeated cancer using B17).

“What would happen if everyone in the world ate right, and in addition to this knew about the healing effects of B-17?”
This question I’m sure is one that many of those attacking the documented benefits of B17 couldn’t bear to answer. Outraged by the B17 cover-up by the FDA and the AMA, for a 5 year period between 1972 and 1977 studies were conducted by Sloan-Kettering on the anti-cancer benefits of B17 to which it was concluded that:
- Laetrile inhibited the growth of tumors.
- It stopped the spreading (metastasizing) of cancer in mice.
- It relieved pain related to cancer.
- It acted as a cancer preventative.
- It improved general health of the cancer patient.
One of the researchers on that panel, Dr. Kanematsu Sugiura was asked:“Do you stick by your belief that laetrile stops the spread of cancer?” He replied famously, “I stick.” But then later Sloan-Kettering came out and fired one of its top spokesman on the subject, Ralph Moss for reporting on the findings. This passive-aggressive type of behavior when it comes to natural cures for cancer only hurts the general public at large.
But while it is one thing to hear about clinical trials of B17 and how it eliminates cancer cells, it is totally different when actual, real life people have cured themselves of cancer and are living to talk about it. These are people who have fought back against the system, took control of their destiny and listened to their own bodies. To read one such story, that of Christopher Wark, click here.
The Legacy Of Dr. Max Gerson
I wouldn’t do any service or justice to try and tell the full story of Dr. Max Gerson in this particular piece. But what I will tell you is that his legacy is continuing through his daughter, Charlotte Gerson in San Diego. The San Diego location acts as an informative hub. The actual cancer treatment center is located in Tijuana, Mexico and Budapest, Hungary due to United States laws on cancer treatment. Even if you are not 100% percent convinced that any of this has any validity, you still owe it to yourself to know about The Gerson Institute and what Dr. Max Gerson was doing for cancer patients before he was marginalized, stripped of his medical license and ultimately set up.

Being Proactive In Our Fight Against Getting Cancer
The best medicine is preventative medicine. I don’t have to read off a long list of statistics. If you’re an American, on the standard American diet or even an immigrant who has accepted the standard diet of present society, if you exercise very little and engage in other harmful bodily choices, then cancer is running after you: that’s a statistical fact. There are some instances when no matter what you do, cancer will find you. Even if this is the case, it is no excuse to not be proactive and get an early start of ridding even the slightest possibility of getting cancer in any form.
As powerful as B17 is, there are also many other natural foods that have been shown to be helpful in warding off cancer. Consuming black seed (Nigella sativa), aloe gel, aloe juice, ginger, chia, cumin, flax, large amounts of raw fruits and vegetables, turmeric, goji berries, food mushrooms (white button, shitake, etc), Swiss chard, chili peppers, spirulina, wheatgrass, and sumac are all beneficial — as is regular periodic fasting. And many other plant based spices and foods have been shown to be helpful in the fight to keep cancer at bay. Eating is one thing, how we live and think is another. Meditate daily. Don’t smoke cigarettes..
All we truly have in this world is the present moment. In this present moment, let us learn about suppressed natural treatments for not only ailments related to cancer, but on many other diseases as well. Why isn’t nutrition taught consistently in medical school? It is something to think about. It is never too late to change. It is not too late to take the power back. Here’s to your health.

He began his path to conscious nutrition while studying for a BA in Sociology at Hampton University. After bouts of body pain, distress and periods of consistent fatigue, David took it upon himself to address his own food choices. Having learned how to heal himself, David wanted to share his knowledge and Natures First Path, a practice devoted to educating people on mindful, holistic nutrition was born. He has practiced in New York City, Hampton, Virginia, San Diego, California and most recently, Los Angeles, California. Find out more about Daud and his work at NaturesFirstPath.com.
There is a doctor here in the U.S. that has had the cure for cancer for over 40 years. Many people cured there own cancer, stage 5 and under with organic food. This is why the World is stating that the U.S. Congress will be responsible for the Genocide of 90% of the human population. Worldly wisdom! The problem is all of the lies and deception that has been going on for thousands of years.
More info please. Who, where, how…

Other cancer doctors, increase body Ph and O2 levels. Wheat grass has the same building properties as hemoglobin. The nutrition of vegetables is at 2% organic is about 15% I have not found anything close to 100%. Research how to cleanse the body. Chelation is one of them. Ph you can use food grade baking soda. Keep me updated please. Steve

Anti-neoplastones!
Because there are different types of and different causes of [cancer]…..there is no single cure!
What’s in your food?
Losing your rights, you never bothered to do any research. The root of cancer is caused by a few men who wanted to make a ton of money. It you listen to we the people who have cured their own cancer you would know who and how cancer is formed.
Hi it is not only in the U.S. it has also been done in Russia. Before there were healers that knew of the cancer and had the means to heal it. But the new government got rid of almost all of them (1900 – 1970 some where then). Maybe only few survived. In the post I saw there were two ways to get rid of cancer without the use of metal.
Here is the site that I got the info from, but the thing is that the language is Bulgarian :

well it was already translated by @Denise Destiny Marie
I have heard this before and am very interested,
how many seeds would you need to consume daily?
The seeds are deadly.
Soda is deadly!
No one as of yet has died from ingesting the seeds
You must be God
Well my husband has been eating them for six months and he’s still alive
cyanide poisoning try;
Grains like millet, buckwheat and barley and flax are good sources. Nuts like bitter almonds, cashew nuts and macadamia nuts are excellent sources of Vitamin B17.
From what I have read from research the seeds are only poisonous when they are turned into a gas. Ingesting them in their solid form isn’t harmful to the body. I have yet to read about a person dying from ingesting the seeds of fruit. In fact most animals (beings who are far more healthy than us humans) eat the seeds of fruit with the actual fruit. My family has been juicing fruit (seeds and all) for years and have yet to become victims of cyanide poisoning….
It would be interesting to see your blood levels
Steve, it would be interesting if you admitted you don’t know your ass from your elbow.
LOL, since I know for a fact that one Doctor has had the cure for cancer for over 40 years. An herbalist has cured cancer, Diabetes, AIDS and other STD’s. You should get enough vit b17 in apple juice since they don’t remove the seeds before juicing.
Steve must be a paid TROLL of the disinformation whores. Its ok we understand that thinking makes your massive brain hurt. We understand you have been Brainwashed you have or sympathies and pitty.
#stevesAprogamedDrone
Right On Uncle Joe, you made me Laff !
FDA has required that all nuts be pasturized in the US and Europe followed as well. The FDA allows them to be advertised as “Raw”
Almonds etc the pasteurization neutralizes the B17 in the almonds. This is the FDA attempt at preventing the public from using this as a cure. After all the cancer industry is a multi billion dollar industry. Chemo only has a 4% success rate. I don’t think you know what the hell your talking about.
Please explain your comment , unless you work for a pharmaceutical company , in which no need to explain.
My daughter has always eaten the apple seed – again said to contain cyanide and she’s bouncing and full of good health
Really? I have consumed up to 40 in one day and never got sick. 6 every hour 40 in total. Have been doing so two or three times a week for over a year and have yet to get sick.
The cyanide only makes you sick if you consume large amounts at one time. On top of this my uncle’s lung tumors have shrunk since he started eating them.
You are deadly too.
to cancer…you didn’t finish the sentence…
Two seeds a day is what I’ve seen recommended, but that might be a maintenance dose. There is no clear formula for reaching a saturation dose for how long, to bring depleted levels back into the normal operating range.
Hi Will. This is a very good question. From what I have heard, those who are actually in the stages of Cancer have consumed 30 plus seeds daily in conjunction with clean and healthy foods while eliminating meat and dairy from their diets while doing this. For those who have not be diagnosed, just eating them on a regular consistent basis have been shown as a prevention method. This is just one of many foods that are out there that have been shown to help in the prevention area. Best of luck to you.
Hello Daud, I am wondering if you know of any great sources to buy apricot kernal seeds?? I have been searching relentlessly on the internet but it’s hard to find reliable non gmo / organic products that are trust worthy!
Thank you !
Wal-Mart online sells a 1 pound bag of raw seeds for just under 29 dollars.
this is weakly bound cyanide, vitamin c can break those bonds and cause this ‘b-17’ (no such thing really) to become deathly toxic.
how many apricot seeds does one have to eat to be negatively effected? also does this apply to peach seeds?
See http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/Cancer/laetrile.html
Good ole Doc Barrett. The biggest Quack of them all. : )
I have known about apricot seeds and Laetrile since 1975; it has been used and discussed and vilified and pushed underground- Jetro Koss’ transformative naturopathic bible ” Back to Eden”; the movement to understand the organic dynamic powers of have and will continue to go on-but unless big business can control it, the government can tax it and it is marketed through an enterprise intentions’ with powerful influence to make money -Not through home remedies and native cures
Unless there is way to restrict the free access of the healing creative forces …..the forces that be will be marginalized and good intentions will be usurped and then twisted to neifarious purposes to their own ends…usually to put an end to free access to our own natural rights to grow and further our own health . I speak of what I know/ despite all the knowledge and natural cures both my mother and father were toxified by chemotherapy and the AMA bandwagon approved big money operations-both died from the full exhaustion and depletion of nutrition -the byproducts of the war against cancer…..no restorative countermeasures to utilize the body’s organic systems of defense were ever tried. Don’t fall for the lie! Investgate the restorative energy producers and the natural pharmaceutical of plants, fruits, seeds,herbs, massages, acupuncture,sunlight, sound, spiritual healing techniques.

I’m just going to jump right in here. Hopefully some of you will read this article I came across. Very interesting and a good read to help with all the myths and misinformation on this subject.
I spoke to someone that sells apricot kernels for cancer treatment a few years back. What I understood with the cyanide poisoning, from what was told to me, is that you just can’t crack open an apricot and eat the seeds inside the pit. It can be toxic to some but buying it from a place that manufacturers them for cancer treatment usually has them treated to make them non-toxic for human consumption. There are many middle eastern countries that eat almond bitters regularly as a treat (what the apricot kernel is called once extracted for eating) but I believe these are not raw and are treated first so they are not toxic. Some may react to cyanide and some may not. It’s all about your genetic make-up. I’m not a doctor but I have read many many articles on this and the argument goes back and forth so it’s hard to know what is truth, what is lie and what is exaggerated.
The article contains questions and answers on the truths about all these questions what everyone here has asked and wondered and even questioned and argued about. I hope this helps but please read it to the very last sentence. This will answer EVERYONES questions. It does not argue for or against the use, it just goes through the myths and questions.
http://www.canceractive.com/cancer-active-page-link.aspx?n=512
Play nice everyone. Too much arguing when in actuality, no one here is a doctor or scientist or has had cancer. We can only go by what we read in whatever form; book, article, wiki, website etc. Not everything on the internet is a lie and not everything on the internet is true. You have to find the consistencies to know for sure. Doctors work for the pharma companies so I don’t believe everything they say either. At the end of the day, if ANY of us had cancer, I think we would try any method if it was a life or death sentence. It’s a personal choice so no one can say one is right and one is wrong. Some survive and some don’t. That is life. One person can die of cancer from smoking at 40 and some smoke and live to 85. Go figure. That is how your genetic make-up is different from others. One may get and the other may not. That is the same for twins. Twins don’t die on the same day and some have one twin turn out to be gay and some not. Sorry for the example but just trying to get the point across. We try our best to eat right, exercise and live long. Not all of us will though even with a healthy lifestyle. People that never have smoked got cancer, runners have died of heart attacks and some smokers are healthier than a non-smoker. It’s like Sesame Street…Some things are just not like the other…..
Cheers!
Many foods contain this very same B17 that the apricot has, the only difference is that apricots have the highest amount. None of the other foods are treated to make them non poisonous, so it is unlikely that a special treatment is required just for apricots. Also, the indigenous peoples who gather and eat these seeds, eat them raw. Therefore, it is plain to see that eating untreated seeds is the logical approach.
Total bullshit.
I have been eating the seeds of fresh apricots and as far as i can tell I’m not dead!
What a bunch of bull, do you have single article that proves the result as opposed to internet junk science.
One thing no one ever talks about is the PH of the body. Most of our foods are acidic which promote cancerous cells. When you think of how fish need their water pH’d to live as well as our plants to grow strong and health and our swimming pools then why is our body ignored. Also be careful of the water you drink as most cheap water is on the acidic side where as drinking Fiji or other higher pH’d waters are more alkaline. An important factor in our health is more alkaline foods and drinks to balance our pH. Instead of grabbing pills to stop heart burn which is caused by an acidic diet drink alkaline water. It is much better for you and you will notice a difference as well as alkaline water keeps you hydrated better. Just some food for thought.
My mother ate these seeds when she had cancer and she is dead now. I ate the seeds too and I am alive but then again I didn’t have cancer.
SMH another Laetrile article pointing at cyanogenic stone fruit pits.
From Wikipedia :
“Amygdalin (from Ancient Greek: ἀμυγδαλή amygdálē “almond”), is a poisonous cyanogenic glycoside found in many plants, but most notably in the seeds (kernels) of apricot, peach, bitter almond, and plum.
Since the early 1950s, both amygdalin and a modified form named laetrile have been promoted as quack cancer cures, often using the misnomer Vitamin B17 .[1]
but studies have found them to be clinically ineffective in the
treatment of cancer, as well as potentially toxic or lethal when taken
by mouth, due to cyanide poisoning. Neither amygdalin nor laetrile are vitamins.
The promotion of laetrile to treat cancer has been described in the medical literature as a canonical example of quackery,[2][3] and as “the slickest, most sophisticated, and certainly the most remunerative cancer quack promotion in medical history.”[1]
Please ResetMe, stone fruit pits have killed desperate, sick people. Have some responsibility…..
Conduct double-blind clinical trials and publish the results in a peer-reviewed medical journal. Until then, stop pretending you have anything to offer. You are just another quack.
May I bring to your attention That there are a vast difference between the cyanide in the plant seeds which is calcium cyanide and the very dangerous Cyanide used in Gold recovery that is Sodom Cyanide OUT here in Australia calcium Cyanide is found in the new growth of the local Gums which the birds and roos feed on
I’ve read the comments and some are still saying the seeds are poisonous. Well, in America, anything can be genetically-modified, so I won’t be surprised if the government made a tweaking in Apricot seeds, just like the rest of your food there.
Greetings from Carmel, CA. Not very far in is this “If B17 is so powerful and helpful towards cancer elimination then why is it not prescribed by modern Physicians as a treatment?”
To follow your train of thought one must assume this statement is true. I need to be shown on what basis this assumption is made because I don’t already know that it is true.
Thank you for your good deeds.
Someone riddle me this…….. In the absence of any reason to believe that laetrile was harming people, why would the FDA have an interest in banning it and making it unavailable?
From what I can tell, the only harm Laetrile ever did anyone was that it resulted in some folks claiming it cured their cancer. So What?
my son who turned 40 in Oct 2016 , got sick at work in last part of August 2016, went to er and then they did tests, told him to see a oncologist right away, cause they had found a large massive growth of tumor on his liver, he went to a oncologist and the dr told him he has stage 4 cancer, which is rare at his age, so they said it had started in his colon 100% colon cancer, which had metasized to his liver and very small spot on lung, so they said no cure but put him on agressive chemo, and all other types of meds, chemo 6 times after that he will go to James, dr there said to him, chemo will not cure cancer, only hopefully shrink tumors, he is sick of chemo, and also he is gonna lose his job if his dr will not release him to go back to work, his work place have been so nice to him, and even told him if he was able to come back, he would be put on very light work, he wants to go back,I and alot of other people have been praying for that beautiful miracle healing, which I beleive with all my faith he will be healed, and he also beleives he will be healed, he told dr he was gonna take a break from chemo and he has been using tumeric and other supplements, he looks good and feels better when he is off chemo, I would never tell him what he should do, either stay on chemo, or use what he has been doing, I am heartbroken cause he is my only child, so if anyone could give me some advice on tumeric or other things like ginger, ect, I would truly appreciate it, he is married with small ones at home and his sick pay is about to run out along with ins and job, thanks and have a great day’
I`ve been eating apple seeds and core since I was 12 or so now I`m 72 and still breathin.
Hello,
I was having a conversation with a sister of mine few days ago, and she mentioned melon seeds as rich in vitamin 17, I’m interested in this issue because my girlfriend have cancer that have metastasized to most parts of her body, including the blood, she does chemotherapy once a week, that day is a hellish day and I feel her pain in my soul.
I became aware of the ugly face of the medical and pharmaceutical industries based on my own personal medical history, I was cheated and had to do a bypass, which resulted in too many heart attacks of different magnitude, I became a regular visitor to Emergency rooms until I decided to quit and just enjoy life and die slowly or, I was waiting for the final attack without fear, in fact, between 2008 and 2014, whenever I felt that my heart is about to go into an attack, pain and pressure in the chest, I would go to my backyard and light a cigarette, close my eyes and say to the the “heart attack” with a happy smile, I would say come here already, I’m ready for you, I would keep smoking and smiling, the pain would subside and life continues …2014 I suffered a massive attack, a defibrillator/pacemaker were implanted, my ejection fraction was reduced to below 15% …walking 100 yards felt like a killer, I had to sit for several minutes on the sidewalk before I could walk again …I gave up, and was ready and happy, contented and waiting for that eventual heart attack and death ….last june of this year, something good happened, my twin boys visited me with their newly adopted baby husky puppy, I looked into it’s eyes, beautiful, curious, cute, foxy, inquiring …full of joy and excitement, then looked at my 19 years old twins and said to myself, I will live until I’m 92 years of age, I started paying attention to my body, started challenging my heart by telling it, do or die, then I would take slow long walks, while paying full attention to my heart, today is october /18 of 2017, and since june of this year, 2017, I have cured a horrible GERD condition that is incurable according to the pharmaceutical complex, fibromyalgia, also incurable according to the same complex, and I now run for 300-500 yards without feeling any pressure or chest heaviness, people tell me that I look very healthy and at least 10 years younger than I have looked just early this year, a sever case of constipation was eliminated by creating my own list of foods that are good for my body, and a list of never eat foods, all derived by fasting, then eating a certain kind of food, then waiting to see the results, pain, discomfort meant X, normal feelings meant add to list …
As per my girlfriend, when she is with me, she feels perfectly healthy, she is starting to follow my way of eating, but I cannot advise her to stop her chemotherapy, I just try to cheer her up as much as I can, by challenging her intellect, by joking, by listening and allowing her to say everything that she would not tell a man who had met her just 2 months ago ….her face is starting to show healthy signs, and I’m determined to heal her at any cost, including money and a full devotion to her and to her psyche, thanks for reading, please send positive thoughts of love toward her, her name is Marci, she lives in Buena Park, Orange county, California, please focus on this area and send your thoughts …I’m full of appreciation for all of those who read, and those who didn’t read this long comment.
LOVE …..
Sam.S.
Its pretty nice article. We all know how important the apricote is. I have same content like this to check out: Avukat Saim İncekaş

I was recently sent a message about the B17 vitamin, and was instantly taken by the message that was in it. I am a 4 year breast cancer survivor by way of mastectomy. I really never questioned if I should go through with the surgery because I genuinely felt the surgeon I had was giving me advice with whole hearted honesty. I felt like she had my best interest at heart. I didn’t know that I should research other options or to even get a second opinion because she spoke to me and my aunt with what seemed to be “love” for my health. But, I have come across other things after a few years down the road that made me have a hindsight about my decision. and now that I was presented with this information I don’t want to think that I have made the worst decision of my life in 2014. It’s really a mind blowing thing. My mom died from ovarian and pancreatic cancer and just a week ago another family member died from that same thing. What in the world can we do about this major issue? The fact that B17 could saved so many is extremely exciting. How do we get people to know more about this and how do we get doctors to work on our behalf with us?
I have been eating the seeds of fresh apricots and as far as i can tell I’m not dead!

suggest they give 2 full rounds of the roughest chemo to prisoners, and if they survive, let em go. Chemo is the product of the devil.
Question is can poison like b17 vitamins be cure for cancer with high stage cancer. My opinion in that case i that you need to boost energy first than after that use B17 like treatment for cancer.
There ar better alternatives for cancer cure than vitamin b17. There is artemisinin, curcumin, vidatox drops, poly-MVA. New thing fro me is that conventional medicine start to treat cancer with viruses https://www.cancer.gov/news-events/cancer-currents-blog/2018/oncolytic-viruses-to-treat-cancer
Vitamin B17 is just one of options!
