B17 Laetrile Amygdalin

Wow what a great article! I've taken excerpts from http://www.chrisbeatcancer.com/b17-laetrile-alternative-cancer-treatment-suppressed-50-years/

"Amygdalin or Vitamin B-17"

"Although technically not a vitamin, Vitamin B-17 was the name given to Amygdalin by bio-chemist Dr. Ernst T Krebs in 1952"

"B-17 is present in foods rich in nitrilosides i.e. bitter foods like bitter almonds.
One of the highest concentrations of B-17 is found in raw apricot seeds
aka apricot kernels.
Most folks have no idea what an apricot kernel looks like because they are actually hidden inside the pit.
Next time you eat a peach or an apricot, crack open the pit and inside you will find the kernel."

 "Apricot and peach kernels look and taste like an almond at first, but there’s a bitter surprise coming. You will be tempted to spit it out, but don’t do it!...."The first time you eat one is weird, but you will get accustomed to the taste."

 ....."but if you just can’t get used to the taste, you can grind them up in a Nut & Seed Grinder and add them to smoothies, soups, salads, etc.
They are more palatable that way."

"How much should you eat?
It’s recommended that you introduce them to your system gradually:
One per hour for the first few days, should be fine.

Eventually you can eat 10-20 at a time, up to three times per day, depending on your body. If you overdo it you might get a little queasy.
Your body will tell you when you’ve had enough.

B-17 is present in many foods and most fruit seeds including apples, cherries, nectarines, pears, plums, etc.
A simple thing to do is always eat the seeds after you eat the fruit.
I was happy to discover that I was getting unknowingly getting B-17 everyday from my Coconut Fruit Smoothies thanks to the blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries.

Also I never would’ve imagined that this book existed, but it does!
The Little Cyanide Cookbook: Delicious Recipes Rich in Vitamin B17 by June De Spain."

"The Hunzakuts of Northern Pakistan...."They often live to be over 100 years old. In 1922 British surgeon Dr. Robert McCarrison reported that they had never had a case of cancer and they ate copious amounts of Apricot kernels. In fact a Hunza man’s wealth was determined by the amount of Apricot trees he owned!"

"Enter Laetrile
When the powerful cancer-fighting properties of Amygdalin/B-17 were discovered, the next logical step was to extract and administer this substance in concentrated doses much higher than you can get from eating the seeds, and that’s what Dr. Ernst T. Krebs began to do.
Laetrile is the clinical name given to concentrated B-17 in supplement form or used in IV injections for medical treatment patented by Krebs.
Word rapidly spread through the health community about the success of cancer treatments using laetrile in the 1950′s and 60′s."
