Question
About 30 years ago the pharmaceutical industry lobbied the F.D.A. in the U.S. to prevent the sale of "raw" apricot seeds in the U.S.. It's been said and apparently proven that the vitamin B-17 in apricot seeds can actually rid the body of cancer cells, including those in the brain. I see why the pharmaceutical industry wouldn't like this since they'd profit nothing from this. What are your experiences with Vitamin B-17 and treating cancer.
Sorry, it has not been proved at all! If it had NO ONE would be able to stop it from being used! After all raw apricot seeds are right now being used here in my native Sweden as a cheap substitute for almonds for making marzipan for a popular kind of bakery product at this time of the year called in Swedish semla. So their use would indeed be impossible to stop. It is not being used because that notion is a myth without foundation in reality. Sorry! However raw apricot seeds CAN contain cyanide (just as bitter almonds do) which indeed is a deadly poison (used in gas chambers for executions) so their use should be practiced with caution. I believe THAT fact was what really mattered to the FDA!
If you know of such people - which I do not - why do you not assemble them and go to the newspapers with all their stories? If there were any facts involved here that would be a BIG scoop! But until that is done and all the evidence has been tested I WILL remain a skeptic! SORRY!

| Comment | You really paid attention in medical school but obviously are not willing to think outside the box in which the medical industry has put you. I know MANY cases where people have rid themselves of cancer using B-17 from apricot seeds and the tablet form. Of course no proof exist in the medical industry!! There are more people that make a living from cancer than die of cancer. Who is going to kill that goose laying the golden egg? | ||
