Vitamin B17 – Destroyer Of Cancer Cells
Cancer is an ugly word. It evokes a picture of pain, prolonged and discomforting treatment, and possibly disfigurement. Some people equate the disease with sure death. Only a few years ago cancer was hardly discussed above a whisper and few people who had it would openly discuss their illness.
But the picture is changing. As people learn more about cancer, the myths are disappearing. People are learning that many cancer victims can lead normal lives, and that significant progress is being made in saving and extending the lives of its victims through early detection, improved surgical techniques, x-ray treatments, and new drugs. Detected early and treated properly, cancer no longer means certain death.
Vitamin B-17 is an important nutrient that is gaining attention for its cancer-fighting abilities. Vitamin B17, also known as laetrile or amygdalin, was coined by Dr. Ernest T. Krebs as the “antineoplastic Vitamin” due to its anticancer properties.
Studies have shown that B-17 helps to increase the body’s ability to fight cancer. B-17 does this through the creation of hydrogen cyanide, which is released into the body’s tissues. This compound then attacks and subsequently destroys cancer cells. Clinical tests have shown that B-17 reacts well with vitamins A, C, E, B-15, pancreatic enzymes and other nutrients in order to break down malignant cells.
Vitamin B17 also called Laetrile or Amygdalin is among the main components of food in cultures like Hunzas, Eskimos, Abkasians etc. No wonder these tribes have never ever reported a cancer case. As per dedicated Biochemist Dr. Ernst Krebs, instrumental in bringing B17 to the modern world, we need at least a minimum of 100 mg of B17 or around 7 apricot seeds to almost guarantee a cancer free life.
Here are some of the major foods that contain this amazing cancer fighting substance:
1 Seeds of Fruits or Kernels: These have the highest concentration of B17 in nature apart from bitter almonds. Seeds of apricot, cherry, apple, peach, nectarine, plum, pear & prune contain good amounts of laetrile.
2 Nuts: macadamia, bitter almond and walnuts.
3 Beans: burma, broad (vicia faba), lentils (sprouted), mung (sprouted), lima, scarlet runner, rangoon.
4 Berries: Nearly all wild berries- chokeberry, blackberry, christmas berry, elderberry, raspberry, cranberry, strawberry.
5 Grasses: acacia, aquatic, alfaalfa (sprouted), milkweed, sudan, minus, white dover, wheat grass.
6 Seeds: flax, chia, sesame.
According to numerous studies published by a number of independent biologists and medical professionals, wild apricot seeds are the best source of vitamin B17, the highest concentration of vitamin B17 have in these seeds
