Vitamin B17: Able to Treat and Prevent Cancer, or Pure Poison?

poison question mark 263x164 Vitamin B17: Able to Treat and Prevent Cancer, or Pure Poison?Natural Society -by Christina Sarich

So, you’ve heard of B6, B12, and even B-complex vitamins, but likely not vitamin B17. This powerful vitamin substance shown to halt cancer has also been called poison. So which is it: a natural treatment, or ‘quackery’?

Vitamin B17 is patented in the U.S. as Laetrile, but used in Mexico simply as crushed apricot pits, without boiling the seeds and turning them to ethanol, which then produces benzaldehyde. You can also find the tampered-with version as laevomandelonitrile, the man-made version of  B17, and amygdalin, the natural version of B17.  

According to the National Cancer Society, Laetrile is staggeringly lethal, and even makes cancer tumors grow larger. The US government has made B17 downright illegal, so why are many naturalists saying apricot seeds, which are naturally full of vitamin B17, are extremely effective at curing cancer? And how can something be toxic, if it naturally occurs in dozens of other foods like soybeans, mung bean sprouts, hundreds of vegetables, wild-berries, Oregon grapes, and cassava, a tropical sweet potato?

Further commentary from the Mayo clinic suggests that B17 poses toxicity risks due to ‘significant levels of cyanide in the blood of patients.” They also claimed that there was no scientific basis for Vitamin B17 to treat cancer. So what’s the story? Are we to trust large hospitals or special interest organizations backed by Big Pharma or research like this:

For five years, between 1972 and 1977 laetrile was meticulously tested at Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research in Manhattan under the direction of Dr. Sugiura. At the conclusion of his experiment he reported five results:

  • 1. Laetrile stopped metastasis (the spreading of cancer) in mice.
  • 2. It improved their general health.
  • 3. It inhibited the growth of small tumors.
  • 4. It provided relief from pain.
  • 5. It acted as a cancer prevention.

The Sloan-Kettering Cover-up

Furthermore, the efficacy of B17 for cancer prevention has been called a down-right cover up:

“Ralph W. Moss gives an excellent overview of the political and scientific controversy that has surrounded laetrile in his book The Cancer Industry. He states, ‘Although spokespersons for orthodox medicine continue to deny that there have been any animal study data in favor of laetrile, this is contradicted by a number of studies, including—but not limited to—those at Sloan-Kettering.’”

Other supporters of B17 who continued the research started by Sloan-Kettering say Vitamin B17 is definitely a cancer-treatment and preventative. Dr. Manuel T. Navarro, and Robert Bradford of the Committee of Freedom of Choice are among them.

Is Vitamin B17 another great natural cancer treatment that the pharmaceutical companies silenced since the C-word is big business, or is it truly a poisonous substance that can kill us and make our cancer worse. With the government’s track record of late, like calling walnuts illegal drugs, it would probably be best for you to do your own research and decide what you believe.

  1. Hey #1, good post. What I understand about B-17 is that cyanide is released only in the presence of a byproduct of a cancerous cell development. This is the scare tactic that big pharma uses is that cyanide is a poison. What they don’t tell you is the “poison” is only released upon cancerous cells.

    1. Millard, all of that information is in an article I wrote last summer. I explained exactly how the B17 works, killing ONLY cancerous cells, and NOT the healthy ones, as does chemo and radiation. Radiation actually CAUSES cancer, so how they get people too believe it could CURE cancer is beyond me. If you haven’t already read the article, I’ll gladly post a link, if you like.

      1. Thanks for the offer #1, cancer took the life of my wife 19 years ago (before I knew about B-17) and please do post that link. I’d like to read it, thanks.

          2. Most welcome, Millard. Educate others with this one. It’s very convincing research.

          3. I worked at Mayo Clinic at the time and my wife and I had discussed a trip to Mexico for treatment. We were chastised by her Mayo clinic oncologist for even thinking about it. Today, I still wonder……………….

        1. Both great articles.
          Thanks for going through the time and effort to research and post. I know it can be time consuming.

          1. Most welcome, d.

            Actually, after what they did to my family, it was the least I could do, to expose the very deception that led to their premature deaths (murders in my book).

  2. They say that Laetrile is a poison? well then just WTF do they call chemo? They say that marijuana is bad and that herbal meds do not work. The AMA – or what ever they want to call themselves – just doesn`t want to admit that they have been lieing to us all for so many years that they do not know how to tell us the truth and I personaly do not think that they want the truth to get out.

  3. Since you wrote your article last year, #1 and posted G. Edward Griffin’s video on B-17, I have told everyone I know, especially those who are undergoing the poisonous Chemo about B-17 and apricot pits. The smart ones have taken my advice, while the ones that prefer to stay in the matrix, obviously stay with the Chemo.

    Keep getting the word out. Everyone needs to know this. GNC and the other brainwashed pharmacists at pharmaceutical type shops like CVS and Walgreens continue to claim that B-17 and herbs are bad and have never been tested or approved by the FDA (a joke in itself) and should not be trusted, so that they (the pharmaceutical companies) can continue to get make their corporate profits by spewing out false propaganda, statistics and reports, much like the MSM does.

    What do you expect from Corporate States of America?

    1. I’ve posted the link to that particular article far more often than to the others I’ve written, NC.

      I still think it was my best one.

  4. This is why I eat the whole apple and leave only the stem
    Apple seeds also contain B-17
    I also follow a paleo/primal diet
    And exercise regularly
    Had 2 mild colds within 3 years and
    nothing else.

    Feeling great.
