B-17, Laetrile - CURE FOR CANCER - I'd like to hear a detailed explanation on how to deny this?

Question

Okay, vitamin b-17, known as laetrile will prevent you from ever getting cancer if taken 7 times a day. Why in studies have patients never developed cancer while taking vitamin b-17, namely apricot seeds. http://www.1cure4cancer.com/ - also why would the FDA ban laetrile, and even raw apricot seeds if they did nothing? BECAUSE THEY CANNOT COPYRIGHT IT, AND IF PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO USE THIS TO GET RID OF CANCER, THEY WILL LOSE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS A YEAR. The FDA is run by the big pharma which wants money, and any tests run by doctors to assure this works, will be shut down and hidden. When the B17 comes into contact with cancer cells, there is no Rhodanese to break it down and neutrelise it but instead, only the enzyme Beta-Gucosidase is present in very large quantities. When B17 and Beta-Glucosidase come into contact with each other, a chemical reaction occurs and the Hydrogen Cyanide and Benzaldehyde combines synergistically to produce a poison which destroys and kills the cancer cells.

yes, laetrile has cyanide in it, but it is contained until being broken open with the reaction of benzaldehyde, and nothing else. Regular human cells have a miniscule amount of benzaldehyde in it which in not a sufficient amount to break it open. On the contrary cancerous cells have up to 1000 times the amount, which releases the cyanide around that cell, otherwise killing it. For years, the FDA has said that substances containing vitamin B17 are dangerous because they contain cyanide. Yet, at the same time, the FDA maintains that vitamin B17 is not an effective cancer treatment because there is no way to release the cyanide it contains, making it ineffective against cancer cells. Tell me how this works out?

Hi Dan

Glad to see your educating yourself and sharing with people. This is what we need; a person like yourself informing as many people as we can what is really happening in our society. This is another example of a vitamin with strong healing power.

The FDA controls what you eat and medical practices that you can have. There are hundreds of cures for cancer and our govenrment has decided to use the power/money making route (chemo, surgery, and drugs). If we took away those 3 our ecomony would collapse for decades, but we would be healthier. A lot of people will disagree with that, but we are brainwashed into believing whatever the government and/or a doctor tells us.

The doctors are schooled to diagnose and prescribe (not heal). Think of the mindset that goes into that. Very powerful! If they were told to heal a person they would find a way.



Best of health to you

Answer 2

While no double-blind clinical trials may have been conducted, a clinical trial was carried out in 1982 by the Mayo Clinic[4] and three other U.S. cancer centers under NCI sponsorship. Laetrile and "metabolic therapy" were administered as recommended by their promoters to 178 patients with advanced cancer for which there was no proven treatment. None were cured or stabilized or had any improvement of cancer-related symptoms. The median survival rate was about five months. In survivors after seven months, tumor size had increased. Several patients suffered from cyanide poisoning.

Answer 3

Well, for starters; there is no documented scientific evidence that this product has ever worked for any cancer patients. Studies that have been conducted indicate that it doesn't have any adverse effect on tumours and they in fact continue to grow. Now let us just call B-17 by what it really is and that is Arsenic! As there is no such thing as vitamin B-17, it is just a friendly name for arsenic, as I'm sure people would more easily take a vitamin, as opposed to arsenic.

However, I believe that there was one case that claimed success with this treatment. but as with many of these quack remedies it was not scientifically monitored or fully documented. Consider the many thousands of people that are treated and saved using proven medicine and treatment, I guess you need to ask yourself are you "feeling lucky" to take B17 (Arsenic) on the chance that it may cure and that you may be the second successful case?
Sorry to say there are all too many claims floating around of such miraculous undocumented or scientifically verifiable treatments, which prey on those in need the most!

So, if the Arsenic doesn't kill you, then the untreated cancer probably will!

Answer 4

Isn't it odd how some people will condemn 'toxic' chemotherapy, but urge cancer patients to take cyanide instead?

You asked for a detailed explanation on how to deny that Laetrile is a cure for cancer - Nurse Kuba and John have given you a link to Quackwatch's excellent and robust debunking of it and I urge you to read it.

There is no such vitamin as B17, it was invented to give credibility and respectability to this scam.

You will also need information to debunk the 'secret cancer cure' conspiracy theory (is this for a debate or are you hoping to dissuade someone from taking laetrile...?). These two links are excellent:

Answer 7

Yet, another magical cancer cure!! A cure for all types of cancer!! Woo hoo!! Find the studies that prove it works for all types of cancer, and perhaps I'll give you one drop of credit for your discovery.

Answer 8

Haven't heard anything about this before. But be wary of the Quackwatch site, the guy who runs it is a known fraud. See http://www.canlyme.com/quackwatch.html and http://www.raysahelian.com/quackwatch.html. Whatever's threre, no matter how convincing, I simply can't trust it because we know the owner's character. He says many wrong things there w/o justification, and it's clear his effort is to try to discredit alternatives. What's funny is that he's not even an MD, he's an unlicensed psychiatrist. How odd! I just wish we could get truly objective research and reports. Like this report that gives us insight to disease names from the medical community - http://www.newstarget.com/009587.html. "Diseases" are really just "results" of lifestyle decisions. Now that's a good report!

I love your effort for searching for answers you won't get from the medical community typically. Some have seen the light and/or want to get out of the for-profit health care such as those involved with pcrm.org. The level of profit in the health care industry DOES cause a conflict of interest. Others will try to discredit it, but the RESULTS cannot be denied. Thousands have success with alternative care, and are thriving, alive and well years after being given months to live by the medical community.

I haven't heard of these, but I'd love to see CREDIBLE sources for those who've posted it doesn't help. Where do we find the medical community checking this, and HOW did they check it? Did they set it up to fail? The ACS's involvement does not add credibility to the wikipedia post, they are funded in large part by big pharma. I have read that they are the wealthiest non-profit in the world. See http://www.newstarget.com/022107.html. Does this mean they've been paid off?

I know they've tested things like what they call vitamin C, but did you know the government calls ascorbic acid vitamin C? If they just use one part of the whole, or in isolation, that study is set up to fail. Ascorbic acid is NOT vitamin C. It's one part of 6 elements that make up vitamin C. A study about the effects of processed ascorbic acid will not yield the same results as true, natural vitamin C. Additionally, government/medical studies will also perform studies in isolation, and that will not yield the same results when used in a balanced fashion. Clearly, they are out to discredit the alternative/natural field by misleading them. The educated and informed quickly realize what's going on.

So, the short answer to my rhetorical question is that no one can provide a credible source because those in charge of the "trials" and "studies" are effectively corrupt per the above paragraph. This argument between the medical and alternative fields will continue. The type of behavior exhibited by the medical community at large is reminiscent of the behavior of the Jewish rulers in Acts 4. They cannot deny the proven results of alternatives, so they try to discredit, threaten and prevent it's spread at all cost. Even when it's killing thousands at their own expense. It would be a different matter altogether if it were actually even 25% successful, but I have personally seen 20 out of 20 die under chemo/medical care. Thanks for your post.

BTW, I've also heard the FDA banned red yeast rice which is supposed to naturally control cholesterol. http://www.newswithviews.com/Ellison/shane5.htm. Why? Very good question. I think the likely answer is the same. They do not want us to be healthy, they want us on expensive, managed care.
