Vitamin B17, amygdalyn and leatrile - are 3 names for the same natural substance. Scientists found it in seeds of apricots. After that they found it in over 1200 types of plants.
Ancient Egyptians described it in papyrus which was 5000 years old and they wrote about its healing effects. 4500 years ago Chinese described similar effects of using bitter almonds. First information about healing effects of B17 appeared 60 years ago. The person who promoted B17 was Ernst Krebs. Since then scientists have shown its effect in more than 20 countries.
In many people who have cancer and ate raw apricot seeds and vitamin B17 in pills cancer disappeared. But people who aren't ill can have problems because their body is damaged after chemotherapy and tumor. If patient's body is completely "eaten" by cancer, seeds of apricots can make your life longer compared with chemotherapy.
So why don't we use amygdalyn in cancer therapy?

AMA (American Medical Association) attacked Krebs and his team because you can't patent food or vitamins and patents give money.
Dr Krebs isolated vitamin B17 from apricot kernels and then synthesized it in crystal form. At this time FDA( Food and Drug Administration) gave information about a couple who had poisoning after they ate raw apricot seeds. The story was on the first page of every newspaper in the USA. Journalists looked for this couple but they couldn't find them. Since then people thought eating apricot seeds is the same as commiting suicide. But Dr Krebs proved that B17 isn't harmful for people: after testing it on animals he injected a lot of vitamin B17 in his arm. He didn't die and he didn't have side effects.
You probably have heard information that you shouldn't eat preserves made of fruit with seeds because there is prussic acid in seeds and you can get poisoned. It's echo of this situation with FDA.
I have taken vitamin B17 for a long time. It's interesting that a couple years ago you couldn't buy it in Poland. I oldered it from the Czech Republic. Lately I saw amygdalyn in a pharmacy but I'm not sure if it was it. I'm still ordering it from the Czech Republic.
Have you heard of vitamin B17?
Have your parents told you that you can't eat seeds from fruit juice?
Do you want to try vitamin B17 after my presentation?
Comments
Yes, a bit. I’ve read recently about it:” 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.” Like in your article. Here’s the link: http://www.chrisbeatcancer.com/b17-laetrile-alternative-cancer-treatment-suppressed-50-years/
Have your parents told you that you can't eat seeds from fruit juice?
Yes. They said “a tree will grow in your stomach”. Every one of us probably heard that in their childhood times.
Do you want to try vitamin B17 after my presentation?
I think I’ll try to find Amygdaline in Poland. But I know that the apricot seeds contain prussic acid so we should remember it while using it. It’s not my area of expertise to know all vitamins.
I have heard about B17. Like most of the vitamins and minerals it's nessecary fot out organisms to work well.
I have never heard from our parents not to ear seeds and I see no point in scaring children with trees in theirs stomach.
When I was younger I sometomes ate some seeds (cherry, apple) and today it also happens (watermelon). When I was younger I was told to not to do it (it was about cherry), because it may cause stomachache.
I don't recall my parents telling me not to eat the seeds, but I recall that I have heard about the prussic acid inside the seeds, so I haven't eaten them anyways.
I could try to take a closer look at various vitamins and control what I consume more.
“Vitamin is an organic compound and VITAL nutrient that an organism requires in limited amounts” – humans don’t require amygdalin so calling it a vitamin is just misleading.
Clinical trials showed that amygdalin hasn’t got any beneficial effects for cancer patients, and for me it’s disgusting trying to make money of people who suffer from cancer or are terminally ill.
Also basic chemistry shows that amygdalin degradation process produces cyanide, so it clearly is dangerous.
From the other hand natural medicine offers so many different products which usually can help you for any disease you have that I lose my confidence abut that.
As you can see, I am alive, no one was poisoned)
