Laetrile Is An Effective Treatment For Cancer

Many people in the world today suffer from various forms of cancer. Some

types are carcinoma, leukemia, sarcoma, lymphoma, and melanoma. One out of

three of us will develop cancer in our lifetime. That is eighty-eight million people in

the United States alone. And according to the American Cancer Society, 1.3 million

new cases of cancer were diagnosed in 1996 and more than 555,000 died from it.

One out of eight women will develop breast cancer. Every three minutes a woman is

diagnosed with breast cancer. Every two minutes, a woman dies of breast cancer in

the United States. Presently there are seventy six million people with cancer in the

United States. In spite of the availability of FDA approved treatments, more than

600,000 cancer patients die every year in the United States. Conventional therapy is

failing. With billions of dollars spent each year on research, we are finding that there

are more people today making a living from cancer than dying from it. An alternative

must be offered. Thousands of people today are testifying that when conventional

programs told them to go home and die, they sought out alternatives and because of

them, they are alive and well today. I will tell you about this controversial alternative

to cancer treatment that has been around for quite a while. It is called laetrile, and I

believe it has a positive effect on cancer patients.

About thirty years ago, people in the United States had heard rumors that the

mystery of cancer had been solved by a free apricot seed, apple seed, or any food

with the vitamin B-17 in it. During 1950 after many years of research, a dedicated

biochemist by the name of Dr. Ernest T. Krebs, Jr., isolated a new vitamin that he

numbered B-17 and called Laetrile. As the years rolled by, thousands became

convinced that Krebs had finally found the complete control for all cancers. Each

year, thousands of Americans travel to Mexico and Germany to receive Laetrile

therapy. They do this because it has been put down in the United States. Most

patients have been told their cancer is terminal, and that they have only a few

months to live. But after going through the Laetrile treatment, an incredible

percentage of them have recovered, and they are living normal lives. Meanwhile

hundreds of thousands of patients die each year after undergoing surgery, radiation,

or chemotherapy, but those treatments continue to be considered “safe and

effective”.

What is the Laetrile treatment, you might be asking yourself. Laetrile, also

known as Amygdalin, is a natural chemotherapeutic agent found in over 1,200

plants, particularly in the seeds of common fruits such as apricots, peaches, plums,

and apples. The seeds are called laetrile, and the extract is vitamin B-17. It is a

diglucocide with a cyanide radical that is highly “bio-accessible.” This means that it

penetrates through the cellular membrane, reaching high intra-cellular

concentrations very quickly. This is what makes this treatment so controversial.

Many scientists believe this cyanide is lethal to living organisms. But according to

the website entitled “Apricots From God”, some of the world’s top scientists claimed

that when consumed, the components of the seed make it 100% impossible to

develop cancer, and will kill existing cancer in most cases. There seems to be no

danger in this type of treatment because research has found that we have normal

cells in our bodies that contain an enzyme called Rodhanese, which “neutralizes”

the Amygdalin. This enzyme does not allow the Amygdalin to release the cyanide.

So because of this, the Amygdalin only serves as glucose to healthy cells providing

energy. There have been thousands of proposed non-toxic alternatives for cancer

treatments, but the majority of them have been promoted for a short time and then

abandoned. Laetrile has survived for more than 70 years.

Laetrile is available in many other countries except for ours. It is available in

Australia, Brazil, Belgium, Costa Rica, England, Germany, Greece, India, Israel,

Italy, Japan, Lebanon, Mexico, Peru, The Philippines, Spain, Switzerland, the

U.S.S.R., Venezuela, and Vietnam. But like I mentioned before, it is not allowed in

the “land of the free”. A while back, things such as the apricot tree became illegal as

individuals couldn’t even obtain them anymore. All over apricot seeds were taken off

the shelves by the store owners or by police raids. So laetrile, vitamin B-17 and

apricot seeds became outlawed and deemed ineffective by the American Medical

Association and National Cancer Institute. Well since then, apricot seeds and

vitamin B-17 became legal, but still no store will sell them and jeopardize being

raided. Even to this day, you can’t get apricot seeds in your health food store, only

the dried ones which have all the importan
