Nature's Cancer Prevention - Vitamin B17

Have you ever heard of vitamin B17? Maybe you have heard of its

other name - Laetrile.

Americans cannot access vitamin B17 because the FDA took it off the

market in the 1970s, and removed it from the B-Complex vitamins. It

is unlawful for any health practitioner to administer this vitamin

to patients. Apricot seeds are the best source for B17, but they

have also been removed from the shelves of every health food store

and natural market throughout the USA. Limited research has been

conducted on vitamin B17 since 1977. Once it was banned, it was

forgotten.

According to research from years ago, provided by nutritionists and

medical scientists, vitamin B17 is a natural cyanide-containing

compound that gives up its cyanide content only in the presence of a

particular enzyme group called beta glucosidase or glucuronidase.

Miraculously, this enzyme group is found almost exclusively in

cancer cells. If found elsewhere in the body, it is accompanied by

greater quantities of another enzyme, rhodanese, which has the

ability to disable the cyanide and convert it into completely

harmless substances. Cancer tissues do not have this protecting

enzyme.

So, according to past scientific knowledge, cancer cells are faced

with a double threat: the presence of one enzyme exposing them to

cyanide, while the absence of another enzyme found in all other

normal cells results in the cancer's failure to detoxify itself.

Leave it to nature to provide a form of cyanide that can naturally

destroy a cancer cell. The cancer cells that are unable to withstand

the cyanide are destroyed, while the non-cancerous cells are not

threatened by the cyanide, and, therefore, remain unharmed. Never

underestimate the body's potential!

Vitamin B17 is found naturally in many foods. If you eat foods

containing vitamin B17, your body will know what to do next. All

other animals in nature instinctively do this. Consider it nature's

cancer prevention. If only modern medicine would allow it.

San Francisco's Ernst T. Krebs, Sr., M.D. discovered the healing

qualities of vitamin B17 in 1923. His sons, Ernst T. Krebs, Jr.,

PhD., and Byron Krebs, M.D. continued their father's research in

1952, refining Laetrile's (B17) nutritional qualities.

From their research, the Krebs believed cancer was not caused by an

outside invading force but rather by malfunctions of the normal

mechanics within the body itself. They identified cancer as

a " deficiency disease. " The body's malfunctions, according to their

research, were the result of a deficiency of certain chemicals found

in food, a deficiency of chemicals they specifically identified as

vitamin B17, as well as a deficiency of enzymes known as trypsins

produced in the pancreas.

The Krebs had discovered a natural, drugless method to help prevent

cancer. But their discovery wasn't original. Years prior to any of

the Drs. Krebs' works, Drs. B. Wood and lin Bache, M.D.

published a reference volume in 1833 in which they described

amygdalin, derived from B17, as a common treatment for a wide range

of diseases and disorders.

Vitamin B17 is also referred to as a nitriloside, which is the

foundation for Laetrile, amygdalin, and prunasin. Together with the

pancreatic enzyme trypsin, these can form a natural barrier against

cancer growth. If foods containing any of the nitrilosides are eaten

regularly, the body's own immune mechanisms can naturally battle

cancer-forming cells. But if foods containing these critical

vitamins are not regularly consumed (or manufactured), nature's

mechanisms can't work as effectively against the buildup of factors

at the root of cancer and the countless number of degenerative

diseases.

This is happening to human beings today. Not only are advanced

societies environmentally polluted to dangerous levels, but also

more and more foods are being altered from their natural state by

man's own doing. Modern freeze-dried, fat-free, sugar-free, calorie-

free, weight-watchful, microwavable artificial food substitutes

don't contain nitrilosides. Most food manufacturers don't even know

what nitrilosides are. Never in human history have artificial foods

saturated with preservatives and unhealthy chemicals dominated the

food supply to the degree they do today. Modern nourishment is no

longer nourishing.

In the late 1970's, Dr. Harold W. Manner, PhD., Chairman of the

Biology Department at Loyola University, Chicago, Illinois, studied

the overall value of Laetrile (B17). His work was well respected and

considered among the first unbiased studies since the Krebs' in the

1920s. He reported Laetrile as being virtually non-toxic.

When Dr. Manner used Laetrile in his medical research, along with

vitamin A and digestive enzymes, he discovered the production of

antibodies was stimulated against spontaneous breast tumors in his

laboratory mice. He studied the results of complete regression in 76

percent of the treated mice with mammary gland cancers.

Dr. Manner believed Laetrile received its best results when used in

conjunction with digestive enzymes, a traditional balanced diet, and

with vitamin A.

No physician has had more clinical experience with Laetrile than

Ernesto Contreras, Sr., M.D. of the Contreras Hospital in Tijuana,

Mexico, formerly The Oasis Of Hope Hospital. Dr. Contreras has

clinically used Laetrile for more than forty years on thousands of

terminally diagnosed patients, and has received impressive results.

One of Dr. Contreras' patients was a man suffering from severe colon

cancer. Using Laetrile treatments in conjunction with detoxification

protocols and proper vitamin supplementation, Contreras was able to

arrest the progression of his patient's cancer. The man lived more

than fifteen years beyond his predicted death.
