This is really depressing.

It also makes me wish I'd know about it back in 1998, but then again, even

if I magically got some B17 and cured my grandfather's cancer, he'd have

died of some other horrible disorder due to the awful way he ate all his life.

Hindsight sucks! The " if onlys " are like personal failure. Lost my two

best friends to cancer around '98. Have purposely forgotten year and

date of month pretty much. If it helps any this link went to two

friends, one in cancer treatment and another clean for a few years.

GFCFNN mentioned cyanide in sorghum. Looked for cyanide in almonds I'd

been told of. Found this article looking. Thought the traditional food

info fit right in here, too.

For the longest time, I couldn't remember when my grandfather died. Not

even which year, let alone which month, even though I remember all the

events surrounding his death quite clearly. About a month ago I asked my

mom, so now I remember the year, but I just had to check where I wrote down

the month and day, because that had already gone.

Strangely, I've had no such trouble remembering when my grandmother died.

I've periodically read about laetrile over the years. If it really works

as well as some people say it does, it's pretty tragic that big pharma has

squelched it so effectively. But I've never managed to convince a single

cancer patient to try it. They always listen to their doctors.

That may be true, but one thing I've learned is to not rely on

abstracts. They don't lay out the way the studies are actually conducted,

and surprisingly often the conclusion (and the abstract) are contradicted

by the data.

Yes, I know, I was trying to make you feel better... not planting my flag in

either camp.

I will say, though... honestly, I've known a lot of people and animals try a

lot of cancer therapies over the years, and laetrile is not one of the ones

anyone has come away from convinced. There are other unapproved alternative

treatments that really do seem to have enormous promise, but IMO laetrile is

not going to be one of the ones that makes the cut.

Naturally if I'm wrong, I'm wrong.

It didn't work for my dog, FWIW. I didn't use it preventatively though, as I

think the article discusses, but used it after he already had an advanced

stage tumor. Maybe I didn't give him enough...maybe it wasn't a good brand,

maybe I gave it with food instead of away from, maybe, maybe, maybe.
