Guest guest Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 To answer the question about aloe vera, I bought the actual plant for about $3.00. I just tear off a leaf and throw it in the juicer. There are different types of aloe vera plants and that would probably merit looking into. In regards to apple seeds. That has been the propaganda against B-17 all along, in particular that the seeds contain cyanide. I am not a chemist, but the articles I have read that go into great depth explaining the physics of it state the cyanide is only released, activated by cancer cells. I can not say there is no risk, it is a personal choice. One of the few heartwarming stories from the Tsunami was in a remote area that was less populated, less commercialism. The people noticed that the animals were fleeing and as such did so themselves with much less loss of life than other areas. Animals in the wild eat seeds, the bible references seeds. I just refuse to buy into the concept that health has to be paid for at the price of bankrupting my loved ones. Grant it with the status quo it is sad that some of the what looks like viable options have such a hefty price tag; again that is a personal choice and I hope only the best for those who choose that path. The seeds are a preventative as well. My intent is to document as much as I can for those I love so that hopefully it will prevent the same devastation of a terminal diagnosis and if so at least offer some light other than the oncologist who told me secretly, I might try some herbs or something.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Does anyone know of a source for apple seeds in bulk? With regards to the apple seeds and apricot pits, both of which contain the toxic elements in small quantities, I have read that the stomach acid neutralizes the toxicity of the seeds, especially in the apricot pits. Apple seeds, I agree, should be eaten in moderation, but it would require a lot of apple seeds to create that much toxicity. I have not done much research on the quantity per apple seed vs toxicity, but birds love them, and their size relative to a human, well.......
