Who is using B17 (apricot seeds)?

[Guest guest]

I searched and see references to grinding it up and putting it in milk. But

also, it was said that you need to take it with bromelain and zinc in order for

it to work?

Is anyone taking these daily? I'm also curious if there are any current stories

about whether or not they help?

Also, are the b17 tablets as effective as the actual seeds?

Would you please post or email me the article that said this (particularly re:

zinc).

I think it's rather commonly known that laetrile's much more effective if taken

w/proteolytic enzymes (e.g., bromelain, pancreatin) and vit. A (also NAC and

manganese, I heard).

B17 (aka amygdalin/laetrile) tends to help slightly.

Apricot kernels are " generally good, not too expensive, and rarely a downside "

(Gammill, 2000).

When laetrile's given IV in huge doses, it tends to help moderately (but it's

relatively ineffective w/brain cancer, sarcoma, and benign tumors).

>Also, are the b17 tablets as effective as the actual seeds?

I suspect think the tablets are ground up seeds.

Schachter, M.D. and Brodie, M.D. have prescribed 500 mg taken 3

times a day or 3-5 apricot kernals 3 times a day (Diamond et al., 1997, pp.

78-79, 376). Take several small doses throughout the day (NOT 1 large dosage).

“start with a minimum amount and increase slowly…take them with

food!….chew them extremely well, or [grind them into] powder.â€

I would NOT take more than 5 at a time nor more than a total of 25/day.

Apple, pear, and watermelon seeds also contain B17.

Leonard, it was not an article, it was from various posts here on this board,

where members discussed the apricot seeds, and someone mentioned that it had to

be taken with zinc and bromelain, so I was asking for clarification.

I'm interested in adding it to help with the tumor on my neck. i did a lot of

reading last night and it seems to have a good track record of reducing tumors,

so I thought it might be worth a shot.

When you say, " take with " bromelain, etc., does that mean they have to be taken

at the same time, or just as part of the daily intake?

Right now, I am taking systemic enzymes, Zymessence, which contain bromelain

and/or papain (I'll have to confirm which or both - I thought they were the

same). Would I have to buy just pure bromelain to take with the seeds?

The tablets - they have to be chewed also?

Just trying to get some clarity - the sites that sell the seeds don't give any

information about how to take them, for obvious reasons.

Thanks!

Hi all cassava root is VERY high in B17 scroll down on this site for the

instructions how to make the B17 Juice http://tinyurl.com/88mon

Okay, any thoughts on the best way to digest the ground apricot seeds? I just

started yesterday and I had read of some people putting them in pineapple juice

a few times a day. I used organic grape juice today, but now I'm concerned

about my sugar/fructose intake, even though its fruit and I only use a few tbsp

each time. Someone else suggested milkshakes, but then there's the dairy

factor. If I'm to take these about six times a day, then I need an acceptable

method that won't harm my diet or feed the cancer. Should I order empty

capsules and put the powder in the capsules throughout the day?

I hope my mention of my neighbor ordered to drink 'shakes' by his Oncologist

because that was as bad advice that could have been given.

there is no doubt but that juices have a high concentration of sugar which is

why when eaten, with the pulp, the Glycemic effect is lessened.

If you were to chew the seven or so seeds with 'some' pineapple juice, if that

is the preferred way, I don't see you " feeding the cancer " with enough of the

juice to aid in downing and assimilating the Apricot kernels. Perhaps Leonard

will jump in here with some suggestions.

As for an answer as to whether or not they help? Tough to answer because

nothing works for all people all the time and you need to find out if your

particular cancer is often helped by B-17 intake.
