Vitamin B17 As An Assistance To Cancer Treatment

Vitamin B17 is a compound isolated from almonds in 1830 by the scientists Pierre-Jean Robiquet and A.F Boutron-Charlard.

Twenty years ago, Vitamin B17 became famous again as the center of a huge controversy when scientists claimed that the components of the apricot seed compound made it virtually impossible to acquire cancer, and that in most cases, it would even kill any existing cancers. When this happened, pharmaceutical companies initiated a series of FDA studies to determine any possible validity to this claim. Unfortunately, no scientific evidence was found to support this so any claims of its cancer eradicating effects were denied.

Vitamin B17 is also commonly known as Laetrile and Amygdalin and is found in apricot seeds. It was the apricot seed that was said to be the cure for all cancers as many as thirty-five years ago. The claims then were than if one ate as many as seven apricot seeds daily that cancer would never occur. It was a similar notion to eating one orange a day to prevent scurvy. Today however there is a large body of anecdotal evidence supporting the notion that Vitamin B17 does play a role in cancer remission. Unfortunately there is a lack of scientific evidence to prevent it from being approvded by the FDA. The notion that a cure as inexpensive and readily available as fruit seeds is not accepted by phramaceutical companies, so it has been rejected by the majority of the medical community.

Advocated of this theory however are abundant and still remain in the medical community, even if only in small doses. Many patients that already have cancer in their body show some form of tumor regression when Vitamin B17 is used. A significan prolonging of life has also been noted in those using Vitmain B17 as a cancer treatment. Vitamin B17 is used in anticancer treatment today but is most commonly prescribed in Mexico. Many Canadian and American patients travel to receive this treatment. In Montana and Indian, laws are currently in progress to establish legal prescription of Vitamin B17 for cancer treatment.
