Vitamin B17 In Apricot Pits (Vitamin B17)

Vitamin B17

One popular alternative cancer cure is Vitamin B17, also called amygdalin or laetrile. Derived from apricot pits, laetrile is not a vitamin. It is the cyanide component of laetrile Vitamin B17 that kills cancer cells. Laetrile was used as a cancer treatment long before the modern controversy erupted over its use.

The Hunza Valley in remote Pakistan, where residents are reported to be immune from cancer due to their consumption of laetrile (amygdalin) Vitamin B17 in apricot pits.

It is the cyanide component of laetrile B17 that kills cancer cells. Laetrile was used as a cancer treatment long before the modern controversy erupted over its use.

As early as 1845, doctors were using purified amygdalin (laetrile) Vitamin B17to treat cancer patients. In the 1920s and 30s travelers to the Hunza Valley in Pakistan claimed they couldn't find a single case of cancer among the people who lived there and attributed it to the apricot kernals that contained laetrile B17 in the Hunza diet.

In controlled studies, rats with cancer appear to live longer when given leatrile Vitamin B17. Most of the human studies have employed purified oral or intravenous laetrile Vitamin B17, not apricot pits which are widely sold as a cancer remedy. The renowned Dr. Hans Nieper of Germany later endorsed laetrile B17 for prevention of cancer, but not as therapy for existing tumors.

One secret of the laetrile Vitamin B17 cancer therapy is the described ability of an enzyme called glucuronidase to liberate cyanide from its carrier molecules and deliver it to tumor sites. Glucuronidase is more abundant where inflammation, infection and tumors occur.

Therefore, the carrier molecules (nitrilosides) render laetrile Vitamin B17 relatively harmless until it is unzipped by glucuronidase. When removed from its carrier, cyanide is delivered at the right place, at the right time.
