ummmm yeah...you didnt read enough

Laetrile and the Life Saving Substance Called Cyanide
by Philip Binzel, Jr., M.D.

A doctor from the U.S. FDA once said that Laetrile contains "free" hydrogen cyanide and, thus, is toxic. I would like to correct that misconception:

There is no "free" hydrogen cyanide in Laetrile. When Laetrile comes in contact with the enzyme beta-glucosidase, the Laetrile is broken down to form two molecules of glucose, one molecule of benzaldehyde and one molecule of hydrogen cyanide (HCN). Within the body, the cancer cell-and only the cancer cell-contains that enzyme. The key word here is that the HCN must be FORMED. It is not floating around freely in the Laetrile and then released. It must be manufactured. The enzyme beta glucosidase, and only that enzyme, is capable of manufacturing the HCN from Laetrile. If there are no cancer cells in the body, there is no beta-glucosidase. If there is no beta-glucosidase, no HCN will be formed from the Laetrile (1).

Laetrile does contain the cyanide radical (CN). This same cyanide radical is contained in Vitamin B12, and in berries such as blackberries, blueberries and strawberries. You never hear of anyone getting cyanide poisoning from 12 or any of the above-mentioned berries, because they do not. The cyanide radical (CW) and hydrogen cyanide (HCN) are two completely different compounds, just as pure sodium (Na+) - one of the most toxic substances known to mankind - and sodium chloride (NaCl), which is table salt, are two completely different compounds.

Verdict?

[bong_man]

i didn't actually read any of it to be honest lmfao seems pretty interesting I don't really understand haha

[MrNiceGuy420]

oh hah....i was very skeptical at first but, i think i might have to order some raw bitter apricot seeds, and eat them everyday because i dont want cancer haha.

they have to be bitter though because B-17 is bitter and alot of foods that used to be bitter are modified so they arnt...which may be why so many people do not get vitamin b-17, and eventually get cancer. and they have to be raw and not sun dried because sun drying breaks down the b-17

Considering the traditional method of treating cancer is to run poisons through an IV, it's not as far-fetched as you think.

[birdgirl73]

Laetrile has been around for many decades. And many thousands of Americans and people from other countries have sought its treatment for cancer outside the United States with little to no success. Don't you think that if it worked, even if it were not allowed for treatment here, it'd be a well-known fact around the world in other places?

It's not. And there's a reason why. If you read the link above, then please read the link below, too. I've personally known eight cancer patients who sought laetrile treatment in other countries, and all eight of them are dead today.

The Rise and Fall of Laetrile

Do a Google search on "laetrile" and read all about it for yourself. It's not new. It's not an effective cancer treatment or preventative. If it were, it'd be used by millions with great success, whether it were legal in this country or not. It was bogus 50 years ago, and it still is.

[MrNiceGuy420]

i dont believe a word of what you said birdgirl. why? because if the FDA and big pharma want to cover something up, they will very easily. Why would they not want people to know about this? because they make alot of money off of chemo, radiation, and surgury. Everyone who smokes weed should already know how much they hate natural medecines, AND also everyone who smokes weed should know, even for the safest medicines, people can come up with negative results. Im not doubting the fact that you know 8 people who have tried it and died, but like thcbongman said, the current method is pumping you full of poison that harms your entire body..not just the cancer, harmfull radiation, or expensive surgury that isnt always an option

i know if i ever got cancer, i would imediately start eating apricot seeds, if i see it isnt helping then ill use orthodox medicine

[rebgirl420]

Well coming from someone who HAS cancer id say your freaking crazy
