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
Yes, you solved it, there is a worldwide conspiracy out to get us. You keep promoting laetrile yet you aren't even getting your facts straight. You keep saying bitter apricots, its not bitter apricots. It is bitter almonds or apricots seeds, not bitter apricots. You keep saying bitter this bitter that but you aren't even quoting your own website correctly. "

I am just going to post this abstract on a study on laetrile for starters.

N Engl J Med. 1982 Jan 28;306(4):201-6

A clinical trial of amygdalin (Laetrile) in the treatment of human cancer.

Moertel CG, Fleming TR, Rubin J, Kvols LK, Sarna G, Koch R, Currie VE, Young CW, Jones SE, Davignon JP.



One hundred seventy-eight patients with cancer were treated with amygdalin (Laetrile) plus a "metabolic therapy" program consisting of diet, enzymes, and vitamins. The great majority of these patients were in good general condition before treatment. None was totally disabled or in preterminal condition. One third had not received any previous chemotherapy. The pharmaceutical preparations of amygdalin, the dosage, and the schedule were representative of past and present Laetrile practice. No substantive benefit was observed in terms of cure, improvement or stabilization of cancer, improvement of symptoms related to cancer, or extension of life span. The hazards of amygdalin therapy were evidenced in several patients by symptoms of cyanide toxicity or by blood cyanide levels approaching the lethal range. Patients exposed to this agent should be instructed about the danger of cyanide poisoning, and their blood cyanide levels should be carefully monitored. Amygdalin (Laetrile) is a toxic drug that is not effective as a cancer treatment.
