Apricot Seeds & Vitamin B17: Potential in Cancer Care

Hi George,

Which apricot seeds do you eat? What brand?

thanks!

Hi George.

Have you experienced any side effects from the seeds and have you received any other treatment such as radiation or hormone suppressing drugs?

Read a “World Without Cancer” By G.E. Griffin and you will have all the answers you need on this topic. God bless and may you find a cure.

Hi George, are there any adverse effects of taking apricot seeds when you don't have cancer? Can I take them as a precaution?

What brand did you use?

Could you please inform me how many seeds would be safe to treat a dog with cancer or as a preventative measure? I understand that it is one seed per 10 lb. Could you please verify? Any advice would be welcome. Thank you for your help.

Hi Gary -

I tried this for my Husband's bladder cancer - did NOT work!!!

Hi Gary, really enjoy this site. Where do you purchase your Apricot Seeds now? We used to get them from the UK. We were informed that can not ship the ones we used to get Internationally now. Are there different grades of Apricot Seeds?

We look forward to your reply.

Regards,

David

What dosage did you use and where were the seeds from? Just for my reference. Thank you.

Hi! I'm asking a question on behalf of my friend who is battling cancer. We wondered if she could take apricot seeds while she is doing radiation (keytruda/ radiation)? Would that affect her or do any harm to her?
I'm really trying to help her with natural things even though she still pursues the medical world options.

julia s.

thank you in advance.

hi Gary, so glad to hear of your success... can you recommend a company or brand you like, please.

James Lee,

If you don't mind me asking, what stage was your bladder cancer? I have stage 1. Did you build up to the amount you're taking gradually? Thanks

I'm wondering how you take the seeds? Do you blend and add to fruit smoothies or food? Cut in half and swallow
What's the best brand and where do I get them from? X

I've diagnosed with stage 3 Oesophageal cancer, how many apricot seeds do I need to take, and how frequently?

What's a sway test? Not heard of it. I came on here looking for b17 info, and how many seeds/nuts to eat per day - can you help?

Hi, this is amazing. What stage cancer did you have? My mother has last stage cancer in her whole body. Should we try this? She is unable to intake anything as she's mostly throwing up.did

Did you use anything else along side this? Chemo? Herbs? Etc

What's a sway test?

Please tell me about your diet

What is a "sway test?"

Look at a new study on Monoclonal Antibodies here: https://www.theepochtimes.com/epochtv/100-percent-cancer-remission-of-patients-in-monoclonal-antibody-trial-facts-matter-5620254?

Also look at Fenbendazole for cancer treatment.

Break the seed open and eat the pulp. Love Andrea C xxxx

The seeds of any random apricot are not likely to be the same as the seeds of the apricots bitter apricots seeds come from. So don't use those as a substitute for the bitter apricot seeds. But if I understand the theory behind this, if we were to eat all the seeds of all the fruit we ate, we would get enough b17 to prevent cancer.

Hello Bee from New York:

You're probably referring to the cyanide content when ingesting the wrong or too much B17 content.

You need to get the bitter/raw apricot kernels. I personally use the Apricot Power brand myself. I'm only using them as maintenance & NOT as a cancer treatment.

The general rule is 1 apricot kernel per 10 pounds of body weight. For instance, I weigh 160 pounds so I take 16 kernels per day. If treating cancer, the dosage is much higher. As much as 30-35+ kernels daily for cancer sufferers.

You can also mix/add taking apricot kernel extract in capsule/tablet form as well. Doing it this way would of course decrease the amount of kernels needed daily. Some say the apricot kernels taken alone cures cancer. Others say it takes a more aggressive approach with other support nutrients/supplements like Vit C and B15(Pangamic Acid), AHCC(mushroom extract), etc. The Apricot Power brand kernels I take are very bitter. They're supposed to be that way though. This shows the laetrile content is there.

I compare the taste to Novacane used for numbing in the dental industry. I always chew mine up really well and hold under the tongue for a minute or two before swallowing. Here's a link with further details: http://www.worldwithoutcancer.org.uk/therapy-compontents/

Go to youtube and watch the documentary called " A World Without Cancer" It will explain the process to you. All fruit seeds contain a naturally occurring cyanide, but the cyanide is released only under certain circumstances. It's incredible how efficient our creator designed this planet and it's inhabitants to function dependently on one another. When you stray from the natural origin of your being, that's when trouble ensues. Such as GMO foods, toxins, man made chemicals. These things are not designed to function within the ecological system that was created. People need to wake up and think logically.

It's surprising that there is so much controversy about apricot seeds. When I was a little girl growing up on my grandparent's farm, we couldn't wait until the apricots were ripe so we could eat the nuts (seeds?) We would put them on the concrete steps and hammer them open to get to the succulent sweet nuts inside. They tasted like almonds. I'm sure that the reason they are bitter now is because of all the pesticides that farmers use. We always ate all we wanted. There was never any worry about eating too many. My grandmother would even add them to her jars of canned apricots and other fruits. When I started eating them I was about 4 years old.

Apricot Kernels: Are they or are they not good for you? I just read this article on yahoo news and it really bothers me how much natural things are supposed to be bad for you:

Australian man with cancer takes cyanide in 'herbal pills' for 5 years

Yahoo7 4 hours ago

A 67-year-old man in Australia took 3.9g cyanide every day for five years in a mixture of shop-bought and home-made apricot kernel supplements.

The man had previously had prostate cancer that was in remission. He had been taking two pills of a commercial supplement and two teaspoonfuls of a homemade apricot kernel extract known as 'ake' to prevent recurrence of the cancer, as reported in a rare case in the BMJ....

Here is the full article:

https://www.yahoo.com/news/australian-man-takes-cyanide-apos-212743936.html

It would appear that the FDA police have posted this information to throw people off track. They don't like to lose money.

There are a great many cultivars of apricots being grown and each of these varieties produce different quantities of amygdalin, from sweet, like almonds, all the way up to extremely bitter comparable to bitter almonds. One should be aware of the bitterness of their chosen kernel. Many of the "bitter" kernels being sold are really not very bitter at all. They contain very little amygdalin, and certainly not in therapeutic values. The bitter the better, as they say. Consumption should be varied accordingly.

I talk more about this on my own blog at http://www.apricot-kernels.blogspot.com

Apricot kernels (the inherent cyanide) may also induce the process of autophagy, which is the cell repair/recycling mechanism the body otherwise activates during periods of fasting. The two in combination have the potential to be very effective indeed.

We import our apricot kernels from Australia. There is an exceptional variety available there with roughly 50,000 mg of amygdalin per kilo. Be mindful of the less bitter varieties, as they're also being sold as "bitter apricot kernels", and those imported from countries such as India, Turkey and Pakistan. Many vendors are quite happy for you to believe you're purchasing a quality, local product, or they'll market their Indian or Pakistani kernels as "Hunza" or "Hunza region" in an attempt to give them credit. To put amygdalin quantities into perspective, the more bitter varieties available in North America contain approximately 15,000 mg per kilo. If you're using them for anything more than prevention, get yourself a truly bitter specimen.

I feel there is a lot of inaccuracies on above post.

Apricot kernels can indeed kill cancer cells but it cannot be any kind you will need the ‘bitter” and not the sweet variety. Best ones are the Hunza which are grown in Himalayas. “Google Hunza shangrila”

Every fruit seeds/kernels are cynagenic which is indeed cynide, but this is in very small amounts, and this is what kills cancer microbes and the reason why there is a myth re cynide poisoning. And reason why they were/are forbidden in some countries.

Google "Jason vale sent to prison for selling apricot seeds”

What type of Apricot tree is best to plant for the health benefits of the seeds? I live in zone 6.

Where do u recommend to get them?

For source of Apricot Kernels make sure you are buying Organic, raw, Bitter Apricot Kernels. If you would like to keep them for a longer time buy them still in their shell and crack them open yourself as you use them. Otherwise buy the kernels already removed from their shell and make sure they are not expired or near expiration. Keep them in refrigerator to prolong their vitality.

Usually the kernels from Turkey or Bulgaria are considered best, and they are very good, however I have used some from California as well and did not notice any differencee in the effectiveness among these three souces. I have purchased Bitter Apricot Kernels on Amazon and from Good Karma. My grandfather who lived a very healthy life until he was nearly 100 ate them nearly every day of his life.

What's your thoughts on taking apricot seeds for preventive. I have mother and both grandmothers had breast cancer... And history of heart disease.. and cholesterol... Thank you

Ronda, what a good report. Happy for you! IMO it was all 5: Pomegranate juice is also beneficial as well as Organic and low carbs since we all know that cancer feeds on sugar (carbs).

Laetrile is derived from apricot seeds, does have some cyanide in them, but so does apple seeds and peach seeds. Many other plants also contain cyanide, but usually always in small amounts. You don't hear as much about it now as you did 20 - 30 years ago, but some people are still obtaining it from underground sources. As to whether you should take it, my opinion is that God's wisdom far exceeds the big pharmaceuticals, and it is probably safer to take it, Essiac tea, Hoxsey's formula, Jason Winter's tea, oleander,or myriads of other herbal preparations than it is to take antibiotics or chemotherapy.

Classic example is that the pharmaceutical companies have been scouring herbal treatments all over this planet for the last 40 - 50 years, and probably much longer than that. If you want to check this out, just feed in poke weed (southern poke salad) and look up some of the studies that have been done on this weed. How did they know what weeds to study? By collecting folk medicine remedies (for instance the heart medicine digitalis came from the foxglove weed a home remedy plant for heart problems, and many other medications came from weeds - podophyllin for genital and chemodrug E-topocide both come from the mayapple, another chemodrug Vincristine comes from the pink periwinkle plant. The problem is that the pharmaceutical companies cannot patent the natural plant so they work on isolating the one chemical in that plant that has the effect they want, then make a synthetic version of it that they can patent and make a fortune on. Unfortunately, this removes all the failsafe chemicals in that plant, that God in his wisdom put there, which leaves a very toxic product. I have never seen it in print, but I'd be willing to bet that Viox (the arthritis drug that caused so many to have strokes and heart attacks) was an isolate from pokeweed or its poke berries. I, and most of the people I know, were raised to believe that poke berries are poison. I have been taking poke berries for 40 plus years and have gotten a lot of others taking them also, without adverse effects, because we are taking the whole berries with the built in failsafes. I also suspect that several of the later hypertensive medications came from our lowly poke weed.
