Apricot Seeds & Vitamin B17: Potential in Cancer Care

In an elderly grandmother aged 89 years who is also a relative of mine with Bladder cancer not responding well to medicines, the inclusion of 2 apricot seeds/day has not only reduced the tumor size by 40% but has also prevented its spread Besides Vitamin D levels and protein levels were corrected by supplements and tablets as also homeopathic medicines were used to achieve the positivr results It is advisable to undertake anti-cancer treatment with natural or herbal medicines along with Apricot seeds to have a synergistic curative effect rather, than standalone treatment regimen

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

I sprinkle 12 apricot seeds on my cereal for breakfast and another 12 on my salad at lunch. They just add a little crunch to my food and I don't even taste the bitterness. I've been eating 24 seeds a day for over 6 years and my prostate cancer has shrunk to nothing. I keep eating them to prevent cancer.

I just throw them in my mouth and chew them up. Then drink lots of water, because they don't taste that great!

Hi Betty,

I just eat the apricot seeds like peanuts. Usually 6-8 seeds twice a day. I go through 1 bag, stop for 1 week then buy another bag. They really work, got rid of my bladder cancer..

Take care

Gary

Apricot seeds have to be raw and bitter. Does not work for everybody.

Take apricot seeds and stop eating sugar and carbs. Cured my stomach, pancreas, gallbladder, liver, and breast cancer.

Do a sway test to see how many raw apricot seeds you should take and how frequently during the day.

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”

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 Seeds for Cancer

If you buy the brand name Apricot Power from either Amazon or their own website these are softer kernels and can be eaten rather easily instead of being ground up. I say this unless you have a mouth/teeth problem that makes it harder for you to chew. These are also non-GMO kernels as well.

God Bless and good health to you!

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.

You can find apricot seeds at most Chinese herbal store or supermarket for very cheap.

Based on more than 30 years of research on this topic I feel confident in asserting the role of 'B-17' or hydrocyanic acid (HCN) is directly related to the digestive enzymes in the system as well as in the gut.

At best, we believe, HCN (B-17), will act like a cytostatic or slowing down the aerobic phase of a cancer cell system. However, the anaerobic phase will then ensue, and the system has already reduced any benzaldehyde present from the whole nitriloside into benzoic acid. However, in the cancer tumor system limb or zone of greatest activity HCN will not be readily detoxified into thiocyanate, but will act as an enzyme reactivator for those hydrolases that digest cancer cells (trophoblasts). The primary protease inhibitor of the cancer system is hCG (human chorionic gonadotrophin).

HCN has long been known to act upon some serine enzymes as an activator and accelerator. In fact even the detoxified or transulferased form: thiocyanate can act as an accelerator and reactivator though not to the same degree as free HCN. Most often cancer patients die not to the incursions of the cancer cells so much as the effect of hCG on the digestive enzymes in the blood stream and eventually in the pancreas so that these enzymes being deactivated vastly impact both immunity and nutrition. The patient dies of pneumonia for example or 'cachexia' or starvation.

This is why it is so important for cancer sufferers to have lots of raw, red meat or other protein predigested or a supply of complete amino acids (not soya) or supplemental enzymes. This amounts to 'tenderizing meats' or supplying something akin to mother's milk. Then the system can synthesize the missing or inhibited enzymes. B-17 works as a CO-ENZYME. If the enzymes are insufficient to the work before them, HCN or B-17 has nothing to work on.

And as we believe: it is not a stand-alone 'chemotherapy'. It is not terminally toxic (cytoxin) magic bullet. Look up a paper by Mendell and Blood on this and you'll see for yourself:

HCN is the simplest known vitamin. As such it works in conjunction to digestion both in the blood and the gut.

Our 21 year old daughter was diagnosed 2 1/2 weeks ago with cervical cancer. The same day we put her on 15 crushed apricot seeds in applesauce, along with 3 tsp of ACV in organic pomegranate juice.

She did this everyday-had a follow up at the Dr. this week they performed a microscopic some sorta test scraped the cervix and took samples. The Dr. called with the tests today---NEGATIVE---he said the cervix looked fantastic

Was it because of the apricots & ACV??? I sure hope so--by the way, she also only ate organic food-no red meat, sugar or white flour.

For preventative measure, I take 100mg.daily of B-17 Amygdalin Laetrile in tablet form. For a good source: metabolicproductssupply.com/index.htm
