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:

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.

A friend of mine is also on Keytruda and doing well. I also am wondering if there are any side effects of eating the Apricot seeds while on Keytruda?? My friend absolutely will not go for it unless he is certain it won't interfere with Keytruda. He won't do anything without his doctor okaying it. I may not be able to change his mind about doctors but maybe I can help him get well by just eating the seeds. If I can convince him that it won't interfere with Keytruda then I know he'll do it. Has anyone been eating the seeds while on Keytruda??

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 would think you would grind them up.
I have heard of people taking capsule form (expensive to buy).

You said to take a sway test to determine how many apricot kernels to eat. What is that?

Can you please tell me where I can get specifics for the budwig protocol you used? Dosage info, ingredients and where to get the REAL potent ingredients? Dealing with Tall cell thyroid cancer (very poor prognosis, fatal) & double mastectomy for breast cancer (both cancers were critical surgeries a few weeks apart (as soon as I could go under the knife again) cancers were removed and radiation & chemo not begun yet (*testing now for colon cancer as well).... I am desperate, can't find a source for REAL bitter apricot kernels or fenbendazole protocol because I know when I've used it on our animals growing up that you have to do it repeatedly for several cycles to kill ALL the parasites because it killed the adults then you have to keep going at intervals to get all the hatching eggs!! I would greatly appreciate any info you will share with no expectations or "cure claims" attached.. solely for "research" info

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

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).

Nope, just eat them out of the bag. 5-10 a day keeps the cancer away for me. In order to treat my cancer I ate between 20-30/day with meals, at first 15, then 10 with each meal.
