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

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

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”

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!

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.

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.

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.
Bret (Phoenix, AZ) on 07/16/2008:
B-17 as it is now referred to, is a compound that when metabolized inside of mamalian cells, breaks down into hydrogen cyanide. Now, cancer cells have no metabolic way to deal with this compound and thusly, it is selectively toxic to cancer. Our cells can metabolize hydrogen cyanide but only up to a certain point.
By this description, B-17, has many characteristics of some chemotherapy agents, which are selectively toxic. The trick is, how much can you titrate the dose upwards until you get maximum effect without causing side affects and toxicity.
The way b-17 works, higher doses are more lethal to cancer.
So, dosing is not that scientific, as laetrile or b-17 does not fall under FDA scrutiny and the promoters of such have indeed brought lawyers and data to the court room so that laetril is not illegal.
What I do know for certain about laetril is this:
1)It can become toxic at higher doses, but its effectiveness is also dose dependant.
2)It will increase the permiability of cancer cell membranes, (Brewer,) and improve other therapies.
3)It does not have very accurate dosing parameters as there is no FDA requirements of pharmaceutical type testing and titrating.
4)It should not be used as only therapy for cancer.
5)Is a good preventative in low to moderate dosing.
Remember:
Cancer can become resistant to laetril, so I look at b-17 as an adjunct to other chemo/alternative therapies.
Laetril can be given with alkaline, vitamin c, and oxygen therapies.
Should you take laetril?
Well, when looking at clinical trials of other substances, like cesium chloride, the percentage of response for cancer cases is higher in other therapies. This doesn't mean that b-17 should be ignored. The single biggest promoter of cesium chloride, which had great response in trials, also recommends b-17 as additional adjunct to the same cesium chloride therapy.

That's because the FDA took control over it-funny how that's the only vitamin (so far) that they control. Organic apples have vitamin b-17 in the skin,but if they're not organic they don't since the chemicals non-organic farmers use kill it. But,there is hope!!! Buy apricots from any store, rinse them off well and eat them. Don't throw away the hard shell that is in the core of the apricot. Smash the hard shell open with a hammer.
Put it in a bag so it doesn't go flying everywhere,or use whatever you can use-maybe a nut cracker. Once the hard shell is broke there is a soft seed in it. Eat it. It's bitter tasting but kills cancer.
Apple seeds also have the same thing, but apricot seeds are much higher in B-17. To prevent cancer eat 14 apricot seeds every other day, or six-seven a day.
If you have cancer, well, I'd tell you to eat 50 a day!! It works. My mom had breast cancer and now she's fine and healthy because of this! No B.S
Steve (USA) on 03/01/2004:
Well, first of all,I put my mom on a 21 day juice fast. Every working hour she would drink veggie and/or fruit juice, and green tea, along with blending apricot seeds and apple seeds in the juice. While on the juice fast for 21 days, she ate apricots and their seeds / kernels,apple seeds,brown rice,green tea,flax seeds,organic sprouts(she ate them without washing the soil off), enzymes,vitamins,and ran about 2 miles 2-3 times a week. She ate about 30-50 apricot seeds a day. After the 21 day fast,she ate no meat,drank no dairy products, still drank juice with her meals-she also went on a full body cleanse. Her meals consisted of veggies, salads, apricots and clean natural foods that would fight cancer. She didn't go on chemo, but she was put on some medication by the doctor to help her out. I believe, along with the juice fast, the b-17 in the seeds cured her cancer. Her first month she went to the doctor and like 75 % of it was gone.Then,3 weeks later, about 95% of her cancer was gone. 2 1/2 weeks later it was all gone. It took about 2 months, but her cancer cells started dying after about 3 weeks or a month. She still consumes the apricot seeds every day, and juices, and eats healthy. She only eats about 7-14 a day though, not like 30 or 50 anymore, lol. No problem. I don't mind helping others.
