Some sources say you can eat all you want at one sitting, others caution that no more than 3-4 seeds/kernels at one time. Either way, make sure to get the organic bitter tasting ones for the best potency.

After a couple of years of taking this, I have had no ill effects from eating 10-12 seeds/kernels of the bitter organic apricot seeds at each sitting. Sometimes daily, sometimes just a time or two per week.

I buy the 2 lb. bags in the resealable pouch and they last me 6 months. So far, so good!

The saying an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Was really the seeds and not the apple?

That world is here. Brandon cured cancer.

Thanks for this. Amygdalin.

I handn't heard of this and did a little online research.

A few years ago, I'd have swallowed the standard line that this is a harmful product based on the scientific literature.

However, knowing what I know now about the state of research papers and medical studies, I'm inclined to at least give Laetril/B17 the benefit of the doubt. I'm actually kind of surprised how little rigorous study has been conducted - most of the recent studies are basically searches of the existing literature, which (surprise!) didn't find any benefit (from a substance that the SC had to ban to stop it's use in the US)

There's basically only one study with 178 people from 1982 that appears designed to quash any dissent about the 1977 ban. I'm skeptical.

But I don't know anyone who has used it successfully. I'd certainly try it if I was diagnosed. I may give it a try anyway as cancer seems to run on my Dad's side of the family. A few fruit/nut seeds couldn't really hurt I would think.

I wonder who arbitrarily named it B-17, and why.

Kent Hovind introduced me to this about 20 years ago.

To add my tuppence worth, if you detach yourself from Google, which suppresses so much alternative medical advice and political information, switch to Yandex.com and you will be shocked to see what is being hidden.

Thanks!
