Vitamin B17--The Holy Grail for Cancer Patients

From what i understand, the cyanide in the pits is bonded to other material, and in that form it is benign in the body. It takes a certain protein to separate it and that protein is found in good amounts in tumors, therefore the substance remains benign until it comes into contact with the cancer tumor itsself. Then the cyanide is released in amounts able to destroy the tumor, but not enough to cause any harm to the rest of the body.

The cyanide is bound to two sugar molecules...
...the bond is broken by all healthy cells...
...but all healthy cells also contain the enzyme rhodanese which nutralizes the free hydrogen cyanide converting it into theocyanate...
...while defective or neoplastic cell lack the enzyme rhodanese and are destroyed.

A French research team was attempting to mimic the mechanism...
...which is found naturally in 250 common foods...
...so that it could be patented...
...but they were not successful.

dont know if this is any good/ its from cancer research uk- www.cancerhelp.org.uk...

would they really say is all that if it risked them losing patients/grants.

its another one of those things i hope we dont have to find out if they work or not!

Ah, thanks troubleshooter. It had been some years since i had researched all of it, and my memory is a little rough.

Check out this film. It looks interesting. The producer, Edward Griffin, is very intelligent, credible and thinks outside the box.

Description:

G. Edward Griffin marshals the evidence that cancer is a deficiency disease - like scurvy or pellagra - aggravated by the lack of an essential food compound in modern man's diet. That substance is vitamin B17. In its purified form developed for cancer therapy, it is known as Laetrile. This story is not approved by orthodox medicine. The FDA, the AMA, and The American Cancer Society have labeled it fraud and quackery. Yet the evidence is clear that here, at last, is the final answer to the cancer riddle. Why has orthodox medicine waged war against this non-drug approach? The author contends that the answer is to be found, not in science, but in politics - and is based upon the hidden economic and power agenda of those who dominate the medical establishment. With billions of dollars spent each year on research, with other billions taken in on the sale of cancer-related drugs, and with fund-raising at an all-time high, there are now more people making a living from cancer than dying from it. If the solution should be found in a simple vitamin, this gigantic industry could be wiped out over night. The result is that the politics of cancer therapy is more complicated than the science.

Description on YouTube:

What you are about to watch does not carry the approval of organised medicine. The Food and Drug Administration, the American Cancer Society, and the American Medical Association have labelled it "fraud" and "quackery". In fact, the FDA and other agencies of government have used every means at their disposal to prevent this story from being told. They have arrested citizens for holding public meetings to tell others of their convictions on this subject. They have confiscated films and books. They even have prosecuted doctors who apply these theories in the effort to save the lives of their own patients. The purpose of this movie is to show that this great human tragedy can be stopped now entirely on the basis of existing scientific knowledge. The information you are about to watch marshals the evidence that cancer is a nutritional-deficiency disease, like scurvy or pellagra. It is not caused by a bacterium, virus or mysterious toxin, but by the absence of a substance that modern man has removed from his diet. That substance is Vitamin B-17, also known as Amygdalin or Laetrile. If that analysis is correct, then the treatment and prevention of cancer can be made simple. All that needs to be done is to restore that easily obtained and inexpensive food factor to our daily meals. An increasing number of doctors all over the world are now are testing and proving in their own clinics that the vitamin concept of cancer is true.
