There is considerable documentation that discusses the anticancer potential of the seeds of apricots especially for its content of vitamin B 17. This vitamin has been widely used against cancer, with positive results, but considered scientifically unproven. Several documents contain statements regarding the interests of transnational pharmaceutical act against these initiatives and against others based on treatments using natural products.

The so-called vitamin B17 is known as amygdalin, laetrile or nitrile, although these compounds do not refer to a single chemical entity, it would not be strictly a vitamin. It consists of two glucose units, a unit of benzaldehyde and cyanide, which are closely linked.

It gives enough information below concerning the way act against the cancer, how consuming and other information on this subject.

Vitamin B17 is found naturally in the seeds of apricot (apricot), apple, grape, watermelon, and certain nuts, particularly almonds. I suggest that Williams and the Engineer recommended in the Book Medicinal Plants and Natural Medicine, in its first edition of which I am one of the authors, that the consumption of grape seed, in his view, it generated a real natural chemotherapy.

The apricot like fruit has several special qualities as well as their seeds.

Apricot oil that is used like sweet almond oil as a demulcent or emollient (softener hardness or tumor) of the skin. In Indochina is used as an antiseptic in respiratory disease. The seeds are used to treat cough and constipation in Chinese medicine (please note that the apricot is native to China). It has vitamin A powerful antioxidant, also improves eye diseases.

The seeds of trees of the genus Prunus, including almond, plum, peach and apricot, thus containing cyanide consumption may seem excessively risky. Special concern has been with the seed of bitter almond.

It has been discovered, as described in the literature, that the healing properties of vitamin B-17, directed against cancer, are due to the presence of water and the enzyme beta-glucosamidasa, the molecule of B-17 generates cyanide and benzaldehyde. These compounds are highly toxic individually, but working in symbiosis its effects are multiplied by a factor which is calculated makes about 100 times more potent. This enzyme, beta-glucosamidasa, is found in significant amounts in cancer cells and very little elsewhere in the body. Therefore, these toxins to kill only cancer cells. A true chemotherapy, targeted, localized and very effective.

To the question of how is that, over time, not poison the rest of the body healthy?, Has responded that another enzyme, rhodanese, identified as a “protector” of the organization (since 1965 known as the rhodanese transulfurasa thiosulfate). The rhodanese neutralizes the cyanide and transforms it into products that are not only not toxic, but which result in beneficial nutrients for the body. This enzyme is abundant throughout the body, but not in cancer cells is, therefore, have no protection or defense.

So it has come to recommend consumption of apricot seeds for those with cancer.

Recommended dose

For those who have cancer would be very important to eat seeds, which should be chewed slowly, whichever keep in the mouth until it liquefies. It is recommended as an ideal eating two seeds, or pips per hour during the day. The best results were observed with consumption of three to five seeds each hour of normal daytime activity.

Vitamin B 17 is water soluble (dissolves in water) and non-toxic. Some people experience some nausea when you eat a lot at once, similarly to as it would if they drank large amounts of salt water. In this case, reduces the amount that is taken every time, but the frequency increased.

Dose: Who does not have cancer can take seven to ten pips a day. Dr. Krebs asserts that, even if somewhat bitter, it is best to eat the seed (the seed) natural, whole

How quickly cure cancer? The cancer cells start to die immediately. In some cases, such as bone cancer, it would take a little longer to absorb the vitamin in the deeper tissues of the body. Skin cancers are relieved quickly. At the end of the first week and may see significant improvements in many cases could be achieved complete regression of tumors within three weeks or less. A carcinoma may take some months to disappear, and cervical cancers has been to have disappeared in less than three weeks.
