cancer: this is to my friends that keep looking for the answers.

please google: Laetrile!! guess what it is in peach pits, yes peach kernels. OOOhh B17 well,,, you need to check this out for your self. There is plenty of things all the way back to 1971.

 

Here is a little I copied for you but you must do the work. Look it up check it out you deside. Amygdalin (Laetrile) History and Actions

Amygdalin is a herbal constituent derived from the kernels of various fruits of the Genus Prunus (synonym amygdalus) which includes the plum, prune, cherry, peach and apricot. It is among the most ancient herbal products used against cancer. Apricot kernels have been in medical use since the days of Pen T'sao (a great Chinese herbalist) in the year 2800 BCE (before common era) in ancient China. Also, the great Persian master of pharmacy, medicine and natural sciences, Avicenna (980-1037) recommended the use of apricot bitter almond oil in the treatment of tumors of the spleen, uterus, stomach and liver. Amygdalin is one of the first and best known cyanogenic glycosides. The systematized study of amygdalin did not really begin until the first half of the past century when crystalline amygdalin was isolated in 1830 by two French chemists, Robiquet and Boutron. Now known as Prunus Amygdalus, of the rose family Rosaceae, amygdalin is hence appropriately named after the scientific name of the bitter almond. The chemical structure of amygdalin is well established as laevo-D-mandelonitrile-B-D-glucoside-6-B-D-glucoside. Essentially, it is a diglucoside with a cyanide radical. Laetrile is a decomposition product resulting from the hydrolysis of amygdalin. Neither amygdalin nor Laetrile contain free cyanide. Laetrile formula is laevo-D-mandelonitrile-B-glucoronide. The term Laetrile was first proposed by Ernest T. Krebs, Jr., in 1949.

The word is derived from the contraction of the chemical term LAE vo-mandeloni TRILE. Krebs also designated Laetrile as vitamin B17. Krebs contended that amygdalin is essential to human health. The amygdalin (Laetrile) therapy utilizes the cyanogenic glycoside amygdalin or one of it's byproducts together with a broad-based nutritional program known as Metabolic Therapy for the control of cancer. Krebs, Jr. and his research group found that amygdalin has it's powerful cancer killer capabilities because it contains cyanide that destroys cancer cells. Not all cyanide compounds are poisonous. Humans constantly eat produce with cyanide--about 1,200 kinds of foods have it. Detoxification of cyanide can take place in all tissues of the body, but principally in the liver. The dosage levels and toxicity of amygdalin (Laetrile) in laboratory animals and humans is well established and documented. No evidence of acute or accumulative toxicity was observed in any animals given doses in excess of 100 times the maximum intravenous dose usually given in humans.

These findings coincide with that mentioned by Otto Jacobsen in 1887, Davidson in 1944 and Dr. Dean Burk (National Cancer Institute) in 1968: "Amygdalin is impressively nontoxic from the pharmacological point of view" and "nonhydrolyzed amygdalin is less toxic than glucose." The oral toxicity of amygdalin was found to be 39 to 44 times greater than the intramuscular route, and more toxic than intravenous route (parentenal route). Amygdalin is less tolerable by oral administration because of the hydrolysis of amygdalin by the gastric juices. On the other hand, amygdalin, in dosages of 20-40/mg/kg orally (for a 200 lb human this would translate to 16 - 500mg laetrile/B17 tablets daily) used in humans is 10 to 20 times less than the minimum toxic dosage in dogs. The biological half-life of amygdalin is only 80 minutes. Over 80% of the amygdalin administered is excreted from the body in 4 hours. The usual metabolic approach to amygdalin (Laetrile) therapy is to provide the patient with adequate nutritional support, with relatively nontoxic high doses of vitamins and minerals and other active natural substances. Amygdalin (Laetrile) has been administered in dosages of up to 70 grams (70,000 mg) per day in adult humans by combined oral and parenteral routes without adverse effects.

Amygdalin's Action Mechanisms (Krebs Hypothesis)

The most widespread theory ("cyanide theory") on the action of amygdalin was propounded by Ernest Krebs, Jr., in the seventies. Kreb's hypothesis is the resulting end products of the hydrolysis of amygdalin are the hydrocyanic acid (HCN) and benzaldehyde. In order to produce these products, B-glucuronidase is required. It has been demonstrated that this enzyme is present in cancerous tissue about 1,000 to 3,600 times higher than in normal tissue. Rhodenase is an enzyme found in the liver cell and is known to be concerned with the conversion of toxic hydrocyanic acid to thiocyanate, a harmless substance. Rhodenase is part of the normal detoxification process of the body. However, it was found that normal cells contain a relatively high concentration of rhodenase and low concentration of B-gluco-ronidase, whereas cancerous cells are high in available B-glucoronidase and low in available rhodenase.

Thus, the normal cellular protective mechanism is decreased in tumor cells and they become more sensitive to the effects of the cyanide ion. The HCN would tend to depress the enzyme functions of the cancer cell and thereby destroy it. Since normal cells contain large quantities of rhodenase and relatively low quantities of available B-glucoronidase, the available rhodenase would detoxify the cyanide ion (CN-) forming the non-toxic thiocyanate. Then according to Ernest Krebs amygdalin's toxic effect is against the cancerous cell and not the host.

The Effectiveness Of Amygdalin (Laetrile) In Cancer

Ever since the days of Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) and Paul Ehrlich (1854-1915), cancer victims have hoped for the "wonder vaccine" or the "magic bullet." Amygdalin (Laetrile) does not come under the heading of either of these dramatic therapies. There are a number of factors that enter into the cancer treatment complex. The type of cancer involved is an important factor. Some types of cancer tend to be more sensitive to treatment than others. Amygdalin (Laetrile) is not equally effective in all types of cancers. Rubin (1977) found in their clinical investigations in Israel that amygdalin (Laetrile) was most effective against adenocarcinoma and Hodgkin's disease, somewhat less effective in certain other of the sarcomas and melanomas , and relatively poor results were achieved with the leukemia. Similar results have been obtained by other clinicians in the United States and elsewhere. The best results with amygdalin (Laetrile) therapy have been achieved with lung, prostate, breast, lymphomas, liver and brain cancer. The chemical quality of the amygdalin (Laetrile) also has a bearing on the clinical therapeutic results.

Only the laevo isomer of amydalin (Laetrile) has been found to be therapeutically active. A high quality amygdalin is now produced in Mexico and some products are currently under investigation in the United States and Germany. It is therefore of the utmost importance that quality products be utilized. Failure to recognize this point can result in inadequate dosage levels and false negative therapeutic results (Krible, 1912; Levi, et al, 1965; Rubin, 1978). Other factors relating directly to the administration of amygdalin (Laetrile) concern the dosage. In the past, most physicians have tended toward administering too low a dosage. Therefore the frequency of administration, the route of administration, and the dosage are of the utmost importance if adequate blood levels are to be maintained. In the past, most errors of administration have been made on the side of too little, rather than too much. However, it should be kept in mind that the most effective routes are by parenteral injection (IM or IV) and the physician should not attempt to achieve the necessary dosage levels by the oral route. Rubin (1978) reports administering 70 grams per day to each patient with no ill effects. Another aspect that will have a bearing on the recovery of a patient depends upon the degree of tissue damage caused by excessive radiation and toxicity resulting from chemotherapy.

It is presently estimated in the United States, Mexico, and elsewhere, that about 90% or more of the patients begin using amygdalin (Laetrile) only after all other types of cancer therapies have failed. Most metabolic physicians are of the opinion that if the patient were to begin Metabolic Therapy earlier in the course of the disease, it would improve the patient's chances of cancer control. The adequacy of liver functions is of the utmost importance in cancer therapy. The liver has varied, intricate and extremely complex metabolic functions. Among other things the liver is concerned with fat, carbohydrate and protein metabolism.

The liver has a propensity for storing vitamins, especially A, D, B-12 , and iron in the form of ferritin. The liver forms a large proportion of the blood constituents: fibrinogen, prothrombin, accelerator globulin, Factor VII, and other coagulation factors. The liver is involved in vitamin K metabolism. The liver is concerned with the vascular storage and filtration of blood, with about 1000 ml of blood flowing from the portal vein through the liver sinusoids each minute and an additional 400 ml flows into the sinusoid from the hepatic artery. Thus, when the liver or kidneys are damaged due to a primary or metastatic malignancy, it may adversely affect the entire metabolism of the body.

The studies conducted thus far on amygdalin (Laetrile) indicate that there is no damage to the liver or kidney function. Much of the effort of metabolic therapy is dedicated toward sustaining adequate liver and kidney functions and to attempt to minimize the detoxification load placed upon them. It should be emphasized that amygdalin (Laetrile) therapy is most effective when used in conjunction with a comprehensive METABOLIC approach. Most physicians using this form of therapy provide adequate nutritional support with the use of proper vitamin and mineral supplements. The patient is placed on a complete vegetarian diet with a reduction of proteins, fats, refined sugars, and processed foods. All tobacco, alcohol, caffeinated drinks, and most toxic medications are eliminated. The patient is placed on a high intake of select fruit juices, fresh fruits and vegetables. A program of detoxification is required. A minimum of 9 gr of amygdalin (Laetrile) per day is administered, largely by the parenteral route, but even higher levels may be given if indicated. Patients that refuse to follow the general Metabolic Program are discouraged from taking amygdalin (Laetrile).

Alternative Forms Of Cancer Treatments

There are probably as many different forms of cancer therapy as there are types of cancer. There are cancerous conditions which require surgery, radiation and/or chemotherapy. There are certain types of cancer and certain stages in the development of the cancer that respond well to one or more modalities. Significant success has been obtained in the treatment of Hodgkin's disease, some leukemias, and certain other types of cancers. The patient is advised to consult with a physician and seek the best medical advice available. Most skin cancers can be readily treated with conventional methods of therapy if instituted early enough. However, the most common type of internal cancer is adenocarcinoma (involving the breast, intestinal tract, lung, etc.). When an adenocarcinoma and certain of the sarcomas undergo metastases, most conventional therapy is ineffective and the prognosis of the patient is poor when using conventional therapies. The patient is then left with the dilemma of "where do I go from here?"

These cases should be encouraged to try amygdalin (Laetrile) therapy. If the cancer victim is trying to decide how to proceed, whether to stay with conventional therapy or the Life Without Cancer amygdalin (Laetrile) therapy the following procedure is recommended. The patient should determine from his physician the type of cancer with which he is afflicted and then visit the cancer ward at any major medical center in the United States. Most patients will find it very educational to visit a high-class conventional cancer ward, subsidized by the National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society, and check with the doctors, nurses and patients and see for themselves just how many "terminal cancer victims" actually survive the ordeal.

The fact that the wealthiest persons, most influential politicians, brightest Hollywood stars, highly educated persons, and skilled orthodox physicians are dying of metastatic malignancies should be suitable commentary as to the efficacy of conventional therapy. The studies made in 1977, indicate that persons that combine amygdalin (Laetrile) with conventional chemotherapy are able to tolerate higher doses of toxic chemotherapeutic agents with far less side effects. Interestingly enough, this synergism is characteristic of adaptogenic agents.

What Of The Future?

Here is the forecast based on the evidence currently on hand:

a) Clinical trials on amygdalin (Laetrile) therapy using good quality amygdalin will continue to be conducted in the proper manner.

b) Amygdalin (Laetrile) will be legalized in the United States with or without the cooperation of the FDA at some point in the future.

c) The atrocities now being committed in the name of orthodox medicine, the suppression of life-giving scientific data, the needless loss of lives, mutilation of bodies, and excessive suffering, all for the financial benefit of a ruthlessly powerful medical cartel which is flagrantly in violation of the antitrust laws of this country, will not continue to be tolerated by the American people.

Ultimately, these criminals and their political lackeys will be brought to trial and they will find themselves responsive to the American people.

The following is one of the greatest rights ever given to a people:(from the 14th amendment of the constitution of the United States of America. 1868)

"NO STATE SHALL MAKE OR ENFORCE ANY LAW WHICH SHALL ABRIDGE THE PRIVILEGES OR IMMUNITIES OF CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES: NOR SHALL ANY STATE DEPRIVE ANY PERSON OF LIFE, LIBERTY, OR PROPERTY, WITHOUT DUE PROCESS OF LAW, NOR DENY TO ANY PERSON WITHIN ITS JURISDICTION THE EQUAL PROTECTION OF THE LAWS."If cancer patients could effectively be treated for so much less money - why hasn't it been done?

"Everybody should know that the 'war on cancer' is largely a fraud, and that the NCI and the ACS are derelict in their duties to the American people who support them." - Linus Pauling, 2-time Nobel Prize winner
