I was talking about the study on apricot seeds In Memorial Sloan long time ago that suppose to prove if apricot seeds have anticancer properties or not.
Laetrile (aka vitamin B17, or amygdalin) is indeed derived from apricot seeds.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amygdalin
The wikipedia page on it is a good primer. The initial studies at MSKCC were done in mice not humans. I'm personally allergic to the conspiracy theories that have grown up around laetrile, regarding the suppression of scientific information. In my opinion there is no solid proof of the efficacy of laetrile, and especially not in humans.
We do believe in the conspiracy theories. We are only unsure if the laetrile/amygdalin passes the BBB. A Prof. in Germany told us that small of laetrile amounts DO pass the BBB.
My dad is taking laetrile infusions. There are a lot of books written with beautiful case histories (Richardson clinic etc)
Since My dads diagnosis he took a lot of it the laetrile, first 2 weeks he took like 100 real apricot kelners a day. After that he got infusions 20 ml 3 times a week. Now we are doing 1 x 20 ml a week. In total he got about 180 ml over a period of a couple months. On the off-days he takes 2x500 mg b17 pills.
On the internet and on Sloan Kettering they just try to scare you with 'cyanide poisoning', that isn't even possible. My dad never experienced any sideeffects. And at first he even felt better after the injection.
There are a lot of books written, and if you google Sugiura, one of the most respected cancer researchers from the Sloan Kettering clinic, he did a study over and over again but they didn't want to publish his positive findings, instead he got fired. http://www.whale.to/cancer/sugiura_h.html
In My opinion laetrile can be valuable and is worth a try.
I assume you're talking about laetrile?
