VITAMIN B-17 (Laetrile
and Amygdalin)
Cancer Cure? This vitamin cannot be ordered in the USA!
Not approved by orthodox medicine. The FDA, the AMA, and The American Cancer
Society have labeled it fraud and quackery. Vitamin
B-17, also known as Laetrile and Amygdalin is found in most fruit seeds... namely apricot
seeds. The apricot seed was claimed as the cure for all cancers over 35 years ago.
Vitamin B17 was the subject
of great controversy over 20 years ago when some of the world's top scientists claimed that
when consumed, the components of the seed make it 100% impossible to develop cancer and will
kill existing cancer in most cases. The pharmaceutical companies pounced on this claim
immediately and demanded that FDA studies be conducted. The results of these studies are
found in the book "World Without Cancer", by G. Edward Griffin. To
