Is there a seed that cures cancer?

Answer 1

Amygdalin is sometimes confused with laevomandelonitrile, also called laetrile for short; however, amygdalin and laetrile are different chemical compounds. Laetrile, which was patented in the United States, is a semi-synthetic molecule sharing part of the amygdalin structure, while the "laetrile" made in Mexico is usually amygdalin, the natural product obtained from crushed apricot pits, or neoamygdalin.

Laetrile has a melting point of 214 to 216 degrees Celsius. Its Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number is 1332-94-1 and its International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry nomenclature name is (2S,3S,4S,5R,6R)-6-[(R)-cyano(phenyl)methoxy]-3,4,5-trihydroxyoxane-2-carboxylic acid. Laetrile's chemical formula is C14H15NO7 and its PubChem number is 5484354. Its molecular weight is 309.2714 grams/mole. Laetrile is also classified as a cyanogenic glycoside.

Though it is sometimes sold as "Vitamin B17", it is not a vitamin. Amygdalin/laetrile was claimed to be a vitamin by chemist Ernst T. Krebs in the hope that if classified as a nutritional supplement it would escape the federal legislation regarding the marketing of drugs. He could also capitalise on the public fad for vitamins at that time.

A 2011 systematic review from the Cochrane Collaboration found:

"The claims that laetrile or amygdalin have beneficial effects for cancer patients are not currently supported by sound clinical data. There is a considerable risk of serious adverse effects from cyanide poisoning after laetrile or amygdalin, especially after oral ingestion. The risk-benefit balance of laetrile or amygdalin as a treatment for cancer is therefore unambiguously negative."

Yes. Apricot seeds have the highest amount of vitamin B-17 out of any fruit seeds. The B-17, also known as "amygdalin" or "laetrile", The B17 contains cyanide which only gets released into the malignant cancer cells. This therefore destroys the cancer cell.

Cancer is increasing in people everyday, so it seems that it is human made. If you eat an apple, leave it out, it turns brown right? So if you cut if off it turns white, but then it will turn brown again. Same thing with cancer, chemo and radiation get rid of the tumor but that is not the problem, that is the cause of the problem. In order to attack the problem youre going to have to eat right, exercise, and supplement with B17.
