Is vitamin b17 a cure for cancer and why are drug companies hiding it?

User Avatar

Asked by Unknowenfatman

There is no vitamin B17. The term is inaccurately applied to laetrile, a discredited cancer drug, and amygdalin, the natural substance from which laetrile is made. Amygdalin occurs in the seeds of apricot, peaches, and almonds.

Despite the lack of proof that laetrile/amygdalin works, promoters have continued to make unwarranted claims for it, referring to it as vitamin B17 and selling it as a dietary supplement to prevent, as well as treat, cancer and claims that these compounds can prevent and treat high blood pressure and arthritis.

There is no scientific studies supporting those claims. One laetrile-related theory holds that cancer is a vitamin deficiency and that the missing vitamin is B17. To fit the accepted scientific definition of a vitamin, a substance must be proven to be essential to achieving or maintaining good health. There is no need for amygdalin or laetrile in human nutrition.

In fact, instead of helping you, it may hurt you: laetrile and amygdalin can be converted to cyanide in the body, and laetrile use has been linked to several cases of cyanide toxicity. According to the American Cancer Society (ACS) one case report suggests that vitamin C may increase the amount of cyanide released from laetrile in the body, raising this risk. In addition, the ACS warns that individuals who also eat raw almonds or crushed fruit pits while taking laetrile and those who eat fruits and vegetables that contain the enzyme beta-glucosidase (such as celery, peaches, bean sprouts, and carrots) are more likely to experience toxicity.

You don't need "vitamin B17" to prevent cancer, to treat cancer or to prevent any other health problem, and you certainly don't need it to maintain good health. ~Weil

Why Chlorhexidine is used in tootpast and mouthwashes?

User Avatar

Asked by TatvaChintangp3872

Basicaly chlorhexidine is an antibacterial used as a disinfectant and other applications. It is also used in disinfectants (disinfection of the skin and hands). Chlorhexidine is often used as an active ingredient in mouthwash designed to reduce dental plaque and oral bacteria.

Chlorhexidine lasts longer in the mouth than other mouthwashes, which is partly why it is to be preferred over other treatments for gums. So that is the reason for chlorhexidine to be used in tootpast and mouthwash.

What is pharmaceutical chemistry?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Atoms/ions can be linked together to provide desired effects as medicines. An example is how penicillin (a complex molecule) serves us by acting as an antibiotic. Chemistry is the science in which we learn how things work on an atomic level. Through chemistry we can learn if a medicine could potentially do more harm than good.

Analytical chemistry is utilized in hospitals to detect diseases from blood, CSF or urine samples. We can tell if a patient has been drinking methanol for example, which is extremely hazardous. We can monitor the intake of potentially dangerous medications as to prevent an overdose.

If you are interested in the subject I suggest you look into analytical techniques for health sciences and also potentially dangerous elements and molecules that are scanned for.

How many years do you have to sue a pharmaceutical company for health damages?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

States establish laws relating to SOL's for lawsuits therefore a specific answer is not possible without knowing the state in which the suit is to be filed. State statute of limitations also applies when a lawsuit is brought in a federal court, as does the right for the court to "toll" the SOL at either a state or federal level.
