Vitamin B17 - What is it?Any type of searching around on the internet for cancer prevention will bring up results for
vitamin B17. This usually puzzles people, because most people have never even heard of this B vitamin. Sure, everyone has heard about B vitamins—many people even routinely take a
Vitamin B Complex tablet every day that consists of the eight essential B vitamins. However,
vitamin B17 is certainly not one of those in the Vitamin B Complex; nor is it one about which most people are even aware. What is this B Vitamin?
Vitamin B17—which has a chemical name of laetrile--is basically the purified form of amygdalin. Amygdalin is a substance that is most prevalent in apricot seeds, though it is also present in some other foods. It can be ingested either through eating apricot seeds (or, in much smaller amounts, by eating other foods which contain the substance). Or, it can be taken in pill form. Tablets are typically available in either 100mg or 500mg concentrations. What is Vitamin B17 for? Laetrile, or
vitamin B17, can be used to prevent cancer. In stronger doses, people have reported that it has been quite successful in the treatment of cancer as well; however, this is not its main purpose. It is intended to be used as a
cancer prevention measure. It works by destroying all of the ‘bad’ cells that are present in your body. Scientists have proven that our bodies are continually making cancerous cells;
taking vitamin B17 (laetrile) on a regular basis can work to rid the body of those cancerous cells. How does it work? Laetrile has a dangerous component—cyanide—locked away inside. The only way that can get unlocked and come out is if the laetrile comes into contact with a cancerous cell. Cancer cells have an enzyme that unlocks that cyanide, so to speak—and the cyanide comes out and destroys the
cancer cells. When the cyanide comes out, a neutralizing substance also comes out that prevents the cyanide from harming any nearby healthy cells. By
taking vitamin B17 daily, cancer cells never have a chance to develop because the laetrile destroys them too quickly.
