I would be interested to know if anyone else has heard of vitamin B17 and its supposed ability to prevent cancer. There is even a book about it called 'world without cancer' but I haven't read it. I have heard though, that the book claims that cancer is a huge industry and many companies are making massive profits from it (drugs and hospital equipment probably), and that this is the reason why the research into B17 is being stifled. For some reason any multivitamin you buy won't contain B17. This is the website

World Without Cancer - worldwithoutcancer.org.uk - B17 Laetrile Vitamin B-17

The following is from the site:

Vitamin B-17 is one of the main sources of food in cultures such as the Eskimos, the Hunzas, the Abkasians and many more. Did you know that within these tribes there has never been a reported case of cancer? According to Dr. Krebs, we need a minimum of 100 mg of vitamin B-17 (the equivalent of about seven apricots seeds) too nearly guarantee a cancer free life. Foods that contain vitamin B-17 are as follows:

* KERNELS OR SEEDS OF FRUIT: The highest concentration of vitamin B-17 to be found in nature, aside from bitter almonds. Apple, apricot, cherry, nectarine, peach, pear, plum, prune.
* BEANS: broad (Vicia faba), burma, chickpeas, lentils (sprouted), lima, mung (sprouted), Rangoon, scarlet runner.
* NUTS: Bitter almond, macadamia, cashew.
* BERRIES: Almost all wild berries. Blackberry, chokeberry, Christmas berry, cranberry, elderberry, raspberry, strawberry.
* SEEDS: Chia, flax, sesame.
* GRASSES: Acacia, alfalfa (sprouted), aquatic, Johnson, milkweed, Sudan, minus, wheat grass, white dover.
* GRAINS: oat groats, barley, brown rice, buckwheat groats, chia, flax, millet, rye, vetch, wheat berries.
* MISCELLANEOUS: bamboo shoots, fuschia plant, sorghum, wild hydrangea, yew tree (needles, fresh leaves).

Someone could possibly benefit from this info which is why I am posting it although I'm not 100% sure of its accuracy. Anyone heard of this before or have any thoughts on the matter?
