    Vitamin B-17, commonly known as "Amygdalin”, is a plant substance found naturally in raw nuts and the pips of many fruits, particularly apricot pips, or kernels. It is also present in plants such as lima beans, clover and sorghum. Laetrile, on the other hand, is a partly man made (synthetic) form of the natural substance Amygdalin. The greatest concentration is found in the seeds of the rosaceous fruits, such as apricot kernels and other bitter nuts. There are many seeds, cereals and vegetables containing minimal quantities of vitamin B17 and form part of our daily diet. There has been no negative claims due to inadequate nutrient intake but there has been noted side effects caused by excessive amount of the said nutrient in the body. Throughout the years, there’s still no scientific evidence to support claims that laetrile or amygdalin can treat cancer or any other illness, it has been promoted as an alternative cancer treatment. As of today, Laetrile (B-17) is the considered a chief anti-tumor agent. It’s been used on Metabolic therapy, a non-toxic cancer treatment based on the use of Vitamin B- 17, proteolyticpancreatic enzymes, immuno-stimulants, and vitamin and mineral supplements.…
