For almost forty years, Vitamin B17 has been claimed by alternative medicine experts to effectively cure and even prevent cancer. Theres a lot of controversy about Vitamin B17s efficiency, let alone its real components. What is it anyway? Vitamin B17, otherwise known as Laetrile, can be found in some fruit seeds, particularly in apricot seeds. Scientists claimed that when these seeds were taken in, it can prevent you from acquiring cancer and even heal your cancer in no time.
Because of this, there had been a lot of pharmaceutical companies which developed different kinds Vitamin B17 supplements. Until now, the United States FDA havent approved any Vitamin B17 supplement because they believe it is not a safe choice for cancer prevention and healing. Why is this so? With further studies conducted by FDA, Laetrile has been found to contain Amygdalin, a plant compound which produces cyanide.
FDA didnt approve of Vitamin B17 because of the toxic effects of cyanide it contains. Some patients who have been undergoing Laetrile treatments have shown symptoms of cyanide poisoning which include nausea and vomiting, headache, dizziness, lack of oxygen in blood which causes bluish skin color, liver damage, low blood pressure, droopy upper eyelid, damaged nerves, fever, mental confusion, coma, and even death. These dangerous symptoms are the reasons why FDA does not approve Vitamin B17 supplements.
Even if this is the case, there are still some countries which produce Laetrile supplements like Mexico. Some cancer patients have been cured from their illness totally while others have diminished tumor sizes. Vitamin B17 is a promising anticancer supplement however the dangerous symptoms attached to it still leaves the public skeptical about the product.
Before taking any supplement, always remember to consult with your doctor first to avoid any complications with your current treatment procedures. Laetrile might prove to be the answer to all cancer cases but we should still beware. Theres still the urgent need to find a sure cure for cancer, one that is not life threatening.
