Cancer comes from dietary imbalances (aka processed factory foods),viruses in the body from diet loaded with dead animals, lack of exercise, and bad habits like smoking.
One pill won't fix cancer. B17 is a waste of time.
It's truly amazing to me how many people show up in threads like this and make these kinds of uninformed, knee-jerk posts. Yes, you're right: one pill won't fix cancer. Fortunately G. Edward Griffin, Dr. Binzel, and most others who advocate B17 in the treatment of cancer do not make that claim. In fact, they say the opposite.
In
World Without Cancer Griffin writes:
It is plain to see that there is much yet to be learned, and no one claims that vitamin B17 is the whole answer. In addition to hyperthermy and vitamins A, B, C, and E, it is probable that an important role is played by other enzymes, other vitamins, and even pH levels. Vitamin B17 seems to be the most vital and direct-acting of all these factors, but none of them can be ignored, for they are an interlocking part of the total natural mechanism.
That was 34 years ago. More recently,
In Alive and Well, Dr. Philip Binzel explains:
[Researchers] did not proclaim Laetrile as a "miracle drug" or a "cancer cure" but merely described it as a concentrated form of nitrilosides, which was able to rapidly raise the nitriloside level and to re-establish the body's second line of defense against cancer.... these researchers stressed the point that cancer was a multiple-variable disease...
There can be a number of deficiencies within the cancer patient. This, they said, did not mean that all cancer patients had all of these deficiencies, but that any given cancer patient could have six, or eight or ten of these deficiencies. They found, for example, that zinc was the transportation mechanism for the nitrilosides. They found that you could give Laetrile until it came out of the ears of the patient, but, if that patient did not have a sufficient level of zinc, none of the Laetrile would get into the tissues of the body. They also found that nothing heals within the body without sufficient Vitamin C. They found that manganese, magnesium, selenium, Vitamin B, Vitamin A, etc., all played an important part in maintaining the body's defense mechanisms. The most important thing they stressed was that, unless you correct all of these deficiencies, you are not going to help that patient. Thus, they were talking about a total nutritional program. They were talking about a program that consisted of diet, vitamins, minerals, enzymes and Laetrile.
