How To Obtain Laetrile Or Vitamin B17

There are sources of laetrile (Vitamin B17) pills. However, most people take laetrile (Vitamin B17) in the form of apricot kernels. In the middle of a peach or apricot is a hard shell. If we break open the hard shell with a "nut cracker," pliers or hammer, we will find a small seed/kernel in the middle that looks like an almond. However, it is much softer than an almond and certainly does not taste like an almond. It is this seed that is rich in natural laetrile (Vitamin B17).

Most experts will recommend a daily dose of apricot kernels from between 24 kernels a day up to 40 kernels a day, spread throughout the day. For a person in remission, 16 apricot kernals a day should be used as a minimum. Other things rich in laetrile are millet grain and buckwheat grain. Breads made with these grains, however, generally do not contain a high percentage of millet or buckwheat or else they would be too hard.

Also, the seeds of berry plants, such as red raspberries and black raspberries are rich in laetrile (Vitamin B17). Red raspberries also have a second cancer killer in their seeds: Ellagic Acid, a phenolic. About four dozen foods have Ellagic Acid, but Red Raspberries have the highest concentration. Strawberries also have Ellagic Acid.

Of course, apricot kernels are the best source of laetrile (Vitamin B17). Those who do not yet have cancer might want to plant a few apricot or peach trees in their back yard for a long term source of laetrile (Vitamin B17). The kernels can be frozen while still in the shell.

The Dr. Philip Binzel list of foods that contain laetrile (Vitamin B17) include: apricot kernels, peach kernels, grape seeds, blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, bean sprouts, lima beans and macadamia nuts (to name but a few).
