Cancer and Apricot Kernals

[RowanC]

I'm not sure if this has been covered yet, but a friend in the Netherlands gave me the link to this program and I'm fascinated. WARNING: It is 52 minutes long, and seems to have been produced in the 70's but it is fascinating!

It has to do with the use of apricot kernals (raw) and insists that if you use them you will NEVER get cancer. Also, for people who are in early stages, it can heal. For those in later stages, it is an alternative to chemotherapy which allows a longer, healthier life. In my job as a CNA on an oncology floor, I never saw one person.. not ONE... walk away healed after chemotherapy. It made them deathly ill (and it made ME ill to just be around it) and weakened them. They had sores all over, raw butts from diahhrea with chemicals in it, vomiting, aching, weakness. Some may have gone home for a while, but always returned. Surgery also nearly never cured. But THIS seems to work... so well that the US government has made sale of apricot kernals a FEDERAL offense! That tells ME that the pharmaceutical companies don't want a cure for cancer... it's big business!

(NOTE: I did some internet research on this and have concluded that the sale of laetrile or apricot kernals as a treatment for cancer is prohibited/banned. However, I don't believe it is illegal to buy or sell the kernals themselves. If you do a search on apricot kernals, you'll find a lot of information.)

Anyway.. this is a particular sore spot with me. I'm buying kernals here in the Netherlands to bring home. There are also Canadian and Mexican sources. The kernals do have cyanide in them, and if you eat a handful you might die. But when eaten 4 to 6 kernals a day, can destroy any cancerous cells in your body. The film explains the chemistry of it.

One reason this therapy has not worked is that people weaken their bodies tremendously with chemotherapy and radiation, and then when their allopaths give up and tell them to go home and die, they finally try the drug from the apricot kernal. The cancer is actually destroyed by the treatment but their liver and kidneys are so weakened at that point by the chemo and radiation that they can't process the toxins and death comes anyway.

Anyway.. it's really interesting and if you have the capabilities on your computer, please watch.

I'd love to see a discussion from anyone who has tried this or knows more about it, too.

If we, for example, purchase apricots in the store would we then just eat the kernal daily? Does anything in particular have to be done with it? Does it need to be dehydrated? I plan on watching the link tonight after I finish my work shift, but I am so curious now!

last weekend I saw apricot kernals in the health food shop in Brighton, UK. The little bag was in the snack and dried fruit area, and I bought it, but if you can die with just an handful shouldn't they warn you?
Anyway, I have heard they story of apricot kernals and cancer before and I am going to try them. I am going to watch that video on the weekend, thank you!

It's the layetril in them (just like in almonds) that cures the cancer, Edgar Cayce first talked of this, to take 1 tsp of almond extract each day to cure cancer, it does work too.


apricot kernels are very much like peach kernels they are the nut inside the shell of the fruit, almonds look the same except you can't eat the fruit, they all come from the same genus

I think this is very interesting indeed.

I lvoe apricot kernels, I eat them often,and they taste very sweet when soaked, then dehydrated, yummy.

[kellibelli]

WOW! Very enlightening. I am saddened and enraged at the politics behind the cancer treatment industry, but I have to admit that this is just one more witness to the fact that God has provided us with the natural remedies to diseases simply by taking good care of ourselves and implementing the foods he has given us...and with that statement I think I am that much closer to giving up my french toast sticks from Jack in the Box...with each tidbit of information I get from the wonderful people on this website I get one step closer to 100% raw. Thanks for taking my hand and leading down the right path guys, you are true friends.

Kellibelli, I think you just crack open the apricot shell and eat the kernal. I do not believe it has to be dehydrated, although this probably would not hurt it.

Rats! I sent this before finishing it.

Anyway.... these are illegal in the US but you can buy them in Mexico, Canada, and the UK still. Not sure about ordering them.

The other thing that contains this drug naturally are the SEEDS from apples. If you eat a whole cupful of appleseeds alone, it can kill you. But if you eat say 3 apples each day, along with their seeds, you won't get cancer. You can mince the appleseeds up and put them in salads but you really need to crack the seed, even just with your teeth. Otherwise, it passes thorugh undigested.

I think the idea is to eat a few apricots AND crack the seeds for the kernals. this is apparently what the Hunzas do. But since most of us don't raise apricot trees, it's easier to buy only the kernals... and eat a few each day.

You might want to start with one the first day, then two, and work up to four. Or try eating one every few hours until you eat four. The first day, I ate five and it upset my stomach for a while. Then yesterday I had a HUGE cleansing episode. I thought I was coming down with the flu, including aching joints and headache. But today, I'm fine! So I can only think it was dead cancer cells being pushed through my liver & kidneys.

Drinking raw unfiltered applejuice along with this, or just eating some apples, will help support the liver and kidneys. Of course, we should be doing this every day anyway, right?

Ok.. those are my rambling thoughts. :D

Well, maybe they should warn you, but probably most people won't eat these like peanuts. They are very bitter little things.

Eating handsful would be like eating 65 or 70 apricots in a sitting, and heck, that might kill you too... at least the diahhrea might! roflol!

Thank you for posting this, RowanC. I've just played it and found it very inspiring and thought-provoking. Now I want to find a source of dried apricot kernels...

[RowanC]

Actually, if you have children, you'll want to keep these up out of their reach, with other dangerous things.

There are cases where children have gotten cyanide poisoning from eating apricot kernals, apparently. A child could die from eating too many, I'm sure. :( This may be one reason they are illegal in the US, I don't know.

[sport]

I throw about 6 in to my smoothie and they just dissintigrate.

[lily]

When I was searching for sources of these on the internet, I was saddened to read that the Government in the UK is warning against them. I have a horrid feeling that before we know it the same thing is going to happen to these as happened to stevia -- they're going to try and stop us getting hold of them.

Oh dear -- vested interests -- don't they just clog up the whole world -- big sigh.

But the good news is I've ordered some anyway.

Have they banned stevia in the UK.
Is this an EU thing.
I will google it.
I picked some up the last time I was in the US for hubby to put in his tea but he is slow to pick up the habit

Found this

The European Commission considered an application for its use in 1998. The data was considered by the EC Scientific Committee for Food (SCF) who indicated that the extract has the potential to produce adverse effects in the male reproductive system that could affect fertility and that steviol, a metabolite of stevioside produced by human gut microflora, damages DNA. The Committee therefore concluded that stevioside was not acceptable as a sweetener. As stevioside and other Stevia products are not listed as permitted sweeteners in the relevant regulations, it is illegal to sell them as sweeteners in the UK.

I took that completly out of context and used a small bit of the text to support an argument that the body of the text was knocking.
It is amazing what you can do with a little information.
Here is a shortcut to the entire thing.

Exactly, sport. And stevia has been safely used for centuries and even now 40% of the manufactured foods in Japan are sweetened with it.

This is sort of off the subject...or not. When I lived in Florida, I remember reading in the newspaper one day (this was ten years ago) about an elderly woman who'd been battling pancreatic cancer. She was pretty much at the end, having had surgery and chemo, and the doctors had given her 6 weeks to live and stopped treatment. Someone, I'm guessing a desperate family member, went searching for something that could hlep, and apparently, someone told her to try pine cone extract. So the woman started taking pine cone extract every day (I think she was taking a lot) and sometime later, she went to her doctor and there was no more cancer. At all.

At the time that the article was written, it was two+ years after her doctor had given her 6 weeks to live, and she was still cancer free. She'll be on the pine cone extract for the rest of her life, but she's living a life. Pretty amazing.

If you do not find them you can get them Shazzie's site and they will ship them to you. www.detoxyourworld.com

Why not eat almonds instead? Are apricot pits significantly higher in layetril than almonds? Are these the same nuts that I heard have B-17, the precursor to cyanide, that is good for cancer or is that the same thing as layetril?
