American experts are convinced that a substance contained in apricot kernels can treat malignant tumors. This medicine is available to everyone, but pharmaceutical companies are in no hurry to promote it on the market: it is much more profitable to sell a host of other, more expensive and less effective medications.

We are talking about vitamin B 17: its other names are laetrile or amygdalin. The ability of this substance to treat cancer processes has been known for a long time. Now scientists accuse the pharmaceutical industry of making this drug inaccessible to people by banning its use.

Oncologist Edward Griffin confirms the fact that today in developed countries doctors can offer a lot of alternative methods of fighting oncology - both traditional and non-traditional. Such methods include treatment with vitamin B 17. But leading pharmaceutical corporations do everything to ignore such options for treatment and prevention of malignant neoplasms.

Vitamin B 17 was first isolated in the 19th century. It was used as a cancer treatment in Russian hospitals from 1845, and in America from 1920. More thorough research into amygdalin led to its recognition as a toxic substance for humans.

However, in 1950, scientists patented a chemical non-toxic form of the vitamin, which they named "laetrile." The resulting substance was approved for use in 27 American states.

But after that, the drug was subjected to a new wave of criticism: many experts declared it ineffective and even harmful to humans. Now scientists are trying to prove that in those years there was a kind of conspiracy between pharmaceutical corporations, leading doctors and the American FDA.

Scientists continue to claim that vitamin B 17 is the most powerful preventative and medicinal agent against malignant neoplasms.

Researcher John Richardson points out that amygdalin is found in large quantities in apricot kernels. The unsightly pits that are usually discarded after eating apricots are considered an excellent preventative and anti-cancer drug.

In addition to apricots, amygdalin is found in smaller amounts in hot chili peppers, button mushrooms, turmeric, plant foods, flax seeds, aloe juice, chia seeds, and even sunflower seeds.

Many world oncologists successfully practice the use of drugs based on apricot kernel extract. Most often, treatment is carried out according to the method of Mexican doctor Ernesto Contreras. This method has existed for at least three decades, so at the moment there are enough cases of positive long-term results of therapy. Correct use of the vitamin leads to regression of tumors in half of patients diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. If a malignant disease is detected in a timely manner, then in 70% of patients it is possible to stop the cancer process.
