B17 Treatment for Cancer (Laetrile Therapy)

How Vitamin B17 Treatment (Laetrile Therapy) Works

Also known as amygdalin, B17 is a compound most commonly found in the seeds or pits of fruits, including apples, apricots, plums, and red cherries, as well as in bitter almonds. Purified, partly synthetic forms of amygdalin known as laetrile have been used in alternative cancer treatment varieties since the 1800s. Purified amygdalin is converted into hydrogen cyanide in the body, and hydrogen cyanide is believed to kill cancer cells. Studies have found that laetrile cancer therapy may inhibit the growth of primary tumors, prevent metastasis, and encourage cancer cell death due to its toxicity. Benzaldehyde, a product of amygdalin when it’s broken down in the body, has also been studied for its potential anticancer activity.

How Vitamin B17 (Laetrile Therapy) is Administered

Laetrile treatment can be given by intravenous injection or through muscle tissue (intramuscularly). With most forms of B17 treatment for cancer, the vitamin is first administered intravenously and then given orally as a form of maintenance therapy. Laetrile therapy is most often combined with a metabolic therapy program, which may include a high dose of vitamins, a special diet, and pancreatic enzymes. The exact dosage of vitamin B17 can vary based on several factors, including the severity of the Cancer, the Cancer patient’s personal health, and the patient’s response to alternative therapy.
