The B17 Bomber

By: Frank Picarelli

No, we’re not talking about the Airplane of WWII fame, but hopefully the Vitamin of 21^st century fame.  A famous vitamin? Famous for what?  B-17 has been recognized for its ability to bomb cancer.  That’s right cancer!

Vitamin B-17 (Nitriloside, amygdaline) is a group of water- soluble essentially non-toxic sugary compounds found in over 800 plants.  Many sources are edible and available right at your local Supermarket.  Known collectively as Beta Cyanophoric glycosides, these compounds make up molecules containing sugar, Hydrogen cyanide, a benzene ring, or acetone. The intact molecule is for all practical purposes completely non-toxic. (So don’t let the names scare you)

The B-17 component Laetrile was discovered and studied by Ernst Krebs, the leading authority on relationships between cancer and Nitrilosides.   Apricot kernels are the richest source of vitamin B-17(Laetrile).  The Apricot kernel is a nut-like seed found inside the pit or stone of the fruit. This little seed has proven to be a very potent form of cancer prevention, and even thought to cure the disease in its less advanced cases.  Other good sources of this B-17 bomber are peach, nectarine, apple, and orange seeds, some types of beans and grasses including wheatgrass.  The taste of some of these sources may be bitter at first taste, so be tough, the benefit outweighs the flavor. 

The nitriloside compounds found in these seeds attack only mutated cells or cell groups (cancer).  They bomb the mutated cells while remaining inert and harmless to healthy cells in the rest of the body.  Guerilla warfare against cancer!  Some experts suggest that a B-17 deficiency in the body increases risk of cancer in the same way that a vitamin C deficiency can lead to scurvy.  If this is true, knowing possible ways of preventing the disease is perhaps the first step toward a cure.

A case study of the Hunza tribe of northern Pakistan, the Abkhazians and the Navajo Indians reveals no reported cases of cancer within these Tribes.  These Tribes have one thing in common; their food staples include a variety of the seeds and legumes that contain Vitamin B-17(Nitriloside).

The medical and pharmaceutical industries dismiss this finding as coincidence.

I would encourage you to do some research on your own and explore beyond what we are told by the medical and pharmaceutical industry.

You owe it to yourself, and your loved ones to consider ALL of your options.

Best in Health,
