apricot seeds

[mickyeggs]

i've read a lot lately about the wonders of apricot seeds. that they can cure, not treat, but cure cancer, COPD heart ailments and more.
   is there any truth to this?
   can eating dried apricots be as beneficial as just eating seeds

Vitamin B17, also known as Laetrile and Amygdaline, is found in most fruit seeds. Apricot seeds are one of the best sources. The FDA banned vitamin B17 in the 1980's when the book "World Without Cancer - The Story Of Vitamin B17" by G. Edward Griffin was published . Make of that what you will.

It's the kernels that are the medicinal substance.  Whether it works or not, no good evidence behind but some anecdotal stuff.  You might try looking at the American Biologics website -- they used to sell the kernels in bulk, and used to use them in their practice.
