Has anyone heard of vitamin B17?

Has anyone ever heard of vitamin B17.  Google it, but watch out for the quakes!
My sister is taking apricots kernals daily, B17 is suppose to attack cancer cells.  I don't know if it's working, but it sure has helped her diabetes!

In Mexico the constituent Laetrile (contains benzaldehyde) is used in cancer therapy. The belief in this highly controversial therapy is that the laetrile breaks down into several compounds (including cyanide) which acts on a tumor material, but not healthy cells.  
This laetrile is made from apricot kernals. I knew a gal that had OVCA and tired of all the treatment (chemo) went to Mexico and tried this therapy. She lived for about another year after this treatment.... I also believe that this was the treatment that Steve McQueen tried to save his life years ago...
