Hello, greetings, and salutations, fellow medico-historico aficionados, and welcome to the latest installment of , our semi-regular foray into weird and interesting chapters in medical history. This is part two in Bad Medicine, our ongoing subseries on dubious and fraudulent cancer cures. This series is a complement to , our new exhibit developed by students in the . Last time, we looked at , a miraculous substance derived from horse blood that, while not curing cancer, led to its purveyors getting charged with over forty counts of fraud and destroyed the reputation of one prominent university vice president.
This time around, we are going to keep the dubious medicine train rolling with a look at a "cure" you might have been sent by your conspiracy-minded relative on Facebook. Hang on tight, because we are taking a look at Vitamin B17.
Vitamin B17 treatment, also known as amygdalin or laetrile treatment, is based on a semi-synthetic compound called laetrile. Laetrile is derived from amygdalin, a compound found in the pits of several nuts and fruits although most commonly associated in this context with apricots.
Amygdalin treatments date back to the 1930s; however

Long before coffee enemas and shark cartilage were touted as miracle cancer cures, there were apricot seeds. The seeds, which contain a compound called amygdalin, have a storied history, with a range of uses in countries around the world going back centuries. But amygdalin hasn’t been shown to heal cancer.

Most people agree that analyze in cells has shown that compounds in apricot seeds may help to kill cancer. But when researchers studied the effects of apricot seeds on people with cancer, they found that it didn’t help fight cancer cells or improve symptoms. Eating apricot seeds can also generate cyanide poisoning and make you very sick. This is why many researchers recommend that people with cancer stay away from apricot seeds.

“You don’t wish to take something that is not proven at all to reduce cancer and is established to have toxicity,” says Nancy Klauber-DeMore, MD, a breast cancer surgeon at the Medical University of South Carolina who studies natural products for treating cancer.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 2nd Edition. The book is in very good condition, some shelf rubbing. There is quite a lot of underlining and highlighting within the book, but the text remains very readable. 'Mr. Griffin marshals the evidence that cancer is a deficiency disease like scurvy or pellagra aggravated by the lack of an essential food compound in modem mans diet. That substance is vitamin B17. In its purified form developed for cancer therapy, it is known as Laetrile. Why has orthodox medicine waged war against this non drug approach? The author contends that the answer is to be found, not in science, but in politics and is based upon the hidden economic and power agenda of those who dominate the medical establishment. This is a new edition of the book. It is the most complete and authoritative treatise ever produced on Laetrile. It explains the theory by which Laetrile is believed to work. Case histories are included.' 368 pages. 6 x 9 inches. May require additional postage This listing was made by a small independent book shop.
