Vitamin B17 - The Cancer Preventing Vitamin
Vitamin B17 has long been under debate in America. Banned from research in 1977, it was discovered that this vitamin produces a type of cyanide in the body. According to previous research done, prior to this ban, the cyanide that vitamin B17 produces, only affects cancerous cells. This is due largely in part to the fact that yet another enzyme created by the vitamin protects cells that are non-cancerous, and deactivates the cyanide's affects on healthy cells. It would appear from this research that, in essence, this means that vitamin B17 is truly the only natural cancer killing substance.
What Can We Do?
Just because it is unlawful to prescribe vitamin B17 here in the United States, that does not mean that there is no way for you to get the amazing benefits of this vitamin in your system. Many foods are rich in vitamin B17, and can be ingested daily without any ill effects. These include: spinach, apricot seeds, mung bean sprouts, and alfalfa sprouts. Vitamin B17 can also be found in foods such as watercress, and bamboo shoots.
Eating a diet that includes vitamin B17 can help your body to naturally form cancer-fighting cells. Even without any additional vitamin B17 taken in supplements (which no longer exist), your body will automatically use the B17 found in the foods you eat to flush cancerous toxins from your system. The Chinese have known this for centuries, and have used B17 rich foods as a means for treating tumors for centuries.
This is not to say that, if you have cancer, eating high doses of vitamin B17 will suddenly cure you. There are many who would have you to believe that eating apricot seeds while being treated for cancer will automatically rid your body of the disease. This simply isn't so. There is, as of yet, no magical cure for cancer. But eating a diet that is rich in foods containing vitamin B17 can help to prevent your body from developing cancerous cells.
It is illegal for a doctor or physician to prescribe any type of vitamin B17 supplement; so if you are looking for advice on how to incorporate more of this vitamin into your system, you will have to look elsewhere for information. A nutritionist can tell you which foods contain vitamin B17, and the appropriate serving size of each of these foods you should eat to maintain your health. There is also a plethora of information regarding the benefits of vitamin B17 available on the web.
