Guest guest Posted September 11, 2003 Report Share Posted September 11, 2003 Background on Laetrile & Sloan Kettering's Confict of interest-discrediteing It was all an effort to gain monopoly control of the product.arnoldThis should be writ large:Sloan Kettering Cancer Institute in NY City that did the studies on apricotseeds back in the 1970's went looking for a drug that used cyanide as thechemo agent very shortly after they claimed that apricot seeds did notaffect cancer at all. You can read between the lines of that one and youwill be correct. The point is, for an institution that is owned andfinanced by the drug industry, as Sloan Kettering is nothing more than thefactory outlet for the Pharma Cartel, there is no money in pushing theseeds of a fruit. These people need a patentable product. Read the study. You will be amazed at the bias and lack of scientificpenetration. The seeds were found to bring cancer into remission but whenpatients were taken off the seeds their cancer returned. The researchersconcluded that the seeds were not a cure for cancer and therefore not worthpursuing.As Bob observed above the MSK then went out looking for other cyanidebearing drugs for something they could patent and sell at extortionateprices to cancer patients. They failed because the active ingredient isactually Vit b17 not cyanide. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Apricot seeds are not forbidden. It is illegal to sell apricot seeds as a cure for cancer or for the treatment of any disease but apricots are nothing more than fruit and you can eat them till your hearts content. My healthfood store sells the seeds but they do so as a food product as they sell walnuts, almonds, peanuts and cashews. The problem people run into with the legal authorities is when they attempt to sell the seeds as medicine or as a treatment for a particular disease, most notably , cancer. That is what is illegal. People have been misinformed and mislead on this issue for a long time. Apricots are food and the seeds are readily available so long as you do not make any medical claims about them, they are perfectly legal to sell as you would any seed from any legal plant.Apricots are a tasty fruit and we eat them all the time. Some sellers of the seeds hype them as a medical cure for cancer and raise the price of something that would otherwise be very cheap. Or at least cheap compared to what they are really worth. I am not saying that the seeds do not have value as medicine, i'm not saying that at all. In fact there are many researchers and doctors who have stated that they are in fact useful in the treatment of cancer.

The point is, for an institution that is owned and financed by the drug industry, as Sloan Kettering is nothing more than the factory outlet for the Pharma Cartel, there is no money in pushing the seeds of a fruit. These people need a patentable product. The idea is to make money, not cure disease. It's unfortunate that too many people have not yet figured this out. Many seeds of many fruits have similar qualities as apricot seeds, it's just that apricot seeds has more of them. THey are legal so long as you make no medical claims when you sell them.BOB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 I have read the story multiple times. At first I was shocked, but, even now, I am taken back a step at the incredulous lack of regard for people who have become sick with cancer. But, even more than Sloan Kettering, one can simply stand there with one’s mouth hanging open, at the support of all this by the American FDA and its counterparts worldwide. All the regulatory agencies, like the FDA, came into being with the rationale of protecting the consumer. Yet, provably, what they do is to protect the interests of each and every various established industries that they all are supposed to protect the consumer from. Since the FDA was established, it has had innumerable of its managers move on to become Presidents, Vice Presidents, CEO’s, etc. of the companies they have supposedly regulated. It would be one thing if they just told us that we were on our own, but, no, once one realizes one is on his own, one has to be careful not to offend those who put him on his own. We are not just only on our own, but we have to fight against these people to establish ourselves on our own.
