During 1950 after many years of research a dedicated biochemist > by the name of Dr. Ernst T. Krebs, Jr. isolated a new vitamin that he > numbered B17 and called 'Laetrile'. As the years rolled by, thousands became > convinced that Krebs had finally found the complete control for all cancers, > a conviction shared by even more people today. Back in 1950 Ernst Krebs had > no idea of the hornet's nest he was about to stir up. > Unable to patent B17 or claim exclusive rights to the vitamin, > the pharmaceutical multinationals launched a massive propaganda attack of > unprecedented viciousness against Laetrile, despite the fact that hard proof > of its efficiency in controlling cancer now surrounds us. How is it any of > us gets cancer in the first place - through exposure to cigarette smoking, > intense sunlight or perhaps the effect of toxic food additives? Dr. Krebs > thinks not. All of his hard biochemical evidence points to the fact that > cancer is a simple deficiency disease of vitamin B17, long ago removed from > our highly refined western diets. Krebs postulates that the so- called > 'carcinogens' are merely stress triggers which finally expose the B17 > deficiency with devastating effect. > The credibility of Krebs' claim is best illustrated by the > vitamin C deficiency disease known as 'scurvy'. As with cancer there is no > advance warning of scurvy; no tell-tale signs that the body is running low > on vitamin C reserves. One minute the patient is a healthy person and the > next an invalid. Recovery from scurvy is equally dramatic. Within days > (sometimes hours) of high-dose vitamin C treatment the scurvy vanishes, > reappearing only if vitamin C reserves once more drop below a critical (but > undocumented) level. Thus if Ernst Krebs is right, alternative treatments > such as Essiac, Oxygen, and electromagnetic therapies are continually > fighting an uphill battle. The simple replacement of the 'lost' Vitamin B17 > in our diets might contribute to an increased success rate for other > alternative treatments, or replace them completely. > The proof Dr. Krebs has presented over the years to support his > claim of 'lost' B17 in our diets is impressive. Centuries ago we used to eat > millet and linseed bread rich in B17, but now we chew our way through wheat > bread which has none at all. For generations our grandmothers used to > carefully crush the seeds of plums, greengages, cherries, apples, apricots > and other members of the botanical family Rosaceae, and diligently mix the > kernels with their home made jams and preserves. Grandma probably didn't > know why she was doing it, but the kernels of all these fruits are some of > the most potent sources of B17 in the world. In the tropics, huge quantities > of B17 are found in bitter cassava, also known as tropical manioc. > Research has proved that a Himalayan tribe known as the 'Hunza' > never contract cancer or suffer from heart disease if they stick to their > native diet which is exceptionally high in both apricots and millet. > However, once exposed to western diets the Hunza become as vulnerable as the > rest of us. Because the Hunza eat very little meat this might encourage > large numbers of the vegetarian community to pat each other eagerly on the > back whilst proclaiming: " See, we were right! " > Alas, such jubilation would be sadly misplaced. In a bid to find > a diet acceptable to those not wishing to nibble one lettuce leaf a day, > Richard MacKarness made a detailed study of Eskimos living on the polar ice, > and American Indians eating traditional diets.

The > main point MacKarness makes in his book " Eat Fat and Grow Slim " is that > there is no such thing as obesity among these people: an interesting fact in > its own right as they regularly gorge themselves on saturated animal fats at > least twice a day. Where things get decidedly more interesting is his proof > that Eskimos and Indians living in their natural environments and eating > traditional foods, NEVER contract cancer or suffer from heart complaints: > exactly the same as the Hunza people in the Himalayas, despite the Eskimos > and American Indians being carnivores rather than vegetarians. > Careful investigation reveals the most likely common factor to > be vitamin B17. The caribou which form a large part of the staple diet of > both groups graze predominantly on arrow grass containing up to 15,000 mg > per kilo nitriloside, the primary source of B17.

Drastic perhaps, but the adventurous Dr. > Krebs is still alive and well today. > The vitamin is harmless to healthy tissue for a very simple > reason: each molecule of B17 contains one unit of cyanide, one unit of > benzaldehyde and two of glucose (sugar) tightly locked together.

Even if we allow that a deficiency of B17 might be the > most likely culprit for the sudden appearance of such a condition, there is > still the question of what happens next and how that cancer develops to the > life-threatening stage. In " World Without Cancer " , Griffin explains the > trophoblastic theory of cancer proposed by Professor John Beard of Edinburgh > University, who claims certain pre-embryonic cells in pregnancy differ in no > discernible way from highly malignant cancer cells. Griffin notes: ' The > trophoblast in pregnancy indeed does exhibit all the classical > characteristics of cancer.

If the > trophoblast is triggered as part of a healing process however, the result is > cancer or, as Edward Griffin cautions: 'To be more accurate, we should say > it is cancer if the healing process is not terminated upon completion of its > task.' > Stunning proof of this claim is readily available. All > trophoblast cells produce a unique hormone called the chorionic > gonadotrophic (CGH) which is easily detected in urine. Thus if a person is > either pregnant or has cancer, a simple CGH pregnancy test should confirm > either or both. It does, with a reported accuracy of better than 85%. If the > urine sample shows positive it means either normal pregnancy or abnormal > malignant cancer. Griffin notes: 'If the patient is a woman, she either is > pregnant or has cancer. If he is a man, cancer can be the only cause.' So > why all of the expensive, dangerous biopsies carried to 'detect' cancerous > growths? One can only assume that medicare pays doctors a larger fee for > biopsies than pregnancy tests. In Australia, two CGH style 'do-it-yourself' > pregnancy tests stocked by most pharmacies are 'Discover' and 'Predictor'. > Physicians reading this article will probably be shaking with > self-righteous indignation by this stage, muttering darkly: 'Yes, but where > is the PROOF?' Right here: Most people have heard of 'spontaneous > regression' where a cancer simply goes away, hopefully never to reappear. > Such spontaneous regressions are exceedingly rare and vary from one form of > cancer to another. One virulent cancer variety known as testicular > chorionepithelioma has never been known to produce a single spontaneous > regression. Perhaps for that precise reason, Dr. Krebs singled it out for > special attention when proving the effectiveness of B17 Laetrile in > providing total control for cancers. > As Edward Griffin recalls, in a banquet speech in San Francisco > on November 19, 1967, Dr. Ernst T.
