Vitamin B17, found in apricot kernels, also causes apoptosis.

Please be aware that there is no such thing as "Vitamin B17"; this is another name for laetrile, which is nothing more than cyanide.

I do not know what the "alternative medicine" significance of apoptosis is, but in real science, it is a programmed cell death that is triggered by many conditions that disrupt a cell's normal growth. Cells decide to die rather than try to continue to grow (i.e. divide) with multiple damages. Being able to induce apoptosis is not necessarily a good thing, since many toxins (ricin, abrin, dioxin, etc.) cause apoptosis.

...also causes apoptosis.

Apoptosis occurs in all cells. How do you direct it to occur only in cancer cells?
