I’m happy for you. Glad you survived.
But, as for me and mine we will stay with alternatives.
And to think I heard this earth-shattering monumental scientific news right here on a FR thread. I'll always remember this moment. Thank you for your service to the planet!
My brother’s leukemia is in remission after a year of treatment with some very expensive drugs. If only his health insurance company had done a simple google search on “tea and vitamins” they could have saved themselves $100k plus of expenditures on my brother. I guess the insurance company just wanted to spend money, because CONSPIRACY!
Or maybe not, because like most folks with a new cancer diagnosis, he Internet-searched the hell out his situation, and chose to go with his physician-recommended protocol mainly because he didn't want to die. (But also because he is a pawn in a massive SecritDoctorBigPharmConspiracy!)
Yes, and a friend of mine had a massive tumor the doctors thought had ‘disappeared’ on xrays only to die of cancer two years later.
Medicine is an ever changing science experiment and sometimes human doctors miss things. But, I certainly trust them more than I do some voodoo elixir.
Wow,There are no words.
I do not doubt the efficacy of apricot kernels, and we know that all healing begins with prayer! Thank you for sharing.
My Spiritual friend was told to wrap things up because she had very little time to live.She had done the chemo and all that.She emptied her bank account.Gave our Ministry 2,000.00 and gave out the rest of the money.Someone handed her Apricot Kernels and she had nothing to lose.That was 15 years ago and she is cancer free and living a normal life.
YES!!!
That certainly is your choice doctor. just never come near me or mine.
You should see him, my dad and I flew out to see him while he was in the hospital, he looked like death warmed over, I had never seen my dad cry.
But you should see him now, 220 pounds, muscles coming back, able to preach in the woods again, able to hunt, fish and walk.
pastor said this to me one day:
“...., want to know how to be the best salesman in the world?
Go to medical school, I don’t think they teach much about medicine, but they sure are taught how to sell drugs, especially poisonous drugs like chemo and vaccinations, all high profit man killers.”
In 1993, the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets tested the cyanide content of two 220 gram (8 oz) packages of bitter apricot kernels imported from Pakistan that were being sold in health-food stores as a snack.
The results showed that each package, if consumed entirely, contained at least double the minimum lethal dosage of cyanide for an adult human. The apricot pits were recalled and removed from stores.
There was one reported case in the medical literature of cyanide toxicity from apricot kernels from 1979 to 1998 in the United States.
Apricot kernel contains a toxic chemical known as amygdalin. In the body this chemical is converted to cyanide, which is poisonous. There was interest in using apricot kernel to fight cancer because it was thought that amygdalin was taken up first by cancer cells and converted to cyanide. It was hoped that the cyanide would harm only the tumor. But research has shown that this is not true. The amygdalin is actually converted to cyanide in the stomach. The cyanide then goes throughout the body, where it can cause serious harm, including death.
Apricot pits are the source of laetrile, a discredited cancer drug, and of amygdalin (sometimes inaccurately called “vitamin B-17”) found in the seeds of other fruits and in some raw nuts.
Amygdalin was isolated in 1830, and first used as an anticancer agent in Russia in 1845. Laetrile is a synthetic version of amygdalin. It was patented in the United States but has not been FDA-approved as a cancer treatment and cannot be sold in this country. However, laetrile, amygdalin, “vitamin B17,” and apricot pits are all sold as dietary supplements, and all can be potentially toxic.
Laetrile gained popularity in the 1970s as part of a cancer therapy consisting of a special diet, high-dose vitamin supplements, and pancreatic enzymes. Although many studies - both laboratory and human - have been conducted on it over the years, little evidence supports laetrile’s efficacy. Patients in some studies did respond to the drug, but their cancer recurred as soon as treatment was discontinued.
Furthermore, laetrile can cause serious side effects including symptoms of cyanide poisoning: nausea and vomiting, headache, dizziness, bluish discoloration of the skin due to lack of oxygen in the blood, liver damage, abnormally low blood pressure, droopy upper eyelids, difficulty walking due to damaged nerves, fever, mental confusion, coma, and even death.
Laetrile’s side effects can be intensified by eating celery, peaches, bean sprouts, and carrots or by taking high doses of vitamin C. Side effects are more severe when laetrile is given by mouth rather than by injection because intestinal bacteria and some commonly eaten plant foods contain enzymes that activate the release of cyanide.
I'll never forget the day, or where I was when I heard the news.
Historic.
