The reason we are taught not to eat apricot kernels or apple seeds is that they contain cyanide. Consuming cyanide may kill the cancer, but only because it kills the patient who has the cancer.
It's amazing that once someone has invented some scam to separate desperate people from their money (and often cause them to forego tested treatments), those old scams never disappear.
Cyanide is NOT safe. Cyanide will NOT cure anyone of cancer. Cyanide WILL cause people to die earlier than they might have otherwise.
People, please do not fall for these scams, and especially do not give your money to snake oil salesmen trying to sell you poisons relabeled as cures.
It does get tiresome to see the same scams over and over.

Steve Jobs died of pancreatic cancer and he tried all kinds of crazy diet schemes. In fact, well before he was ever diagnosed, he was going weeks at a time eating just one type of food excessively and avoiding foods that could have kept him healthier.
Vegetarianism and it's offshoots annoy me the most. Show me one example of a person who lived a healthier life because they were a vegetarian. Yet they get all preachy and superior about it.
Ironically cyanide is about as deadly as the drugs they used in chemo. I agree with your snake oil salesman comments but sometimes those sales come from people with mds and phds.
Laetrile was the name given to a cancer "cure" made from apricot kernels IIRC.
True, but the rest of your post isn't. The cyanide found in bitter Apricot Kernels only attacks and kills cancer cells. As Saddam Hussein found out when he imported tons in the hopes of making a chemical weapon.
Consuming cyanide may kill the cancer, but only because it kills the patient who has the cancer.
Funny, but I think you have seeds mixed up with chemotherapy, chemo acts by killing cells indiscriminately, killing the good and the bad, that's what makes folks using chem sick and the drug companies and medical folks rich.

May of us are working hard to rid the world of the scam called the FDA.

I promise you Dr. exDemMom MD we won't fall for your scam much longer.
