Note this cancer cure is considered to be a quack by the government.
This is the best topic that never garnered a reply
Since the early 1950s, a modified form of amygdalin has been promoted under the names laetrile and "Vitamin B17" as a cancer cure, but it is not a vitamin,[3] and studies have found it to be ineffective and potentially toxic[4][5][6] as a possible cause of cyanide poisoning.[7] The promotion of laetrile to treat cancer has been described in the scientific literature as a canonical example of quackery,[8][9][10] with Irving Lerner of the University of Minnesota describing it as "the slickest, most sophisticated, and certainly the most remunerative cancer quack promotion in medical history."[3]

It pretty much is quackery. For every 'cured' person there are hundreds of dead. Steve McQueen is one of them. Recently I met a woman on her way to Mexico because she believed there was a conspiracy to prevent people from getting cancer cures. She died about 6 weeks later.
People who go the natural route from the start have an 80%+ rate.
This study examines the association between alternative medicines (AM) and cancer survival. A national multicentre study was carried out in Norway in December 1992 to assess the prevalence of AM use among cancer patients. One of the aims of this study was to assess the association between AM and long-time survival. In January 2001, survival data were obtained with a follow-up of 8 years for 515 cancer patients. A total of 112 (22%) assessable patients used AM. During the follow-up period, 350 patients died. Death rates were higher in AM users (79%) than in those who did not use AM (65%). In a Cox regression model adjusted for demographic, disease and treatment factors, the hazard ratio of death for any use of AM compared with no use was 1.30, (95% Confidence Interval (CI) 0.99, 1.70; P=0.056), suggesting that AM use may predict a shorter survival. Sensitivity analyses strengthened the negative association between AM use and survival. AM use had the most detrimental effect in patients with an ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) performance status (PS) of 0 (hazard ratio for use=2.32, 95% CI, 1.44, 3.74, P=0.001), when compared with an ECOG PS of 1 or higher. The use of AM seems to predict a shorter survival from cancer. The effect appears predominantly in patients with a good PS.
Note this cancer cure is considered to be a quack by the government.I have been researching the Federal Reserve and came across this podcast by Edward Griffin he wrote a book Creature from Jekyll Island, basically showing the Federal Reserve is a scam. The the quality of the interview is great but has little health info.http://gnosticmedia.podomatic.com/entry/2009-05-31T21_30_03-07_00During the interview he mentioned he wrote another book, "A World without Cancer". I didn't read the book, but he claims cancer is a B17 vitamin deficiency. You can find his videos on youtube and google.Here is site that mentions some info on B17:http://www.cancertutor.com/Cancer/Laetrile.html But what strikes me is if you eat a Paleo diet with fruit, you will probably be getting a lot of Laetrile (especially if you eat seeds). Add that to Vitamin D, and you might lower your cancer risk significantly.Here is a good interview.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaWlWRoTPOYhttp://www.ehow.com/about_5394151_sources-vitamin-b.htmlBe careful, eating more than one apricot kernel a day might be hazardous. But, I have been eating the seeds lately.
