"All the billions of dollars of
research we’ve thrown at cancer hasn’t influenced survival one little bit.
More people than ever are dying from the solid tumours that make up 90% of
all cancers. You’d never know any of this if you talked to the average oncologist."
[Lynne McTaggart The Cancer Handbook (What Doctors Don’t Tell You,
London 2000)]

‘The fact is, for most of today’s most
common cancers, the ones that kill 90% of cancer patients every year, chemotherapy
has never been proved to do any good at all and in fact may do harm.’ [ed.

"…many medical oncologists recommend
chemotherapy for virtually any tumour, with a hopefulness undiscouraged by
almost invariable failure." [Oncologist Dr Albert Braverman (Lancet,
April 13, 1991)]

What we eat has a great effect on the
immune system, which is the first line of defence against cancer. A healthy
diet including vegetables and fruit, with vitamin, mineral and herbal supplements,
and exercise can all boost the immune system. However when the body is under
stress, of whatever kind, sometimes this is not enough.
·
There is a second line of defence to
prevent cancer - vitamin B17, which is found in nitrilosides in hundreds of
edible plants, plants which have generally been eliminated from a Western
diet. Vitamin B17 contains a substance which directly targets cancer cells
in the body.

"After more than twenty years
of specialised work, I have found the non-toxic nitrilosides - that is, laetrile
(concentrated vitamin B17) - far superior to any other known cancer treatment
or preventative. In my opinion it is the only existing possibility for the
ultimate control of cancer," Dr Hans Nieper, former Director of Medicine
at
·
"The ultimate question is, ‘Does
nutritional therapy work?’ That depends on how you define ‘work’. If you are
tumour oriented and are looking for something to make the tumour magically
disappear, no, it doesn’t. If you are looking for something that will prevent
the disease from spreading and save the life of the patient, yes, it does."
Dr Philip E Binzel Alive and Well (American Media, California 1994),
General Practitioner in the USA, where he used vitamin B17 and nutritional
therapy with phenomenal results for 18 years until he retired in 1991.

"Laetrile is goddamned quackery!
" Helene Brown, president of the American Cancer Society of California.
[Today’s Health, Nov. 1973 p28, quoted in World Without Cancer,
G. Edward Griffin (American Media, California 1974 and 1997)

Those with cancer can do much to help
themselves. "Other treatments (than chemotherapy) - the ones the American
Cancer Society considers unproven - have better success rates. Once we all
admit that, we can go forward." [Lynne McTaggart The Cancer Handbook
(What Doctors Don’t Tell You, London 2000) p9]
This site concentrates on one of those
‘other treatments’ - vitamin B17, but also refers to other natural treatments
which will work alongside it. In a war it is not usual to rely on one type
of weapon. Similarly, it may be wise to combine vitamin B17 and nutritional
therapy with other therapies to increase their effectiveness.

"Since so few cancers can actually
be completely cured by the official medical establishment despite billions
of dollars being spent on drug development, the crucial issue is not to contract
it in the first place." Chris Woollams M.A.(Oxon) Everything
you need to know to help you beat cancer (Health Issues, Buckingham 2002)
Most people reaching this site will
be here because they, or people they know, have cancer - and they will find
much information that relates to them. Nevertheless we believe the special
role of VITAMIN B17 is in cancer prevention. It is easy to include
in a normal, every day diet, and if everyone would recognise the necessity
of doing this to prevent cancer and realise how easy it is to do, then cancer
could be confined to the history books. However, since Dr Krebs did his pioneering
work in the 1950s the chemicalisation of our world has continued unabated
– “As the American Chemical Society catalogues the ten millionth man-made
chemical….. there are 3500 chemical food additives…….” [Patrick Holford Say
No To Cancer (Piatkus, London 1999 p24)]. And our food continues to contain fewer and
fewer nutrients (e.g. between 1940 and 1991 magnesium in food has declined
25%, calcium by 47%, iron by 36% and copper by 62% [Dr Paul Clayton Health
Defence (Accelerated Learning Systems, Aylesbury 2002)]. So supplementation as well as changing our
diet has become a necessity, as well as removing as many toxins from our lifestyle
as possible.
