Is B17 (laetrile) or raw apricot seeds toxic to the body?
Technically, every food on the planet earth is toxic. However, when a person uses the term “toxic” it generally means the substance is poisonous when taken in low doses. With this definition, neither laetrile nor raw apricot seeds are toxic even when taken in high doses. This is just another urban myth the medical establishment has conjured up to scare you from seeking the truth and using all-natural and inexpensive natural cancer treatment methods. Aspirin is actually 20 times more toxic than the equivalent amount of B17. But even with aspirin, if an individual consumes a massive amount of the product, serious health complications may result. When in doubt, take the smallest amount possible and consult a natural medical doctor as to exactly how much you should be consuming. Dr. Neilson may be contacted at 1-800-799-4393, 24/7.
