Video Transcript: The Best Sources of Laetrile (aka Vitamin B17 or Amygdalin) for Cancer Patients
Ty Bollinger: I would like to find out from you what you would recommend as far as maybe the top five or six foods that would contain Laetrile, because after hearing this I want to make sure that we’re eating foods that contain Laetrile. Where would we find them in a typical grocery store or are they—can you find them in a grocery store?
G. Edward Griffin: Oh yeah, they’re there. In fact we published, our little company published a book some years ago called “The Little Cyanide Cookbook.”
Ty Bollinger: Okay. I like the name.
G. Edward Griffin: We were afraid a lot of ladies might want the book for other reasons.
Ty Bollinger: I would buy the book just because of the ingenious title.
G. Edward Griffin: But it is all about how to cook delicious meals with foods that contain natural resources of cyanide in this vitamin b17 format, or amygdalin format. So if anybody wants to know the complete list we’ve got the list there in the back of that book called “The Little Cyanide Cookbook.” But no, getting past that and if you want to go down to your grocery store today it’s hard to find foods that are really rich in that because people don’t buy them. They don’t want them.
The best source, easiest source is an apple seed. Get apples and if you chew those seeds—your grandmother might have said “don’t chew those seeds, it’s poisonous.” Well, it’s not poisonous. It’s got amygdalin in it. That’s what makes it so bitter. So if you’re eating an apple seed and really chew it up you’ll get that bitter taste. And now you know what amygdalin tastes like.
That’s one good source. Apricot seeds are very good and you can find those in some health food stores. Or you can go on the internet. There are companies that sell them on the internet. Apricot seeds. The California seeds are the most bitter, meaning they have the most amygdalin in them. But they also import them from Turkey and they’re a little sweeter. But you have to eat more of them to get the same amount.
So those are two good sources. Peach seeds. Plum seeds if you can crack these hard shells open and get the little seeds out. Almonds? No. Now, it used to be that all almonds were very rich in amygdalin, but they were very bitter.
Ty Bollinger: Right, the bitter almond tree.
G. Edward Griffin: The bitter almond tree was the almond tree that one time 80 or 90 years ago that’s all there was. And some farmer found a tree in his pasture that “hey, this isn’t bitter, this is sweet” and everybody started grafting onto the twigs from that tree. And now you can drive through mid-California orchards and you drive for miles and miles and miles. There’s thousands of these almond trees, but this far off the ground you can see where the color and the texture of the bark changes. They’ve all been grafted. So all almonds today are grafted trees. They’re not natural.
That’s sort of a symbol of what’s been going on in the modern world. We’re getting rid of all the bitter stuff. Lima beans, not my favorite bean even today, though I understand that at one time they were very bitter. They had amygdalin in them. But they’ve been hybridized out. Lima beans have a very low amount of amygdalin in them today.
So, through this process you know we’ve been killing ourselves by getting rid of that natural flavor. To answer your question I would say if you want to have a steady source, a reliable source would be apricot seeds and apple seeds.
Ty Bollinger: Eat the seeds.
G. Edward Griffin: Now, a caution. You can eat too much so that you’ll get sick. I think there’s a natural law there, you know. How many apricot seeds would you eat if you’re also eating the whole apricot? Well, what six? Seven? How many apricots can you eat?
Six maybe, that’s a lot. Maybe seven. Perfectly safe. But now somebody might say, “Gee, if six or seven are good, maybe 20 or 30 are even better.” I wouldn’t do that. I know that you can get an overdose and you get nauseous and dizzy and it’s not good for you.
Ty Bollinger: Good rule of thumb, then, is don’t eat more than you would eat the actual fruit. Okay, I like that.
G. Edward Griffin: At one time.
Ty Bollinger: In one sitting.
In southern Spain we have easy access to bitter almonds, they have by no means all been hybridised out, also of course to apricot kernels. Thank you for this valuable information.
How on earth do you eat an apricot seed? Are you talking about the pits? Or is there a smaller seed I’m not aware of?
Crack open the pit, there’s an almond-like seed inside
Can you just swallow the apple seeds whole? Are some brands of apples better than others?
I understand you have to chew these seeds, Apple and apricot, really well to release the chemical. Pips can pass straight through the gut otherwise.
I put them in my nutribullet mix, which I hope makes them available.
Just dry the seeds and then Blind a handful for a week’s supply
Ty, Thank you SoOOOOO much for answering my question about the benefits of eating ” APPLES” . Rose
Can anyone help me? I read on Cancer Tutor that you should not take probiotics when using Laetrile therapy. It said, “It was our experience that taking laetrile with high strength probiotics may also increase the amount of free hydrogen cyanide and thus could create adverse side effects.” So does that mean you can take low strength probiotics? Does that mean you could take them at a different time in the day or does it mean to never take them?
Thanks!!!!
How many seeds would you consume daily to avoid cyanide poisoning? Is that what you meant by “being sick”?
take about 5 or six per day if you have cancer otherwise 2 per day is ok to prevent cancer. As usual you can take 5/6 per day and more if you want but common sense if you’re well.
Oh don’t take sugar when you take amygdalin or sweet almond seeds as they are rich in sugar. Bitter Almonds also contain Amygdalin.
Can the apple seeds be dried and grinded in powder form, and eat that daily. Will it have the same effect.
and someone one is going to get cyanide posioning because you have to be on a very restrictive diet when consuming chemicals linked to cyanide as not to activate its cousin hydrogen, potasium, ect and that is why it is not approved by the fda or pharm comapanies.
Can you provide a listing of how much to take, what other supplements must be taken with it, and any contraindications as far as health issues or other supplements/prescriptions?
hey your self some cbd thc drops u be good to go
How can you be sure of the quality of what’s in your model being what they say ?
When you provide suggestions of supplements to take can you also provide a listing of how much to take, what other supplements to take with it, and any contraindications as far as health issues or other supplements/prescriptions?
(Sorry. I didn’t mean to post this twice)
i take 8 seeds twice a day with honey teaspoon and it gets very well . Prostate cancer T2
My father is going through prostate cancer as well. You take 8 Appleseeds a day? You just chew them up really well? Thank you for your advice! How long have you been taking them?
Where can I buy amygdalin oil and what doses are used?
To add to my previous comment just posted, For liver cancer with cirrhosis 64 year old man
HI,
COULD YOU PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IS THE BETTER WEBSITE TO ORDER VITAMIN 17
THANKS A LOT
Hi I had stage 3c low grade ovarian I would like to try the b-17 but I can’t chew the seeds because I have no teeth how else could I take this.
I buy my bitter apricot kernels from Apricot Power. They sell B17 capsules as well as ground bitter apricot kernels in capsules which would require no chewing. The kernels can be ground in an inexpensive coffee grinder and put in smoothies or rolled into no-bake cookie balls. If anyone knows of a source of bitter apricot kernel oil, I’d love to know. Amazon has only sweet apricot oil. They do sell bitter almond oil. I used to buy the Hunza brand of kernels but found them more dried out than the Apricot Power.
Amazon sells the oil
Interesting. I live in Spain and I have access to many bitter almonds. How safe are these informations? I am concerned about cyanide.
Where is the actual research that supports the claims about B!17. It was banned over 0 yrs, ago as quackery and dangerous, there are reports of people dying from cyanide poisoning due to consuming apricot seeds. At this stage I feel the documented evidence is against the safe consumption of these seeds.
Hi Edwin,
Here is an article about this: https://thetruthaboutcancer.com/apricot-kernels-for-cancer/
Please see the sources and references tab for more information. This tab is just below the article summary.
Google Second Opinion the documentary about the whistle blower at Sloan Kettering Cancer Institute where Latrile research was being conducted. It documents Latrile’s effectiveness from the mouth of the actual researcher and how the Pharm Companies squashed the evidence. very powerfull.
Do you recommend any books on the subject? I just found out my dear friend has stomach, liver and pancreatic cancer – the worst kind. If possible, I want to order whatever will help so she can fight this.
Thank you .

Hi
I am wondering if any of the experts on your info sheet are in Sydney- Australia. My friend has been diagnosed with pleomorphic sarcoma cancer on her thigh. She is having testing to see if it is anywhere else. I suggested the Apricot seeds. She is willing to have them but would like to see a health doctor. Not sure where to go for help. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Patty

I always thought that I’m weird because I eat the whole apple…peel, flesh,core and seeds….now I know it is goo for me 😀
and I still remember when I was little my grandpa used to crack open apricot pits and I was sitting there and munching on them 😀
It’s funny how much we can learn about health from our grandparents sometimes. 🙂
Thanks for sharing, Timea!
I want to throw something out there for others. I at a couple apples today, saved the seeds (about 10-12 of them) and chewed them up. All I can say is WOW.
Have any of you ever noticed a taste/smell in the skin of sweet almonds that is bitter, sweet and kind of floral? This is exactly what the apple seeds taste like. As it turns out sweet almonds have very small amounts of amygdalin.
The taste is incredible and it honestly feels like it’s something my body was craving and missing. I may have to try finding some bitter almonds to replace the sweet ones in my muesli (works out to 2 Tbsp per serving, or around 16 almonds).
Thank you for bringing this information to light!!!
