Apricot Seeds Can Save Your Life

Organic apricot seeds health benefits

Apricot seeds are, like most nuts and seeds, very nutritious. Apricot seeds were used to treat tumors as early as AD 502. Apricot seeds are taken by many people as a cancer treatment as they contain high doses of Vitamin B17, an immune system enhancer. Apricot seeds are an essential source of cyanogenic glycosides and laetrile that is considered to be a sort of treatment or cancer.

Cancer

Cancer has now surpassed heart disease for the first time as the top killer of Americans under age 85. Cancer is now expected to strike 1 in 2 men and over 1 in 3 women around the world in their lifetimes. Cancer occurs only as a result of a direct deficiency of Laetrile and those so-called carcinogens really just contribute to cancer by placing further stress on the body that precipitates the Cancers that result from Laetrile deficiency. Cancer cells all have the exact same characteristics. Cancer, by definition, is a Chronic Metabolic disease and must be treated as such. Cancer is a systemic failure of the immune system and cellular communication. Cancer patients who have responded favorably to laetrile do not relapse when they are maintained on laetrile therapy.

Seeds

Many of the world's top scientists claim that when consumed, Apricot Seeds would make it 100% impossible to develop cancer. Special ingredients in Raw Apricot Seeds have been proven for decades to kill existing cancer cells in most cases. Fresh apricot seeds are a lovely, cinnamon colour. Blanched apricot seeds are not suitable as a nutritional supplement. If you're a regular user of apricot seeds, you know the difference. When apricot seeds are blanched they are boiled at high temperature, which results in a skinless, pale coloured kernel. Blanched apricot seeds therefore have little value as a nutritional supplement. Raw Apricot Seeds also contain vitamin B15, which get more oxygen to the tissue.

B17

B17 still continues to save his life every day. Apricot kernels are a source of vitamin B17. Dr Ernst Krebs was the first to identify vitamin B17 and to investigate its properties in 1952. Apricot seeds are taken by many people as a cancer treatment as they contain high doses of Vitamin B17, an immune system enhancer. Stores do not sell "raw" apricot seeds because of the raids the FDA made on those stores with vitamin B17 and the apricot seeds years ago. Finding the right provider to buy your Vitamin B17 is very important.

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy has never been shown to have curative effects for cancer. Chemotherapy does not eliminate breast, colon or lung cancers. Chemotherapy and radiation have long been known to damage the fertility of patients, but little is known about more targeted drugs such as Gleevec, known generically as imatinib. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy.

Apricot seeds are subject to seasonal availability. Apricot seeds have the highest content of B-17 on earth. Apricot seeds assist your body to cure cancer with protein digesting enzymes supplied by the pancreas. Apricot seeds are the spear and bulls-eye that I deal with and have seen thousands of people get better and live many times longer than they would have than if they went to chemo and/or radiation.

Apricot Kernels - Organic or Not?

Are organic apricot kernels better than non-organic?

This question is one that I'm asked frequently as a religious user of organic produce. If you're not likely to read this whole blog post, the short answer is, no. Now go and buy yourself some non-organic apricot kernels. Just make sure they're very bitter!

In order to answer this question thoroughly and effectively, we need to look at the primary reason for using the apricot kernels. Are they being used nutritionally or therapeutically? Let's explore.

I am often accused of being a fanatic about certain things - nutrition has been no exception. In almost all cases of fruit and vegetables, I passionately advise people to go the organic route wherever possible. Very unfortunately for many, cost often presents a barrier that is difficult to overcome, as organic produce can be very expensive relative to non-organic. However - don't be disheartened. If you can't afford organic produce, keep reading. The situation can be much improved without taking the leap.

There are two very different reasons for choosing organic over non-organic fruit and vegetables. The first reason is mineral content. Conventionally grown produce almost always lacks the trace mineral content of its organic counterpart. The reason for this is that minerals are found in the soil and imparted to the produce grown within it, unlike vitamins which are produced by the plant itself. Organic status has no bearing on vitamin content. The difference lies in the principles used in the farming method.

Conventional crops (those grown with the use of chemicals) often strip the soil of its mineral content through over-farming. The same crops are often grown year after year after year, each cycle stripping what minerals the soil has to offer. Organic farming principles, on the other hand, generally involve crop rotation with periods of resting and rejuvenation, which allows the ground to recuperate and replenish.

(This post isn't about trace minerals so I'm not going to go into great detail, but I will say that they are critical to health. You should be educated about them and I urge you to go off and do some research upon completion of this entry.)

The second reason for choosing organic over non-organic is pesticides and other chemical residues. In conventional farming, pesticides and other chemicals are used to protect, encourage and preserve crops - and, ultimately, to return a better dollar. The damage caused by crop pests results in massive yield and financial losses. These losses are built into the prices of organic foods, which is why organic produce is often so expensive, relatively speaking. These chemicals, however, can be very detrimental to our health, contributing significantly to countless disease states, such as cancer, and any number of other ailments of severity.

For those who can't afford organic, all is not lost. Though it's not perfect, the worst of these chemicals can be washed from your food. Very thorough washing should be practiced before consumption, and the benefit will be produce is that largely free of these residues. Though I won't say the two become equals, the situation has improved considerably. As for trace minerals - these can be supplemented 100% effectively. Whether found in your food or in a high quality supplement, your body will be none-the-wiser. There are many trace mineral supplements available. These trace minerals generally come from ancient soil deposits of fulvic acid. Search for organic colloidal minerals or fulvic acid. The health benefits are too numerous to go into here.

So - why are you using apricot kernels? Most people are using apricot kernels for their amygdalin (vitamin B17) content. If this is the case for you, organic status has no bearing on amygdalin content. Not only that, but apricot stones are a very hard-shelled seed - almost more of a nut in this regard. The kernel is enclosed within its very own fortress. The kernel, being at the center of the fruit and within the protection of this very hard, thick enclosure, is entirely protected from chemical sprays and insect treatments. These chemicals never come into contact with the kernel. Some sellers of "organic" apricot kernels attempt to justify their price by wrongly suggesting that their non-organic counterparts contain concentrations of pesticides. This is a myth.

Almonds, which are very close cousins of apricot kernels, are different in their whole structure. Where apricot kernels are very well protected from contaminants, almonds are not. Almonds aren't enclosed within a fruit and their shells are very soft and absorbent. The result, unfortunately, is that they take on chemical sprays quite readily. Comparisons can't be made between the two.

Ultimately, your choice of kernel should be the most bitter (most amygdalin) kernel available to you. If it happens to be organic, fine, but don't look for organic thinking that you're getting a better option. You're simply not. Not only do they not contain more amygdalin, they are often of sweeter varieties of apricot kernel, such as those grown through India and Pakistan.
