The content of the article
Amygdalin was first removed in the 19th century from almond kernels. According to scientists, there is no reason to call a substance a vitamin, since its biological role for the body has not been proven through scientific research. Proponents of alternative methods of healing do not agree with this, and they call amygdalin specifically vitamin B17. This can be read on Wikipedia.
Benefits and harm to the body. Where is the vitamin 17b
Why does the body need vitamin B17 and in which foods it welcomes? Adherents of traditional and alternative medicine answer this question differently.
What do the doctor's say…
Scientific evidence suggests that a person does not need additional amygdalin. On the contrary, high doses of the substance are dangerous: B17 breaks down into a group of compounds, including hydrogen cyanide. This substance, when reacted with water, forms toxic hydrocyanic acid in large quantities.
... and healers
Contrary to the arguments of science, supporters of B17 insist that it helps to prevent the development of oncology, reduces the size of a cancerous tumor and prevents the spread of metastases to healthy tissues. In addition, the substance:
- strengthens the immune system;
- has an analgesic effect;
- relieves signs of fatigue;
- activates metabolic processes;
- slows down the aging process.
The main argument in favor of the medicinal power of a substance is not scientific evidence, but cases of successful cure of cancer using this substance. True, the reliability of such information is not confirmed in any way. The following data are presented as indirect evidence of the healing properties of vitamin B17:
- successful practice of healers of Egypt and China - healers used bitter almonds for medicinal purposes, and this product is saturated with amygdalin;
- cancer pathologies are not common among the Asian population - this is associated with a large number of apricot kernels in their diet that accumulate a lot of compound B17.
Based on this, alternative medicine makes two assumptions:
- the substance destroys tumor cells;
- its lack provokes the development of oncology.
Brief "biography" of the substance
In the early 1920s, a California doctor Ernst T. Krebs Sr. began using amygdalin to treat cancer patients. After that, the doctor announced the toxicity of the substance.
In the second half of the twentieth century, his son Ernst T. Krebs, Jr. synthesized the vitamin in laboratory conditions and called the chemically modified version “bark” (letril). The biochemist made the assumption that a deficiency of a substance in the body provokes the appearance of cancer cells, and the use of laetralum compensates for this deficiency, preventing the development of oncology.Since then, the active use of the drug in anti-cancer therapy has begun. Yielding to general excitement, many pharmacological companies began to produce biologically active additives (dietary supplements) containing amygdalin.
Research results
The unprecedented popularity of vitamin B17 has become an occasion for scientific experiments aimed at studying the mechanism of action and healing properties of the substance. However, studies have not confirmed the importance of vitamin for humans. The authoritative American organization FDA (Food Safety Authority) has banned drugs with this chemical because of their toxicity. In the United States, drug propaganda is punishable by law.
Adherents of amygdalin see this as another proof in favor of vitamin B17: they hide the effectiveness of the substance from the population in order to force patients to spend money on more expensive therapy.
What foods contain vitamin B17, and its use for healing
For medicinal purposes, the substance is recommended exclusively by supporters of alternative methods of treatment; official medicine warns against the use of amygdalin because of its toxicity. The main indication for the use of vitamin - prevention and therapy of oncology. Adherents of the substance also recommend it to strengthen the body. For medicinal purposes, alternative medicine recommends eating food and dietary supplements. What is vitamin B17 in?

- seeds of apricot and peach, plum and cherry;
- kernels of bitter almonds;
- seeds of apples, pears;
- watermelon seeds and pumpkins;
- flax seeds.
Pharmacological preparations
Despite the fact that after the FDA decree many pharmaceutical companies stopped production of products with vitamin B17, dietary supplements with amygdalin are still available to the modern buyer:
- Amygdalin Forte;
- Laetrile
- "Metamigdalin";
- "Vitalmix Recnacon 17".
The composition of the funds may vary, however, as an active ingredient, they all contain vitamin B17. Instructions for use amygdalin for each drug is different.
Contraindications

- individual intolerance;
- diabetes;
- diseases of the gastrointestinal tract;
- pathology of the kidneys, liver, thyroid gland.
For children, the use of the substance can also be dangerous.
Side effects

- nausea;
- suffocation;
- cyanosis of the skin;
- headaches;
- loss of consciousness.
History knows cases of recovery of patients with oncology, when official medicine was powerless. And reviews of cancer treatment with vitamin B17 also have a place to be. Should they be trusted? Everyone decides for himself. But it is important to remember that cancer therapy requires an integrated approach: it is not worth considering amygdalin as a panacea, even relying on reviews about it.
Feedback and Results
In December 2015, her husband, Victor, was diagnosed with stage 2 lung cancer. They discovered it early enough, so there were chances for recovery, but we faced the problem of raising funds for all necessary medical measures.We had no savings, we lived in a rented apartment, we earned, like most young families in St. Petersburg, about 80 thousand for two. Parents helped to collect the amount necessary for the initial chemotherapy sessions, a month later we started treatment. Maybe it helped with something, but Vita only got worse. Chemotherapy slowed the growth of the tumor, but did not stop it. It was proposed to have a pneumonectomy, but the husband put it off as a last resort, as he was frightened by the thought of living with one lung. We began to look for other ways to treat cancer, and turned to medicine, which is commonly called "unconventional." After a couple of weeks of searching, I came across Vitamin B17. We learned that he helped many people overcome the disease. We ordered from an official manufacturer in Russia a medicine called Argentril, which, using a special device, could be inhaled directly into the lungs. Vitya performed the procedure several times a day, at the same time he was still drinking potion with B17 - Immun-agdalin. After a month, his health improved. We went for a routine examination, where we were informed that since the last examination, the tumor decreased by 0.2 mm in diameter, no metastases were detected. Now we continue the course of treatment and hope for a full recovery and a return to normal! I hope someone helps my review!

I read about vitamin B17 not only in the links that I gave below in Coogle. com a lot of other statements, both in Russian forums and in American, someone writes for, someone against. I asked my husband’s doctor and he answered with two words “medicine is not proven”, and then added that if we want to take it, we can do it! And my husband is increasingly reluctant to accept B17, we can say that he completely refuses ... And he began with enthusiasm ...

While soviet grief, doctors offer all kinds of nonsense in the form of these vitamins, etc., Western scientists are already treating cancer with a linear accelerator. By the way, we also use this technology. Do not believe these miracle drugs, just read more literature in this direction.
