Materia Medica for Apricot Kernel

Apricot Kernel General

Apricot kernel is the soft part inside the seed of an apricot. Apricots grow in America, Central Asia, Northern China, and the Himalayan region. They are bitter in taste. Apricot kernel is a good source of iron, potassium, phosphorus and the richest source of vitamin B17. Vitamin B17 is also known as amygdalin, laetrile. Apricot kernels are most effective for killing cancer cells. The advantage is that they only kill cancer cells and do not harm the normal cells. This is their biggest score when compared with other forms of cures. Research has shown that eating apricot kernels will prevent and cure Cancer.
HOW IT WORKS!
Poor diet and a missing nutrient from modern man's diet, Amagdylin causes cancer.
Apricot kernel is rich in amagdylin. Amagdylin has benzaldyhide and cyanide.
Normal cells in our body has Enzimes. This Enzyme is rhodanese. It binds cyanide to sulphur. Then, it is converted into a cyanate, a natural substance. Cyanide is easily passed through urine without harming healthy cells.
Cancer cells are not normal. They contain an enzyme, beta glucosidase. This enzyme is unlocking enzyme for Amagdylin molecules or Apricot kernels. Beta glucosidase on reacting with the kernels break down the kernel and releases both the benzaldyhide and the cyanide, creating a toxic substance.
Amagdylin combines with the protective enzymes in healthy cells and the unlocking enzymes in cancer cells is thus able to destroy cancer cells.
Chemotherapy, on the other hand, kills all the cells, including healthy cells and damages the immune system.
HOW TO TAKE
Open the apricot seeds yourself or buy them separately. Chew the seeds. Swallow them. If it tastes bitter, eat them with honey.
DOSAGE
For prevention of Cancer. Eat 5 to 7 apricot kernel seeds per day to prevent cancer.
As a treatment. Consume a total 24 kernels in a day. Do not consume more than 4 kernels at any one time. Eat 4 kernels every two hour.

It says "do not take more than 2 at any one time"
Then it says "eat 5 to 7 to prevent, 24 to 40 to cure"
I dont understand.

Dear Maikel Jaeinz Dosage varies as per the condition. To prevent Cancer, east 5 to 7 kernels per day. To CURE it, eat 24 to 40 kernels a day. Not to take more than 2 at a time means, Suppose you wish to prevent Cancer, take 5 to 7 kernel seeds. then at one time take only 2. Thus, you need to take it thrice a day o make it 5 or more than 5 , eat 2 at one time. Dose should be -- 2 kernels at a time. Taking 12 times a day, sums it up to 24.

Dear Sir
Please find below details taken from Wiki regarding AMYGDALIN.
Please Guide:
A 2011 systematic review from the Cochrane Collaboration found:

The claims that laetrile or amygdalin have beneficial effects for cancer patients are not currently supported by sound clinical data. There is a considerable risk of serious adverse effects from cyanide poisoning after laetrile or amygdalin, especially after oral ingestion. The risk–benefit balance of laetrile or amygdalin as a treatment for cancer is therefore unambiguously negative.[21]

Dear Vinay
: For Diabetes: Buy the following tincture from a Homeopathy Shop.
1. Tribulus Terrestris ( Gokhru ) : Take 10 drops morning and evening. It will take care of your Kidneys. When the kidneys start functoining properly, it will automatically affect your Diabetes and Blood Pressure. 2. Gymnema Sylvestre ( Gudmar ) : Take 10 drops morning and evening. This will reduce the sugar level in Blood and also will improve the functioning of the Pancreas. 3. Tinospora Cordifolia ( Giloy ) : Take 10 drops 2 times in a day.
4. Soak your feet in Karela juice, until mouth becomes bitter. Follow this regimen at least for 1 month and keep a regular check on your blood sugar. Once the level goes down, reduce the doses of Allopathy medicines accordingly. And when it becomes normal, reduce the doses of tinctures also.

Cleavers and Soursop are the best herbs for your mother. Give her Gallium Aparine tincture. 5 drops in a glass of water for a month. Give her soursop juice 100 ml everyday for a month.

Apricot kernels combines with Marijuana etc as mentioned on this page. Does it means, it should not be taken with Marijuana / Cannabis for cancer treatment ??

Sachin. It is not mandatory that you have to combine Apricot Kernel and Cannabis or take only of these herbs. Both these herbs are among the top Cancer-fighting herbs. You can simply take Cannabis Sativa mother tincture with water. And then you can take Apricot Kernel separately. Do not take more than 4 kernels at a time, it may be toxic. The method of intake of both the herbs is different, so, I do not think you can combine them and take at the same time.

If one is taking cannabis tincture, should you not be putting it under your tomgue to make it enter the blood stram immediately. Why put it in water and have it absorbed through the intestines.
 
Rubin ( Texas )

Yes, Noyel you can take it under the tongue , this will reach the blood stream faster than any other means. The only reason I dilute it before taking is the taste. Some tinctures are too harsh for the tongue, so I usually dilute the tincture with water.
