Ernest Krebs was a biochemist in the early 1950s whose desire to understand what makes cancer cells work led him to discover a possible key to overcoming the disease. Working on a hunch that cancer is ultimately a metabolic reaction to a poor diet, Krebs began studying the lifestyle habits of the Hunzas whose remote country is hidden near Northern Pakistan.
The Hunzas and Apricot Kernels
Back in 1930s Major Sir Robert Mc Carrison wrote about the Hunzas. According to Mc Carrison, the Hunzas enjoyed near-perfect physical and mental health and some of them lived to be over 135 years old. Besides the fact that they have lived a long life; there also seemed to be no evidence of diabetes, obesity, or heart attacks among them as well. There was also no evidence of cancer.
What made the Hunzas so resistant? Their vitality had a lot to do with what they ate and their overall lifestyle. Their diet was simple. According to Mc Carrison, it consisted of raw milk, the occasional meat and bone broth, fresh grains and veggies. They ate very little sugar and their lifestyles as nomads and herders meant they got plenty of vigorous exercise. The other characteristic was that the group ate large quantities of apricot seed kernels. Intrigued by this peculiarity, Krebs researched until he found what he thought was the secret weapon for tumor eradication – amygdalin.
What is Amygdalin?
Amygdalin can be found in more than 1200 edible plants in the nature. The highest concentration of this compound can be found in the apricot seed kernels.
The substance laetrile was created by Dr. Krebs as a concentrated form of amygdalin that is obtained by extracting it from apricot kernels. Amygdalin is a nitriloside and its structure most resembles that of a B complex vitamin, so Krebs named it B17.
What Makes Apricot Kernels a Cancer Killer?
Four potent substances are part of the amygdalin; two of them are benzaldehyde and cyanide. Cyanide is one of the substances that make apricot kernels a force to be reckoned with when it comes to beating cancer, including breast cancer.
Many healthy foods, such as bitter almonds, millet, sprouts, lima beans, spinach and bamboo shoots, actually have quantities of cyanide in them, yet they are still safe to eat. This is because the cyanide remains “locked” within the substance and is therefore harmless when bound within other molecular formations. In addition, rhodamine is an enzyme in the body whose job is to “catch” any free cyanide molecules that may have escaped and render them harmless.
The difference between cancer and normal cells is that the cancer cells contain beta-glucosidase. Beta-glucosidase is also the “unlocking enzyme” for the cyanide and benzaldehyde in amygdalin molecules. With the help of rhodanese and other protective enzymes, healthy cells are not jeopardized by this process when beta-glucosidase unlocks an amygdalin molecule, a toxic synergy is creating and only target the cancer cells.
Laetrile: A Potentially Powerful Cancer Therapy
Laetrile was readily obtainable prior to 1971 when the FDA banned it in the US. Although it is not impossible to obtain laetrile, these days apricot kernels are the easiest way to ingest amygdalin. They are easy to obtain at health food stores or online and are also fairly inexpensive.
Consult your doctor if you feel that you may have some consequences of tis therapy.
