This is something I was writing a few months ago, but I revisited it and finished it in light of Farrah Fawcett and Patrick Swayze’s deaths from cancer this year.

This is a summary of a video written and narrated by G. Edward Griffin that was (for me) life changing. I had already read Griffin’s outstanding book “The Creature From Jekyll Island” (recommended to everyone here), and I was curious about the other books he’d written. One of these other books is “A World Without Cancer”, which immediately struck me because of it’s title. I found an hour-long documentary of the same name he made based on the knowledge in part 1 of the book (part 1 is the science, part 2 is the dirty politics). The book and the video were both made in the 1970s, but I don‘t see why any of the info in here wouldn‘t apply today as well. This video is a must see for anyone who wants to live a long, healthy and productive life.

Introduction And Thesis Statement

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the world, but we could have a world without cancer at this very moment, based entirely on existing knowledge.

In the U.S., the FDA has arrested citizens, prosecuted doctors, and confiscated books and medicine for talking about the theories in this film. It’s only natural that people are skeptical when they hear cancer is perfectly avoidable. The mainstream media has been blocking out this truth for decades.

Skeptics need to keep in mind that Galileo, the Wright brothers, etc also were attacked for their discoveries. Plus, there’s Schopenhauer’s quote: “All truth passes through three stages: First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as self-evident.” I can almost guarantee that this knowledge will be self-evident at some point in the future.

Cancer And Vitamin B17

Cancer is a deficiency disease caused by a lack of Vitamin B17, just like scurvy is a Vitamin C deficiency and pellagra is a Vitamin B3 deficiency. The theory that cancer is a deficiency disease was pioneered by Ernst T. Krebs, a biochemist from San Francisco.

Cancer is a Chronic Metabolic disease. A disease is Chronic if it doesn’t die off by itself. A disease is Metabolic if it arises within the body and can’t be transmitted to another person. According to Krebs, a Chronic Metabolic disease that isn’t caused by nutritional deficits has never been discovered.

B17 is part of a group of vitamins called Nitrilosides. Animals like dogs, monkeys and bears instinctively seek out and eat grasses and fruits that are rich in Nitrilosides. Many foods that have Nitrilosides in them simply are not eaten anymore and the rise of the cancer rate correlates with the fall of Nitrilosides. Salmonberries, maize, millet, sorghum and (mainly) apricot kernels are listed as foods that are strong in Nitrilosides.

The Hunza people of Pakistan and the Inuits of the Arctic both eat diets full of Nitrilosides. There has never been a reported case of cancer in Hunza and it is extremely common for Hunzans to live over 100 years. Both of these groups live low-tech primitive existences compared to Westerners, but they’ll remain cancer-free in the modern world if they retain their cultural diet.

Ultimately, staying cancer-free is a matter of simply restoring Vitamin B17 to our daily intake.

The Science Of Cancer

In 1902 John Beard, a professor at the University Of Edinburgh, determined there is no difference between cancer cells and trophoblasts. Trophoblasts are pre-embryonic cells that multiply and eat their way to the uterus wall and prepares a place that the embryo can attach itself.

The human body contains cells called “total life cells”.* 80% of these are found in the ovaries/testes. The other 20% are located throughout the body. The hormone estrogen is released in both sexes when the body needs to heal itself from an injury or illness. The total life cell produces trophoblasts when it comes in contact with estrogen. When this happens in reproduction, it creates an umbilical cord and placenta. When it occurs accidentally as the body attempts to heal itself, the result is cancer.

The human body has its own defense mechanisms against cancer. When cancer first appears, cells near the cancer surround it to keep it from spreading. This produces a lump. White blood cells don’t attack cancer cells because they’re the same thing as trophoblasts, which aren’t foreign to the body. Nature fights cancer by having the pancreas secrete an enzyme called trypsin. Trypsin nullifies the protein coat that protects the cancer cell. Then the white blood cell attacks and the cancer is destroyed. This is why cancer cells almost never appear near the pancreas, and why diabetics are 3 times as likely to get cancer.**

So, where does Vitamin B17 come into the picture? Well, there are some times when there is so much cancer in the body that the white blood cells/trypsin combination can’t keep up with it. B17 is a natural re-enforcer. We need B17 the same way we need calcium for strong bones and protein for strong muscles.

The B17 molecule is composed of 2 sugar atoms, 1 benzaldehyde atom, and 1 cyanide atom. Some people will think cyanide automatically makes it poisonous, but cyanide in its natural state is dormant and non toxic. There’s only one enzyme in your body that can make natural cyanide toxic, and that enzyme is located in the cancer cell. When this cyanide comes in contact with cancer, it poisons the cancer cell and nothing more.

Carcinogens such as cigarettes and ultraviolet rays “cause” cancer because they damage the body, and hence trigger the production of estrogen. If any of this estrogen comes in contact with total life cells, boom! You have cancer.

The Truth About Laetrile

Laetrile is a medicine made from concentrated and intensified B17 that’s specifically used to treat cancer.

Laetrile has a bad reputation nowadays. Most people who’ve heard of it think it’s either a hoax or actually damages a person. It’s now illegal to use. But why?

Almost all opposition to Laetrile is based on a 1953 report from the California Medical Association’s cancer commission that says Laetrile does not cure cancer. The report was written by Dr. Ian MacDonald and Dr. Henry Garland. This 1953 report cannot be trusted.

Neither of these men had personally experienced Laetrile. The report they wrote was full of deviations from the truth. The report said tumors were not destroyed by Laetrile when one of the pathologists conducting the experiment said Laetrile used during the experiment did destroy tumors. The report also said Laetrile does not release cyanide to kill cancer, but the AMA & California Food And Drug Lab proved it actually does release cyanide 2 months before the report was published.

Also, the patients tested received extremely small doses of Laetrile. A person usually needs to take about 30 grams of Laetrile before they can notice tangible improvements, and most doctors who used Laetrile administered it in injections of 3 grams. The entire experiment only used 2 grams of Laetrile and this was divided among all the patients. 5 patients received only 2 injects, and 5 received only one. That’s like writing a report saying that jogging isn’t a good way to lose weight because you jogged for about 20 meters and didn’t notice any difference.

It’s also worth mentioning that MacDonald and Garland were the doctors who claimed that there is no correlation between smoking cigarettes and developing lung cancer. On July 9, 1964, Garland spoke at a Public Health Forum sponsored by the city of San Francisco where he said “cigarettes being harmful is a widely held but unproven hypothesis. Cigarettes in moderation are actually good for you.” MacDonald was quoted in U.S. News and World Report saying “24 cigarettes a day is a harmless pasttime” and even went as far as to say “a pack a day keeps lung cancer away”. So shows how much integrity MacDonald and Garland have, and how seriously we should take them.

Another reason people think Laetrile is a hoax is because many people who used it had heard bad things about it, and used it as a last resort, when they were too damaged by cancer to recover. After these people died, they were counted as statistical failures for Laetrile.

It has been proven that Laetrile is 20x less poisonous than Aspirin and is even less poisonous than sucrose.

The basic truth about Laetrile is, yes it cures cancer. And it cures it very well.

Laetrile Vs. Other Cancer Treatments.

B17 can heal people with cancer if it is caught soon or if they aren’t irreversibly damaged by chemo, radiation, etc.

But what are the mainstream alternatives to Laetrile?***

First, cancer can be treated by surgically removing the tumor. Surgery can be very beneficial and effective sometimes. It also has the psychological benefit of physically removing the cancer. But surgery only works on non-malignant cancer. The long term rate of staying cancer free is only about 15%. But most of all, it doesn’t remove the cause of the tumors, it only removes the tumor itself.

Radiation attempts to burn the tumor out of existence. Exposure to radiation increases the likelihood of cancer and Leukemia by 60%. Radiation also physically damages the body, which destroys white blood cells, and prompts the body to use estrogen to heal it. And if any of that estrogen comes in contact with total life cells…well, you know what happens. Avoid this one.

Anti-cancer drugs are highly poisonous to cancer…but also to everything else in your body. They’re designed to mimic the effects of radiation. It includes all the bad parts of radiation, but this time, they spread this radiation all over the body. From the National Cancer Institute: “vomiting, hypertension, changes in mucous membranes, diarrhea. Post-mortem report shows cerebral edema.” Avoid at all costs.

By the numbers (from the National Cancer Institute & American Cancer Society & Laetrile records)

-A person who uses Laetrile to cure Advanced/Terminal cancer has a 15% chance of surviving, but someone who uses surgery, radiation, or anti-cancer drugs has a 0.1% of surviving.
-A person who uses Laetrile to cure Early cancer has an 80% chance of surviving, a person who uses surgery, radiation, or anti-cancer drugs has only a 15% chance of surviving.
-A person who doesn’t have cancer and eats foods with Vitamin B17 has a nearly 100% chance of surviving, while someone who doesn’t eat B17 only has an 84% chance of surviving.****

The rest of the video is divided into testimonials from Laetrile users, doctors who endorse Laetrile, and info about government & medical peer pressure not to use anything “unorthodox” to treat cancer and stay healthy.

The video concludes on a beautiful note: “When Vitamin B17 is as routinely used as a table seasoning in the same way salt and pepper are today, then we can say the battle has been won. Until then, that is our goal”

* I think this is another term for a stem cell.
** There’s no explanation in the video for why pancreatic cancer exists, but I’m sure there has to be one out there.
*** Since these are 35 years old, things could have changed by then.

Speaking about vitamin-deficiencies leading to cancer, adequate D3 is also inversely correlated with cancer. Just get enough morning sun and eat veggies, nuts and fish and your body will produce enough D3.

Watched the vid. Very intriguing.

Yes, but it is also illegal no?
Here in USA.

a great cancer resource site is cancertutor.com
They have much information about many good alternative cancer treatments.
There are many ways of approaching cancer, apparently. D3 or good old sunlight is supposed to be another good one.

I punctuated my post with emoticons for clarity and interest of course.

Hi loverainthunder! Man it seems like a whole host of people just showed up here. Thank you both for introducing me to this theory about D3, but LRT what do you think about what I posted, other than that it's illegal?

I've read (don't actually know) that it heals, but what do I think of it?
According to the alternative cancer sites I have read, there are many ways of healing cancer. http://www.cancertutor.com/Cancer/Laetrile.html

This is just another of the many ways people fight cancer, that has been deemed illegal by the fda. I think its a real and valid approach.
Frankly I think that many cancer healing therapies are being suppressed. There are other cheap ways people can fight cancer, but the info is not without stigma. Obviously only quacks can cure cancer. The real doctors poison you till the cancer dies first, hopefully.

Right now my toddler is working to actively suppress my right to free Internet usage. So I've got to go. Fight the power!

I've read about this too and its unfortunate that its difficult to obtain. What Loverainthunder says there are other alternatives too but they shouldn't make illegal.

um.

i think cancer is a lot more complex that this overview suggests. there is not "one" kind of cell that causes cancer. its true that cancer cells may behave like these trophoblasts.. but science has come far since 1902

we now know that many different mutations cause cancer; that indeed it takes around 7 accumulated mutations in a cell for cancer to proliferate, most notably in the genes that code for growth control and apoptosis. now, if you can show me that B17 such mutations from occurring, or aids the body in killing cells that harbor such mutations, you will have something.

Isn't it pretty to think so?

B-17 breaks down the cancer cell when the former's cyanide component interacts with a chemical component in all cancer cells.



Also, genetic engineering gives us another form of cancer therapy.

A friend of my mom's died of pancreatic cancer last year, and I read up on it and found out that in order to succumb to pancreatic cancer, one of your ancestors must have had it, thus suggesting a genetic link. According to the article I read, the gene responsible for passing on the propensity to having pancreatic cancer hasn't been found. But if diabetics are three times as likely to get pancreatic cancer, then couldn't the genetics of diabetes have something to do with it?

Now if there is something that many diabetics have in common, it's metabolic acidosis. In diabetics, metabolic acidosis occurs due to metabolic events caused by insulin insufficiency (see Diabetic Ketoacidosis). Blood in the human body has a normal pH between 7.35 and 7.45. A pH lower than 7.35 suggests acidosis.

Now the enzyme trypsin is activated in a solution with an alkaline pH (optimal level is ph 8 ). With metabolic acidosis of the blood, trypsin cannot function optimally. But when alkalinity is restored in the blood at normal body temperature, trypsin is suddenly activated.

So what I'm suggesting here is a simple chemical link between diabetes, metabolic acidosis, and pancreatic cancer. Well, maybe that's just my crude logic at work. But your article got me thinking anyway.

Lastly, I wanted to add that according to one study, when the cancer cell is raised to ph 8, "mitosis ceases and the life of the cell is short."



Cesium chloride is now being used by some individuals as part of an alternative therapy for late stage cancer.
