It is said to help in the cure and prevention of many illnesses, including cancer.
Also avoiding sugar (sadly) & GMOs, pesticide, etc. will help with prevention. (Try a cleanse or enema for a good detox!)
I've been watching some good videos on the subject lately. (If interested, you can see one of them HERE on YouTube.)
As for more on the Apricot Kernels, I've had a little nausea taking them sometimes. Just start with a few at a time.
You can also buy organic apricots and eat the fruit as well as the kernel inside the seed (fresher & won't need as many).
Just open the apricot (or peach) seed with a nutcracker. Eating the fruit with the kernel helps prevent the nauseated feeling.
Another proof that 'whole foods' are best. God made them to be eaten as an entire 'package'.
If you have a high-powered blender such as a Vitamix, it's easy to make a smoothie that includes the seed or kernel.
Bitter almonds are another seed nut that has the amygdalin as well as apple, peach, and grape seeds.
Just blend grape or apple including seeds with other fruit such as banana, orange and/or pineapple.
I often make 'ORBAPPI' Juice (Orange, Banana, Apple, Pineapple) and include the Apple Seeds.
With this smoothie, you get lots of Fiber, Vitamin C, Potassium, Enzymes (Bromelain), Amygdalin, and much more.
I've been having good results lately by also including the Daily Multi Detox from RenewLife.
They have a good fiber bar, too, that's guaranteed for a very 'happy morning'. : )
These both help to clear a lot of 'toxins' out of your system. A good fiber supplement can also help.
As one health speaker puts it, "Most 'dis-ease' is a result of a deficiency and/or toxicity."
So, getting the most toxins out, and letting the least toxins in, is more than half the battle.
With deficiency, a healthy diet is essential, as well as a good natural multi-vitamin.
One all-natural vitamin that is made from whole foods is by a company called MegaFood.
The article excerpt below is from the 'AntiCancerInfo' site and contains more helpful cancer-fighting tips:
WHY EAT APRICOT KERNELS?
Apricot kernels are, like most nuts and seeds, very nutritious. Among the nutrients they contain is one called amygdalin, which is also known as vitamin B17. This attacks cancer cells, and thus can help prevent cancer from breaking out in our bodies.
Amygdalin (vitamin B17) is contained in many hundreds of foods, but ones that are particularly rich in amygdalin have disappeared to a large extent from our Western diet. Peoples throughout the world who still eat a traditional diet, have been found to be largely free from cancer. These diets are rich in foods containing amygdalin.
Apart from apricot kernels, examples of other amygdalin rich foods are bitter almonds (amygdalin tastes bitter - sweet almonds do not contain it, and apricot kernels that are not bitter do not contain it).
Other foods containing amygdalin are apple pips, grape seeds, millet, broad beans, most berries, cassava and many other seeds, beans, pulses and grains - but not ones that have been highly hybridised (African orange pips contain some amygdalin, but American ones don't, wheat is low in amygdalin).
There are many ways you can fight cancer. One is to build up the immune system so that it is very strong. Another is to supplement with antioxidants which fight carcinogens in the body. However, amygdalin seems to be unique in the way that it directly attacks cancer cells.
