It is said that there are millions of cancerous cells growing within everyone of us daily, but our immune system attacks and destroys them. When the immune system is compromised, cancer takes off. Cancer is the result of an immune system dysfunction.

This page will inform one of the original goals of medicine and healing with reference to the great physicians of all-time.

Hippocrates was the Father of Medicine. The Hippocratic Oath is an oath taken by all present day doctors who are licensed:

Hippocrates: Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food.

This statement made by the Father of Medicine, Hippocrates, was intended to be an eternal guide for doctors and healers in their quests for answers to plaguing diseases. The protocol for present day doctors is either chemo or radiation and variations thereof.


We can only reason that primordial man, living close to nature in a wild state, must have observed the habits and instincts of animals, and if so, he must have learned much about the curative virtues of herbs because of the remarkable instinct of present day animals who unquestionably know the herbs that heal them. From the highest to the lowest crawling animal, they all seem to know their remedies. Even the snake, the lowest and perhaps least intelligent of them, knows his remedy. When he casts his skin, he goes blind, and in that helpless condition he has often been seen to crawl to an old fallen tree of a mossy bank. He rubs his sightless orbs in the moss, eats the rich juice, and with that one herb he restores both his skin and his sight.

When the little mongoose is stung while fighting venomous snakes in India, he immediately leaves the fight, dashes into the jungle, and finds an herb, eats it, and rubs the poisoned part in its juices. Then he returns to kill the snake and, according to the testimony of thousands of witnesses, no mongoose has ever died of snake bite.

When hawks and carrion birds peck at the eyes of young birds of another nest, and when the eyes have not been totally destroyed, the mother of that nest has been seen to anoint her babies' eyes with the juice of the leaves of the greater celandine herb, Chelidonium majus. It has been recorded that the films and opacities have been removed and the bird's eyes completely restored to sight.

These are just three of thousands of incidences in nature denoting the marvelous instinctual knowledge of animals in the selection of their remedies.

When a monkey is sick of a possible cancer, he is seen peeling off the fruit of the peach down to the pit and cracking the pit open and devouring the bitter seed inside, which is full of the nitriloside we call vitamin B17. Similarly when a dog is sick he is seen eating the grasses that have high contents of B17. The bears eat the vissula, high in B17, as well as hundreds of other similar cases.

Indeed, it is positively certain that none of the eminent new schools of the present day have been nearly as successful in curing disease than were Hippocrates, Galen and Sydenham. Meantime, however, there have arisen a bright galaxy of names - scholars, doctors etc. - as ever adorned any age of the world, devoting themselves to the practice of medicine, but who fail to get the grand results anticipated.  All their learning and their multitudinous writing have only served to make confusion more confounded, and all because they have neglected to follow the dictates of nature and plain common sense in maintaining the herbal practice as the only true and philosophical foundation of the healing art.

During 1950 after many years of research, a dedicated biochemist by the name of Dr. Ernst T. Krebs, Jr., isolated a new vitamin that he numbered B17 and called 'Laetrile'. As the years rolled by, thousands became convinced that Krebs had finally found the complete control for all cancers, a conviction that even more people share today. Back in 1950 Ernst Krebs could have had little idea of the hornet's nest he was about to stir up. The pharmaceutical multinationals, unable to patent or claim exclusive rights to the vitamin, launched a propaganda attack of unprecedented viciousness against B17, despite the fact that hard proof of its efficiency in controlling all forms of cancer surrounds us in overwhelming abundance.  

In his brilliantly researched 1974 book "World Without Cancer", researcher and author G. Edward Griffin explains the trophoblastic theory of cancer proposed by Professor John Beard of Edinburgh University, which states that certain pre-embryonic cells in pregnancy differ in no discernible way from highly-malignant cancer cells. Edward Griffin continues:

"The trophoblast in pregnancy indeed does exhibit all the classical characteristics of cancer. It spreads and multiplies rapidly as it eats its way into the uterus wall preparing a place where the embryo can attach itself for maternal protection and nourishment."  

The trophoblast is formed in a chain reaction by another cell that Griffin simplifies down to the 'total life' cell, which has the total capacity to evolve into any organ or tissue, or a complete embryo. When the total life cell is triggered into producing trophoblast by contact with the hormone estrogen, present in both males and females, one of two different things happens. In the case of pregnancy the result is conventional development of a placenta and umbilical cord. If the trophoblast is triggered as part of a healing process however, the result is cancer or, as Edward Griffin cautions: "To be more accurate, we should say it is cancer if the healing process is not terminated upon completion of its task."

Stunning proof of this claim is readily available. All trophoblast cells produce a unique hormone called the chorionic gonadotrophic (CGH) which is easily detected in urine. Thus if a person is either pregnant or has cancer, a simple CGH pregnancy test should confirm either or both. It does, with an accuracy of better than 92% in all cases. If the urine sample shows positive it means either normal pregnancy or abnormal malignant cancer. Griffin notes: "If the patient is a woman, she either is pregnant or has cancer. If he is a man, cancer can be the only cause." So why all of the expensive, dangerous biopsies carried to 'detect' cancerous growths? One can only assume that medicare pays doctors a larger fee for biopsies than pregnancy tests.

So how is it that any of us gets cancer in the first place. Is it exposure to cigarette smoking, intense sunlight or perhaps the effect of toxic food additives? Dr. Krebs thinks not. All of the hard iochemical evidence points to the fact that cancer is a simple deficiency disease of vitamin B17, long ago removed from our highly refined, western diets. Krebs postulates that the so-called 'carcinogens' are merely stress triggers that finally expose the B17 deficiency with devastating effect.

The proof Krebs has presented over the years to support his claim is impressive. Centuries ago we used to eat millet bread, rich in B17, but now we chew our way through wheat which has none at all. For generations our grandmothers used to carefully crush the seeds of plums, green grapes, cherries, apples, apricots and other members of the botanical family Rosaceae, and diligently mix them with their home made jams and preserves. Grandma probably didn't know why she was doing it, but the seeds of all these fruits are the most potent source of B17 in the world. In the tropics, large quantities of B17 are found in cassava, also known as tapioca. When did you last eat some?

Independent research has also proved that a Himalayan tribe known as the 'Hunza' never contract cancer of any kind so long as they stick to their native diet which is exceptionally high in both apricots and millet. However, once exposed to western diets they become as vulnerable as the rest of us.

The implications of these findings are staggering of course. If we managed to control Scurvy (vitamin C deficiency) centuries ago, how is it we cannot do the same for cancer today? The fact of the matter is that we could if our respective governments would allow it. Unfortunately most governments have buckled under the pressure exerted by the pharmaceutical multinationals, the American Food & Drug Administration, and the American Medical Association. All three have mounted highly successful 'scare' campaigns based on the fact that vitamin B17 contains quantities of 'deadly' cyanide; conveniently forgetting that vitamin B12 also contains significant quantities of cyanide, and has long been available in health food shops world-wide.

Dr. Kreb's B17 Laetrile was derived from apricot seeds and then synthesized into crystalline form using his own unique process. Suddenly, the American FDA bombarded the media with a story about an unfortunate couple who had poisoned themselves by eating raw apricot seeds in San Francisco. The story made headline news across the U.S.A. although several suspicious journalists never managed to establish the identity of the unfortunate couple, despite many determined attempts. But the multinational pharmaceutical/FDA boot had been put in with a vengeance. From that point onwards eating apricot seeds or B17 Laetrile became synonymous with committing suicide.

Back in the fifties, Dr. Ernst Krebs proved beyond doubt that B17 was completely harmless to humans in the most convincing way possible. After testing the vitamin on animals, he filled a large hypodermic with a mega-dose which he then injected into his own arm! Drastic perhaps, but the adventurous Dr. Krebs is still alive and well today.

The vitamin is harmless to healthy tissue for a very simple reason: Each molecule of B17 contains one unit of cyanide, one unit of benzaldehyde and two of glucose (sugar) tightly locked together. In order for the cyanide to become dangerous it is first necessary to 'unlock' the molecule to release it, a trick that can only be performed by an enzyme called beta-glucosidase. This enzyme is present all over the body in minute quantities, but in huge quantities (up to 100 times as high) at cancerous tumour sites.

Thus the cyanide is released only at the cancer site with drastic results, which become utterly devastating to the cancer cells because the benzaldehyde unit also unlocks at the same time. Benzaldehyde is a deadly poison in its own right, which then acts synergistically with the cyanide to produce a poison 100 times more deadly than either in isolation. The combined effect on the cancer cells is best left to the imagination.

But what about danger to the rest of the body's cells? Another enzyme, rhodanese, always present in larger quantities than the unlocking enzyme beta-glucosidase in healthy tissues has the easy ability to completely break down both cyanide and benzaldehyde into beneficial body products. Predictably perhaps, malignant cancer cells contain no rhodanese at all, leaving them completely at the mercy of the cyanide and benzaldehyde.

Any physician reading this article will probably be shaking with self-righteous indignation at this stage, muttering to himself: 'Yes, but where is the PROOF???'   Right here! Most people have heard of 'spontaneous remission', where the cancer simply goes away, hopefully never to reappear. Spontaneous remissions are exceedingly rare and vary from one form of cancer to another. One virulent variety known as testicular chorionepithelioma has never been known to produce a single spontaneous remission. Perhaps for that precise reason, Dr. Krebs singled it out for special attention when proving the effectiveness of B17 Laetrile in providing total control for cancers. As Edward Griffin recounts:

"In a banquet speech in San Francisco on November 19, 1967, Dr. Ernst T. Krebs, Jr., briefly reviewed six such cases. Then he added:   Now there is an advantage in not having had prior radiation, because if you have not received prior radiation that has failed, then you cannot enjoy the imagined benefits of the delayed effects of prior radiation. So this boy falls into the category of the "spontaneous regression... "

And when we look at this scientifically, we know that spontaneous regression occurs in fewer than one in 150,000 cases of cancer. The statistical possibility of spontaneous regression accounting for the complete resolution of successive cases of testicular chorionepithelioma is far greater than the statistical improbability of the sun not rising tomorrow morning."

Wisely perhaps, Griffin notes that because of the adverse publicity against B17 Laetrile, and because of the difficulties in obtaining the 'banned' substance, most cancer sufferers turn to the vitamin as a last resort, long after they have been burned by radiation therapy, and/or poisoned by chemotherapy. He points out that once the body organs have been savagely damaged in this way, there is little if any chance of B17 Laetrile being able to effect a cure. The body is simply too far gone.

When "World Without Cancer" was written back in 1974, B17 Laetrile was freely available in Australia. It is not now. A recent check with the Australian Cancer Foundation and health authorities revealed that nowadays Canberra considers each individual case on its merits, then decides whether the patient should be allowed to import sufficient of the material for his or her own personal use. If he or she manages to jump that hurdle, it is then his or her own responsibility to find a doctor prepared to inject it. Seemingly the multinational pharmaceutical lobbyists managed to get to our politicians before Dr. Krebs could get to the Australian public. Radiation and chemotherapy are highly profitable, and oncologists have to make a decent living...

Only a few months ago Australian nationwide television carried the delightful information that two out of every three Australians can expect to suffer skin cancer at least once during their lifetimes. On the massive evidence provided by Dr. Ernst Krebs, Jr. and G. Edward Griffin, that figure could be crushed to a tiny percentage of the anticipated numbers if Australians were allowed freedom of choice where B17 Laetrile is concerned. It is time for Australians to take a stand on this lethal issue.

The following protocol is that used by some of the hospitals in Tijuana, (Del Rio Hospital supplied us with this information.) The Del Rio Hospital or clinic claims nearly a 100% recovery rate with those who have not yet been burned up with chemo and radiation with large amounts of organ damage.  Del Rio Hospital has a 21 day therapy in which we include the typhoid vaccine, the B17 (9 grams per day), Pancreatic enzymes, vitamin C and the actual whole foods that contain the B17 and the pancreatic enzymes (apricot seeds and pineapple juice) No other clinic or hospital in the world uses this powerful protocol, just parts of it.

Del Rio hospital has been the orthodox relative of Cydel Clinic. It has opened its doors to alternative medicine making use of the accumulated experience of it's directors and doctors of over more than 25 years. The great Dr. Manner pioneered these clinics.

Therapies

Del Rio has been pioneers of the metabolic therapies thought up by/conceived by/ idled by Dr Harold W. Manner in that is followed and achieved with much success a balance of the metabolic to achieve that the body defend itself.

The "Manner Cocktail" consists of a low drip infusion of 9 grams of B17(Laetrile) and 25 grams of vitamin C conducted by 5cc of DMSO as a carrier that transports all of this to the last cell, as well as enzymatic therapies at macro doses of vitamin A.  In addition to the utilization of a number of product, even though these may be at their experimental phase in the United States, here we count with a vast experience. The proceeding is a 21 day treatment. Following the first three weeks, one should take approx. 3grams (3000mg) of vitamin B17 per day in tablet form for 3 months.

As a Preventative

Dr. Krebs asserts that 7 apricot seeds per day will make it impossible to develop cancer in one's life time. One or two Vitamin B17 tablets (100mg) is an acceptable supplemental dosage per day.

In the administration of Amygdalin (Vitamin B17), Dr. Manner was one of the pioneering doctors in alternative medicine using Vitamin B17(Laetrile) .  He uses 9grams of the injectable B17 per day for 21 days. Due to possible gastric upset 6-10 tablets are recommended if you are not opting the injectable form for the first month. It is imperative to eat the seeds along with the treatment. Dr. Krebs believes that the whole food is the most important factor. 3-6 seeds per waking hour should be chewed and consumed every other day for the first month. Dr. Manner used in his slow drip therapy an enzyme that is derived from pineapples and/or papaya. The pancreatic enzyme that is found in the pineapple and papaya is necessary to burn away the cancer cell wall for the B17 to more effectively get in and destroy the malignant cell. Pancreatic enzymes can be purchased at any health food store, just ask. After the initial month of treatment a maintenance dose of three 500mg tablets per day should be maintained.

Gerson Therapy

The Gerson therapy has proved effective. This therapy consists of an eight ounce glass of fruit and vegetable juice per hour. Colonics and chelation are also included. This is only a very brief note about Gerson's Therapy, please research for specifics. One of the reasons the juice is important while taking the Vitamin B17 is for the purpose of carrying out the dead cancer cells from the body. The cancer can die so quickly as to try to come out through the skin, besides the urine and bowels. Remember that the skin is the largest organ in the body and if the cancer is dying rapidly it will come out through the sweat glands causing hives and rashes. (the preceding is a good sign yet can cause discomfort.) These therapies are only allowed in Mexico even though their success rate is far superior to the U.S. Hospital's conventional methods. It is quite easy for a cancer patient to follow similar therapies in their own home at a fraction of the cost.
