The Studies on Laetrile
No controlled clinical trials which compare groups of patients who received laetrile and those who didn't have ever been reported.
In 1962 a study was done on 10 people and the results showed a decrease in swelling and tumor size. The study also showed that Laetrile worked well as a pain reliever. However there was no long-term follow-up done to confirm the positive effectiveness of Laetrile.
Benzaldehyde was tested in 2 clinical studies on patients with advanced cancer who had not responded to Chemotherapy. Some of these patients recovered completely with all signs and symptoms of cancer completely gone.
There have also been other reports of case studies where the patients recovered when given Laetrile and Chemo.
Yet other reports and studies done by the National Cancer Society conclude that laetrile had little or no effect on cancer.
The Truth
The truth is many people were helped with laetrile in small clinics and these clinics were gaining popularity over the larger government hospitals approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Many people were cured, and thus the FDA and large pharmaceutical companies were losing money on not being able to dispense conventional medicine as they pleased and therefore these clinics were shut down and eventually laetrile became illegal.
Many physicians who used Laetrile on their patients were prosecuted and many clinics ended moving to Mexico. As a result to this day people from Canada and the United States travel to Mexico to receive cancer treatment.
It sounds unimaginable and unreal that an organization such as the FDA would keep a cure for cancer or any other disease from the people. But think about it in terms of money. If the FDA would allow for this natural Vitamin B-17 to exist, people would not need any medicine when sick, but could turn to natural foods which one can pick up at the grocery store.
There would be no need for painkillers, Chemotherapy or many other drugs which are on the market today. For more information visit the sites below.
