The pharmaceutical companies pounced on this claim immediately and demanded that FDA studies be conducted. The results of these studies are found on this site and in a book called "World Without Cancer", by G. Edward Griffin. To order the book call 877-479-3466.
"
Worldwithoutcancer.org.uk does not promote laetrile, nor any of the products mentioned herein, as a cure for cancer. All of the products we mention are regarded metabolic agents or vitamins used in nutritional therapy and prevention. Our information, as well as success stories, comes from journals and letters written by medical doctors and people who have used metabolic therapy and who wish to share their experiences with others. It is important to realise that one must exercise caution in evaluating them. We share them with you, not to suggest that you will have the same experiences as the authors, but because we feel you have a right to make your own evaluation."
Well that's reassuring.

Have you ever eaten an apricot seed? It's generally called a pit and I'm betting you can't bite through it. Oh, and look, you CAN buy them. Did you ever consider that just as the FDA makes money off of their drugs so do these people make money off of these apricot "seeds". Why don't you check out Dr. Mercola, Kevin Trudeau, and sadly, the great Deapak Chopra. I'm sure they would agree on your apricot cure theory. They sell all sorts of garbage as well.
And, while we're at it, did you know that HIV doesn't cause AIDS!
For a limited time only you can buy the real cure for AIDS!!
I don't use drugs, and I've no doubt the FDA is a money machine as you suggest. But I'm also not an idiot who buys apricot seeds because a single book says so.
I suggest you learn a little about cancer before believing these wonderful, miracle cures. Cancer is not at all like scurvy. Scurvy is caused as a result of not enough vitamin C. Cancer is caused by damaged DNA. You can't just eat a vitamin and have it fix the DNA. If anything you can boost your immune system to fight and kill the already mutated cells. While your eating your apricot seeds you may also want to have a healthy diet, exercise, and plenty of sleep; as these are what's going to help.
Where's Skinwalker when you need him?
Well it's good to know that if I'd ever rather eat an apricot pit instead of an apricot than I can just buy some online.
Oh and one last thing, you want to know what kind of people are the target of "WorldWithoutCancer"?
I found this on their website.
