HOW VITAMIN B-17 WORKS
This page presents a paper originated by Dr. Charles Gurchot, MD that shows how the components of B-17 (laetrile) operates to destroy cancer cells.
Also I will list some more links (dozens were given as References in my blog yesterday which I allowed to stay another day because of it’s volume. But now I will give you some links to good websites to look up. READ them
Dr. Ernst Krebs was the world’s leading authority on the relationship between cancer and nitrilosides, and the inventor of laetrile, Dr. Krebs His books are available from Barnes & Noble, or any large bookstore, or on the Interenet, you can also find G. Edward Griffin’s book “World Without Cancer”. Also available from “Health World”, and on the Internet.
Dr. Ernst Krebs discussion of the “Trophoblast Theory” of Cancer
Also Dr. Krebs discussion of “Trophoblasts and Morning Sickness”,
And his discussion of the Metabolism of Nitrilosides (Vitamin B-17)
Charles Burchot’s explanation of “How Vitamin B-17 Works”, by
Dr.Charles Gurchot, Ph.D.

(2nd Edition just out) -Two excellent books, by Researcher Bill Henderson,
Back to Dr. Charles Gurchot, Ph.D, he expaines, “Oraldoses of Vitamin B-17 seem not to be much affected by the action of the acid medium of the stomach, but pass into the intestine where the substance is acted upon by bacterial enzymes.
In the intestine rhe enzyme complex Emulsin containing the enzymes Beta-glucosidase, Benzocyanase, and others,. Degrades thw Amygdalin into four components; Hydrocyanic acid, Benzaldehyde, Prunasin. And Mandeionitrile, which are absorbed into the lymph and portal circulations.
Cyanide is converted to thiocyanate probably in the blood circulation, and certainly in the liver by the enzyme Rhodanese in the presence of sulfur-bearing compounds, 1, 2.
The circulating thiocyanate exerts certain physiological effects on blood pressure and thyroid action, and is not excreted rapidly. (In the absence of the enzyme or sulfur, the cyanide may form cyano-hemoglobin.)
In cancer patients some thiocycanate finds the way to the site of the cancer lesion.
The benzaldehyde formed in the intestines probably has no important function, but in the circulation forms benzoic acid and is excreted as benzaldehyde hippurate.
Prunasan may also be changed in the liver to Mandelonitrile glucuronoside. This conversion to the glucuoronoside may take place in two different ways: 10 by combing with glucuronic acid, which would remove one more suygar molecule; 2.) by oxidation of yjr terminal alcohol group of the prunasin glucose molecule.
The mandelonitrile is absorbed from the intestine, going directly to the liver where it is convertedby the detoxification mechanism of joining it to a glucuronic acid. It may then be excreted as the glucuronide or find its way tomthe site of a malignant lesion.
Glucosidic enzymes at the lesion may hydrolyze prunasin into its components cyanide, benzaldehyde, and a glucose moclecue., to interfere with tissue respiration. In the process of enzyme hydrlysis pure mandelonitrile, as an intermediate step, may be released.
Mandelonitrile of itself may undergo spontaneous hydrolysis to HCN and benzaldehyde or enzymatic decomposition by henzocyanase present in the emulsion complex.
Mandelonitrile glucuronide may be hydolysed at the tumor site by beta-glucuronidase to yield HCN, benzaldehyde and glucuonic acid
Benzaldehyde released through these processes at the site of the malignant lesion may be reduced to benzyl alcohol and combine with the thiocyanate to form benzothiocyanate. The compind is further reduced to a thio-alcohol, benzo mercaptain, and hydrocyanic acid. In this manner HCN response reappears and may continue to do so in a cyclic manner until the intracellular conditions that permit the reaction invoilved in the cycle are no longer operative.
These phenomena would explain the synergistic effect of berzaldehyde and cyanide in depressing the metabolism of mouse tumor slices in the Warburg apparatus. (Dean Burk)
In the absence of rhodanese the cyanide probably exerts its lethal effects on cell respiration which is relatively small in cancer cells, by interference with the cytochrome oxidase enzymes.
Cyanide, either as such, or as mandelonitrile , may combine with glucose to form cyanoglucose, which on hydrolysis, forms a glucuronide.heptos anatogous to gluconic acid, which would be excreted, or dehydrogenated.to heptose, which also would be excreted. The condition for this transformation exists in cancer tissue and would constitute anti-gluconeogenesis.

What does all this tell us? I think there is adequate proof to believe B-17 is a cure for cancer; also the date of that scientific evaluation of B-17 has not been read by your family doctor since 1973 (?) –that is 34 years ago! This is more than a “cover up”; this truth has been “buried”, even after being printed in the Physicians Handbook the book all doctors use for reference!.
Tomorrow I will give a brief summary of the above, which will be easier to understand (if you do not understand the chemistry terms used above) IT was explained to me personally by the greatest Oncologist who was here in the Philippines, the late Dr. Manuel Navarro, who saved my life with use of B-17 beginning 17 years ago in 1989. I hope in the above you will excuse if I may have made sny spelling errors with all the big chemical words.
May God bless you with restored energy and health
