Eat APPLE PIPS to avoid cancer
Three cultures that never suffer cancer all have diets rich in this Vitamin that our own diet severely lacks
PLUS: How the seed of hope in your fear could offer an answer to your future
Which one of us does not now and again worry that we may one day develop cancer? And not without reason.
In the UK today, one in three of us are destined to develop it and one in four will statistically die of it. Yet there are cultures in the world - including the the Eskimos, the Hunzas, the Abkasians - that NEVER suffer from this horrible disease.
So what is going on, here?
Nutrition, we are told, is crucial. Yet there is one crucial vitamin that rarely gets a mention - yet some believe could hold THE answer to not only cancer prevention but even cancer cure.
Indeed, the medicinal form of this vitamin known as Laetrile, has already been developed as a cancer therapy. And in fact, there are some conspiracy theories around about the fact that the reason you cannot buy vitamin B17 as a Vitamin supplement is because the pharmaceutical companies want to safeguard their own profits…
Our own diets used to be rich in B17 - before we lost the taste for it
In the cancer-free cultures like the Hunzas from the Himalayas, perhaps the biggest nutritional difference to their diet is the high levels of vitamin B17 that it contains. Centuries ago when our own diets contained a lot of foods high in vitamin B17 including millet and wild fruit seeds, there was far less incidence of cancer here too.
In our modern age, however, we have almost completely wiped all sources of B17 from our diet because we do not like it’s bitter taste. In many foods, in fact, it has even been breed out through domestication.
Cancer cells died off like flies
On top of the mounting evidence for vitamin B17 as a powerful cancer prevention, I have also discovered some startling research undertaken by Dr Dean Burk, former head of Cytochemistry at the National Cancer Institute in the US. Here’s what he said about the laboratory worked they carried out:
“When we added Laetrile (a medicinal form of Vitamin B17) to a cancer culture… we can see the cancer cells dying off like flies.”
So how can you add this potential life-saver to your diet?
Perhaps the easiest way to get vitamin B17 is to eat the seeds of an apple a day. As they do contain a trace of cyanide, however, don’t go overboard and eat loads of apple pips at a time. Also make sure that you chew them before swallowing otherwise they will just go straight through you…
Other sources include:
Wild blackberries
Apricot kernels (can be bought).
Pear seeds.
Broad beans and mung beans (sprouted best)
Millet.
Maize.
Linseed
Bitter almonds
Some in macadamia and cashew nuts
Sesame seeds
Alfalfa sprouts
Rye
Bamboo shoots
Cassava/tapioca
And some in brown rice
How the seed of hope in your fear could offer an answer to your future
My second thought for today is completely unrelated in content but the idea of kernels being good for you reminded me of something I read a month or so again and that really struck me.
The idea is that in any fear that we may suffer there is always a seed or kernel of hope. Taking a closer look at whatever it is we fear - whether it is social situations, the future, challenges to our abilities, love or other - may teach us more about what it is that we crave.
When you examine your fear, take care of and nurture the seed of hope that you find there. Concentrate on that hope and aim to get for it what it desires. Whenever you feel fear, look for love instead and the bravery you need to step up and over it.
What is worse? Feeling the fear and doing it anyway - or missing out on what you want because your fear stops you from getting it?
And don’t forget to eat your apple pips!
