Hi all,

I, like most people here probably, came home from the bad news and started to look for information on the net.

Apart the medical documents and sites there is an abundance of sites refering to people being cured and tumours shrinking after taking apricot seeds and /or latriele. has anyone any thoughts on why there are so many people advocating something like apricot seeds.

I know there are a thousand and one people ready to sell an elixir of life for a quick buck but why is there so much attention seemingly on a single subject such as this?

Anyways, good luck to all
and
kindest regards

Paul

Paul, you forgot to mention coral calcium. I think you know that this is bunk. If it were a real cure, it would be headline news the world over. Check out http://www.quackwatch.org

If I sound a tad crabby, it is because I knew a person who chose that route over conventional treatment, to no good end.

The Mexican clinic where Coretta Scott King went for last ditch treatment of ovarian cancer, where she died, was closed down by the Mexican government. The physician in charge had run previous business ventures of that ilk, which had also been closed down involuntarily.

Unfortunately, there will always be desperate and vulnerable people willing to pay with their last dime for a cure, so you can find many so-called cures on the net and in the backs of magazines. Just like the advertisements for "guaranteed" body part enlargers, in the end, it is all bunk.

Here's the whole scoop about Coretta and her quack doctor south of the border.

PLEASE no more Laetrile, apricots etc. ! THEY DON'T WORK. Buy sugar pills if you must have a placebo - they're a lot cheaper - try gummy bears...
