My alternative doctor told me to take 5 3 times a day for 2 days, then 6 3 times a day for 2 days, then 7 etc until I reached 10 3 times a day.I don't know yet if they are doing me any good but they certainly have not done me any harm. Number4 Sun, 06 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT Hi bobtail!My Dad who is remission from stomach cancer to the liver takes 20 seeds a day. He breaks it up throughout the day though.Five after each meal and 5 before bed. You should take them with a tall glass of water.My husband and myself take 7 for preventive and our three children each take one a day. My dog also takes one a day. He chews his which is really gross because they are bitter. We grind them in a coffee grinder and take them with water or juice.  My dad sometimess puts them in yogurt or in cereal.I also have alot of family and friends that take them for preventive. saucey Sun, 06 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT On 7/6/2008 bobtail wrote:Has anyone used apricot kernels for cancer treatment?

Apricot seeds are banned in the USA and if you do find them in health food stores then they are the dried ones with all the healthy enyzmes taken out. You need to get the raw sundried kind.                                                           Take Care               saucey Sun, 06 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT  On 7/6/2008 saucey wrote:Hi bobtail!  I just want to add , be sure to order your seeds from a reliable source online.

I’m going to use it as other cancer patient have use they told me if you eat a one pound pack you would die of cyanide poisoning but you be throwing up long before that.  the cancer patient say they had some good results just taking a small amount say 7  a day  taken any more would be in excess, the internet  Wikipedia encyclopedia say “ that the product Laetrile (amygdalins) that is made from apricot kernels contain more cyanide then the apricot kernels and may produce nausea, fever, rash, hive nose, headaches, insomnia, increased thirst, weakness, lethargy, nervousness, various aches and pains in joints and muscles, a drop in blood pressure.”  But In there raw form the apricot kernels are  not the same as Laetrile (amygdalin)  there’s are product maid from the apricot kernels A clinical trial of Laetrile (amygdalins) showed they had almost no effect on cancer this is because Laetrile (amygdalin)  is just one of a thousand deferent camicales, and camical, compounds found  in the apricot kernels Cancer and there has never been a trial on  apricot kernels as it a food additive but patient that I know who are on the Kernels say  they  have grate success with it. One care giver on this site said her father got over his  cancer using it and now the whole family are using the kernels she said her father now takes 7 apricot kernel a day let me know how it gos  if you want to  learn more about  how it works I found a site at   http://www.laetrile.com.au/copy.asp?sect=q1&page=howdoes    Take care, and God bless Ray jcr65566 Sun, 06 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT  On 7/6/2008 bobtail wrote:Has anyone used apricot kernels for cancer treatment? I bought some and wonder if 10 kernels per day would be sufficient, some say they can kill you and some say they fight cancer /need helpbobtailPLEASE,PLEASE, do not waste your money.  My husband Chris was diagnosed with sclc last July.  He's taken  between 30 and 40 kernels a day since then, all through the chemo and radiation therapy and,  for the last 8 months, since treatment finished.  The cancer has spread to his neck and has now gone to his  brain. He is still taking them,  even though its obvious they have not done any good whatsoever. Thoughout all this he's stayed cheerful and positive, he's been absolutely unbelievable and it' s not because he's in denial either. I suppose people could say he's still here because of the kernels, but I honestly don't think they did anything at all.  I know people will take anything in the hope that it will cure them, but I think it's cruel that other people will play on this desperation for a cure.  I myself have trawled the internet in the hope that there will be something out there that will cure my husband.   Thoughout this search I've never come across anyone who has taken kernels and is around now and shouting about it from the rooftops.  Sorry to have gone on a bit , hope this helps.  Best of luck.
