I’ve come across information about Laetrile, also known as vitamin B17, and its proposed use in cancer treatment. Could you explain what Laetrile is, how it is believed to work, and what the current scientific consensus is regarding its effectiveness and safety in treating cancer?
Laetrile (B17) is a controversial holistic therapy derived from amygdalin, a compound found in certain fruits and nuts. Advocates of laetrile believe it has potent anticancer properties, as it releases cyanide specifically within cancer cells, causing their destruction.
While scientific evidence supporting its efficacy is limited, many individuals turn to laetrile as part of a holistic approach to cancer treatment, seeking alternatives to conventional therapies. However, it's important to approach laetrile with caution due to potential safety concerns, including cyanide toxicity.
