             Laetrile Is An Effective Treatment For Cancer
            
             Many people in the world today suffer from various forms of cancer. Some
            
             types are carcinoma, leukemia, sarcoma, lymphoma, and melanoma. One out of
            
             three of us will develop cancer in our lifetime. That is eighty-eight million people in
            
             the United States alone. And according to the American Cancer Society, 1.3 million
            
             new cases of cancer were diagnosed in 1996 and more than 555,000 died from it.

             to cancer treatment that has been around for quite a while. It is called laetrile, and I
            
             believe it has a positive effect on cancer patients.
            
             About thirty years ago, people in the United States had heard rumors that the
            
             mystery of cancer had been solved by a free apricot seed, apple seed, or any food
            
             with the vitamin B-17 in it. During 1950 after many years of research, a dedicated
            
             biochemist by the name of Dr. Ernest T. Krebs, Jr., isolated a new vitamin that he
            
             numbered B-17 and called Laetrile. As the years rolled by, thousands became
            
             convinced that Krebs had finally found the ...
