B17 or Amygdalin is derived from the seeds of the bitter almonds tree, though it can also be found in the seeds or stones of fruit such as apricots, peaches and plums, and in other vegetables and nuts. It is claimed that taking a daily dose of this vitamin can help to prevent some cancers.

Is vitamin b17 a cure for cancer and why are drug companies hiding it?

There is no vitamin B17. The term is inaccurately applied to laetrile, a discredited cancer drug, and amygdalin, the natural substance from which laetrile is made. Amygdalin occurs in the seeds of apricot, peaches, and almonds. Despite the lack of proof that laetrile/amygdalin works, promoters have continued to make unwarranted claims for it, referring to it as vitamin B17 and selling it as a dietary supplement to prevent, as well as treat, cancer and claims that these compounds can prevent and treat high blood pressure and arthritis. There is no scientific studies supporting those claims. One laetrile-related theory holds that cancer is a vitamin deficiency and that the missing vitamin is B17. To fit the accepted scientific definition of a vitamin, a substance must be proven to be essential to achieving or maintaining good health. There is no need for amygdalin or laetrile in human nutrition. In fact, instead of helping you, it may hurt you: laetrile and amygdalin can be converted to cyanide in the body, and laetrile use has been linked to several cases of cyanide toxicity. According to the American Cancer Society (ACS) one case report suggests that vitamin C may increase the amount of cyanide released from laetrile in the body, raising this risk. In addition, the ACS warns that individuals who also eat raw almonds or crushed fruit pits while taking laetrile and those who eat fruits and vegetables that contain the enzyme beta-glucosidase (such as celery, peaches, bean sprouts, and carrots) are more likely to experience toxicity. You don't need "vitamin B17" to prevent cancer, to treat cancer or to prevent any other health problem, and you certainly don't need it to maintain good health. ~Weil

What is Vitamin B17 (Amygdalin)?

Vitamin B17 in its most natural form is called Amygdalin. It is a natural compound of crystalline chemical nature and bitter taste. Amygdalin is a Greek work derived from almonds because it was first extracted from bitter almonds in 1830. A theory by an ancient embryologist, John Beard, supports the fact that cancer is actually caused by the unwanted and unpredicted growth of those cells which lead to placenta genesis.
