Not Talking About The B17 Bomber Plane

If you are trying to stay healthy, you are probably trying to eat the right foods and exercise. Plus, you are probably doing everything you can to try not to get sick. You have likely heard that you can prevent cancer through the use of apricot seeds, so you have been giving that a try.

However, if you are like a small percentage of people, you may be having a problem with the apricot seeds stomach - upset and nausea. There are some people who simply cannot tolerate eating raw apricot seeds. These people and you may have tried all of the common suggestions, such as eating only a few seeds at a time, introducing the seeds with food on the stomach (or, conversely, without food on the stomach), and mixing the ground-up apricot seeds with food before eating them.

For a lot of people, these suggestions help but, for a small percentage of people, they don't. These people have to stop eating the raw apricot seeds and instead must start taking vitamin B17 tablets. While this isn't the preferred method of getting amygdalin into the body to prevent cancer (the raw source is always best), it will work.

How many seeds = 1 tablet?

When switching from taking apricot seeds to taking vitamin B17 tablets, it can get confusing trying to figure out how many tablets to take. After all, it isn't as if one seed is equal to one tablet (that would be too easy, right?). So, you will have to do a little bit of math when you switch.

Here are the basics: Vitamin B17 tablet 100mg is roughly equal to 25 apricot seeds.

Vitamin B17 tablet 500mg is roughly equal to 125 apricot seeds.

So, what you will have to do is look at the number of apricot seeds you are currently eating per day and then do the math to figure out how many tablets of vitamin B17 that is equal to. You may need to purchase a pill-splitter so that you can cut the pills in half or in quarters as necessary. For example, if you need the equivalent of about 55 to 60 apricot seeds, you need about a half of a 500mg tablet.

If you have seen loved ones suffer through cancer, you know what a horrific ordeal it is. Even if your loved ones successfully fought the cancer and are now in remission, the battle took a great toll. After defeating cancer, it can take years for a person to get back into shape and to feel somewhere near "normal."

This is probably why you are interested in preventing cancer, you either know someone who has gone through it, or maybe you just understand how traumatizing the disease can be. So, you are looking into vitamin B17 and apricot seeds in order to try to prevent yourself (and, perhaps, other loved ones) from getting cancer.

Vitamin B17 Tablets or Apricot Seeds, Which is Better?

It is generally accepted among most researchers in the field of amygdalin research (amygdalin is the active ingredient that actually works to prevent the cancer; it is also called laetrile) that the purest form of a substance has the most potential health benefits. In other words, the actual apricot seeds are actually the richest source of amygdalin; therefore, they have the potential to benefit people in greater ways.

This is actually true for any foods. For example, getting Vitamin C straight from a citrus fruit such as a grapefruit or an orange is much better than taking a Vitamin C tablet. The human body is better at metabolizing vitamins directly from food sources.
However, this doesn't mean that you cannot take vitamin B17 tablets. After all, there are some people who are just unable to chew that apricot seeds, such as denture wearers, for example.

Additionally, some people may find apricot seeds to be too hard on their stomachs, whereas vitamin B17 tablets may be easier for them to tolerate. It is better to take the vitamin B17 tablets in these cases than to forgo taking any amygdalin at all.

You can, though, try to get creative if you seemingly cannot tolerate the raw seeds, try taking a little at a time or try adding them to a favorite breakfast cereal or smoothie recipe. Try other recipes, too!
