How Apricot Seeds Prevent CancerIf you know someone who has been diagnosed with cancer, you know what a horrific ordeal it is to go through. Any and all types of cancer—from skin cancer to lung cancer to ovarian cancer and everything in-between—are equally devastating to those who are diagnosed and their loved ones. Amid the tests that must be run by the doctors at hospitals or clinics and the treatments that are directed, there are also many strong emotions with which people must find some way to shoulder. Dealing with cancer is difficult for anyone involved. Well, there is a way to prevent cancer from even entering your life. There is a method through which you can actually completely prevent cancer. It isn’t difficult to endure, either—it simply involves apricot seeds. Yes—apricot seeds. You should be familiar with apricots, as they are a relatively popular fruit here in the United States, both fresh and dried. However, it is the seeds—also called apricot kernels—that can prevent cancer. If you eat a certain amount per day (typically about 7 grams per day, though that can vary), the apricot seeds can truly prevent you from getting cancer. How Does this Work? Apricot seeds have a special nutrient inside called amygdalin, which is also known as B17. Inside the amygdalin—locked away, so to speak—is cyanide. This is a dangerous toxin; however, this poison stays locked away unless the amygdalin comes into contact with a cancer cell. Cancer cells have a special enzyme that works to unlock the amygdalin and release the cyanide. The cyanide then does its job of destroying the cancer cells. Normal body cells don’t have this enzyme to unlock the cyanide; normal cells have a different enzyme that instead unlocks the amygdalin and releases its nutrients as well as a neutralizing agent that destroys any cyanide that it contacts. Because our bodies are constantly producing cancerous cells, eating apricot seeds on a daily basis is what allows the seeds to prevent cancer. A one-time dosage of apricot seeds wouldn’t help much—in order to really prevent cancer, apricot seeds need to be ingested every single day.
