Is B 17 legal

The FDA banned vitamin B17 years ago

Actually in the 1980's when "World Without Cancer" was published

Although it is banned, it is not illegal

You Ask: What's the Difference?

The difference is ~

If any hospital uses laetrile the law says that they jeopardize any grants from the government as well as any monies from Medicaid and other hospital insurance originating from the government. Since nearly all of hospital revenues come from patient insurance, not one hospital in the U.S. will take the chance and use any banned substance including, Amygdalin (also called vitamin B17 and Laetrile.)

Any Doctor that wants to use the substance from apricot pits, must have their patient fill out a form and then the doctor must submit the form to the FDA... Again, doctors don't want to get involved in this and would rather keep their names off of the FDA lists. Additionally, the doctor's malpractice insurance will not be valid if they prescribe laetrile (B17, amygdalin) to a patient. The Americcan Medical Association (AMA) treats any Doctor that prescribes laetrile to be a renegade (traitorous) and that he has violated the AMA's membership policies and will be subject to membership termination. Therefore any Doctor that prescribes laetrile may destroy his carreer as a Doctor.

Any individual that sells laetrile must not claim that it does anything in his place of business. Many health food stores in the past were raided and had to give up their supplies of B17 because the B17 was near books that claimed that the B17 was the answer to cancer...In other words the books were near the B17 in the stores and was therefore considered "labeling" which is a term used by the FDA. Labeling according to the FDA is against the law and can be prosecuted.

However on the Internet, it is different. Internet law is tricky and not the same as U.S. commercial law. In one case, Ken Kholas took the FDA to court and won his B17 back. That court case proved it wasn't wrong for him to have or to sell it thought it cost Ken's father a tremendous amount of money

What THIS MEANS TO YOU is that you can purchase, use and have B17 and you will not have violated any law.

Types of tea such as Ceylon and Darjeeling refer to the region
in which they are grown. Green tea (Camellia sinensis) extract is a bioflavonoid-rich, potent extract which is used primarily for fighting free radicals. It has a high content of polyphenols, which are a class of bioflavonoids.

How does Green Tea help my health?

The polyphenols in green tea are catechins, with multiple linked ring-like structures. Polyphenols are a form of bioflavonoids with several phenol groups. They control both taste and biological action.

The dominant and most important catechin in green tea is (-) Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG), a potent antioxidant which is used for food production, as well as in animal research studies. The phenol groups capture pro-oxidants and free radicals.

EGCG is over 200 times more powerful than vitamin E in neutralizing the pro-oxidants and free radicals that attack lipids in the brain, in vivo. It is 20 times more potent than vitamin E in reducing formation of peroxides in lard by the Active Oxygen Method, in vitro.

What is great about green tea ?

Is its ability to ward off many types of cancer. Much of the initial evidence that green tea is anti-carcinogenic is based on epidemiological studies which show lower rates of many types of cancer among populations such as Japan and China that drink green tea as part of a daily cultural habit.

Recently, however, controlled studies on green tea extract have yielded impressive results, identifying the polyphenol epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) as the responsible component. EGCG is able to force certain cancer cells into a situation in which, incredible as it may seem, they must die or be killed; the cancer cells die in a sort of cellular suicide, a condition scientists call "apoptosis".

It helps block the cancer-promoting actions of:

Carcinogens
Ultraviolet light
Metastasis
- Skin
- Stomach
- Small intestine
- Liver
- Lung

Further evidence shows EGCG as having an inhibitory effect on the enzyme, urokinase, which is required for tumor formation, thus preventing the formation of tumors in the first place. Not only are the polyphenols in green tea protective against certain cancers, but they are also potent antioxidants.

EGCG also reduces platelet aggregation about as much as aspirin or Ginkgo Biloba extract. Green tea is very effective in inhibiting pathogenic bacteria that cause food poisoning, but increases levels of acidophilus (friendly) bacteria. 500 mg catechins (>= 250 mg EGCG) daily regularized bowel habits significantly. Green tea also blocks the attachment of the bacteria associated with dental caries to the teeth.

Green tea's antioxidants have been shown to be highly beneficial to the heart, they help prevent the oxidation of LDL cholesterol.

The Facts:

One cup of green tea contains from 100-200mg of EGCG.
Green tea should not be steeped in boiling water, but hot water (around 160-200 degrees). Use 1 Teaspoon of loose tea per cup, and a little more than 1 cup of water.
Epidemiological studies have examined green tea drinkers; controlled studies have largely been done on the extract of green tea.
Decaffeinated green tea does not show the same benefits as green tea left in its natural state.
Adding milk negates green tea's beneficial properties.
Black tea may increase the incidence of certain cancers. Don't drink it.
Green tea has been show to be anti-bacterial, able to kill the potentially deadly Staphylococcus aureus and the bacteria that causes acne, Bacterium acne.
More than 5 cups a day may increase your odds for pancreatic cancer; 1-4 cups shows only benefits, so 1 or 2 cups a day is probably just right.
Used primarily for its free radical fighting capabilities
EGCG protects against digestive and respiratory infections

TOXICITY, CAUTIONS & CONTRA-INDICATIONS:

Green tea extract is non-toxic both in acute dosage and high long-term dosage (no significant effect on weight gain at 2% of the diet in 3 months in rats). It has no potential for causing mutations or birth defects, and has no adverse effect on fertility, pregnancy or nursing.
