    Not sure what to think of this but I'm leaning toward BS. I don't see much evidence here to prove the claims.

    "Amygdalin/laetrile was claimed to be a vitamin by Ernst T. Krebs in the hope that if classified as a nutritional supplement it would escape the federal legislation regarding the marketing of drugs. He could also capitalise on the public fad for vitamins at that time." http://caonline.amcancersoc.org/cgi/reprint/31/2/91

    Theories are like assholes. Everybody should wipe theirs clean of shit before sharing.

    5 minutes of googling... http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/abstract/306/4/201 --- 178 patients, no improvements. And one third of the patients in this study had no prior cancer therapy.

    why is it that phony pseudoscience articles like this always have such a shitty, glaring design, and a "shopping cart" link somewhere on the page?

Right here! Most people have heard of 'spontaneous remission', where the cancer simply goes away, hopefully never to reappear. Spontaneous remissions are exceedingly rare and vary from one form of cancer to another. One virulent variety known as testicular chorionepithelioma has never been known to produce a single spontaneous remission. Perhaps for that precise reason, Dr. Krebs singled it out for special attention when proving the effectiveness of B17 Laetrile in providing total control for cancers. As Edward Griffin recounts: "In a banquet speech in San Francisco on November 19, 1967, Dr. Ernst T. Krebs, Jr., briefly reviewed six such cases. Then he added: Now there is an advantage in not having had prior radiation, because if you have not received prior radiation that has failed, then you cannot enjoy the imagined benefits of the delayed effects of prior radiation. So this boy falls into the category of the "spontaneous regression... " And when we look at this scientifically, we know that spontaneous regression occurs in fewer than one in 150,000 cases of cancer. The statistical possibility of spontaneous regression accounting for the complete resolution of successive cases of testicular chorionepithelioma is far greater than the statistical improbability of the sun not rising tomorrow morning."
