Apricots Cured Me of Cancer
By Nicole Mayne
A Newtown, Australia man claims eating kilos of apricot kernels cured him of prostate cancer. Ron Rankin has eaten 60 seeds a day since being diagnosed with the condition 12 months ago.
He was given only four or five years to live, but with a radical change of diet is now almost cancer-free.
"The doctor told me that the cancer was particularly aggressive and I was given four or five years to live," Ron said. "I shed a lot of tears and contemplated committing suicide because I was going to miss out on this stuff and my daughter getting married."
Initially, the 61-year-old was given tablets to shrink the cancer and then injections and while on holiday in Noosa, Queensland, he came to terms with his impending death and decided to make the most of the time left.
But after splurging on a brand new Subaru WRX, he discovered a diet which he credits with saving his life.
A friend put him in contact with another man in Melbourne who had overcome prostate cancer by eating a diet high in B17, found in apricot kernels.
"When he told me 'I have found the cure', I did not have any hesitation," Ron said. He gave up virtually all meat and alcohol and reverted to a diet high in vitamins, including apricot kernels.
The kernels were discovered by Dr Ernst Krebs in the 1950s to contain the vitamin B17. Dr Krebs found B17, which contains cyanide, attacked the cancer cells when chewed or crushed. Because of the bitter taste, Ron initially found himself gagging as he tried to chew 60 seeds a day.
He now grinds up the apricot kernels, which he buys in from South Australia, and swallows them in gel caps. Ron said this was coupled with pineapple which helped soften the walls of the cancer cells.
He has lost almost 16 kg and feels back to normal.
"I have not been sick in any way for a year, no colds, no coughs - it is wonderful," he said.
His prostate specific antigen reading, which indicates cancer, has dropped from 95 to 2.8 and he expects to get the all clear at his next doctor's visit.
Investigations by the American Cancer Society have
found no scientific evidence B17 shrinks tumours or increases cancer survival
rates.
