Medical Video: I BEAT CANCER WITH VITAMIN B17
Vitamin B is a vitamin that has many types. Not only vitamin B1, B9, B-12 are available. Apparently there are still vitamin B-17, you know! Ever heard of this vitamin B-17? So what is the function of vitamin B17? Come see the review below.
What is vitamin B17?
Vitamin B17 or what is called amygdalin is a vitamin that is often found in raw beans, fruit seeds and seeds. Vitamin B17 has been controversial for the past decade, its uses and needs are still being studied more deeply. Unlike other vitamins whose needs must be met daily, vitamin B17 does not have these standards.
Vitamin B17 is also often called Laetrile. Actually there is a slight difference between laetrile and vitamin B17. Laetrile is the name of a type of drug that is formed with pure amygdalin or vitamin B17. This is often wrong, people call it laetrile is vitamin B17.
Well, this Laetrile is used as an anticancer drug to help cure cancer.
Where can pure sources of amygdalin or vitamin B17 be obtained?
- Raw nuts, such as bitter almonds, raw almonds, macadamia nuts
- Vegetables, such as carrots, celery, sprouts, green beans
- Grains: flaxseed, and buckwheat
- Fruit seeds: apricots, apples, plums, cherries, peaches
Vitamin B17 can fight cancer, right?
This is still explored in many studies. Laetrile itself is claimed as a component that can help fight cancer, but this is but has not been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, the drug and food regulatory agency in the United States.
So, how can the function of vitamin B17 kill cancer cells? Look, basically the body will break down laetrile in 3 forms, namely hydrogen cyanide, benzaldehyde, and prunasin.
This hydrogen cyanide is suspected by researchers as a substance that is beneficial to the health of the body. This substance is also predicted as an anticancer substance formed from amygdalin.
Some enzymes in the body convert hydrogen cyanide into a very low molecular level called thiocyanate. The availability of hydrogen cyanide will bring a more acidic atmosphere so that if there are cancer cells, it will die faster.
However, this component of the hydrogen cyanide compound cannot tell which healthy cells are sick, so it is possible that all non-cancerous cells are affected by hydrogen cyanide. Therefore, it is also necessary to estimate the use of laetrile.
Besides that, actually the benefits of laetrile as an anticancer substance also still don't have much scientific evidence.
What are the other functions of vitamin B17?
Most studies have focused on the effects of amygdalin on cancer. Even so, it turns out not only in cancer, the presence of amygdalin can have other health effects. The following are other functions of vitamin B17:
- Lower blood pressure. Reported on the Healthline page, amygdalin helps reduce systolic blood pressure by 28.5% and diastolic pressure by 25%. This benefit will be higher when consumed with vitamin C.
- Can reduce pain. Proof of this benefit has not been done in humans, but in animals. From the results of a study it was found that amygdalin can reduce pain due to inflammation such as inflammation that arises from arthritis.
- Improve immunity. A study found that amygdalin increases the ability of immune cells to attach to and attack prostate cancer cells.
Are there any side effects if there is too much vitamin B17?
Even though it has several benefits, most amygdalin substances in the area are also dangerous. Because, hydrogen cyanide produced in the body is also increasing.
- nausea and vomiting
- Headache
- Liver damage
- Bluish skin caused by lack of oxygen
- Blood pressure becomes low
- The eyelids droop limply
Side effects can be aggravated by several things:
- Eating too much raw almonds
- Consume too much Vitamin C along with high amygdalin food sources. Because, more hydrogen cyanide will accumulate in the body that is dangerous.
