    Just watch out for the side effects...like increased tumor size and cyanide
    poisoning.

    "The results of the trial were clear-cut. Not one patient was cured or even
    stabilized. The median survival rate was 4.8 months from the start of
    therapy, and in those still alive after seven months, tumor size had
    increased. This was the expected result for patients receiving no treatment
    at all. In addition, several patients experienced symptoms of cyanide
    toxicity or had blood levels of cyanide approaching the lethal range [7]. "

    Away with thee, unholy troll! First it was your magic homeopathic
    herbal vitamin potions, now you have resurrected the beast known
    as laetrile that was slain nearly 30 years ago. I won't even
    bother clicking on your link, I know all about laetrile and it is
    just the most perfect example of snake oil and the vermin who
    peddle the stuff.

  6. Don't like that source John?

    Try this one...

    The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine

    http://cis.nci.nih.gov/fact/9_3.htm

    "Laboratory and animal studies have shown little evidence that laetrile is
    effective against cancer."

    "...little evidence to support laetrile as a treatment for cancer."

    "All of the patients showed cancer progression 7 months after completing
    treatment. "

    "The side effects associated with laetrile treatment are like the symptoms
    of cyanide poisoning. "

    "The symptoms include nausea and vomiting, headache, dizziness, bluish
    discoloration of the skin due to a lack of oxygen in the blood, liver
    damage, abnormally low blood pressure, droopy upper eyelid, difficulty
    walking due to damaged nerves, fever, mental confusion, coma, and death."

    The side effects can be increased by....<snip> ... or taking high doses of
    vitamin C.

    Death is also a well known side effect of this [censored].

    Angry relatives, who learn of this scam after the death can also be
    hazardous to the sellers w/health.

    OMG, you absolutely DESTROYED your argument when you brought in the Mexican
    government. I've lived on the Mexican border much of my life (still do)
    and while I doubt you've read anything I've posted to the Mexico-related
    newsgroups, the recurring theme is that the Mexican government is corrupt
    to the core, not even a real "government" at all but a criminal mafia-like
    syndicate that has robbed the country blind. I've paid visits to Mexican
    "doctors," and like their government (who granted them their UNAM public
    university degrees and licenses them), they are also corrupt to the core
    and many extremely incompetent (I go to them because they write
    prescreeptions for controlled substances like candy, surely evidence of
    standards of Mexican medical ethics).

    Mexican government in on the fraud? Naturally. Please keep in mind that
    this is a country whose entire police forces, military as well as high
    ranking generals, and even the president of Mexico himself have been
    discovered to be on the payroll of drug cartels. This is a country where
    government officials have stolen literally billions of dollars in public
    resources, funnelling some into personal secret Swiss bank accounts and
    using some to illegally fund the ruling party's political machine to
    rig elections in their favor. The moment you brought Mexico into it, you
    doomed your argument in favor of Laetrile.

    Just like our own except ours just funnells it into Corporations
    http://www.whale.to/a/cartels_h.html

    and the biggest drug dealer on the planet is Kissinger as Dope Inc proved,
    as if we all didn't know anyway http://www.whale.to/b/drug_war.html

    so I don't think your argument holds much water, as there isn't any
    difference in the governments, ours just rob us more covertly, bandits in
    white collars I call them

    and the biggest robber is the pharma industry

    John the owner of the whale.to website never has an argument worth
    destroying because they are not worth believing in the first place. The
    whale.to website has been criticized as the entire internets leading
    suppository of mis- and false information.

    Interesting, one of the most infamous health care frauds, Hulda Clark, has a
    clinic in Tiajuana. Recently, like earlier this month, Hulda's Henchmen
    stipulated that they can no longer sell her gadgets, gizmos and goos in the
    US with any form of health care intent. Interestingly, there is a picture
    someone took of her "clinic" which shows a car from a local mortuary. Do you
    know if morticians split fees with large referrers in Mexico?
