Overreaction to bee stings: can leatrile help?
I have found some information that leatrile, also known as vitamin B17 or amygdalin, can help to calm down an overreactive immune system.
It's an inactive form of cyanide which is non-toxic and occurs in many kernels like bitter almonds, apricots and apples.
It has also been known to help against cancer and can be bought in various forms.
I like to experiment and have been taking 10 to 15 apricot kernels per day for the last 2 months.
All I need now is a few decent stings to see how good/bad my reaction is. :eek:
If this works many beekeepers who are worried about anaphylactic shock could find relief simply by adding these kernels to their diet.
Anybody else up for the challenge?
Which one is the billion dollar industry?
Hi Gavin, you make me laugh!
As you might know, everything is made up of chemicals, if I would refuse them I would starve, dry out and suffocate, but probably in the reverse order.
And how anybody can make millions out of a by product of apricot jam is not clear to me at all. :confused:
As I say, i am taking 10 to 15 apricot kernels a day, and if that gives some poor Turkish farmer a few extra lira I shall be quite happy about it.
I don't think it's doing me any harm either, as I am feeling better than ever.
Are you not aware that natural remedies are fiercely opposed by the pharmaceutical industry in order to safeguard their own profits? - I know it's not the Turkish apricot farmers who are making the millions and who put out propaganda in order to get the competition off the market.
:rolleyes:
... and pulling the thread? Are people not allowed to make up their own minds anymore?
I would love to give you updates on my reaction to stings, and if anybody is interested, on my general wellbeing as well.
