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.

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?
