Laetrile Case Histories; The Richardson Cancer Clinic Experience

Billions of dollars have been invested in cancer research, and so far no general cure for cancer has been approved by the FDA.Radiotherapy is not effective, since radiation *causes* cancer. The failure rate of this therapy is therefore very high.Chemotherapy uses strong poisons that are given to the patient in the hope that the cancer cells in his body will die before he does. Unfortunately, those poisons can not distinguish between cancer and non-cancer cells. Instead they differentiate between cells that are fast growing and those that are slow. Dr. Richardson explains what happens to the body of the patient : "Cells that actively are dividing are the targets. Consequently they kill not only cancer cells that are dividing but also a multitude of normal cells all over the body that happen to be caught in the act of dividing. (...) ... the resulting pain and illness often is a torment worse than the disease itself. The toxins catch the blood cells in the process of dividing and cause blood poisoning. The gastro intestinal system is thrown into convulsion causing violent nausea, diarrhea, loss of appetite, cramps, and progressive weakness. Hair cells are fast growing, so usually the hair falls out during treatment. Reproductive organs are affected, causing impotency or sterility. The brain becomes fatigued and wracked with pain. Eyesight and hearing are impaired. In fact, every conceivable function is disrupted with such agony for the patient that many elect to die of the cancer rather than continue treatment".Notwithstanding this poor result, the market of chemotherapy in the US alone is worth 1 billion dollars per year. Big Pharma and the FDA concentrate on the tumor. They don't care on the life expectancy nor the quality of life of the patient. Pain isn't relevant to them either.The effectiveness of Laetrile is clear. Please read  World Without Cancer: The Story of Vitamin B17 (New edition revised and updated)  to check this out. This book is the perfect complement, since Dr. John Richardson, while still able to operate his clinic, helped more than 4.000 people. In this book he tells the stories of 62 people with different types of cancers that he cured. This book was written in 1977. In 2005, Patricia Griffin tried to contact those patients in order to be able to determine the real life extension of those people. I will highlight some of those cases, one in each category of cancer.CANCER OF THE LUNGMan : patient "M136TB"Age when cancer was detected : 17Year of diagnose : 1975Statistical life expectancy : less than a yearLife extension : alive and well after 30 years in 2005After having undergone chemotherapy for five months, without success - since another spot showed up - the parents decided to decide into laetrile as an alternative. The patient describes his reaction to the course of the therapy in these words : "I was treated like I was just as normal as anyone walking on this earth - what I mean is, they didn't treat me like I was deathly sick, but they treated me like I was going to get well. "CANCER OF THE PROSTRATEName : John PetersonAge when cancer was detected : 61Year of diagnose : 1973Statistical life expectancy : a yearLife extension : 13 years, died at age 74 in 1986The patient related in a letter what the next few weeks after diagnose were like for him : "I was in constant, unrelenting pain, my body jerked in spasms, there was some rectal bleeding, and I became so weak I could hardly rise from a chair and walk. At this time, I learned from friends where I could get Laetrile treatment. My wife drove the car, the one and one-half-hour drive to the San Francisco Bay area where I received my first injection of Laetrile, October 25, 1973. I was too weak to drive, in fact I passed out in the car both going and returning from these first daily treatments. Improvement was apparent within the days and in about thirty days I was driving the car myself. I was again looking forward to each new sunrise with anticipation of some pleasure in being alive."CANCER OF THE BREASTWoman : patient "M110MX"Age when cancer was detected : 50Year of diagnose : 1974Life extension : 19 years; died at age 70 in 1993Laetrile treatment prevented the removal of the left breast, as suggested by her original physician.CANCER OF THE COLONWoman : patient "H132I"Age when cancer was detected : 59Year of diagnose : 1973Life extension : 27 years; died at age 86 in 2000CANCER OF THE LIVERName : Lorraine FordAge when cancer was detected : 60Year of diagnose : 1974Statistical life expectancy : 6 monthsLife extension : 5 years; died at age 65 in 1979Tried first chemotherapy, to no avail.CANCER OF THE OVARYName : Lorette LauAge when cancer was detected : 61Year of diagnose : 1975Statistical life expectancy : a yearLife extension : 22 years; died at age 83 in 1997CANCER OF THE THYROIDWoman : patient "A156JC"Year of diagnose : 1973Metabolic treatment started : 1974Life extension : alive and well after 31 years in 2005The patient first drank an "atomic cocktail", which produced a slow recovery, but after six months her health went downhill : "I lost about thirty pounds. I had dark yellow skin and dark around my eyes. I was constantly tired. I slept a great deal and felt sleepy the rest of the time. It was around this time I first heard of Laetrile. I felt the treatments I had been receiving were ineffective, and so I chose to come to the Richardson Clinic. Dr. Richardson did not make any promises to me, but within ten days of beginning nutritional therapy and Laetrile, I noticed considerable improvement. My eyes and skin returned to their normal color. I stopped losing weight, the terrible tired feeling left, as did the pain... Friends and relatives who have watched my progress are amazed at how well I look... We've had a number of cases of cancer in my family on both sides. I am the only one who has taken Laetrile and I am the only one who has survived. "CANCER OF THE CERVIXName : Thelma MoscaAge when cancer was detected : 55Year of diagnose : 1975Statistical life expectancy : 3 monthsLife extension : alive 2 years later; not traceable in 2005After discovery of cancer in the Kaiser Hospital in Oakland, California, a surgery was planned. Mrs. Mosca decided to cancel it, since her mother died after surgery and radiation, and told her she would never do it again. After watching the Tom Snyder TV show she learned to know about Laetrile, and contacted the Richardson Clinic. Only fourteen days after starting metabolic therapy, pathology report from a Pap smear revealed : "Class 1 negative. No atypical cells present [cancer no longer present]".In a letter to the Richardson clinic, Mrs. Mosca wrote : "When my doctor [the one who recommended surgery] asked me if I knew how painful death from cancer would be, I said yes I knew. My mother had breast cancer. She was butchered and burned and died a slow and painful death. We had to keep her arm in ice packs twenty-four hours a day because of cobalt burns. My mother was not helped or saved. That is precisely why I rejected surgery and radiation. "LEUKEMIANaam : Ben ReynoldsAge when cancer was detected : 63Year of diagnose : 1973Life extension : 6 years; died at age 69 in 1979Mr. Reynolds started with chemotherapy but switched rapidly to. This is why he chose Laetrile : "I took chemotherapy for three days only. I had started metabolic therapy on July 23 and 24 [1973] and then submitted [for the last time] to the chemotherapy on July 27, 1973. Mixed up ? Yes. But, then what does one do for cancer treatment when one knows nothing to start with ? It took only a few minutes reading the Physician's Desk Reference on the third day I was on chemotherapy to know what I wanted to do and what I did not want to do. This is what the book had to say about my drugs : "Ovocen (Vincristine): Mode of action is unknown but under investigation... Extreme care must be used in calculating the dose... Overdosing may have a serious or fatal outcome." Cytoxan : "Its mechanism of action is not known". Nor did I want Prednisone, about which I read more of the same. I was not ready to die, not from cancer and certainly not from the poisons they were going to give me, so I wouldn't die from cancer. "CANCER OF THE BONEName : Shane HortonAge when cancer was detected : 6Year of diagnose : 1973Life expectancy : 6 to 9 monthsLife extension : alive and well after 32 years in 2005This little boy was six years old when his symptoms began. He was so weak he couldn't stand on his own legs and had to see Disneyland from a wheelchair... Osteosarcoma of the right humerus [right upper arm bone] and the third lumbar vertebra (spine) was discovered, when the kid couldn't lift his right arm. The hospital summary of the Mercy Hospital, Sacramento, California, in November 9, 1973, stated : "It would appear that this unfortunate child has already distant metastases from his primary tumor. In all likelihood he will develop evidence of metastases elsewhere in the very near future... pulmonary metastases are so common with metastatic osteogenic sarcoma. Unfortunately the patient is not a candidate for curative therapy and the primary question is how best to palliate this child to maintain him in a functional pain-free state for as long as possible. "Instead of palliative treatment the parents of Shane chose Laetrile.CONCLUSIONYou are the *only* person on earth *really* concerned in *your own health*.Question the authority of your doctor - the man in the white coat. He is not that wise as he wishes to project himself. He was educated at university always to prescribe patented drugs, and he participates, the whole length of his professional career, in conferences and congresses in exotic resorts all over the world, paid by Big Pharma, who want him to continue to push their newest patented drugs. So don't expect him to agree with (cheap) vitamin B17-treatment.Ultimately, it's your choice.It's your life.

This book is a must read for anyone fighting cancer. I am using apricot seeds myself. Was told I needed chemo 2 yrs ago. Refused the chemo. Switched to plant based diet, discovered the apricot pit and have been cancer free over 2 yrs. Plus the status of the tumor changed in four weeks from an aggressive growing cancer to a slower growing cancer. I had the tumor removed in April of 2012. It has never returned. I do thermograms instead of mammorgrams. Radiation is very toxic and cancer causing. My tumor was not discovered by mammogram. In fact mammogram missed it when it was in stage 0. This doctor was an amazing man who gave his life to help others. Some who are still living today. I would like to state that I also have a breast ultra-sound in conjunction with the thermogram. The most recent ultra-sound found zero cancer as did the thermogram.I would like to add this to my review: I was 'talked into' using fear to have radiation. While the tech was preparing me for the radiation dose I told her I was praying for a cancer cure. She stated, "Oh, honey, if they ever find a cure it will never pass. There is too much money in this business." Then she turned around and said with a big smile,: "I have job security." Mind you, after a week of seeing me, none of them, including the radiologist ever called me by my name. They had to detach from all of us as they "know in secret" that they are poisoning us. Why do they hide behind a huge metal door when giving radiation if it is so safe? One day all of this chemo/radiation will be called a crime on humanity. God gave us medical cures in the plants and trees. Gen.1:29-30, Ezekiel 47:12 No one ever died from eating pure natural food. We are dying from processed food and toxins. BTW, I am still suffering from side effects of the radiation to my thyroid. They did not put a guard over my thyroid, fully knowing that radiation damages the thyroid gland. It also damages the heart and lungs. Fact, in the tiny print of the release they make you sign. Also in the tiny print it says you can die from the cancer anyway and from side effects from the radiation.I have a dry cough and get winded easily. Something that never happened prior to radiation. Pure criminal. I am learning that iodine helps with healing the thyroid that is damaged by radiation. Read Dr. Brownstein's book on "Iodine Why You Need It." Iodine has been discovered to kill cancer cells in lab studies. It was taken out of bread in the 80's and replaced with toxic bromine (they use this to kill termites in houses). Now,years later there is more cancer and thyroid disease than ever before. One day alternative medicine will be the norm. People are getting smarter through the internet and the ability to share information.

This is an extraordinary book of major importance. It literally can save your life if you heed the advise touse Laetrile to cure your cancer.It is such a dramatic and tragic story how Laetrile became a very promising cure-for cancer in the last century and then was attacked , banned and demonized as ''quackery'' by pharmaceutical authorities thathad to defend their obscene profits selling poison, radiation and surgery as the only possible ''medicine'' for cancer!It is of major importance to mankind that Latrile will again be used world-wide as a proven very effective CURE FOR CANCER!

Controversial. Very Interesting.

Here are 62 case histories proving beyond any doubt that Laetrile (Vitamin B17) works in the control of cancer. These are not anecdotal stories or cases of people who never had cancer in the first place. Each history is authenticated by a firm diagnosis and meticulous medical documentation.This book also recount the personal battle of Dr. Richardson who incurred the wrath of orthodox medicine when he and his patients elected to use vitamin therapy instead of surgery, drugs, and radiation as the treatment of choice.Blurb from the back cover.This new, updated and revised edition includes a follow up 30 years after the patients were diagnosed with incurable cancer. Proof is in the actual life-span of these people who, previously, had been told by their doctors that they had just a few months or weeks to live.Biographies from the inside front cover:Dr. John Richardson was on the forefront of the Laetrile controversy from 1972 until his passing in 1988. He challenged the FDA to secure the right of physician and patient to reject orthodox cancer treatments, in which they have little confidence, and use nutritional therapy instead. He received a doctorate of medicine from the University of Rochester School of Medicine and completed internship plus a fellowship in medicine at the Mary Imogene Bassett Hospital, Cooperstown, New York. He was awarded the title of diplomat by the National Board of Medical Examiners and was licensed to practice medicine and surgery in New York. In 1954 he was certified by the State of California and established his practice in the San Francisco Bay area.Patricia Griffin is a native Californian who grew up in Michigan. She was graduated from the University of Michigan School of Nursing in June of 1953. After working as a psychiatric nurse. and in public health nursing from Mount St. Mary's College in Los Angeles. She later attended UCLAand in 1989 received a P.F.P. certification from the School of Business and Management. She lives in Southern California with her husband G. Edward Griffin. They are the parents of four children: James, Daniel, Ralph and Kathleen.

Worth a read, very interesting.

I was reading heavily in this B17 and Cannabis oil for the last 2 years. Three months ago I was diagnosed with Prostate cancer of stage 4. I was given 5 years to live with 50% chance of it.Right away I was registered as a cancer customer, and doctors were busy with making arrangements for me.I said no to chemo and radiation therapy and started treating myself with Laetrile, cannabis oil and a special diet based on vegetable and fruits.In two months my PSA level has come down to 4.2 from 240 and I'm cancer free.

Have you been diagnosed with cancer? Depressed with the outlook.....well worth a read as back in the 1970's Dr John Richardson was treating and curing all types of cancers with his metabolic therapy and laetrile (vitamin B17/ amygdalin). Read together with "Alive and Well" by Dr Philip Binzel which gives you the "recipes".
