    No it doesn't. If it did, it would be used in hospitals.

    First, there is no such vitamin as B17. It was invented by the manufacturers of Laetrile, a commercial preparation of apricot seeds, as a cynical marketing move when they decided to promote their product as a cancer cure.

    Interestingly, 'B17'/Laetrile?apricot kernels is one of the few 'alternative cancer treatments' that has been properly tested an trialled - several times. And it has been found to be totally ineffective against cancer. You can read about those trials here:

    Not only is there not a scrap of evidence that laetrile is effective against cancer, it is also dangerous as it contains cyanide.

    Sadly wherever there is cancer there is an unscrupulous charlatan eager to make money from the desperation of people at their most vulnerable. Laetrile, apricot pits, B17 - whatever you want to call it, it is a scam.

    No. B17 is a made up name for ground up apricot seeds .

    It's an expensive scam.
