...it's been 30 years, but if I recall correctly:
Laetrile, naturally found in many non-citrus fruit seeds, is a natural chemical that contains cyanide. The laetrile releases its cyanide when the laetrile is metabolized by a cell. The idea is that when the laetrile is broken down by a cell, the released cyanide helps to kill the cell. Since cancer cells metabolize faster than regular cells, it's hoped they will be killed preferentially over normal cells. I think the idea may also be that normal cells are somehow protected against laetrile, so laetrile would release its cyanide mostly in cancer cells.
have you heard of using okra for diabetes?
I have read that if you cut the top and bottom off of
two pieces of raw okra , stand them up with the tops up
in a glass with apx 1 inch of water in the glass.
let it stand overnight.
then drink the water the next morning.
it is supposed to help to fight diabetes and has
even allowed people to stop taking insulin to control
their blood sugar levels.
some even say that it is a cure for diabetes.
