For groups of people
There are isolated tribes and peoples around the world who do not have cancer. These include the Abkhazians, the Hopi and Navajo Indians, the Hunzas, the Eskimos and the Karakorum. What they have in common is that their diet is rich in vitamin B17.
The Hunza tribe in the Himalayas use apricot kernels abundantly, fresh for three months and dried in the winter, with the kernels pressed for oil used for cooking, for fuel and as a skin preparation. Their wealth is measured by the number of apricot trees they own. They often live to over 100 years. In addition to the apricot the Hunza diet includes buckwheat, millet, alfalfa, peas, broad beans, turnips, lettuce, sprouting pulse and berries of various sorts. All of these except lettuce and turnip contain vitamin B17. The traditional Hunza diet contains two-hundred times more nitrilosides than the average American diet.
The Eskimos are another people that have been observed by medical teams for many decades and found to be totally free of cancer, while eating a traditional Eskimo diet. This diet is amazingly rich in nitrilosides that come from the residue of the meat of caribou and other animals who graze on nitriloside rich grasses, and also from the salmon berry which grows abundantly in the arctic areas. When the Eskimo abandons his traditional way of life and begins to rely on westernised foods, he becomes even more cancer-prone than the average American.
Missionary and medical journals have recorded many cancer-free populations all over the world, some in tropical regions, some in the arctic. Some are hunters who eat great quantities of meat, some are vegetarians who eat almost no meat at all. From all continents and all races, the one thing they have in common is that the degree to which they are free from cancer is in direct proportion to the amount of nitriloside or vitamin B17 found in their natural diet.17
