What is Bitter Apricot Extract Amygdalin?

The apricot tree (Prunus armeniaca L.) originated on the border of Russia and China and has been cultivated in China for at least 3,000 years, according to the University of Georgia. English settlers probably introduced the fruit to the U.S. East Coast while Spanish explorers introduced it to monasteries in California. The apricot seed is often called a kernel. It has a very hard shell surrounding a nut that resembles an almond.

Amygdalin, commonly called Laetrile, is an alternative cancer treatment that is made from the pits of apricots and other fruits.

Amygdalin was first introduced as an alternative cancer treatment in the United States in the 1920s and gained popularity in the 1950s. After studies suggested its ineffectiveness in treating cancer, the popularity of amygdalin diminished. Amygdalin reappeared again around the year 2000.

A substance called Amygdalin was first extracted from almond seeds in 1830 by two French chemists. The same substance was also found in apricot seeds. In the late 1890s, German scientists tested the substances to find a cure for cancer.

Laetrile is a form of Amygdalin that was first promoted as a cure for cancer by scientist Ernst Krebs in 1903. He claimed that enzymes released when the substance was broken down by the body killed cancer cells. he continued to promote Laetrile and eventually passed on his findings to his son, Ernst Krebs, Jr.Thanks to the tireless promotion of Krebs Jr. and some reported success with Laetrile in Canada, it attracted wide attention in the 1960s and 1970s. Because Laetrile never gained approval by the Food and Drug Administration in the United States, doctors set up practices in border cities such as Tijuana, Mexico, and Montreal, Canada, where they administered Laetrile to cancer patients looking for a cure.

A vibrant debate still rages about the benefits of the active ingredient in apricot seeds, laetrile. Asante Academy of Chinese Medicine, an acupuncture clinic in London, lists apricot seeds as beneficial for relieving coughs and breathing difficulties, and for lubricating and relaxing the bowels. Clinical findings in China also report the bitter apricot seeds are antimicrobial, anti-tumor, and provide pain relief for those with advanced liver cancer.

 Despite a lack of hard evidence, apricot seeds and Laetrile are still promoted as a cure for cancer and an alternative treatment. Laetrile is still sold in capsule form (though not legally in the United States) and some people still advise eating up to 40 apricot seeds a day as a natural source of Laetrile to fight cancer.
