The controversy actually began back in 1908 when John Beat,
a professor of embryology at the University of Edinburgh,
suggested that malignant tumors-cancer-might be cured by
the effective use of ordinary enzymes (instead of the
maiming surgery, poisonous chemotherapy, or burning
radiation used by the modern medical establishment).
Both Dr. Beard and his theory were ridiculed by the
scientists of the day . . . and it wasn't until 1938 that
the Edinburgh professor's work was picked up and continued
by Dr. Ernst Krebs and his son, Ernst Krebs, Jr. The Krebs,
in fact, devoted their lives to nutrition therapy and out
of that labor came "The Trophoblastic Thesis of Cancer",
laetrile (a substance-also known as amypdalin or vitamin
B-17-extracted from the pit of the common apricot), and
some rather sensational headlines both for and against the
Krebs' work-that are still appearing in newspapers and
magazines to this day.
It is unfortunate that-on the one hand-defenders of the
Krebs have sometimes presented laetrile to the world as a
"befall, end-all" miracle cure while-on the other-the
entrenched medical establishment has viciously and
violently attacked vitamin B-17 as a completely worthless
"quack" nostrum. Because once you get past the overblown
and messy claims and counterclaims, you find that the Krebs
father-son team developed a six-point theory of cancer and
its treatment that really does seem to make sense:
(1) The cancer cell is a normal body cell (called a
trophoblast cell) which plays an important role in
reproduction. As cancer, it is merely in the wrong place at
the wrong time. [8J Such cells, normally, are controlled by
pancreatic enzymes. (9J Even under abnormal conditions, the
pancreatic enzymes are capable of destroying cancerous
cells. [4J When the enzymes are in poor supply, however, a
"wild" cell can proliferate and manifest itself as cancer.
[5f Cancer, then, is a deficiency disease and-as such--will
respond to medication. (6J Laetrile, actually vitamin B-17,
can fill this deficiency when properly administered in
combination with other vitamins and enzymes and, in fact,
the mere existence of a malignant tumor creates biochemical
actions which "trigger" laetrile-if it's available-into
attacking the unnatural growth and killing the cancer
cells.
"That's a nice theory,"says the American Medical
Association . . . and the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration, the American Cancer Society, and most of
the rest of the "legitimate" medical establishment, "but it
doesn't work. "
"Oh yes, it does work!"answers Dr. Harold W. Manner,
Professor of Biology and Chairman of the Biology Department
of Chicago's Loyola University, "and 1 have documented case
studies of work done with both laboratory animals and human
beings which prove that nutrition therapy using laetrile
can cure, contain, and prevent cancer."
