I found that if I ate the apricot kernels and took the tablets in the same hour, then I felt sick. If I alternated them it was ok. I was taking 60 kernels a day to begin with and was able to tolerate them very well. So much for the 'more than two a day' will kill you theory. I always wonder why the B17 police never worry about ratafia biscuits which are also made from apricot kernels!

Yes I agree with you wholeheartedly. It seems that apricot kernels are not banned or warned against unless you are taking them to treat cancer - THEN they are bad for you! Another thing I noticed - if I took the amygdalin tablets without eating anything early in the morning - they tended to make me feel very light headed - I found it best to eat them with a cracker or something (not fruit - as this made me feel nauseous) Otherwise these were the only side effects I found - which compared to chemotherapy is a walk in the park!

B17 is also found in Almonds, apple pips, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries and cherry pips to a lesser degree. Funny how these are not bad for you according to the b17 "police" despite containing the same substance.

I run an Organic fruit and veg stall and in the summer when apricots are in season i always keep the kernels to eat, some taste very sweet and are really delicious, some are quite bitter and harder work to eat, i dont have any cancer but have known about B17/aprict kernels for yrs so always save them
