JANE KELLEY was thinking about ::Sighs:: and keyed into cyberspace:
JK>MP>Laetrile, or as it is known now, Vitamin B-17, killed many people,
JK>MP>either by convincing them to stop chemotherapy or as a direct
JK>MP>result of the poor preparation methodology whereby a significant
JK>MP>amount of KCN was left behind.
JK>I've never seen anyone using this, what I heard was a report after
JK>the man died when I was working in Alaska.
Fortunately, Laetrile was exposed as the hoax it was in the late 1960's 
and early 1970's. However,there are still the cultist around who claim 
it has curative powers. Bull.
JK>What I have observed is that when humans cling to something for a
JK>long period of time, a belief that is, it is either a part of several
JK>religions such as is the virgin birth, or that there is some truth in
JK>it such as that about Laetrile.
There is not truth in Laetrile, except that it kills people.
JK>I also learned that if one insists upon hard cold scientific evidence
JK>where there is presumption of emperic evidence, then one misses a lot
JK>in life.
Yep. i miss being ripped off by charlatans, and other scum.
