Although it appear as if some of the letter were written by lay persons, the
truth stands. The simple things from nature will take down the strongholds
of the wise. Sometimes the more intellectual a person becomes, the more
the basic simple things in life pass them by.
Dear Judge Gleeson:
I am shocked to hear that the FDA wants to ban Christian Brothers from
providing apricot seeds. I personally had a basal cell on my face which was
confirmed by my physician. I ate apricot seeds for several weeks and when I
went to the dermatologist to have the basal cell removed it was gone!! My
father died of cancer, my grandmother died of cancer, and I eat seven seeds
a day for a preventative measure. There are so many benefiting from this
that I beg you to allow Christian Brothers to continue helping others with
B17.

Jason,
Your web site was a God send in my life and the reason that
I'm alive today cured of cancer. I had an anaplastic astrocytoma discovered
back in '97 that the doctor's told me I had 3 years to live with treatment.
I refused most of the treatment and by a miracle received an e-mail one day
from your web site after much prayer that lead me to the seeds and the more
concentrated B-17 pills that stopped the cancer in it's tracks. Thanks to
the testimonials section on your site hundreds of people have called from
all over the country asking me about my experiences with B-17 and I have
been more then happy to tell them the good news. I still take 5/day as a
preventative per the sites recommendation. I just had another MRI and the
signal continues to show a shrinkage from the original size first pictured
back in '97. My doctor at Mass. General Hospital is Dr. Tracy Bachelor
(617-724-8770) my neurological oncologist. He can testify medically to all
I've told you. Please let me know if there is anything I can do regarding
your situation. In Christ, John Hebert 978-887-0153
Dear Judge Gleeson,
I want to tell you my experience with the vitamin
b17 contained in the Apricot seeds and how grateful I am that Jason and
Christian Brothers make them available to all of us who have made a personal
choice to use them. A little over three years ago, I noticed a growth on my
back above my right kidney area. It was just a bump and at the time and I
didn't think much of it until it began to grow uncommonly fast. That's when
I knew it was more than a mole or a pimple, it was something else. It grew
like it had a mind of its own. A friend of mine invited me to a Cancer
Victors and Friends meeting which my wife and I attended because we liked
the people there and we felt the information would be useful. Well, Sir, the
man who spoke that evening changed my life! He was a doctor who had
experienced the ravages of cancer in his own body. He had been through the
chemo, and had had the operations (showed us the scares to prove it). His
story was both scary and compelling. I noticed all through the preliminaries
of the meeting he would pull something out of a small plastic bag and eat
it. I had no idea what it was. When it came his time to speak he related his
story (as I mentioned) then he began to tell about vitamin b17. He told us
how skeptical he was at first and that only his desperation motivated him to
try the seeds. However, once he tried them, he began to feel better. So he
continued to take them and for three years (at that time) had no recurrence
of the cancer. Then he showed us a video. I didn't realize at the time how
much courage it took for him to show that video and share his story. I
didn't realize he could have lost his license to practice medicine for doing
it. But, once that video was over, I knew I had to have some of those
seeds. I ordered them right away and began to take them. Within two weeks
the growth on my back began to shrink. I started eating more and more of
them and the growth got smaller and smaller. Two months after I started
eating the seeds the growth on my back was nearly imperceptible. But that's
not the end of my story. After it looked as though my problem was taken care
of, I stopped eating the seeds. I stopped because I hate the way they taste.
I don't just dislike the way they taste, I hate the way they taste. For a
while after, I stopped eating the seeds and I was fine. But, after a few months I
realized that same growth on my back was returning. I didn't want to order
more seeds because I hated the taste, and I had so many things going on in
my life I just pushed that growth to the back burner (so to speak), I let it
go until it was a full two inches in length and an inch in width and stuck
off my back about one half inch. I could grab it like a knob or something
attached to my back that was surgically placed there. Finally the
rapid growth got my attention and really began to scare me. So, once again,
I ordered and started taking the seeds. I began a regimen of eating 40 seeds a
day. The first week that growth started to fester like the most horrendous
boil you've ever seen. It was so sore to the touch that I could barely move.
I was having trouble sleeping at night, but I kept on eating the seeds.
About three weeks into my regimen of eating 40 seed a day the dark festering
boil that once was only a growth began to ooze a white cottage cheese
looking substance. A week later it was oozing puss and blood. I started
placing 'drawing salve' on it to draw it all out. About two weeks into the
second month of eating 40 seeds a day, the top layer of skin came off when
my wife removed my clothes and revealed the most horrible looking hole in
my back you could imagine. It had four sections. Two of the sections had not
opened yet but there was a definite discernible segmentation of four
sections. The two sections that had opened up continued to ooze blood and
puss. By now some of the pain began to subside. Getting dressed was
becoming easier. Eventually the other two sections broke loose as well. As
they emptied themselves, and revealed a white thin cross-shaped diagram of
skin which had separated the compartments. At the end of the second month,
that skin diagram let go and the hole in my back began to turn pink and
started to heal over. I promise you judge, although I take a good
portion of supplemental products for my health, I was taking those products the
whole time that growth was growing. It wasn't until I began to take the
apricot seeds that it responded and was alleviated. So if the FDA is trying
to say this b17 is medical hogwash, they're wrong as they can be. It's true,
I never had my growth biopsied. But I know it was cancer! And, then too,
Judge, I assure you. I've eaten enough of these seeds to know if they're
poisonous or toxic to the body. They only make me feel better. The more of
them I eat; the better I feel! These things aren't toxic! They also aren't
patentable! Thanks for listening Judge. I hope this helps you!
Sincerely,

Your Honor:
My name is Timothy Bowman, Yucaipa, California. I ask the court to allow
Christian Brothers to continue to supply apricot seeds in bulk quantities.
My own personal healing of skin cancer in 1997 is due to the ingestion of
the apricot seed. Two quarter sized blotches on the back of my left hand,
and another on my left elbow, both diagnosed as early stage skin cancer,
disappeared after three to four weeks and have never reappeared. I continue
to consume 6-7 seeds daily as a maintenance dose. Your Honor, consider that
anyone is free to purchase apricots, peaches, nectarines, and other "stone
fruits." I do so freely and eat the raw seed from the pit of any of them.
Christian Brothers simply makes it easier to obtain the seed that I want to
buy as a finished product in bulk. I find the "stone" fruit seed no
different from other various nuts available in stories today. It is a
naturally occurring food. Are these good fruits to be banned too if you rule
against the sale of the apricot seed?
Thank you Your Honor for your
time, Timothy Bowman, Yucaipa, California.

Judge
Gleeson,
I am writing on behalf of Christian Brothers with regard to
the current attempt by the FDA to shut down Christian Brothers because of
their sale of Vitamin B-17 and educational materials relating to Vitamin
B-17. In December, I discovered a tumor on my left testicle. By March, the
tumor was still there and had grown to the size of a grape. I ordered
Vitamin B-17 and Apricot Seeds from Christian Brothers and after two weeks,
the tumor is completely gone. In total, my treatment consisted of the
elimination of coffee and carbonated beverages along with the addition of 2
grams of Vitamin B-17 daily, 4 grams of Vitamin C daily, and 3 grams of MSM
(Methylsulfonylmethane) daily. Vitamin B-17 was discovered nearly 50 years
ago and has been proven safe and effective in the treatment of cancer for
thousands of people for decades. The FDA calling it a "New Drug" saying that
"there is no evidence that [Vitamin B-17 is] generally recognized as safe
and effective for their intended uses" is a form of doublespeak, and is
literally incorrect. Vitamin B-17 is not harmful. The FDA was created to
protect the public from sham medical "cures" and unsafe food. What
business do they have preventing the distribution of educational materials
(especially educational materials that are the "evidence" they fail to
see)? On one hand, you have treatments consisting of ways to cut, burn
and poison the body; on the other, a naturally occurring herbal extract with
no known toxicity. It does not take a Ph.D. to figure out who has the sham
cure. Please do what you can to stop the obviously corrupt FDA from
continuing to oppress and murder the people of the United States for the
profit of an already rich few.
Sincerely,

Honorable Judge Gleeson:
I am writing this letter because
I am concerned. I am concerned about what is going on with the FDA and
Christian Brothers. The FDA is attempting to prohibit Christian Brothers
from selling apricot seeds and Vitamin B17(Laetrile). Exactly what is going
on here? Is it that --
1.) Apricot seeds/Vitamin B17 are
harmful to humans? -- I know of no truthfully documented cases of this
happening. Besides, common over the counter pain medications kill hundreds a
year, and they have never been outlawed by the FDA.
2.) Christian
Brothers is making false claims about the effectiveness of Apricot
Seeds/Vitamin B17? -- Surely not. You would only have to see and read the
hundreds, perhaps thousands of testimonies of people who have been helped by
this natural substance. Besides, if Apricot Seeds/Vitamin B17 was an
inert/ineffective substance, no one would be pursuing this issue. Also, the
effectiveness of Apricot Seeds/Vitamin B17 is widely known outside the USA.
Just think for a minute-- What if there was a highly effective treatment
for cancer, it occurred naturally, it was relatively inexpensive and easy to
administer, and could not be patented. This could potentially damage a
billion dollar industry quickly. I believe that pharmaceutical companies are not interested in curing cancer--only interested in making money.
I myself have benefited from the effectiveness of Apricot
Seeds/Vitamin B17, which among other things, helps lower blood pressure and
balance pancreatic functions such as hypoglycemia.
I pray that you
seek out the facts and use sound logic in your decision concerning this
matter. Not only is this an issue about the FDA and Christian Brothers, but
it is an issue about our freedoms and the ability to make our own
accountable personal decisions as Americans. I do not support the
increasing government involvement in making decisions for me; and, I do not
support the increasing trend in government bullying "Legislation by
Litigation".

Hi Jason Vale,
I am watching an HBO special named
"Cancer: Evolution to Revolution" that is intended to educate it's viewers
on the advances of cancer therapy. I am writing you this e-mail in complete
shock over the material they are reporting. I have been a true believer of
the benefits of vitamin B17 for over a year now and never miss a day without
my daily dosage. The program has reported the nature of cancer is best
described as a "traitor" of an individual cell in the body that decides to
reproduce itself. There has been no mention to dietary deficiencies that can
be the possible cause. I am watching children who are being poisoned with
chemo drugs and describe the pain they endure with this treatment. It's
heartbreaking. I have referred every person I know (including my immediate
family) to review the information listed in your web site. I've distributed
your video of "a world without cancer" in hopes to educate individuals of
this disease. The information given in this HBO presentation is in clear
conflict with your views. My question is: will you ever decide to go public
(a similar HBO special) with your life story to rebut the false information
being circulated to the viewers of pay television? I truly believe the
public has a right to know what other alternatives they have available to
them besides what the medical community has to offer.
Sincere
Regards,

Judge Gleeson,
My husband is in remission from
non-Hodgkin's lymphoma due to supplementing his nutrition with apricot
seeds. These seeds are such a blessing for a cancer patient. It is a tragedy
that in this country we cannot procure many plain whole foods without
government interference. One cannot understand the importance of obtaining
apricot seeds until one "has walked in the shoes of a cancer patient". Our
only source is from Jason Vale. Please do not put this small company out of
business. Who knows - you or your family might need a source of apricot
seeds to supplement nutrition when a condition attacks you. Many of us are
only trying to take care of ourselves the way that God intended in his holy
word. Thank you for your time.

Subject: Re: FDA trouble, more stories....
Jason,
What's with
them? I would like the federal government OUT of my life. I thought there
were laws passed recently that permitted herbal remedies to be sold under
the auspices of being "dietary supplements". Why do they want to put your
operation out of business? Actually, I "think" you and I both know why, but
I usually get accused of being a conspiracy theory whacko when I try to
explain. 1998 was a hard year for us. I left a job of nearly 13 years and
moved some 550 miles in advance of my family. We had trouble selling our
house where my wife and kids were, so I drove the distance nearly every
weekend to visit them. During this year, I came down (along with a lot of
other people) with a very nasty form of bronchitis that soon turned to
pneumonia. Doctors treating me over prescribed antibiotics and destroyed an
essential flora in my intestinal tract and I soon had serious problems! My
wife is a neuroscience RN and when I told her that I was taking the apricot
seeds for back pain brought on by long road trips and this illness, almost
the first thing she said was that I would poison myself because "everybody
knows apricot seeds have cyanide in them..." I've been exposed to cyanide
before and after eating the first two pounds over 60 days or so I was quite
convinced that there wasn't cyanide in the seeds I recovered VERY quickly
from this illness after I began eating the seeds. The backaches disappeared
within a week. The doctors told me that it could take more than a year to
fully recover. I had read in information provided by your site that taking
enough of the seeds would cause changes in moles on the skin. At one point,
after about a month of taking the seeds and feeling much better from the
intestinal ailment, I decided to up the number of seeds that I ate each day
from about 8 to 30. After about two weeks, I noticed that several moles in
various places on my body became tender and larger than usual. One in
particular was on the back of my neck and I've had it since I was about 6
years old (I'm 36 now). I can remember it getting nicked when I got
haircuts. It would bleed and was quite an annoyance. After eating this
increased number of seeds for about two weeks, this particular mole
literally came off on my finger when I rubbed it one morning. The really
strange thing is that there was practically NO blood and there's barely a
mark on my neck where it used to be. For the record, I am a fellow brother
in Christ, but am also skeptical of the claims made of laetrile and the
apricot seeds. However, I know what I've experienced know and you've got my
story. I'm not usually in the habit of discussing my health history with
strangers, but I believe there is medicinal value in the apricot seeds that
you supply and would hate for the federal government to put you out of
business.

Eastern District Court
RE: Vitamin B-17
Dear
Judge Gleeson,
I write this letter not only on my behalf, but also
for the many individuals I have worked with as a counselor throughout the
years who discovered the truth about cancer prevention and cure by using products
containing vitamin B-17, or Laetrile. I first learned of using the vitamin
therapy when one of my best friends from high school was conducting
nutritional research at UCLA Medical Center during the early 1970's.
Although his primary focus in research was sickle cell anemia, and also using
mega/opti dose levels of the B-Complex vitamins to stabilize schizophrenia,
he studied the positive effects of using laetrile (B-17) as a preventive for
cancer of every kind. At that time, I was interested in his research, but
not interested enough to begin using it myself. However, after nearly 20
years working with patients who had one form of cancer or another, I grew increasingly disgusted
and interested again in the
information my friend at UCLA Medical Center had shared with me 25 years ago.
I began to find out as much as I could about the use of B-17 not only as a
preventive for, but also as a cure for cancer. I discovered that the
different forms of the products had been made available once again in the United States,
and started eating the apricot seeds, and getting the rest of my family
started on them as well. We are all cancer-free, even my wife, whose mother
died after a horrible two-year battle with breast cancer, radical double
mastectomies, radiation and chemotherapy.
If you have not read the
book "World Without Cancer", then I suggest that unless you at least do that, any decision you make in favor of the FDA in this case will be
seriously flawed. Forgive me for being so bold, but I work in the State
Mental Health System here in Texas as the Court Liaison and as a trained
scientist. After working in the "disease industry" for many
years, I am appalled at the aggressive efforts of the research and
pharmaceutical companies who continue to use not only private, but public
monies to continue their well-funded attempts to discredit treatments and
therapies that actually work, because they could not increase their
profits by producing and marketing them they destroy them in order to
convince the general public that only THEY have what works. I believe that
when we look back on the 20th century, what we will be most ashamed of is that we allowed them
to make us believe that their treatment was actually about producing cures
instead of making money. It's an old unwritten rule that says..."if we cure
them, then we cannot keep them coming back, and if we cannot keep them
coming back..."
Make the best decision you can, but if you rule in
favor of the FDA as was done years ago, those of us using B-17 products will just have to
obtain them outside the US. And if it's a criminal offense then I
guess millions of us will become criminals, so be it. I'll NOT stop
supplying my body with B-17 because I am convinced that it works to not only
prevent cancer but cure it as well. Do me a favor as one who represents me
as a citizen, arm yourself with COMPLETE knowledge about laetrile and
don't give in to the side with the most money and influence,let the
truth guide your decision.
Thank You For Your Valuable
Time

Dear Judge Gleeson:
This letter it to
state that I currently take Vitamin B-17 to supplement my diet with apricot
seeds that have been supplied by Christian Brothers. I take these seeds
because I have experienced an overall improvement in my health since taking
them. I work in a chiropractic office and have seen several patients' health
improve since taking these seeds as well. I am concerned that the rumor that
I heard is true. Is the FDA really trying to withdrawal these seeds from the
open market? If you have anything to say about this matter, please hear the
people out.....WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO OBTAIN THESE SEEDS THROUGH CHRISTIAN
BROTHERS FOREVER. It seems silly to make a mandate against the selling of a
seed that is found in a food source that is so readily available to the
public. What would be next, no more sunflower or pumpkin seeds? That is
silly. The seeds of fruits and vegetables often contain the most nutrients
of the fruit. What does the FDA support, the bioengineering of fruits that
will have no seeds? That sounds healthy and natural. It will be only a few
short years before there will be some major problem being caused by the
bioengineering process. Perhaps they should focus more on the drugs that
they approve. It seems that everyday more and more drugs that the public was
told were completely safe are being pulled off the market because of serious
side effects. If you look at the track record of the FDA, you will see that
its not too good. Please contact me at (203) 829-6670 if you have any
questions.
Thank you,

TO YOUR HEALTH!!! RAY Ek
Honorable
Judge Gleeson,
We are currently facing an epidemic of preventable
cancer here in the U.S. due to the extreme amounts of processed foods that
have no value to our health. I have an uncle who has prostate cancer who is
paying $1200 for 1 pill and 1 injection. We have several close friends that
were just recently diagnosed with cancer and know several other people that
have been battling cancer for several years but are losing this fight. The
"treatments" (Chemo and Radiation) that are so widely used here in this
country destroy the immune system. My wife and I have researched cancer for
the past several years and are totally convinced that cancer is a vitamin
deficiency and is totally preventable despite what the A.M.A., F.D.A. and
especially the big money monopoly PHARMACEUTICALS have to say. Melissa and I
have been eating the apricot seeds and the vitamin b-17 for more than two
months now. Each of us are currently eating 6 seeds per day for prevention.
Melissa has always had severe constipation following her menstrual cycle and
sometimes wouldn't have a bowel movement for days and upon several occasions
even considered taking her to the doctor. The apricot seeds gave her
immediate relief and has not had a problem since! I myself have had problems
with constipation but have not one problem since eating the seeds and I feel
very good. Thank God neither one of us have cancer and certainly will do
what it takes to prevent it. We have never had any ill effects what so ever
after eating the apricot seeds, in fact we rather look forward to eating
them. We can't afford health insurance because it is so ridiculously
expensive. Five months ago I had an ray and a 15 min. doctors visit and it
cost me $250. We sincerely hope that with all of the testimonials of the
benefits from the apricot seeds that you will allow those who wish to chose
this method of treatment or prevention will be allowed to do so. It is a sad
shame that monopolies are allowed to dictate the type of treatment we can
and cannot receive. In this case the seeds are natural therapy and natural
prevention. Your Honor, the apricots we purchase at the fruit stands,
grocery stores and grow ourselves have these seeds, will the F.D.A. try to
keep us from eating those too?
Thank you for your time and may God
bless you,
Mark and Melissa Harden
Marseilles, IL.
God
bless you and we are in prayer for you! |
