Therapies and Protocols (B17 METABOLIC THERAPY)

Phase 1 - The First 21 Days

The initial phase consists of a 21-day therapy in which clinics include the intravenous form of B17, sometimes combined with the tissue-penetrating agent DMSO and high doses of Vitamin C. However 500mg amygdalin (B17) tablets, together with apricot kernels, are often employed for home use if intravenous treatment is not available. Supplementary therapies in Phase 1 include pancreatic enzymes, Vitamin C, antioxidants, emulsified vitamins A & E, BarleyGreen powder, shark cartilage (100% pure), multivitamins, Pangamic Acid (vitamin B-15), AHCC and actual whole foods that contain B17 (e.g. apricot seeds). Detoxification and full nutritional supplementation procedures are also rigorously followed.

Phase 2 - The Next 3 Months

The second phase consists of Vitamin B 17/amygdalin tablets, apricot seeds, enzymes, Vitamins A, C and E, shark cartilage and the continuing detoxification and nutritional procedures initiated in Phase 1.

OR

PHASE I ORAL

Injectable/IV Amygdalin is replaced with 500mg Amygdalin tablets. Dr. Contreras recommends 2 of these tablets with each meal for a total of 6 per day. Otherwise the ORAL Phase 1 includes the same materials as above. It can be purchased for home use.

· Vitamin B17 500 mg tablets: 2 tablets three times daily with meals (6 daily). This is the most convenient and most frequently used method of Amygdalin administration. The tablet size is 500mg. If you have difficulty swallowing, the tablets may be broken up and added to soft food. If there is a gastric disturbance, then you should take one tablet six times daily. If you find that you are getting nauseous cut the tablets in half and have one every waking hour. It is a good idea to have some food in the stomach just before taking the vitamin.
