Edward Griffin
in his research and book, ‘World without cancer, the story of
vitamin B17’, says that B17 stimulates haemoglobin red blood
cell count. Griffin believes many ailments of man could be
related to a simple vitamin B17 deficiency. It is noteworthy,
that in some ethnic cultures, where the way of life has been a
very simple diet with cassava as a staple food, cancer is a very
rare occurrence.
