Episode Description:
“Vitamin B17” sounds harmless — even helpful.
But, sadly, it isn’t a vitamin at all.
In fact, vitamin B17 (also called amygdalin or laetrile) breaks down into cyanide inside the body. And during cancer treatment, that poison goes to your liver — not your tumor.
In our newest blog post & video, Dr. Chaplin explains why vitamin B17 is one of the most persistent and dangerous cancer myths still promoted in alternative and integrative medicine.
You’ll learn:
- What vitamin B17 actually is
- Why it causes liver damage during chemotherapy
- Why pills can be more toxic than IV infusions
- Why decades of research show no cancer benefit
This is not an attack on integrative care. It’s about protecting your body and making sure “supportive” treatments don’t quietly undermine your cancer therapy.
