The Health Ranger Mike Adams talked about the use of the apricot kernel as an anti-cancer treatment during his 12th sermon on the “Health Ranger Report,” part of his 100 Sermons series.
The Bible nutrition educator’s sermon was based on a verse from the book of Deuteronomy in the Old Testament. The verse reads: “He found him in a desert land. And in a wasteland, a howling wilderness; He encircled him, he instructed him, He kept him as the apple of his eye.” (Deuteronomy 32:10)
According to Adams, the late author and botanist Dr. James A. Duke wrote that apricots were actually not indigenous to the Mediterranean region, especially during the time of the Old Testament.
“They were not there. They didn’t have apples, and so they referred to apricots as apples – and apricots are native to China. Apricot seeds were, of course, transported to the Mediterranean,” Adams said. “Apricots have long been abundant in Israel and were most probably introduced in biblical times.”
Adams mentioned that apricot is relevant to God’s medicine because it has a kernel, which contains a compound called laetrile or vitamin B17.
However, Duke reportedly warned that the apricot kernel contains a toxic compound called hydrogen cyanide – commonly called prussic acid. He noted that laetrile is a compound that can either cure or kill depending on the dosage.
Duke also mentioned that the kernel produces an edible oil that is sometimes used as an almond oil substitute. Apricot seeds are also used like almonds in Afghanistan, while the apricot kernels are used to make almond cookies or ground into flour in China.
Adams shared that there are many drink mixes in Taiwan, China and Hong Kong that rely on either a combination of almond seed, almond flour or apricot seed flour. Some of these instant drink mixes are marketed for good health, he added.
According to the Health Ranger, the laetrile story picked up in the 1950s and 1960s in the U.S. when San Francisco-based physician Dr. John A. Richardson began using laetrile to address cancer. Richardson’s 1977 book titled “Laetrile Case Histories: The Richardson Cancer Clinic Experience” documented this use of laetrile from apricot kernels.
G. Edward Griffin, one of Richardson’s friends, also wrote about laetrile in his work titled “World Without Cancer.” With the help of Richardson, Griffin laid out in the book the very compelling case that laetrile in apricot seeds selectively destroys cancer tumors.

The Natural News and Brighteon.com founder added that many people have used apricot kernels as a form of natural medicine in order to prevent or treat cancer with the help of naturopathic physicians. According to him, there is something about laetrile that attracts it to cancer tumors.
“They have treated various diagnoses of cancer and laetrile has been described as a kind of naturopathic chemotherapy. It is apparently very toxic, or cytotoxic to cancer cells. But at the proper dose, it is not toxic to the rest of the body,” Adams said.
“The cells take up the toxic components of the laetrile compounds. And then those cells end up killing themselves off while the rest of the cells in the body are okay. But then again, if someone were to take in a massive dose of this [laetrile], they could actually kill themselves. They could kill the whole body.”
Adams stressed that laetrile is toxic at high doses, citing Duke’s warning that a double apricot kernel is enough to kill a man. If eaten in excess the apricot fruit is believed to harm the bones and muscles, promote blindness and falling hair, numb mental facilities and injure pregnant women.
Ultimately, the Bible nutrition educator issued a disclaimer that he wasn’t offering medical advice or intending to replace a naturopathic physician. He advised people to research on their medical situation if they have one.
