I’m looking for some advice/experience of others . To be frank, I have never believed much in homeopathy, and see most of it as either “quack science” or useful in a placebo sense only . However, I have been guided to the taking of these Apricot seeds (bitter white seeds INSIDE apricot kernels) by a couple of enthusiasts who truly believe the “science”
A Doctor friend who is a Professor of Audiology (sic) at a London hospital mentioned the above to me a couple of weeks ago. (big homeopathy fan). He was a raving disciple. Tells anyone that will listen and has converted professional colleagues.
I spoke to my Consultant at UCHL who was non-committal, but confirmed these crushed seeds (crushed so they are not simply passed) would NOT compromise the chemo course I’m on. (Revlimid plus Dex). I was concerned as obviously BOTH are toxic. (Apricot seeds contain cyanide – like apple seeds).
Obviously I would like to hear the views of others on this. (If it’s been discussed before, my apologies – a link to those discussions to me will suffice). Has anyone tried / failed / suffered side-effects? Has anyone had contrary advice about the toxicity of apricot seeds?
Here’s what I found:

PS: Spurred on, I also checked out “Myeloma Beacon” – one thing that is often repeated in homeopathic context is to minimise sugar as “cancer cells feed on it”. I like to think we would all be doing that already anyway for the usual health reasons, but it was noteworthy. Beetroot juice is also listed as particularly good.
