Yes, but it has suggested that B17 is powerful as a preventative, but not as 
a cure.  You need to eat the core of the apple and the grape pits.  The 
research that led some years ago to the use of laetrile in Mexico was based, 
like so many cancer drugs, on the non sequitur that if a substance was shown 
to powerfully prevent the generation of cancer, then  a lot of it might cure 
or arrest it once it has established itself.
