Amygdalin has a double punch. It lowers cancers resistance to treatment and it releases cyanide to kill cancer cells directly. Doctors at Oasis of Hope have experienced positive results with amygdalin. These results encourage us to continue offering laetrile to our patients. Laterile should be looked at as a therapy that can be combined with additional alternative cancer treatments and/or other anti-tumor agents. This is the appropriate future of amygdalin. Oasis of Hope uses amygdalin (Laetrile) to attack the tumor. The cyanide released by amygdalin is one of the best killers of malignant cells as well. At Oasis of Hope, we do not use amygdalin as a stand-alone drug. We capitalize on its ability to make tumors more susceptible to other therapies. This is why we have a multifaceted program which includes: chemotherapy, lymphocyte treatment, Vitamin –C therapy, sodium bicarbonate, UV light irradiation, and ozone.
By sensitizing the cancer, we are able to avoid using aggressive therapies that can destroy the patient’s quality of life. It is time for physicians to consider how to use amygdalin in combination with conventional therapies at lower, non-aggressive dosages. Amygdalin, combined with vitamin C, can deplete glutathione and cysteine in tumor cells and make it possible to destroy the cancer with integrative cancer therapies. My Father is the Poster Child for Laetrile Laetrile is the pharmaceutical extract from apricot kernels. Maybe the most controversial alternative cancer therapy, laetrile has a cyanide radical that’s neutralized (rendered harmless) by the rhodanese enzyme in healthy cells; cancer cells, deficient of rhodanese, succumb to the cyanide. In a number of clinical trials, results seem to skew toward the opinion of whoever is conducting; individual case studies do point to laetrile’s efficacy and safety. We’ve used amygdalin, its natural form, with tens of thousands of patients and consider it an effective adjuvant (but not standalone) cancer therapy.
Laetrile Cancer Vaccine FAQs Q : If amygdalin can be so helpful, why aren’t more cancer treatment centers using it? A : The first argument is that it can be toxic because it contains cyanide. The second argument is that it doesn’t work. Q : What about the argument that laetrile is not effective? A : The only study ever published on the use of laetrile in cancer patients was sponsored by the National Cancer Institute and conducted at the Mayo Clinic and three other prominent oncological centers in the USA. The results were published in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) in 1982. In this article “A clinical trial of amygdalin (laetrile) in the treatment of human cancer,” Dr. Moertel, the head researcher, reported that of the 178 patients that were accepted in the study “not one patient was cured or even stabilized” by laetrile. Furthermore he said that “several patients experienced symptoms of cyanide toxicity” and that “blood levels of cyanide approaching the lethal range” were reported.
“Laetrile has had its day in court…” says Moertel and ends authoritatively, “The evidence, beyond reasonable doubt, is that it [laetrile] doesn’t benefit patients with advanced cancer, and there is no reason to believe that it would be any more effective in the earlier stages of the disease.” What’s disappointing about the article is the editorial bias of the NEJM. Why did the NCI and the Mayo Clinic bypass all scientific protocol? This study had no control group. It was not designed properly and not one of the researchers had any experience with laetrile. The NEJM, in normal conditions, will not publish studies that are not peer reviewed by experts on the subject. There are very few laetrile experts and all have worked with Dr. Francisco Contreras. Q : How does Laetrile Kill Cancer Cells? A : Tumors can become resistant to chemotherapy, radiation or whatever else you throw at it. It would make sense that if you could dismantle cancer’s defenses, you could then take it out, right?
What are the ways that cancer defends itself? One way is that tumors encapsulate themselves with blood vessels that are so restricted that antitumor agents can’t get through. Another way is that tumors amass high concentrations of a substance called glutathione. Glutathione is the element that makes tumors resistant to treatment. Is there a way to lower the levels of glutathione in tumors so that they would become sensitized to anticancer treatments? The answer is yes. For glutathione to be produced in the cells, it needs another substance called cysteine. Q : Is there a way to lower the level of Cysteine?Cyanide depletes the supply of cysteine. Q : Isn’t cyanide a poison? A : Cyanide is toxic to our body but it will not make us sick in very low doses derived from a whole food source. You eat cyanide-rich food everyday if you eat apricots, pineapples, apples, or any of the other thousand cyanide-toting foods found in nature. The cyanide in these foods is present in a nutrient called amygdalin.
Amygdalin can release cyanide within malignant cells, depleting the supply of cysteine. As a result, the intracellular concentration of glutathione is diminished. This will sensitize the tumors to antitumor treatments including Ozone therapy, Lymphocyte treatments, and high dose vitamin-C.

Oxidative Therapies like: Ozone, Exercise with Oxygen therapy (EWOT), Ultraviolet blood irradiation (UVBI) with ozone, hydrogen peroxide, High dose IV Vitamin C, Autohemotherapy, and even deep breathing all use higher than typical concentrations of oxygen to promote tissue cleansing and repair, balance the immune system, and detoxify the body. Oxidative therapy should only be used by professionals who have been fully trained in its use.
The Kotsanis Institute uses training by Dr. Shallenberger. Oxygen is used in multiple necessary processes like converting sugar to energy (ATP) in the body and as a first line defense against bacteria, virus, yeast, and parasites. Without oxygen and its oxidative ways, life as we know it would not exist. The use of ozone to treat various medical conditions was first developed in Germany in the early 1950’s. Today, medical ozone therapy is common throughout Europe and has gradually been spreading in America over the last 25 years. Ozone can be injected directly, used in a steam sauna, mixed with blood and injected (autohemotherapy), given using rectal insulation, used inside bagged areas of the body, or used in conjuction with chelation (chezone). We find that oxygen introduced to the body in different ways can potentiate health in different ways. For example, autohemotherapy excels at enhancing immune cell function at the membrane level while altitude training can promotes post workout recovery by dealing with excess lactic acid.
Connecting the proper oxidative therapy to desired health goals can go a long way in helping patients reach their goals. What Types of Oxidative Therapies are offered at The Kotsanis Institute: Ozone Autohemotherapy – Mixing patient’s blood with Ozone and returning the blood via IV UltraViolet Blood Irradiation Therapy with Ozone (Chezone) – Exercise with Oxygen therapy (also called altitude training) HOCATT Sauna – uses steam, ozone, oxygen, rife frequency, ultrasound, aromatherapy sauna Pulsed hydrogen peroxide IV – usually ordered in a series over more than one day No vitamins the day of No eating for 20 minutes High dose vitamin C – oxidative only as a high dose IV requires one test to determine abnormal Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency How does oxidation therapy work? The oxygen you breathe is present in the air as a pair of oxygen atoms. Unlike atmospheric oxygen, which is composed of 2 bound oxygen atoms, ozone (composed of three oxygen atoms) and hydrogen peroxide (H202 – essentially water with an additional weakly bound oxygen), both have a readily reactive singlet oxygen.
It is the reactivity of the oxygen atom that gives ozone and H2O2 its remarkable medical properties. High dose vitamin C works by increasing the amount of H2O2 in the body as well as behaving like a pro-oxidant. The 5 ways ozone works Immunomodulation – When the immune system is overactive (auto-immune diseases like lupus), ozone will calm it down. When the immune system is under active Chronic disease like cancer), ozone will stimulate it. It does this working at the membrane level of white blood cells, your immune cells, by stimulating production of immune messenger molecules call cytokines. This unique ability of ozone stems from its action on the membranes of white cells, causing them to produce cytokines. Stimulation of DPG – Diphosphoglycerate (DPG), is an enzyme that enables the release of oxygen from the hemoglobin making it available for cellular use. Inadequate amounts of DPG will create a lack of usable oxygen. Improve circulation – Ozone improves the ability of the blood to flow properly.
More blood flow equates to more available oxygen to tissues previously affected by impaired circulation.Ozone’s reactivity provides a defense against harmful antioxidants. Mitochondrial Stimulation – Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell and chronic disease is often associated with decreased mitochondrial function. Ozone stimulates mitochondria and can correct this disfunction. 5 Ways IV HYDROGEN PEROXIDE (H2O2) Works Hydrogen peroxide is a naturally occurring molecule, even produced by our own white blood cell as perioxizome to assist in phagocytosis. Introduced as a therapy, it has similar properties to ozone in that H2O2 has an extra weakly bound oxygen. Unlike ozone though, this oxygen molecule can bind semi-permanently to cytochrome-c, allowing for complete circulation throughout the body where the singlet oxygen is released and clinically used. H2O2 has the ability to reach areas of the body not easily accessible by more highly reactive ozone. It does these things when used properly:
H2O2 oxidizes with a provided singlet oxygen, oxidizing biological waste products and industrial toxins, rendering them more easily eliminated by the body Doubles enzymatic metabolism rate mitochondria enabling the body to cleanse itself of toxins, providing energy needed to attain and maintain health Kill or inhibits growth of bacteria, viruses, and funguses. Disease tissue often harbors unhealthy levels of anaerobes. An increase in mitochondrial metabolism also accounts for part of this property Dissolve cholesterol and calcium deposits associated with atherosclerosis, known in a 1960 Bailor study as chelox. This result, which is similar to chelation, makes it a good treatment for vascular disorders. Some find benefits to Stoke patients if used soon enough. Produces oxygen bubbles in the alveoli (tiny air sacs in the lungs), lifting the mucus deposits up, making removal by coughing easier. Clears the skin, giving a more youthful translucent clarity usually
How High does vitamin C work: Increases H2O2 – see above Pro-oxidant effects – in high enough concentrations, vitamin C oxidization is similar to that of a reactive singlet oxygen Is Oxidation Therapy For Me?
