1，文中说John Richardson（权且当作是他）27个月因Laetrile获利250万，文中又说Laetrile几乎没有疗效，这对我来说有些矛盾。因为美国人口不象中国那么密集，得癌症的人口更加少，他是怎么忽悠患者在27个月买了他价值250万的没有疗效的药物呢？

关于苦杏仁素从业人员和行业的巨额盈利和苦杏仁素毒性的深度了解 我抄录了一小段（小字体部分）
“she accompanied her husband to Dr. Richardson’s office when he went there for treatment. He received vitamin B15 with laetrile. She brought one of the vitamin B15 bottle to the court…That bottle bears the label Krebs Laboratories…the bottle of B15 cost $15.00. She stated that she paid over $3000 to Dr. Richardson for her husband’s treatment”
下面有一个花了十万美元的例子（大概不是Richardson的病人）
“She spent approximately $100,000 dollars on these quack/worthless treatments that gave her false hope, which her insurance paid nothing for.” In 2005 my sister, who was also quite healthy, was diagnosed with clinical stage I breast cancer, low grade, with a very good prognosis. Unfortunately, she refused surgery and all other recommended adjuvant treatment for her cancer(anti-hormone therapy/tamoxifen, possible chemo), refused to return to the surgeon and oncologist, and instead embarked on a course of naturopathic and alternative medicine, including an organic vegan diet, juicing and consuming carrots until her face literally turned yellow-orange, vitamin infusions, laetrile, insulin potentiation therapy, etc. She also walked miles every day (until she was too weak to walk). Over the course of the next 8 1/2 years, the lumps in her breast got bigger and bigger, the tumors even ulcerating/oozing through her breast, her arm began to swell with lymphedema from the lymph node involvement, and then she got bone pain, at which point we knew the cancer was metastatic (she wouldn't get scans because, well, radiation causes cancer, you know; such is the logic of those who have a propensity for alternative medicine). This all occurred over the course of 8 1/2 years from time of diagnosis. Oh, and she also thought Jesus was going to heal her. Well, guess what. Jesus didn't come through and neither did any of the alternative medicine treatments--which really aren't medicine at all, as alternative quite simply means there have been no controlled studies to prove their effectiveness. She spent approximately $100,000 dollars on these quack/worthless treatments that gave her false hope, which her insurance paid nothing for. My beautiful sister died a horrific death in January, cachectic/looking like a prisoner of war, gasping for air with her tongue hanging out, trying to hold onto her life/not go to sleep forever. That scene is forever imprinted in my mind. Unfortunately, she had a husband who had a propensity for alternative medicine and who encouraged her along this path of destruction throughout, instead of trying to get her to return to the doctors, and none of us could convince her otherwise. At her funeral, my brother-in-law said she lived LONGER because of the course she took (receiving no conventional treatment/only receiving alternative treatments and praying to God). My brother, who is an M.D., stood at the back, and every time my brother-in-law said something untrue about my sister's cancer, her prognosis, or the course of alternative medicine and God that she pursued, my brother shook his head "no." She left seven children behind, not to mention some devastated and angry family members (those of us who did not support what she did). Unfortunately, like my sister, you don't seem to understand the significance of staging in cancer. A stage III lung cancer, which your friend had, does not have a good prognosis even with conventional medical treatment. A stage I (as well as low-grade/non-aggressive) breast cancer, which my sister had, does have a good prognosis--that is why my sister lived 8 1/2 years in spite of leaving the tumors in place to spread/metasticize. My sister is dead because she refused conventional treatment (the surgery was the single-most important thing she could have done. We spent 8+ years watching her slowly spiral towards her death. Your friend did not die because she had conventional treatment or because she refused alternative treatment; she died because, like the vast majority of lung cancer patients, she was diagnosed with late-stage disease (my understanding is that most lung cancers are already metastatic/stage IV at the time of diagnosis, which means that they are not curable). With a Stage III diagnosis, unfortunately your friend did not have a good prognosis. It is unfortunate, but those are the facts.
2， 还有关于John Richardson的人品。如果他就是一个唯利是图的人，他的朋友（我忘了名字了）怎么会愿意站出来为他说话？要知道他已经锒铛入狱，面对的是国家机器和强大的正规医疗部门。如果你我是他的朋友，会在什么情况下愿意站出来为他说话？
Richardson是John Birch Society的人，他们会为他说话。可能不是人品问题，有政治因素卷入。一个简单的例子，希特勒是坏人，但他的拥护者数以百万计。
3，文中说的是美国的情况，可我看了许多视频都是澳大利亚的病人在用苦杏仁并宣称有效果，他们又是被谁鼓动的呢？如果讲的不是实话的话。
病人多数是真诚的，但很多时候他们分不清到底是药物的作用，还是其所患癌症并不非常恶性的关系。有一些也同时化疗，但他们将效果归功于苦杏仁。请参考Chad Green的例子和上面的花了十万元治癌的例子。
4，关于苦杏仁的毒性。在我的家乡，苦杏仁是用来做小菜的，我家弟弟们超喜欢吃，而且他们每天的食用量绝不只10颗（冬天）。我想说的是，现在网上对各种东西的毒性宣传太多了，比如豆腐+菠菜等等，20多岁的时候我听了会吓得要死，但现在我更相信从自己和身边人身上得出的结论。
“桃养人，杏害人，李子树下埋死人”，这是我们老家的说法。网上以讹传讹的太多，有判断能力非常重要
我不是想证明苦杏仁就是能治疗癌症，我就是在学习，想通过各种渠道了解到底它能不能治疗癌症。
希望您多多从各方面了解实情。If something sounds too good to be true, it is most likely not true.
