Anyone hear of this as part of an alternative treatment?  Just wondering if it is legit.

    Not a vitamin at all

    It is apricot pits, aka Laetrile aka arsenic.  Cancer doesn't like arsenic but neither does every other cell in your body.  It is a toxin but so is chemo so you take your choice.  Problems: how many pits to eat, consistency of arsenic between the pits.
