The Truth About Cancer<br />
<strong>the</strong> diet of <strong>the</strong> people in modern societies where <strong>cancer</strong> rates are high<br />
and you find <strong>the</strong>re’s practically no Amygdaline at all. it’s just a<br />
complete—its an eye opener. And what are those cultures Well, <strong>the</strong><br />
hunzas [ph] I think you mentioned a moment ago are probably <strong>the</strong> best<br />
known little kingdom up in Northwest Pakistan and it’s a very idealic<br />
place I’m told. The story Shangri-La <strong>the</strong>y say was actually written based<br />
upon hunza as <strong>the</strong> model. Everybody knows <strong>the</strong> story of Shangri-La.<br />
Well, hunza is pretty much like that. it’s very remote. You risk your life<br />
getting into it. And I always thought I wanted to go visit Hunza after I<br />
read <strong>about</strong> it until I saw some photographs of <strong>the</strong>se deep ravines that<br />
you have to walk across on a rope bridge and <strong>about</strong> it’s <strong>about</strong> a mile<br />
and a half straight down. You go along <strong>the</strong> cliffs like this. I was like, no,<br />
I think I’ll just read a book <strong>about</strong> it. But anyway. That is really <strong>the</strong> way it<br />
was. I guess <strong>the</strong>y have a road in now.<br />
The people in Hunza never had <strong>cancer</strong>. But afterwards when <strong>the</strong>y come<br />
out of Hunza and <strong>the</strong>y go into o<strong>the</strong>r countries and <strong>the</strong>y start eating <strong>the</strong><br />
same foods that those people eat <strong>the</strong>y come down with <strong>cancer</strong> live<br />
everyone else. In Hunza, at least in <strong>the</strong> beginning when all this research<br />
was done <strong>the</strong>re was no such thing as money. it’s kind of a primitive<br />
society. And a man’s wealth was measured by <strong>the</strong> number of apricot<br />
trees he owns. And people apricot seeds <strong>the</strong>re, a little sweeter than <strong>the</strong><br />
ones in California but still loaded with amygdaline and <strong>the</strong>y eat <strong>the</strong>m like<br />
candy. It was like a delicacy <strong>the</strong>re. Well, <strong>the</strong>y’re just one example. There<br />
are o<strong>the</strong>r cultures, <strong>the</strong> Vilcabambas, <strong>the</strong> Navajo and <strong>the</strong> Hopi Indians,<br />
<strong>the</strong> aboriginal Eskimos. All of those cultures had zero or very low <strong>cancer</strong><br />
rates. And if you look at <strong>the</strong> native diet in every case <strong>the</strong>ir foods are at<br />
least 200 times, if not more, rich in amygdaline than anything that you<br />
would find in a major city or even in <strong>the</strong> countryside in our western<br />
world. So that’s a clue. And so <strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong> next question is, well, what is<br />
this thing, amygdaline, how does it work it’s very simple. Amygdaline is<br />
a molecule that has four components in it locked toge<strong>the</strong>r. They’re two<br />
components of sugar or glucose. There’s one component of cyanide.<br />
And <strong>the</strong>re’s <strong>the</strong> world that scares people. We’ll come back to that in a<br />
minute—and one component of benzaldehyde. Now people say, wow,<br />
cyanide. You want to take cyanide to treat <strong>cancer</strong>.<br />
Ty: Right.<br />
G. Edward Griffin: And <strong>the</strong> answer is yes, of course. Well, doesn’t<br />
cyanide kill you Well, yes, if it’s real pure, gaseous cyanide. If it’s pure<br />
cyanide, yes. But when it’s in a molecule with o<strong>the</strong>r components it’s not<br />
cyanide. it’s something else. it’s like vitamin B-12. it’s called<br />
cyanocobalamin. We would be dead if we didn’t have cyanide in our<br />
bodies in that form. In cyanocobalamin it’s not cyanide. it’s<br />
cyanocobalamine. It’s a molecule that’s made up of one of <strong>the</strong><br />
