This book promotes dangerous claims. Vitamin B17, also known as laetrile or amygdalin, is not actually a vitamin at all - it's a compound found in apricot pits and some other seeds that breaks down into cyanide in the body: https://www.livestrong.com/article/286441-fruits-vegetables-that-contain-vitamin-b17/ https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/b17-vitamin The FDA has banned its sale in the United States: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/laetrile-vitamin-b17
