Fionine was not originally designed to be discovered by myself. My brother is severely allergic to all things related to Fionine, so I was never allowed to be near Fionine or anything like her. After my brother left the house to pursue a degree from the University of Georgia, my sister asked my mother if we could get a Fionine and the answer was yes! We (my sister and I) very excitedly soon search the Internet about all subjects related to Fionine. We soon after came across an ad trying to sell little Fionine puppies.

It is also present in plants such as lima beans, clover and sorghum. Laetrile, on the other hand, is a partly man made (synthetic) form of the natural substance Amygdalin. The greatest concentration is found in the seeds of the rosaceous fruits, such as apricot kernels and other bitter nuts. There are many seeds, cereals and vegetables containing minimal quantities of vitamin B17 and form part of our daily diet. There has been no negative claims due to inadequate nutrient intake but there has been noted side effects caused by excessive amount of the said nutrient in the body. Throughout the years, there’s still no scientific evidence to support claims that laetrile or amygdalin can treat cancer or any other illness, it has been promoted as an alternative cancer treatment. As of today, Laetrile (B-17) is the considered a chief anti-tumor agent. It’s been used on Metabolic therapy, a non-toxic cancer treatment based on the use of Vitamin B- 17, proteolyticpancreatic enzymes, immuno-stimulants, and vitamin and mineral supplements.…
