G. Edward Griffin makes the case that cancer is not a mysterious invader but a deficiency disease, comparable to scurvy or pellagra, caused by the absence of a compound he calls vitamin B17, better known as Laetrile or amygdalin, found in apricot kernels and other seeds. The film argues that modern diets stripped this compound out of common food generations ago and that its return could prevent and even treat tumors, a claim mainstream oncology and regulators have long rejected and that led to Laetrile's ban as a cancer drug in the United States. Griffin lays out the history of that suppression, framing the medical establishment and pharmaceutical industry as invested in chemotherapy and radiation over a cheap, unpatentable dietary fix. Testimonials and Griffin's own commentary carry most of the argument rather than clinical trial data. It is presented as advocacy for a fringe theory, not a balanced survey of cancer research, and works best watched alongside what actual oncologists say about Laetrile's tested effectiveness.
