APRICOT RECIPES
Apricots have high levels of vitamins A (beta-carotene) and C and are a good source of potassium. Apricots also contain iron, calcium, phosphorus, and fiber.
In California, apricots are harvested in mid-May for about two months. Select plump, firm fruit with a slight aroma and orange color.
Do not let apricots touch each other - you'll end up with brown spots where they've been in contact.
Ripe fruit should be refrigerated.
To ripen firm fruit, keep at room temperature or place in a paper bag with an apple or a banana.

Fresh Fruit and Custard Tart - Serves 6
Recipe by eVitamins
Ingredients
2 - 4 cups of ripe, fresh fruit to use for topping the tart.
Custard:
One 10-inch (25cm) tart-shell
1 3/4 cups (420mL) vanilla-flavored soy drink
4 egg yolks
1/4 cup (50g) fruit sweetener
1/4 cup (30g) cornstarch
Yellow glaze:
1 cup (340g) unsweetened apricot jam
1/4 cup (60mL) water
Directions -
Place soy drink in a heavy bottom saucepan over medium heat and let simmer.
Whip yolks, sweetener and cornstarch with an electric mixer until fluffy. With mixer at low speed, pour 1/2 cup (120mL) of hot soy drink into the mixture.
Pour yolk mixture into remaining soy drink on stove, whisking constantly. Raise heat and use both whisk and rubber spatula to keep the custard free of lumps as it comes to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer custard for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Immediately pour hot custard into a bowl; directly cover its surface with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
To make the glaze:
In a small pan bring the jam and water to a full boil. Lower heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Strain the mixture through a sieve. Use while still hot.
To assemble the tart:
Brush the inside of the baked and cooled tart-shell with hot yellow glaze. Let the glaze cool 5 minutes before smoothing custard in bottom of the tart-shell.
Arrange fruit in concentric circles over the custard working from the outside towards the center. Place the fruit in overlapping layers or close together so that as little of the custard shows through as possible.
Brush remaining hot glaze over fruit for shine and to hold fruit in place.
Chill the tart for at least 1 hour before serving.

The Healthy Benefits of Apricot Seed
Comments from Amazon Customers:
I started using this product approx. 8 years ago. We (my family of 7) mainly take them when we start feeling sick. It's hard to make yourself chew them because of the taste but it helps - for sure. I was convinced this would help boost the immune system from the beginning when 2 of my children who had some warts on feet and hands were healed!-never to return! No kidding! Approx. 3-4 mo. after we started this regimen my oldest said, "hey Mom, you know those warts on my foot are gone!" Well, it makes sense. Warts are viral and they say many cancers start as viral (ie genital warts can lead to cervical or uterine ca).
My #4 child (who'd secretly been discarding the seeds) then started truly taking hers and the warts on her hand dried up and fell off. I was convinced! I'm an RN and I'd love to find out if this has helped others in this way, especially if they have VD-warts. Women or men who have this have to go through painful burning- off process which, most of the time, comes back!
For the children, I would give them seeds based on their age: 3yrs-3seeds, 5yrs-5seeds, etc. to a max. of 7 seeds daily. Now my kids are almost all teens and it's diff. to make them take the seeds. One son, who's wrestler at school, got a very large cluster of warts on his knee this year and started taking them for a few months (sporadically) and the wart cluster is now gone.
I was just browsing the internet to find a good grinder. I thought mixing the seeds in yogurt or other foods would increase mine and my family's compliance in taking them regularly. I hope you all find this helps!
This is the same brand that Dr. Michael B Schachter takes himself. He has been curing people from cancer with laetrile for over 20 years! The Oasis of Hope Hospital in Mexico ([...]) recommends that you take 12 kernels to prevent cancer. So eat that FDA!
Wish I could give a thousand stars for these. They saved my vision and probably my eye. I was exposed to heavy metals and had a compromised immune system for a time. During this time I found a tumor next to my left eye. Then it grew, and grew. I tried many many things to fix it. I tried raw ACV, vitamin c/b12, baking soda, raw vegetables, colloidal silver, mega dosing iodine, raw acv with honey, and a combination of all of those. For a while the ACV would stop the pain, which was great. But then it was like the cancer got immune to it and the result was no effect. Raw vegetables dramatically effected the cancer, even shredding it some days, I could literally feel it getting smaller. Unfortunately it also grew somewhat immune to that and regrew after a while. I ate a lot of raw food to begin with but sometimes that just isn't enough.
I finally found this huge online video about how big pharmacy companies were obscuring the truth behind natural medicine. They listed several different cures that made sense. The baking soda especially but that seemed to be work better when injected near the tumor. Essiac
also seemed like a good one although I didn't try that one. I saw the apricot seeds and that stood out to me, I was drawn to them.
The first day I took only 9 seeds, about 3 every few hours or so. This immediately gave pain relief, much more than before. I continued this for a while and had the tumor shrink a great deal. Then I slacked up and it grew back some. Fortunately for whatever reason the cancer apparently can not become immune to these. This time I decided to hit the cancer harder. I took 10 seeds at a time every few hours. This had a dramatic effect on shrinking the tumor and I could finally blink without pain.
Sadly I am still not cured and this has all taken place over several months. I have also began taking spirulina and chlorella as well to remove metals and boost my immune system. Along with taking 10 seeds every few hours and going back to heavy raw vegetable eating I do hope to have this finally cured in a few more months.
The only alternative offered by modern medical science was chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery. Which would be extreme poison, burning, or cutting my body. Which kills anyone's immune system and often does worse damage than the cancer. Practices that have not truly evolved since the 1950's. What a joke. It's unreal that the FDA, AMA, ACA, and many of the heads of these big pharmaceutical companies are not in prison. Their survivor rates and cure rates are awful and cancer has only been increasing in the population for a long time now. How can they make billions every year off suffering and people dying? All the while they refuse to do studies on stuff like apricot seeds or other natural cures. It's like they have no humanity. They should be charged with treason against the country or humanity.
Overall my tumor has reduced 70% thus far. I now have zero pain. I no longer wake up in the middle of the night feeling it expand while turning my eye blood shot red and having endless tears pour out of my eye. I do really hate the taste, hate eating it every day but it removes my pain and continues to shrink the tumor so I eat them. it's a shame the FDA banned the extract of these called laetrile to protect big pharma profits. Because apricot seeds along with raw vegetables are pretty much the official cure without side effects as far as I and many others are concerned.
I know people from all over will tell you that these are poisonous... and they would be correct...However they are only poisonous to abnormal, and cancer cells.
I have used these for over 4 years now, and have not died or even got sick. I have also never gotten cancer.
Now you may say that since I didn't have cancer that these do not prove anything...you may be right, but it may have prevented anything from starting.
You will read from skeptics that the people who use this natural stuff are nuts. They call modern medicine "traditional", yet remedies that have been time tested for 1000's of years is quackery.
If you have cancer, or know someone who does, please look into it for yourself. Do not take my word, or anyone else's. It is your life, you are responsible to know the truth.
If I may suggest a starting point, read the book called
Cancer: Step outside the Box by Ty Bollenger. If you do nothing else but read that book, you will have a better understanding of the "other" side of medicine...you know, the "quacks".
I recommend these, but please please please read that book, as it may save a life. Most importantly, do your own homework, do not trust anyone, even your doctor as even they do not know everything, and in fact are human prone to error.
Apricots seeds did the trick in curing my wife's cancer!
The bitter raw apricot seeds has saved my wife from esophageal cancer; there is no doubt. I recommend them highly for anyone who wants to kill their cancer and for those who want to prevent cancer.
