Following is the story of Bill Sykes written by himself.

In the fall and winter of 1975 to 76 I noticed a fullness and pressure on my left side. When the pressure increased, I went to a doctor for a check up. After examination he sent me to Ann Arbor for future tests. Extensive tests revealed lymphocytic leukemia and enlarged spleen. On March 24, 1976, the cancerous spleen, measuring 19x15x8 cm and weighing 1810 gms was removed. Cancer was found throughout my body.

A few days later the doctor called my wife to the office and told her that I had stage IV cancer. The had removed what they could, but, since the liver was honeycombed with cancer, there was little chance of my living more than a few months at best. The doctor suggested that with chemotherapy my life might be extended a few extra months.

Stunned, my wife drove home that night. I had always been healthy, and now the doctor had said, "only a few months left". After years of cancer research, was chemotherapy the best that could be offered? The doctor hadn't given any reassurance with that. There had to be something better! Next morning, after praying for guidance, she learned about laetrile (also referred to as amygdalin or vitamin B17) and found a doctor who administer it, but was told that he wouldn’t be able to see me for three weeks. In desperation she said, "My husband can’t wait that long". She was told to bring me in as soon as I could travel and the doctor would somehow fit me into his busy schedule.

When we saw the doctor a week later, he explained how and why laetrile was helping many cancer patients, and suggested that I have intravenous shots of 30 cc laetriel daily for the next three weeks. He also gave me enzymes and a diet to follow along with food supplements. In a few days I was feeling better, but, on our third visit the doctor said that he could no longer treat me. He had been told that his license would be revoked if he continued to use laetrile. He showed my wife how to administer the laetrile, sold us what he had, and gave us an address where more could be obtained.

The next week I continued on the program and was feeling better each day. One afternoon the doctor from Ann Arbor called to ask why I had not returned for the chemotherapy. He said I was playing "Russian Roulette" with my life. He finally persuaded me to return for chemotherapy, so I went to Ann Arbor and started the treatments. Each day I felt worse. My eyes burned, my stomach felt like it was on fire. In just a few days I was so weak I could hardly get out of bed. The chemotherapy was killing more good cells than bad. The "cure" was killing me faster than the disease! I couldn’t take it any longer, so I stopped the chemotherapy, returned to my supply of laetrile and food supplements, and quickly started felling better. It took longer this time as I was fighting the effects of the chemotherapy as well as the cancer. After that I faithfully stayed on the pancreatic enzymes and natural food supplements. Three months later I was feeling well enough to join in a game of racquet ball. I was given a diet that I still follow quite carefully. I emphasizes fresh fruits and vegetables, food rich in nitrilosides, and forbids foods made with bleached flour or refined sugar.

We also purchased a juicer and I drank one or two glasses of fresh carrot juice each day. I also made what we called a "green drink". We went out in fields that had not been sprayed and picked dandelion leaves, plantain, shave grass and other herbs. We washed them, put water in the blender and add the herbs. I ate raw sunflower, pumpkin, and sesame seeds.

Enteric coated pancreatic enzymes played a major role as they help dissolve cancer cells and tumors if taken on an empty stomach. I took them late at night, in the night when I woke up, and first thing in the morning. I am not offering medical advice, but I drink 2 quarts of pure water each day and I use the following:

Besides my daily program I clean my body every six months herb combinations. It took a lot of hard work and persistent effort to undo the harm cancer had done to my body, but the Lord blessed our efforts. On has to be diligent in living a healthful lifestyle.
