@shali2524 imo i don't think it matters, i do the supplements because i don't like tea in any form or fashion and i do the b17 supplements because i struggle with eating the seeds or nuts (i have "floating dentures" and nuts of any kind are REALLY hard to eat).. hubby eats the seeds. i don't think it really matters which way you go, i think its more of a what works for you...if you can do the seeds and the tea go for it.. gotta be cheaper to do that than the supplements if i had to guess, the essiac supplements at our local store are about $44 bottle for like a 10 day supply if taken as directed...
