Kansan testifies in favor of illegal drug laetrile
Glen Rutherford of Conway Springs testifies at federal hearings on laetrile aiming to overturn the FDA ban. He holds a 1975 court order to import the drug and cites cases like Bill Sharbone of Newton who smuggles it from Mexico. Medical groups oppose the drug citing safety and efficacy concerns. Laetrile is amygdalin found in fruit pits, supported as vitamin B-17 by some, legal in 26 countries, and under review in several states.
