Ohio House approves Laetrile sale bill in relief effort
The Ohio House passed a bill to legalize over-the-counter Laetrile sales in Ohio and sent it to the state senate. Eleven states have legalized Laetrile, but FDA bans interstate sales due to lack of proven cancer treatment value. An amendment removed doctor prescription requirements and requires labeling warning that Amygdalin is not recommended by the Ohio State Medical Association and may be harmful.
