John A. Richardson, Jr.'s journey with apricot seeds began in his childhood, where they were a staple in his daily diet. As he transitioned into adulthood, he developed a profound dedication to spreading awareness about the potent health benefits of Vitamin B17, a key component found in these seeds.

His network of close friends was significantly influenced by his connection with G. Edward Griffin, a lifelong friend of his father, Dr. John A. Richardson, MD. Dr. Richardson, a visionary in the realm of nutritional health and alternative treatments, ventured into politics by running for congress in the San Francisco Bay Area during the 1960s. His platform emphasized the values of God, Family, and Country. Despite his pioneering efforts in healthcare, Dr. Richardson faced adversity, losing his medical license, freedom, and eventually, his life.

Driven by a desire to carry forward the legacies of both his father and G. Edward Griffin, John is the President of Richardson Nutritional Center. RNC promotes wellness and healthy living through the use of safe and effective dietary supplements that support the body's natural healing processes, including products that contain premium Vitamin B17. RNC is also committed to providing families with real nutritional choices that contain life-giving vitamins, minerals, and maximum nutrients.

John enjoys working alongside his wife, Kristina Richardson, who is the Chief Operating Officer of RNC and mother to their 11 children. Several of the Richardson children are already carrying forward their grandfather's legacy, either working in the family business or pursuing education in naturopathic or nutritional health.

John is also the Chief Visionary Officer of Operation World Without Cancer, a humanitarian global marketing effort to create widespread understanding of all natural, organic, metabolic, God-given solutions to cancer, with the ultimate goal of making cancer as rare as scurvy in our lifetime. This position allows him to continue the crucial work initiated by his father in promoting alternative health solutions and educating the public about the potential benefits of Vitamin B17. John's vision extends beyond personal well-being, aiming to contribute to a world where cancer is better understood and, ultimately, eradicated. 2024 is the 50th anniversary of the original publication of the book, World Without Cancer: The Story of Vitamin B17, which explains the science behind B17, discusses the evidence that cancer is a deficiency disease, and uncovers the war that has been waged to hide the profound benefits of Vitamin B17 from the public.
