I've seen compelling research on the use of laetril, focused on the unique relationship between cyanide and specific vulnerabilities in cancer cells. Google is your friend.
Health science (aka medicine) is an area of knowledge where critical thinking is crucial - we need more than the facts.
I've tried apricot kernals (carefully) without ill effect (to the best of my knowledge). And maybe they work. And that's the rub - how to prove what works and what doesn't without having complete knowledge or control of the experiment.
Over the years, but largely due to the internet, mankind's collective conscious of health concerns has been drawn into a vortex of do-it-yourself-health techniques. Good golly. I have read about some genuinely bizzare practices (intraveneous hydrogen peroxide) and some reasomably rational (vitamins, micro-nutrients, whole foods). Some work, some don't, some will kill you.
Illness and suffering are always a priority, and imaginative solutions are limited only by what the health-mindshare-market will bear.
Best wishes,
Eric
