Amygdalin is a compound found in seeds of all fruits except those of citrus fruits. It is found in high amounts in Apricot kernels and Almonds.  Anti-tumor properties of Amygdalin have been discussed and argued over and over through out the cancer research circles. A quick google search of 'Amygdalin' will tell you that it is a 'quack medicine', that it has no action on cancer cells and that it is dangerously poisonous substance. Laetrile is the name of semi-synthetic (drug- tablet and injection) form of amygdalin available in the market.  Let me present the readers with PubMed articles - published data in prestigious peer reviewed journals, regarding the anti-tumor properties of Amygdalin.

He persuaded US, Russia and Britain and the result of his efforts was the October 10 1963 Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.  But most people do not know that this great man had relentlessly fought with the Medical Establishment (Big Pharma, corporate media and corpora scientists)  for the medical benefits of Vitamin C. Let me quote you Dr. Klenner here, who by the way cured numerous diseases like Polio, Multiple Sclerosis, SLE, Hepatitis and other chronic "untreatable" diseases with the help of Vitamins and Supplements, most importantly Vitamin C- " Some Doctors would s...
