Amygdalin is a naturally occurring cyanogenic glycoside derived from nuts, plants, and the pits of certain fruits, primarily apricots. Bitter almonds containing amygdalin are used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to remove “blood stasis” and to treat abscesses. Amygdalin was first used to treat cancer more than a century ago in Russia and later in the United States. A purified form sold as Laetrile has been a popular alternative cancer therapy since the 1960s. Some claimed amygdalin to be a vitamin (B17) and that deficiencies could cause cancer, but this is not substantiated by scientific evidence. Amygdalin is banned in the United States, but it is available in other countries and online.

Amygdalin is metabolized by the enzyme beta-glucosidase into benzaldehyde, glucose and cyanide in the intestine. Cyanide is believed to be cytotoxic with actions selective against cancerous cells, but results from animal studies were mostly negative . Other preclinical data suggest that amygdalin has hepatoprotective effects; may help relieve pain due to anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties; and exerts protective effects in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Amygdalin also inhibited tumor growth, but further studies are needed to confirm this finding.

A clinical trial in the late 1970s supported by the National Cancer Institute did not find amygdalin beneficial, and some patients in the study developed cyanide toxicity. A systematic review also concluded that amygdalin is ineffective against cancer.

With the recent discovery of anticancer properties of amygdalin through previously unknown mechanisms, there is renewed interest in whether this agent may have potential as an anticancer treatment. However, amygdalin is not approved for use in the United States.

Laetrile is a compound that has been used as a treatment for people with cancer. Laetrile is another name for amygdalin. Amygdalin is a bitter substance found in fruit pits, such as apricots, raw nuts, lima beans, clover, and sorghum. It makes hydrogen cyanide which is changed into cyanide when taken into the body. Hydrogen cyanide is thought to kill cancer cells. Laetrile is also called Vitamin B-17, although it has not been approved as a vitamin by the American Institute of Nutrition Vitamins.

The good news.

Benzaldehyde, which is made when laetrile is broken down by the body, has been tested for anticancer activity in people. In two clinical series, patients with advanced cancer who had not responded to standard therapy were treated with benzaldehyde. Some patients had a complete response, while some had a decrease in tumor size. The response to benzaldehyde only lasted during treatment.

Hypotheses.

I believe under right conditions that laetrile can be broken down synthetically and as a result the Benzaldehyde can be successfully produced and savely isolated. And voilà you have a cure for cancer an anti cancer substance!

So how do we create stomach acid synthetically to produce the right parameters and conditions as mentioned above ?

Acc to google search: Gastric juice is a variable mixture of water, hydrochloric acid, electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphate, sulfate, and bicarbonate), and organic substances (mucus, pepsins, and protein). This juice is highly acidic because of its hydrochloric acid content, and it is rich in enzymes.

So then recreate the condition and separate the results, the pre end result is neutralized with alkaline since it’s base is an acid product. The remainder is isolated.
