Amygdalin (from the Greek word for ‘almond’) is a substance found in the seeds of many kinds of fruits, such as plums, cherries, oranges, nectarines, apples and peaches, as well as in raw nuts, including bitter almonds.
Amygdalin was first discovered and isolated by two French chemists in the early 1800s, because they saw potential for the substance’s role as a source of healing when combined with other nutrients.
People have used amygdalin as a medicine for almost two centuries, but it was in the 1970s that it really gained popularity and came into its own as a complementary treatment of choice for hundreds of thousands of people.

Taken by injection, amygdalin is non-toxic, however, when a source of beta-glucosidase is injected with amygdalin, the toxicity is greatly increased.
Orally administered, amygdalin is definitely toxic, presumably due to the presence of beta-glucosidase in the small intestine.

In the first of these studies, amygdalin enhanced the antitumor activity of a combination of enzymes and vitamin A in mice bearing spontaneous mammary adenocarcinomas.[50] The amygdalin was given by intramuscular injection, the vitamin A was administered orally through a feeding tube, and the enzymes were injected into and around tumor masses.
The third study investigated the ability of amygdalin and beta-glucosidase to indirectly sensitize the hypoxic (oxygen-starved) cells at the center of a tumor to the lethal effects of gamma irradiation.[36] Cells at the periphery (outer edge) of a tumor are more sensitive to gamma irradiation because they are not oxygen deprived.
Amygdalin, evaluated for potency and purity by the NCI,[60] was administered intravenously for 21 days, followed by oral maintenance therapy, utilizing doses and procedures similar to those evaluated in the phase I study.
