Amygdalin is a poisonous element which is found in almost many plant plants. It is a composition of cyanogenic glycoside. It is mainly found in the seeds or the kernels of bitter alomonds, apricots, apple, peach and plum. It has been right from the early stage of 1950s that both amygdalin and its modified form known as the  laetrile  have been promoted as the alternative cancer treatments. It is often used by the misnomer Vitamin B. On the other hand the researchers have found them to be clinically ineffective for the treatment of cancer along with a potential toxic or lethal element when it is taken by mouth mainly due to the reason of cyanide poisoning.

All other countries still use Laetrile for the treatment of cancer, though. As said before, amygdalin can be traced back to the pits of various raw nuts and fruits. It is also found in sorghum and clover plants. Hydrogen cyanide, the main component responsible for treating the cancer cells, is formed when laetrile is br
