The National Cancer Institute reports that Laetrile\/amygdalin has not demonstrated effectiveness against cancer in human clinical trials and can cause cyanide poisoning. It is not approved as a cancer treatment in the United States. This book should be read as a work presenting the author's views, not as medical advice or a substitute for evidence-based cancer care.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKey Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExplores the history and controversy surrounding Laetrile and amygdalin\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePresents G.
