Another indication of why to not depend on Laetrile alone

Yes, it would be good if better information were more readily available.

One of the better articles I have found about Laetrile contains some key information I believe:

Much of the effort of metabolic therapy is dedicated toward sustaining adequate liver and kidney functions and to attempt to minimize the detoxification load placed upon them. It should be emphasized that amygdalin (Laetrile) therapy is most effective when used in conjunction with a comprehensive METABOLIC approach. Most physicians using this form of therapy provide adequate nutritional support with the use of proper vitamin and mineral supplements. The patient is placed on a complete vegetarian diet with a reduction of proteins, fats, refined sugars, and processed foods. All tobacco, alcohol, caffeinated drinks, and most toxic medications are eliminated. The patient is placed on a high intake of select fruit juices, fresh fruits and vegetables. A program of detoxification is required. A minimum of 9 gr of amygdalin (Laetrile) per day is administered, largely by the parenteral route, but even higher levels may be given if indicated. Patients that refuse to follow the general Metabolic Program are discouraged from taking amygdalin (Laetrile).

What that tells me is that laetrile is most effective when it is but a part of a comprehensive protocol and, to me at least, the above information indicates that is very possible that many patients who used such a protocol might have had success without laetrile as a part of the protocol.

Again, the bottom line is to not depend on laetrile as a standalone protocol.
