Amygdalin, or B17, is a nitroloside that consists of two glucose molecules, one bound cyanide, and one bound denzaldyhide.
Bound cyanide is not the same as free cyanide because it is bound to other molecules within the food and will not cause cyanide poisoning. Free cyanide which you can find in cigarette smoke, hydrogen cyanide gas, water and more is what causes poisoning.
Vitamin B17 in apricot kernels works by providing an instant burst of oxygen to the oxygen deficient parts of the body. Our cells need to go through this process in order for detoxification to take place. This detox process leads to the elimination of cancerous cells.
