Furthermore, the harmlessness of pure amygdalin was affirmed in a ruling by the Hannover Higher Administrative Court.
Structure and mechanism of action of vitamin B17
If you consider the molecular structure of vitamin B17, you will find bonds with one molecule of hydrogen cyanide – also called prussic acid – and one benzaldehyde each, and two with glucose molecules.
This stable compound cannot be broken down except by the effect of the enzyme beta-glucosidase.
In healthy cells, this splitting enzyme is only found in practically negligible quantities.
In cancer cells, however, beta-glucosidase is very abundant.
Now if amygdalin comes into contact with this enzyme in the presence of water, it starts to release the cyanide and the benzaldehyde, both of which are capable of destroying cancer cells.
A protective enzyme called rhodenase – or also thiosulfate sulfur transferase – can prevent healthy cells from being poisoned at the same time by converting the cyanide into the a relatively non-poisonous rhodanide.
So cancer cells can be destroyed by the enzymatic splitting of vitamin B17 with natural support thanks to its synergistic effect.
In this context of a holistic cancer therapy, it is important to obtain the right combination of measures in order to improve chances of treatment success.
