Hi Jay;

Unfortunately there is no scientific analysis to back up your claims - in
fact a lot of evidence to suggest that Laetrile has no effect on existing
cancer;

Additionally, people must be careful ingesting it as it could have a toxic
effect on the body:

"Taken by injection, amygdalin is non-toxic, however, when a source of
beta-glucosidase is injected with amygdalin, the toxicity is greatly
increased. Orally administered, amygdalin is definitely toxic, presumably
due to the presence of beta-glucosidase in the small intestine. (Greenberg)"
