Symptoms include nausea, fever, headaches, insomnia, increased thirst, lethargy, nervousness, various aches and pains in joints and muscles, and a drop in blood pressure. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] [ 11 ] In 2016, the European Food Safety Authority reported that eating three small bitter apricot kernels or half of a large bitter kernel would exceed safe ...
Eating amygdalin will cause it to release cyanide in the human body, and may lead to cyanide poisoning. [ 1 ] Since the early 1950s, both amygdalin and a chemical derivative named laetrile have been promoted as alternative cancer treatments , often under the misnomer vitamin B 17 (neither amygdalin nor laetrile is a vitamin ).

[1] [2] Symptoms are typically vague and non-specific. They may include fatigue, headaches, nausea, respiratory problems, seizures, confusion, lethargy, pain, and dizziness. Recent imaging studies have shown that it is likely a neurological condition. [3] MCS is a chronic disease that requires ongoing management. In the long term, about half of ...
Cyanide poisoning is poisoning that results from exposure to any of a number of forms of cyanide. [4] Early symptoms include headache, dizziness, fast heart rate, shortness of breath, and vomiting. [2] This phase may then be followed by seizures, slow heart rate, low blood pressure, loss of consciousness, and cardiac arrest. [2]
"Pain ladder", or analgesic ladder, was created by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a guideline for the use of drugs in the management of pain. Originally published in 1986 for the management of cancer pain , it is now widely used by medical professionals for the management of all types of pain .
Another problem with pain management is that pain is the body's natural way of communicating a problem. [6] Pain is supposed to resolve as the body heals itself with time and pain management. [6] Sometimes pain management covers a problem, and the patient might be less aware that they need treatment for a deeper problem. [6]
In addition, there were many clinical cases of amygdalin poisoning, but few systematic clinical studies. Once had the researcher to carry on a series of studies on the antitumor activity of amygdalin, and 36 different studies involving amygdalin administration were also analyzed (Milazzo et al., 2011).
Amygdalin when ingested has been shown to cause poisoning; that it is a metabolite of amygdalin (rather than amygdalin itself) that causes the poisoning seems to be splitting hairs here. Indeed, one of the several proposed mechanism for action amongst supporters of its use is that it causes poisoning of cancer cells.
