“Though a documentary, it’s dramatic enough to be
be reminiscent of ‘The Insider,’ the whistleblowing
thriller about Big Tobacco.”

Dr. Crout and Or. Thomas opened the meeting with introductions. led
Dr. Good (Sloan Kettering) reviewed the scientific question of
interest to Sloan Kettening. He emphasized:
It is hard to identify Laetrile as a compound; one ‘can
only work with amygdalin.
b. There is inmense enotion assoicated with this drug.
Studies of amygdalin are a small. part of Sloan Kettering
program.
Dr. Old enphasized that Leetrile is emygdalin not the glucuronid of
mandelonitrite. There is a theoretical rationale for enyadalini
selective release of CN (cyanide) intracellularly. Amygdalin is one
of a series of cyanogenic glycosides. (They would like to study
other menters of this group not just a in. Sloan Kettering
would Ti! to test these drugs in spontansous tumors not just
experimentally derived tumors, 8-giucasicases are found in mi
tissues. Cancer cells are said to have high clucosidase levels.
Normal cells are said to have low glucosidase levels.
The rat kidney has a high level of 8-glucosidase but does not break
down amygdalin to release cyanide.
The oral route of administration of amygdalin(a) is much more toxic
than the parenteral because the intestinal bacteria break down
amygdalin to release cyanide(CX). This is shown by use of en-
vironmentally protected raised animals who do not haroor bacteria in
the intestine. The oral route in these animals is no more toxic than
the parenteral. )*
,
Dr. Old presented some possible research approaches to study the con-
cept that a CN donor might be en anti-tumor egent.
Dr. Old has written to several world users of Leetrile, including
Drs. Contreras and Niepes and others. He found two groups (1) Those
who used it end found it of value (i.e. Contreras) and (2) Those who
had not used it and did not believe in it. ‘ "
