-SCN (Thiocyanate) (Sulphur Cyanide) - Terrestrials' Ticket out of the Brine?

Take two diazepam, disable your overwrought shift key, and call again tomorrow.

No medical recommendations...

No medical recommendations, that wasn't the question.

The Lactoperoxidase-Thiocyanate-Hydrogen Peroxide System in the mammalian mucus membranes exists as a firewall against the tissue invasion of bacteria, molds, allergens, viruses and environmental toxins. This has been known about for over a century.

Amygdalin, C20 H27 N O11, isn't Laetrile which is C14 H15 N O7 (a feeble try at producing a patentable alternative).

Laetrile is missing one of the sugar rings and when it was produced, they didn't understand that both rings were necessary for full metabolic assimilation of the by-products, Thiocyanate and Benzylaldehyde.

Laetrile isn't a cure for anything, maybe bad breath.

Thiocyanate is crucial for the Immune System to function at 100% efficiency, otherwise the White Blood Cells self-oxidize themselves when they create Hydrogen Peroxide and Chloride to oxidize the bacteria, molds, viruses (in the presence of Iodide) and normally occuring dead cell tissues.

-SCN is the one crucial antioxidant the mammalian Immune System and the mammalian Cellular Repair System need to funcion properly.

From Wiki:

<Start Wiki excerpt>

Amygdalin (from Ancient Greek: ἀμυγδαλή amygdálē "almond"), is a poisonous cyanogenic glycoside found in many plants, but most notably in the seeds (kernels) of apricot, peach, bitter almond, and plum.

Since the early 1950s, both amygdalin and a modified form named laetrile have been promoted as alternative cancer treatments, often using the misnomer Vitamin B₁₇ .^[1] But studies have found them to be clinically ineffective in the treatment of cancer, as well as potentially toxic or lethal when taken by mouth, due to cyanide poisoning. Neither amygdalin nor laetrile are vitamins.

The promotion of laetrile to treat cancer has been described in the medical literature as a canonical example of quackery,^[2][3] and as "the slickest, most sophisticated, and certainly the most remunerative cancer quack promotion in medical history."^[1]

What caused the "(I almost got banned from Wiki)" incident?

<mikerho scoffs>

Ahhh...the Wiki of Discontent! If you look at the editing on the amygdalin wiki you'll see a constant, daily hacking of the page. Why both Amygdalin and Laetrile are on the same page I don't understand unless someone is trying to confuse people...

The ban almost occurred when a young Arab (judging by his monikor) suggested eating apple seeds was analogous to poisonining yourself and I simply responded that dates have many times more Amygdalin in them than apple seeds because they are preserved by drying (in contrast to toasting and roasting it out of nuts).

I love dates! One of my fav Holiday treats.

Amygdalin breaks down at 210F so most processed foods have it 'processed' out of them.

In a double blind study to determine if Congenital Lyme Disease is curable by the Wiegman Pulsed Protocol a surprise discovery is unfolding at Day 16 into the trial. Because nearly all of the 286 participants around the world, in 16 different countries were sourcing their own food supplements in the two week long pre-antibiotic Immune System build-up, the many Autistic Children(over 50#) in the study who had a severe reaction to their 2nd year vaccinations STARTED TALKING AGAIN!

This is happening before the 60 day pulsed antibiotic Mino/Tindy (one dose of each, every other day, amount based on weight) portion of the trial to eliminate Borrelia has even begun!

It turns out that they were non-verbal because of inflammation of the Superior Cervical Ganglion and that a diet rich in HMDB35030, sourced from non-GM and non-GMO foods rich in HMDB35030, corrected the near total Thiocyanate Deficiency, re-activating the Neutrophils so they are able to process antigen/antibody factors and eliminate the inflammation so that signals can now pass to the vocalization muscles and facial muscles too.

The children not only have their personalities intact, they are opinionated and are showing very high levels of energy as well.

More to come as trial proceeds...
