Title: Intravenous Amygdalin
Post by: happyguy on January 06, 2019, 08:17:57 AM
Hello Everyone I am new here.

The extraction of Amygdalin appears to be extremely basic and easy however I am hoping someone better educated than I can help me to understand in what state Amygdalin is safe for Intravenous use.

Assuming I follow the following basic procedure would any further treatment need to be done in order for it to be safe for Intravenous use?


Procedure   (Using only Apricot-kernel)

Reflux extraction
Small pieces of Apricot-kernel and Prunus Tomentosa Thunb. (3 g of each) were reflux extracted by 100 mL water with 0.1% citric acid for 2.5 h in the condition of a 60°C water bath. The water extract was collected after filtration. The residue was dissolved in 100 mL water with 0.1% citric acid and the previously mentioned process was repeated. The two times water extract was then combined and diluted to 200 mL.

We should not discuss poisson stuff or medical use.

Holy cow is this ever a bad idea. It produces hydrogen cyanide in the body.
