Information is Out of Date Now by PWL (Vancouver, WA USA)  1 Stars
October 22, 2007
Written quite a while ago, this was once quite cutting edge, but science has now left it behind. Many of the premises have been disproven, and the book has far too much chemistry for the average person to read. Read with caution if you read it at all, and then get a new, more current treatment of the subject. We know so much more now that we did 25 years ago.

A scientific look into laetrile... by David Bennett (Ohio, United States)  5 Stars
October 21, 2001
Harold Manner, PhD was a fairly orthodox biology professor at Loyola University in Chicago. He then decided to study the controversial chemical "laetrile," more properly called amygdalin. He admits in this book that his late 1970s studies would either elevate or damn the anti-cancer substance. His research was some of the most blatant pro-laetrile research ever conducted, which "dropped a bombshell" on medical orthodoxy. 'Death of Cancer' chronicles Dr. Manner's research on laetrile, enzymes, vitamin C, and vitamin A against cancer. This combination caused complete cancer regression in 90% of the breast cancer ridden rats tested. Each chapter gives a scientific look at each key component to his research. There is a whole chapter devoted to enzymes, to laetrile, etc. Since many writers about laetrile are journalists, laypeople, ultra-conservatives, or non-academics, I was often left wanting to know more. Dr. Manner answers many questions about the chemical make-up of amygdalin (and other cyanide producing sugars), how amygdalin differs from "laetrile," and various modes of action of vitamin A, etc. While the book might not *convince* a scientific skeptic, or even provide a 100% satisfying rationale behind amygdalin, it at least engages laetrile on an academic level.Unfortunately laetrile has never been officially shown to be as effective as Dr. Manner's early research promised. However, the official "test" of laetrile continued despite objections from Manner, and questions of patient selection and amygdalin purity were raised. Perhaps Dr. Manner should have been directly involved. Either way, this book reflects one side in the struggle to determine whether laetrile really controls and prevents cancer. Today, some of Dr. Manner's assumptions about digestive enzymes are being confirmed by new human and animal research (by Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez and Wobe Mugos enzyme makers). I highly suggest `Death of Cancer' for anyone wanting to study laetrile, its history, or its value. Come with an open, yet critical mind. While the book is long out of print, the original 1978 edition lacks an interview with Dr. Manner that the 1988 edition has. This 1988 interview, done shortly before Dr. Manner's death, is also helpful to understanding the laetrile issue.
