The given idea behind B17 (which some have claimed can prevent you getting cancer and can cure cancer) is that the compound containing cyanide is broken down by an enzyme that is unusualy abundant in cancer cells but not in normal cells (so only cancer cells get poisoned by the cyanide). There is NO scientific backing for this.
I know chemo is not very selective about what it kills, but at least it's known (in practice and theory) to work... although with a pretty big loss of over-all health.
