It was the inner seed of the peach pit, ground, that dressed itself as a 
cancer cure for Lukeimia (sp?) several years ago. It wasn't allowed in the 
USA, but Mexico was doing intravenous "washes" of it in patients who were not 
responding well to chemo. The problem was, that with the lowered immune 
system, many were poisoned by the treatment and couldn't continue with chemo. 
Some died as a result. I can't remember the name of the treatment...it is the 
technical name for the peach pit itself...off the top of my head. But I lost 
a friend who had cancer because of it. Swore that the treatment was making 
him feel better. Then got sick, was hospitalized at UA Hospital here, and 
they realized he was on Chemo treatment and hadn't been in for a while. They 
gave him Chemo, he had a *massive* allergic reaction to the combo in his 
system, and passed away. Shortly thereafter the UA Hospital issued a warning 
not to have any chemo if you had this treatment within the last 8 weeks.

 (bitter almonds) of the peach pits are poison, but I
 also know there are liquers and flavorings that are
 bitter almond based.
