I have no opinion and should not have one as I am not a doctor but I did a quick search on Pubmed, and what I read seems to tell that the story might be more complex that the article suggests. Some Pubmed articles titles:
- Amygdalin-mediated inhibition of non-small cell lung cancer cell invasion in vitro
Liyu Qian, Bo Xie, Yaguo Wang, Jun Qian
(contains this sentence "These results strongly suggested that amygdalin was likely to have anti-metastatic NSCLC effect")
- Amygdalin Influences Bladder Cancer Cell Adhesion and Invasion In Vitro
Jasmina Makarević, Jochen Rutz, Eva Juengel, Silke Kaulfuss, Igor Tsaur, Karen Nelson, Jesco Pfitzenmaier, Axel Haferkamp, and Roman A. Blaheta
(contains "Since the different actions of amygdalin on the different cell lines was mirrored by β1 or β4 knock down, it is postulated that amygdalin influences adhesion and migratory properties of bladder cancer cells by modulating β1 or β4 integrin expression."
- Amygdalin Blocks Bladder Cancer Cell Growth In Vitro by Diminishing Cyclin A and cdk2
Jasmina Makarević, Jochen Rutz, Eva Juengel, Silke Kaulfuss, Michael Reiter, Igor Tsaur, Georg Bartsch, Axel Haferkamp, Roman A. Blaheta
- Amygdalin inhibits genes related to cell cycle in SNU-C4 human colon cancer cells
Hae-Jeong Park, Seo-Hyun Yoon, Long-Shan Han, Long-Tai Zheng, Kyung-Hee Jung, Yoon-Kyung Uhm, Je-Hyun Lee, Ji-Seon Jeong, Woo-Sang Joo, Sung-Vin Yim, Joo-Ho Chung, Seon-Pyo Hong

When "real" cancer cures do poison you why the "faux" concern?
The story will be much more complex than this, including that for some people the process works. In like manner to chemo-therapy works in some and does nothing for others.
