a bit of long winded here but possibly vital info.
In January '08 I was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer which if you know much about it right serious. things looked grim for me. I went for the 48 radiation treatments and took a small greenish pill 2x day. a friends wife is Columbian and talked with me about a naturopath she knew also from Columbia. talked with the lady she sent me a zip bag of apricot pits which contain the poison cyanide. they taste slightly sweetish and almond. to be effective I had to eat enough of them slowly 2x day to get slightly nauseous which was around 8-10 of them. all I know is that I went through all treatment and was free of cancer 2 months later, still am.
I had a bunch of those left over, maybe 2 cups which I placed back and forgot about for years. I came across them digging through my cabinet and tossed out back about 1/2 of them. out back my place is overrun which small and sometime large (bear) critters. the next morning I looked out and the largest she-coon I've ever seen was laying there dead. she had eaten most of the pits, had puked (could see the ground pits in it) and crapped out a lot. got a right nice hide but didn't care to risk the meat (coon is fine eating IMO, caught around farm patches the best). I've learned that peach pits also contain cyanide so be careful with these around critters.
