Method Cherry pits???

[Dandelion's]

I just thought about it most people don't consider it since you'd need an unreal amount for it to be reliable but at least in my country cherry seed pillows exist couldn't you just cut a few of those open?

Interesting! Never heard of those, now looking at them online. It would still be an experiment though, and a viable method would be preferable.

how many cherry pits do you think will do the job?

I am not sure how many you'd need, people have died from 60 cherry pits before (most of them elderly) but unfortunately there isn't much research about it since not many people have died this way. But I think a few hundreds should do it that's why I am obtaining them from a cherry seed pillow and not from cherries themselves.

That may not work. you should investigate if they have been cooked before being put in the pillow.

50mg / 0,016% = 312,5g ≈ 313 black cherry pits
50mg / 0,024% = 208,3g ≈ 209 red cherrypits

Pretty hard to find out I'll try to attempt this way and if it doesn't work I'll make a post

Hm, I'd think they better ought to be fresh, but I can see the problem of obtaining them in such a large number. In any case you'll need to grind them down somehow.

They don't directly contain C though.. They contain a substance that the body metabolizes to C

Plant deaths have been asked about several times on this forum, and the answer is always the same. You never know how much toxin is in each pit, seed, leaf, branch, root, whatever you are using. Also refining that toxin to a useful form can be quite challenging. This method is not discussed here very much because it is generally just a crapshoot.

The problem is, additionally to what Forveleth replied, that your body's metabolism is the bottleneck and it's also very different from person to person.. This is not a method

This thread reminded me of a case report written on a man who saved 700 apple seeds in a jar then ingested them. His father finds him with foam on his mouth and takes him to the hospital. He survives. Maybe it would work if he was alone, maybe it wouldn't. I agree with Fadenself00 here, it is not the most reliable method, be it apple seeds or cherry pits. Each pit/seed can contain different amounts of amygdalin, if you go for overkill and ingest hundreds of them, you risk throwing out most of them.

Definitely update if you can. I'm very curious about this now
