Why do people actually believe this stuff is an actual cure for cancer and blame some shadowy cabal of medical scientists of supressing it to make money from more and more research grants. Just google it and you will come across hordes of sites exploiting the desperate and agressively claiming it is a wonder drug instead of it containing cyanide.

Oh no, laetrile also known as Amygdalin works, and quite well. Indeed, it is effective in curing everything from cancers of any sort, to pneumonia, syphilis, paraplegia, bubonic fever, the vapors, and not to mention; senile dementia & delirium tremens. Small wonder then, that the medical cabal in the US & elsewhere are repressing it. It's purveyors, who, as there is so little money in it, are actually being as generous as the Good Samaritan.

The thing about it is, that you have to take enough of it for it to work effectively.

Why? Because they don't want to die. And because the shills and conmen are obviously trying to help them avoid death, so it must be the doctors who want them to be sick and die. (And of course, it helps that the conmen and shills tell the victims that, too.)
