Benjamin Pogrund reported extensively on Apartheid South Africa, for which he was put on trial and in prison. He is the author of the books "Sobukwe and Apartheid" and "How can man die better: the life of Robert Sobukwe".
This investigation demonstrated that organic extracts of apricot and peach kernels of Chinese and South African origin may significantly reduce cell viability, inhibit cell proliferation, induce morphological changes and affect cell cycle progression of the HT-29 human colon cancer cell line. These findings agree with reports showing growth inhibiting, anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects of amygdalin on promyelocytic leukaemia [25], colon cancer [26], cervical cancer [27], and bladder cancer cells [28]. As opposed to previous research where the isolated cyanogenic compound was used, in the present research the whole kernel was used. This may have contributed to the slight variation in the results. The rationale for using the whole kernel was based on the principle that the whole is better than the parts, whose constituents act synergistically as a whole. The method of preparation (in the form of an herbal medicine as administered by a Chinese medicine practitioner) and consumed as a food supplement were other factors considered. Since the Chinese apricot and peach kernels were bought from a Chinese medicine practitioner it was expected that there would be less fixed and volatile oils as a result of the preparation process of the kernels. The aim of the present study was to examine the influence of CAK/SAK as well as CPK/SPK on colon cancer cell proliferation to determine whether these compounds affects cell morphology and cellular kinetics, thus mechanisms influencing cell growth.
