cyanin hormesis

“The appearance of senolytics was foreseen in the 19th century in studies of the effect of highly dilute solutions of hydrogen cyanide, called prussic acid, on cell survival. It was found that unlike young cells, old and cancerous cells quickly die from such exposure.[3] These data were used to scientifically explain a paradox known since ancient times as mithridatism and later called hormesis: taking very small doses of a non-cumulative poison sometimes leads to better health.[4] Obviously, toxins such as hydrogen cyanide, by means of mitohormesis (due to mitophagy), remove old cells with defective mitochondria unable to withstand temporary hypoxia.[5]”

amygdalin was patented as putative anti cancer drug named laetrile in 1961
