RAW yes and I flavor it as you making the attack and the magic causing the wounds to appear.
Remeber though if your throwing into melee you have a -4 on those attacks.
Amulet of Mighty Fists has a line that specifically says "Alternatively, this amulet can grant melee weapon special abilities, so long as they can be applied to unarmed attacks."
Emphasis mine. I think it's obvious that fists cannot be thrown, in the literal sense.
Edit: If you have monstrous regeneration (like a 3.x troll) you can always cut off your hand and throw it at someone.... But that's besides the point.
That line is talking about keen and such throwing has no limitation as to what it can be placed on in fact you can have throwi

+1. This explanation mirrors my view.
In counterpoint, i would point out that using the same power on a real weapon that meets the category also seems silly. Spiked gauntlet +1, Throwing?
So i punch, and my hand goes flying off? You have a fist, so it's not like the glove slips off and slips back on. For added humor make it a Locked Spiked Gauntlet. Does it work now? (YMMV but i say no to both.)
For those that do, my old school anime quote for you is... Boost Knuckle!
I am familiar with blood wind. It is a decent spell for specific build concepts but does not make your limbs detach to damage at range.
Saying that Throwing enchantment turns it into ki-blast effects adds something that normal weapons with throwing don't get. If i use my Greatsword +1 Throwing, i do not chop the air and retain hold of my weapon while a wave of energy arcs into the distant target so neither would/should the amulet.
That's about all i have to add to the points of consideration, thank you for reading!
So spitting is a go?
...i took this as 100% jest, to be honest.
Were you actually completely serious?
Because a person's spit does not do damage for one, at best you can try to be crafty with a dirty trick manuever.

If there are RAW reasons for yes, or no, please post.
Umm, several posts give why not. Nothing in Paizo products lets you detach your hand, foot or head and throw it, unless they implement the Fireys from Labyrinth.

Description
This amulet grants an enhancement bonus of +1 to +5 on attack and damage rolls with unarmed attacks and natural weapons.
Alternatively, this amulet can grant melee weapon special abilities, so long as they can be applied to unarmed attacks. See Table: Melee Weapon Special Abilities for a list of abilities. Special abilities count as additional bonuses for determining the market value of the item, but do not modify attack or damage bonuses. An amulet of mighty fists cannot have a modified bonus (enhancement bonus plus special ability bonus equivalents) higher than +5. An amulet of mighty fists does not need to have a +1 enhancement bonus to grant a melee weapon special ability.
Well, to be fair, that list does include the Throwing enchant. And it just says it CAN be thrown, not that it MUST be thrown to be used as a ranged weapon.
This statement i find rediculous to be honest. You are trying to rules lawyer something that just does not work that way. It's fine if you want to do it in your home games tho. The bottom line there is have fun!
Maybe it would resemble something like the ki blast?
ROCKET PUNCH.

I would say that the Throwing ability works as normal. Remember, any part of the body is considered being armed for an unarmed strike. You could "throw" body part, just remember that it's connected to the rest of your body.
I have a really funny image in my head of a monk ragdolling through the air to body slam his opponent now.
To be fair, I would TOTALLY allow this as a means of allowing a character to flurry from range, with the caveate that a missed attack has to account for landing in a space adjacent to the foe.
I was able to convince my DM that an Amulet of Throwing Flames is a Hadoken. It's pretty fun.
There is a third party that puts out rules for severing limbs, they even have a prc built around it (the name escapes me). I guess you buy the aomf (throwing) in the hope of getting severed. If you throw it within one round of it getting chopped off its body it still has the throwing property...hmm I wonder if you can combine it without returning.
You just chopped off my foot, that was a bad move watch this.
