The original post here, somehow left off part of the link - maybe that

Oleander Found to Induce Autophagy Against Cancer Cells

by Tony Isaacs

September 19, 2007

 

Phoenix Biotech manager Dennis Knocke reported today that noted MD

Anderson researcher Doctor Robert Newman, the lead research scientist

in a number of important studies on oleander and oleander compounds,

has recently finished a new study due to be published soon in peer

reviewed journal which indicates that oleander induces and increases

autophagy, a natural body defensive mechanism against cancer which

encapsulates tumors and cancer cells.

 

The new study appears to provide an important new piece of evidence in

understanding why oleander has proven to be successful against many

forms of cancer. In previous studies on oleander, many of which were

also led by Dr. Newman, oleander extracts have been shown to 1)

inhibit angiogenesis, the process where cancer produces blood vessels

and spreads, 2) inhibit the NF-kB factor in cancer cells, which is the

process that cells use to protect themselves when they come under

attack, 3) induce apoptosis, or normal cell death, in cancer cells,

and 4) greatly stimulate immune activity.
