Guest guest Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Oleander has proven to be one of the most potent cancer fighters and immune boosters known to man. It is effective for a broad range of conditions and just about every kind of cancers. With some cancers, such as pancreatic and melanoma, it is one of the very few things that work with a high degree of success. In 1987-88 studies conducted in Europe, oleander was found to have fully six times the immune stimulating activity of the most powerful immune stimulators known to man - and I have no doubt that it's ability to boost the immune system is plays a very large role in it's success. However, it does far more than just boost the immune system and let the body attack cancer with its natural first line of defense. Oleander also attacks cancer itself, inducing cell death via apoptosis and autophagy and preventing cancer cells from multiplying. Despite numerous studies, scientists still have not figured out exactly how oleander works, other than it appears obvious that it is a combination of the many different compounds found in the oleander plant. These compounds include the major active cardiac glycoside Oleandrin, a number of other cardiac glycosides such as Oleandrinogen, Oleandrigenin and others, several long-chain polysacharrides such as Beta-sistosterol, Quercitin, Linoleic-acid, Oleic-acid, Adynerin, Alpha-amyrin, Betulin, Foliandrin, Folinerin, Gitoxigenin, Isoquercitrin, Lauric-acid, Neriin, Oleandrin, Oleandrigenin, Oleanolic-acid, Rutin, Stigmasterol, Ursolic-acid, Uzarigenin. No one knows how they work together, but those familiar with cancer and cancer research will recognize that most of these substances are stated in the literature to have antitumor and/or immune stimulant and/or antiviral and/or antibacterial or other beneficiary activities. I imagine that few, if any, plants in the world contain such a potent mix of immune boosters and cancer fighters - and in my mind there is no doubt that is why few, if any, plants in the world can compete with the success of oleander.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Tony,My wife has metastatic breast cancer. Two years ago she had a mastectomy with a TRAM reconstruction, but has never had chemotherapy or radiation. She received her current diagnosis in late December. In the last eight weeks we have been on a program of LDN, Cantron, Paw Paw and pulsed doses of artemisinin at night (4 days on and three days off). We have been observing the contraindications regarding nutrients that might work counter to the ATP inhibition of the Cantron and Paw Paw. In the last few weeks tumor markers in the blood have decreased 35 points (from 197), and the tumors sites ache within 10 minutes of taking Cantron. In your opinion, can Sutherlandia OPC (we have it) be combined with what we are doing? From what I have read concerning the hypothetical mechanisms of SOPC, it does not look like something that would have an effect of stimulating electron transport, and that it might, therefore be compatible with what we are already doing. I hope this is so.Your thoughts?Thank you!Mike Golden, D.C.Tony oleander soup Sent: Sunday, April 6, 2008 1:56:56 PM The amazing number of cancer fighting and immune boosting compounds in oleander Despite numerous studies, scientists still have not figured out exactly how oleander works, other than it appears obvious that it is a combination of the many different compounds found in the oleander plant.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 I leave that question up to Tony.If you do not have a Kangen water maker, find a friend or associate who does. This will alkalinize the body over time just from drinking copious amounts of water.Where do you live?Michael L Goebel, DC, ACNMike Golden <goldenmike86 wrote: Tony,My wife has metastatic breast cancer.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Hi Mike Since your wife is on other natural products you may want to take a look at: http://www.mdanderson.org/departments/cimer/display.cfm?id=737870D0-880E-4833-A3D564663545988F & method=displayFull This is MD Anderson’s complimentary/alternative medicine page about oleander. Anyone that is using oleander needs to at least be aware of the following. Because I respect the power of herbs, I understand the importance of knowing even the “possibilities” of any interactions. I would imagine that they are erring on the side of extreme caution but again, it’s always better to educate before medicating – even if it is natural medicine. Everyone is different in their lifestyles and biochemistry so while one may react, someone else may not. Interactions with Herbs and Dietary Supplements Common oleander and yellow oleander contain cardiac glycoside heart-active substances. Herbs or supplements that may cause increased heart effects/damage if taken with oleander include: adonis, balloon cotton, black hellebore root/melampode, black Indian hemp, bushman’s poison, cactus grandifloris, convallaria, eyebright, figwort, foxglove/digitalis, frangipani, hedge mustard, hemp root/Canadian hemp root, king’s crown, lily-of-the-valley, motherwort, pheasant’s eye plant, plantain leaf, pleurisy root, psyllium husks, redheaded cotton-bush, rhubarb root, rubber vine, sea-mango, senna fruit, squill, strophanthus, uzara, wallflower, wintersweet and yellow dock root. Notably, bufalin/Chan Suis is a Chinese herbal formula that has been reported as toxic or fatal when taken with cardiac glycosides. Toxic effects of oleander on the heart may be increased if used with calcium supplements or herbs that lower potassium levels, such as licorice. Potassium levels theoretically may be reduced by herbs and supplements with laxative properties such as senna or psyllium, or herbs and supplements with diuretic properties (increasing urine flow) such as artichoke, celery, corn silk, couchgrass, dandelion, elder flower, horsetail, juniper berry, kava, shepherd's purse, uva ursi, yarrow. Laxative herbs include alder buckthorn, aloe dried leaf sap, black root, blue flag rhizome, butternut bark, dong quai, European buckthorn, eyebright, cascara bark, castor oil, chasteberry, colocynth fruit pulp, dandelion, gamboges bark, horsetail, jalap root, manna bark, plantain leaf, podophyllum root, psyllium, rhubarb, senna, wild cucumber fruit and yellow dock root. Be Well~ Loretta Tony's note: This is really good information to have, and I agree that it they are likely erring on the side of extreme caution - especially since there are virtually no records to be found anywhere of death or serious injury as a result of taking the oleander medications, supplements and remedies that have been discussed in this forum - and I would also point out that an ethanol extraction of oleander is used for heart conditions in Russia, as well as for vertigo. Nevertheless, it would be a good idea to not mix oleander with supplements containing any of the listed herbs. Thanks for the information. - oleander soup oleander soup On Behalf Of Mike Golden Friday, April 25, 2008 3:36 PM oleander soup Re: The amazing number of cancer fighting and immune boosting compounds in oleander Tony, My wife has metastatic breast cancer.
