Question for Tony or other expert..

June 16, 2008

A dear friend requested that I make a batch of concentrated tea for her

uncle who has received a terminal diagnosis, but I overslept while I

was reducing the liquid in the 2nd stage of cooking, and ended up with

a nearly black " sludge " in the bottom of the pan. I rehydrated it, and

it's a darker color than my other batches have been as well as lacking

some of the extreme " tannic " taste that I experience when I take it.

I've already strained, and preserved it with PGA, but I am not sure

that it's not heat damaged. Any advice? Most of the oleander here is

sprayed, so I have to make a rather long trip outside the city to get

pesticide free materials. At the same time, I want to be sure that

what I give her will work as well as possible.

Thanks in advance for your advice,

Stephen

My segestion is not to use it internally, but don't throw it out cook the liquid some more and use it externally, on moles- skin cancer- liver spots and othe skin blemishes, and make a fresh batch to drink.

I would not ingest the singed extract. You might consider using externally, but it is probably a throw-away substance.Dr. Goebel--- On Mon, 6/16/08, Maria Stathopoulos <mary1kon wrote:Maria Stathopoulos <mary1konRe: Question for Tony or other expert..oleander soup Date: Monday, June 16, 2008, 5:50 PM
