Guest guest Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 I have written previously about my problem with diarrhea when I take the OPC. I started out w/ the liquid and even 1/2 tsp caused it. Then I tried the caps and even one a day caused it. I tried taking it every other day and went days w/o taking it, experimented with it, and then the day I took it, the diarrhea returned. (BAD!!) I endured it for weeks and lost weight bc everything went straight through me (didn't need or want to lose weight). As soon as I stopped taking it, the diarrhea stopped and now things are back to normal. I guess this is just a comment rather than a question bc I honestly don't know what else to do. Maybe I'm allergic to the cancer bush, bc I know I'm not allergic to oleander. I'm very disappointed and I guess this is it for me as far as the oleander goes. My husband doesn't have this problem. Maybe some of us just can't take it. Thanks for all the previous suggestions. Marcia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Marcia - I am sorry to hear that - hopefully you can make your own oleander extract and use it instead. Personally, I feel that just about all of the success of Sutherlandia OPC when it comes to cancer is from the oleander - just as I believe was true when the OPC was formulated with 3 rain forest botanicals before the switch to S. Frutescens. Under either formulation, the 80% oleander extract has been the big gun and the rest bonuses. I suppose it is possible that you could be allergic to S. Frutescens, though I can find no literature readily available about allergies to it. I do note that one of the common side effects is diarrhea. Ironically, another is constipation. oleander soup , " sunlovernv " <Marcia_Grogan wrote: > > I have written previously about my problem with diarrhea when I take > the OPC.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Tony: Thanks for the response regarding my intestinal problem w/ taking the oleander. I have been reading other posts on this forum as well as curezone and I just had a thought: (I really hate to even ask you this)but.... I know there's nothing as effectove as the oleander but since I cannot tolerate even a tiny bit of it, what would be the next best thing as far as immune building/cancer killing/etc? Is there anything at all that comes to your mind that I could substitute for the oleander? I'm doing all the rest of your protocol but now I'm w/o the most impt part! It won't be the same, but if there is something else that even remotely comes close to the effectiveness of the oleander, I could add that to the rest of the protocol. A wild shot I'm sure, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Marcia, Until Tony gets back, let me reply. First of all, it is wonderful that you are also following his protocol. You have a wonderful arsenal behind you. As per his message, is it possible for you to make the soup and just try the oleander alone without the Sutherlandia Frutescens? At least to try this before you totally discount it. Who knows? That might be the answer And then, if that doesn't work, we can cross that bridge.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 : Even though I have a bunch of oleander plants growing in my yard, it kind of freaks me out to make my own. I have read all the posts about those brewing their own and honestly i'm afraid that i might poison myself or something!! I know that sounds ridiculous for most of the people in the group, but... I do think it's a good suggestion to try it alone before I give up on it --and the only way to do it is to make my own, so maybe i'll get up enough nerve and just do it.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Marcia, I understand your concern. Remember, oleander loses its toxicity when it is made into a soup or extract. You will not kill yourself. And being that they are growing in your yard I can assume that they are not being sprayed by commercial pesticides? This is the first and most important consideration. If they are being sprayed then, no it is out of the question. But if they are not, and are growing naturally.... full steam ahead. However..... easy does it. Take it slow. Follow the exact directions and wear the appropriate gloves while getting the clippings. Ask any questions you need to and we are here to guide you through it. It really sounds harder than it is. Once you get it down it is a piece of cake.
