The American Cancer Society and Oleander

[Guest guest]

Hi there and welcome to the group.

 

I can understand your concerns, after all oleander is highly toxic in

raw form. However, the last place anyone interested in alternative

supplements and/or treatments should seek information is the American

Cancer Society, which has the dubious distinction of being the world's

wealthiest non-profit organization:

 

(http://www.preventcancer.com/losing/acs/wealthiest_links.htm

 

Their board of directors is loaded with mainstream industry

representatives and the ACS's very existence and all the exorbitant

salaries and perks for it's executives, like the $400 billion dollar a

year cancer industry and it's continued existence and profits, depends

on NOT finding a cure for cancer.

 

Seeking information from the ACS about natural and alternative

treatments is akin to a vegetarian asking a butcher for diet

recommendations.

 

The entry for oleander is patently false - something I have pointed

out to the ACS many times. They finally did concede and include some

of the medicinal history and information which I provided to them,

along with substantiation, but at the same time they later came back

with even stronger warnings and one piece of pure gibberish that is

obviously planted - the bogus allegation about Anvirzel deaths.

 

There is no record anywhere of Anvirzel deaths, and to post hearsay

that " the FDA has reports of two Anvirzel deaths " is itself an

indication that the information was fabricated. Trust me, if

mainstream medicine had any evidence of deaths or serious harm you can

bet they would cite the exact instances and not rely on gossip!

 

Oleander has been the main subject of my research and I have written a

book and numerous articles about it. Never have I found any incidents

of deaths. Neither has Phoenix Biotech, who until recently was the

maker of Anvirzel, and neither has Ozelle Pharmaceuticals which

includes members of Dr. Ozel's family and has all the records of the

past 40 plus years of Anvirzel and oleander medicine use by Dr. Ozel.

 

The bottom line is that yes, raw oleander is highly toxic and can be

fatal. What we are talking about in this group is NOT raw oleander,

but rather oleander that has been carefully boiled, strained and

condensed in essentially the same way that Dr. Ozel patented in 1998.

When properly prepared and taken according to directions, it has

never been responsible for even one life-threatening side effect,

much less a fatality. Compare that to any known chemo! Or just about

any FDA approved drug. Or for that matter, aspirin or Tylenol.

 

One note of caution: oleander's cardiac glycosides do cross assay with

digoxen/digitalis and so anyone on those drugs or blood thinning

medication should not use oleander, although many have reported doing

so (usually reducing the other medications and proceeding very

cautiously by beginning with tiny amounts and working their dosage

amount up in small increments).

 

I hope that answers your questions,

not have cancer as far as I know but have been suffering chronic

soreness deep bone pain(whole body) for many years. Have tried low

dose naltrexone for two months with no help. So I am starting to

research internet and came up Oleander. Somehow I read American

Cancer Society warning about Oleander. Wonder if it is warrant to give

a try. According to ACS it proves no benefit but may be dangerious.

I am not trying to be negative but need to proceed with caution.

eating parts of the plant or drinking tea made from it. Death has

resulted from heart failure or respiratory paralysis. Some of the

symptoms and signs of oleander toxicity are nausea, vomiting, colic,

appetite loss, dizziness, drowsiness, high potassium levels, heart

block, dilated pupils, bloody diarrhea, seizures, loss of

consciousness, and slow or irregular pulse. There have been reports of

death occurring after oral and/or rectal administration of the extract

from the plant. The FDA has received reports of at least 2 deaths

linked to the use of Anvirzel before the filing of the Investigational

New Drug application.

> Skin irritation from contact with oleander has occurred and

allergies are possible. There has been one report observing that, when

oleander was taken by a pregnant woman 12 hours before delivery, her

baby was affected with seizures and a slowed heart rate. No other

cause for the seizures and low heart rate was found. This herb should

be avoided, especially by children and women who are pregnant or

breast-feeding.
