beneficial to cancer victims.

Botany

Errect, smooth shrub, 1.5 to 3 mteters high with a cream-colored

sticky resinous juice. Leaves are in whorls of 3 or 4, linear-

lanceolate, 10-15 cm long, with numerous horizontal nerves. Flowers

are showy, sweet-scented, single or double, 4-5 cm in diameter,

white, pink or red, borne in termianl inflorescense (cymes). Fruit is

cylindric, paired, with deep linear striations, 15-20 cm long. Seeds

are numerous and compressed, with a tuft of fine, shining, white,

silky hairs.

 

Distribution

Cultivated for its flowers; no where established.

 

Constituents and properties

Glycoside, oleadrin; tannin; volatile oil, 0.25%.

Nerium oleander's leaves contain two principles: neriin and

oleandrin, glucosides with properties similar to digitalin.

The seeds contain phytosterin and l-strophnathin. The bark contains

toxic glycosides: rosaginin and nerlin, volatile oil, fixed oil.

 

Nerium odorum's bark yielded two toxic bitter principles­neriodorin

and neriodorein. Another toxic principle is karabin. Both karabin and

neriodorin are probably resins, rather than glucosides.

 

The pharmacologic actions of of neriin and oleandrin resemble those

of digitalis glucosides. In human beings, toxicity manifests as

nausea, vomiting, colic, decreased appetite, dizziness, drowsiness,

bradycardia and irregular heart beats, pupillary dilation, and

sometimes unconsciousness attributed to digitalis poisoning.

 

Parts used and preparation

Bark and leaves.

 

 

Folkloric uses:

- Herpes zoster (skin): Crush leaves, mix with oil and apply on

lesions. Do not apply on raw surface. Milky juice of the plant is

irritating. Caution: Not to be taken internally.

- Herpes simplex: Mix 1 cup of chopped leaves and bark with 2

tablespoons of oil. Apply to lesions 3 times daily.

- Ringworm: Chop a foot long branch and mix with 1 cup chopped fresh

young leaves. Mix the juice with 5 drops of fresh coconut oil. Apply

3 times daily.

- Snake bites: Pound 10 leaves and a piece of branch. Apply poultice

to the wound.

- Root, locally and internally, used for abortion.

- Roots, made into paste with water, used for hemorrhoids.

- Roots and bark used externally for eczema, snake bites and as

insecticide.

- Fresh leaves applied to tumors to hasten suppuration.

That information is pretty sparse when it comes to oleander - but then

I would say that,having researched and written a book and several

articles on it.

 

Oleander has been used medicinally for thousands of years, dating back

to the ancient Mesopotamians and Phoenicians. It has been used for

cancer dating back at least to the 8th century BC when it was recorded

to have been used by Arabs for cancer.

Ted,What works for Lymes is Utopia Silver's Advanced Colloidal Silver - take lots of it for several days or longer. I would suggest getting a gallon or more of it and taking 4 ounces a day. No, you won't turn blue and your Lymes should be gone. It also works for all kinds of infections and tough conditions - including candida, Crohn's, MRSA, etc., and your pets will love it when you add a bit to their drinking water.If you do buy it, be sure to use the group discount code of LR001 to get 15% off if it is not currently on sale (that same code, originally created for this group, is good for any item Utopia Silver sells that is not on sale at the time)Tonyoleander soup , Ted Mozell <tedmozell wrote:>> Hi Tony ,> I have been following your group for a little while and not seen any posts on lyme .

I agree that silver kills Lyme, however to say that it will be "gone", well, I wish it were that easy. If you aren't already a member, try to join lymestrategies- C
