Guest guest Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 This is what i found at www.stuartxchange.com, a philippine website of herbal medicines, on oleander. Cancer treatment is not one of those listed. This website does not indicate if the herb is beneficial to cancer victims. Melly ================ Adelfa Nerium indicum Mill. SOUTH SEA ROSE Chia-chu-t'ao Other scientific names Common names Neroum oleander Blanco Adelfa (Span., Tag.) Nerium odorum Soland. Baladre (Tag.) Ceylon Tree (Engl.) Dog bane (Engl.) Oleander (Engl.) Rose bay (Engl.) South sea rose (Engl.) Chia-chu-t'ao (Chin.) 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.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 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. oleander soup , " milagros almanzor " <tita_mel wrote: > > This is what i found at www.stuartxchange.com, a philippine website > of herbal medicines, on oleander.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 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 .

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 I agree that silver kills Lyme, however to say that it will be "gone", well, I wish it were that easy.
