For those of you who are fans of Webster Kehr's excellent CancerTutor.com site, as I have been for a long time, you may be interested to know that he has now elevated oleander into his highest rating of treatments (Stage IV) and also has updated his page on oleander:

Webster is a tireless champion of alternative cancer treatments and his site is one of the very first places I started out researching natural and alternative cancer treatments years ago.  In the interim Webster and I have exchanged a great amount of information.  I consider him both a mentor and a friend.

Oleander is the most potent immune boosting substance known to man - fully six times more powerful than the most powerful patented immune boosters.  It has been demonstrated in peer reviewed studies to beat cancer by 1) inhibiting angiogenesis, the process where cancer produces blood vessels and spreads, 2) inhibiting the NF-kB factor in cancer cells, which is the process that cells use to protect themselves when they come under attack, 3) inducing apoptosis, or normal cell death, in cancer cells, and 4) greatly stimulating immune activity.

In my experience and that of noted South African cancer and HIV researcher and crusador Marc Swanepoel (who developed the Sutherlandia OPC supplement), oleander has been over 90% successful for a very broad range of cancers, including those in very late stages.
