Re: Regarding Oleander, OPC and Marc Swanepoel

Ummm, what trial thingy are you referring to? Last year there was a small scale double blind placebo controlled trial at a Johannesburg AIDS clinic and it was 100% successful insofar as the limited  criteria tested for - primarily improved CD4 cell counts.  The trial lasted for 60 days and the participants were selected based on having AIDS symptoms aggressively presented.

Everyone in the group that took OPC had an improvement in their CD4 counts, most of them marked improvements.  Everyone in the placebo group had marked declines.  None of those who took OPC had their CD4 counts restored to 500 or above, but from all indications of the trends almost all of that group would reach 500 or above (the level that is considered normal) within 3 to 4 months.

I would love to see you use OPC and report back to the group exactly how well you fare.  Until there has been enough time for people to take OPC for HIV and report back in a month or two (and even beyond that), I can understand the reason for skepticism no matter what I say or post.

I really trust Marc and OPC, but I have to tell you that giving people advice here in the forum and in my own forum and in my Yahoo group of over 750 members is not as easy as it may seem.  I mean, who am I but just a self taught and well meaning guy to give advice or information that may be critical to someone else's life?  No matter how many successes gladden my heart, I still worry about making a mistake and lose sleep worrying about my beloved group members and my friends here at CureZone who ask for my advice and help.

With OPC, I felt that I had news that could potentially save and improve millions of lives, so I guess I will make the tradeoff of losing a few winks and having that feeling in my gut that I am plummeting off the top of a steep roller coaster hill.  And taking a few slings and arrows along the way.
