Re: Sutherlandia opc conclusion?

 While there is no way to guarantee that anything will work 100% of the time, the answer is a resounding YES.  Sutherlandia OPC does work in the very large majority of instances, especially when it is combined with an overall anti-cancer protocol.  In actuality, two patented oleander extracts are currently in FDA trials and those do involve human patients and not just petri dishes.

Then why do the various oleander sites out there state that oleander is NO LONGER in FDA trials?

Regardless of any studies or lack thereof, the fact is that oleander has been used successfully for over 40 years on thousands of cancer patients outside the U.S. (primarily in Turkey) and for the past decade within the U.S. as well.  

And again where is the proof that ANY of this is true?  Unsubstantiated claims are a dime a dozen.  How many times have we all seen such claims just to find out that the claims are all made up?

To me it comes down to: what are you going to believe, the speculation of someone who has little knowledge or experience with oleander or real life experiences and someone who has researched oleander, written a book about it and been involved with it for several years. 

You are not the only one who has studied oleander.  I have studied it for a long time as well for different reasons.  As far as writing a book on it, so what?  Anyone can write a book and get it published. That does not mean the information is factual or that there is any real evidence to back the claims being made.

I would also point out that if we had to rely on studies alone, then millions and millions of people around the world would have been deprived of life-saving and healing natural and alternative therapies. 

Who said anything about relying on studies alone?  Studies often come about from observation.  But the studies help prove or disprove benefits and risks that may exist.  Otherwise you simply have someone's word for the claims being made, which may or may not be true.

Keep in mind how many old time "cures" from arsenic to cocaine were also considered cures for all sorts of things at one time.  There were even advertisements, books and all sorts of testimonials to back the claims these were cures.  But actual studies disproved these claims and showed how dangerous the claims for these substances were.  This is why REAL studies are needed to verify claims rather than relying on hype.
