Re: Oleander as standalone therapy vs comprehensive protocol

Sorry for taking a while to reply - I have been pretty much out of pocket over the long holiday weekend.

Yes, my suggested protocol is quite comprehensive and yes it does include several suggested supplementary items. In many instances, probably most instances, it is probably more comprehensive than needed. In others though, perhaps not and it might take every bit of the protocol for success. My intention was to address every possible cause and need and leave no stone unturned due to my belief that the more bullets you have in your gun, provided they are compatible, the better your chances of having ones that will work.

I agree completely that a person could follow my suggested protocol WITHOUT the oleander and likely be successful. Likewise one could probably forego the highly successful Budwig portion and use oleander and most of the rest and probably be successful. That is the intent of the protocol, keeping in mind that some people might not be able to tolerate the oleander or other suggested component of the protocol well enough to take the maximum therapeutic dosages. I will say, however, that oleander is certainly a centerpiece and note that it contains a great number of cancer fighting and immune boosting compounds (oleandrin and the other cardiac glysosides, quercetin, beta sitosterol, other long chain polysacharrides and much more). In addition to specific cancer fighting and destroying actions, oleander is also the most potent immune stimulator on the planet as far as I am aware. The immune system is our first line of defense against cancer and other illness and it is important not only for keeping cancer and illness from gaining a foothold to begin with, but also in beating it if it does appear and keeping it at bay once it has been defeated.

With all the items in my suggested protocol, it is difficult to establish just how much oleander or any other single component contributed to the success rates. I suspect that most often it is a combination of items, and that is why I always talk about oleander success in combination with other items and that is why I NEVER recommend oleander or any other single item as a standalone protocol.  Actually I really do not care how much success is attributed to, or even actually due to, oleander so long as the overall protocol is successful - though that is not saying that oleander is not a major proven cancer fighter. - because I am 100% convinced that it is.

The best answer I can give you regarding how successful oleander is as a standalone protocol is the results of oleander pioneer Dr. H. Z. Ozel, who has treated thousands of cancer patients with oleander over the past 40 years. Dr. Ozel is a mainstream doctor and as such is allowed to only prescribe and use oleander after mainstream treatments have failed or else as a complimentary item to be used in conjunction with mainstream chemo/radiation therapies. In most instances, he has used oleander after mainstream treatments have failed. Notably, Ozel is not an integrative doctor. As far as I know, oleander is the only alternative/complimentary itme he uses and there has been no accompanying supplements or medicines and neither has their been the dietary and lifestyle changes recommended by alternative protocols such as the one I recommend. His overall reported success rate is over 70%.

I am in the process of writing the successor book to "Cancer's Natural Enemy", which will be titled "Cancer's Natural Enemies". Part of that effort will include taking a long look at the suggested protocol and both prioritizing which items are most important as well as zeroing in a bit better on suggested dosages. I may end up color-coding the items and suggesting to use X number of highest priority red items, X number of next priority green items and X number (or as many as possible) of the next order yellow items. While that may present a way to minimize the number of supplements somewhat, certainly all of the dietary, lifestyle, cleasing, etc. suggestions should be followed to the greatest extent possible. In the interim, I will point you to an article I wrote:

"Beating Cancer on a Shoestring Budget"

and post the following recommendations, which are considerably less extensive than my own, by Naturopathic PhD Marc Swanepoel, who formulatged the Sutherlandia OPC oleander-based line of supplements:

 

Suggested Protocol for Sutherlandia OPC from Marc Swanepoel

 

To maximize the effectiveness of the S/OPC I also suggest the protocol below. The 5 most important items are (a) S/OPC (b) NAC (c) Curcumin (d) liver cleanse and (e) try to cut out animal proteins.

Protocol for cancer

 

(1) Take the Sutherlandia OPC regularly.

(2) Cut out ALL animal proteins (meat, milk, eggs, yoghurt, fish) as well as sugar. If you are worried that you won't get enough protein, then take un-denatured whey protein.

(3) Get rid of stressful situations in your life and put past traumas behind you otherwise they will surely kill you.

(4) Go to bed by 10:30 pm

(5) Drink enough water (6 - 8 glasses per day).

(6) Eat only starches, vegetables (excluding potatoes) and fruit. Carrot juice is a good example.

(7) Get at least half an hour of direct sun per day.

(8) Do a liver cleanse every 4 weeks until you don't pass any gallstones.

(9) Take 200 micrograms Selenium per day with your food.

(10) Take Inositol/IP6  as suggested in Tony Isaac's Anti-cancer protocol     http://www.tbyil.com/anticancer.htm )

(11) Add curcumin as a supplement (as per the work of Dr H Kremer).

(12) For very advanced cases of anti-fungal infection, take a prescription medicine like Nystatin or Diflucan for 2 weeks. For those who do not want to take prescription medication, take an anti-fungal like Colloidal Silver or olive leaf extract on a daily basis.

(13) Take 1 teaspoonful of Black Seed Oil (Nigella Sativa) 3 times per day after meals.

(14) Take 2 x 600mg Time Release capsules of N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) with fruit juice three times per day on an empty stomach (to help the body synthesize Glutathione). If wasting (weight loss) is already advanced, these amounts can be doubled. There are reports that high dosages of NAC can lead to the loss of Zinc, Copper and other trace minerals and it may be advisable to take a trace mineral supplement to prevent this possibility. 

 

Suggested Dosages

 

 

Sutherlandia OPC (500ml Liquid)

 

Start off by taking 5ml (1 teaspoon) once per day during mealtime for 2 days.

Increase dosage to 5 ml twice per day with meals for a further 2 days.

Increase dosage to 5ml three times per day with meals for 1 month.

If no improvement, increase dosage to 10ml three times per day for 2 months.

If still no response, the dosage can be increased to 45ml per day (3 x 15ml)

 

Sutherlandia OPC ( 60 Capsules)

 

Start off by taking 1 capsule with breakfast for 2 days.

Increase dosage to 1 capsule twice per day (2 caps total) with breakfast and lunch for a further 2 days.

For more serious ailments increase dosage to 2 capsules twice per day (4 caps total) with breakfast and lunch for 1 month.

If no improvement, increase dosage to 3 capsules twice per day (6 caps total) with breakfast and lunch for 2 months.

It is also advisable to do the following 5-day liver cleanse.

 

5-day liver cleanse.

 

It is best to have day 4 on a Saturday or at a time when you are staying at home.

Day 1: Drink 1 liter of apple juice during the day. Eat as normal otherwise.

Day 2: Drink another liter of apple juice. Eat normally

Day 3: Drink a 3rd liter of apple juice. Eat normally

Day 4: Do not take any sold food after lunch time

6pm - Take one level tablespoon of Epsom salt in a glass of water

8pm - Take another tablespoon of Epsom salt in a glass of water. You may find

that you already have to take a trip to the toilet before the 8pm Epsom salt.

10pm - Mix one half glass of olive oil and three quarter glass of freshly squeezed

grape fruit juice by shaking it very well in a jar with a lid so that it mixes well and immediately get into bed after drinking the mixture. You will probably make more than one trip to the toilet during the night as well as during the next day.

Day 5: 6am: Take another tablespoon of Epsom salt in a glass of water

            8am: Take one final tablespoon of Epsom salt in a glass of water.

You will find that many gallstones from the liver will be passed and one will notice them in the toilet. They will vary in size from about pin head size to 10mm. Gallstones in the liver are a major cause of many health problems.

The above liver cleanse can  be repeated every month until one finds that for two months in succession no more gallstones are passed. The liver will then be clean.

(You can read about this in much more detail in Andreas Moritz's book ' "The liver and gallbladder miracle cleanse" which you can download from his site at www.ener-chi.com).

S/OPC results to be expected

The normal situation is the following (For stages I – III. Stage IV can take twice to three times as long) :

(a) The rate of growth of the tumor/s slows down (after 3 - 6 weeks)

(b) The cancer stabilizes (after 6  - 10 weeks)

(c) The tumor starts to reduce in size (10 - 16 weeks)

Here it must be noted that sometimes there is only a slow decrease in size due to the fact that the bulk of the cells inside the tumor may be normal cells. So, even if al the tumor cells die, then the remainder of the normal cells will retain their size. The tumor/s may then become hard (encrusted) and may take a long time, even years to be re-absorbed by the body.

(d) Patient in remission (8 - 12 months)

All the above should take place PROVIDED one follows the suggested protocol especially the S/OPC, the NAC, the Curcumin and the restriction of animal proteins.

Remember, it is the RATE OF GROWTH that will initially slow down even if there is still some growth.
