Did you see the post from Dr. Marc Swanepoel to earthman with regard as to the cooking of Oleander? Also, Dr. Swanepoel who is healing cancer and aids patients with Oleander has just put his Oleander remedy in capsule form, for about, I think it is $75.00 if you are interested. Let me invite you to Tony's Oleander Forum where you can learn all about the plant. If you choose to cook it, at first you take 1/4 of a teaspoon and then work yourself up to a tablespoon in order to prevent nausea and the other terrible side effects. earthman on top of taking too many supplements, I believe increased his Oleander a bit too quickly. Here is the forum link. There are also plenty of articles and information there for you.
