Re: 'Lost' Cures
Yes, we grew up with oleanders and never touched them. Everyone knew how toxic they were but, according to the article, it is the toxic plant they're referring to. This is one of the reasons it hasn't been approved. The warning is inferred in the article:
Soon, Doctor Ozel made his own cancer remedy based on the original folk remedy and for over 40 years now he has used an oleander extract he named Anvirzelâ„¢ to treat cancer, hepatitis-C, HIV-AIDS, psoriasis, and other degenerative diseases. Although Anvirzelâ„¢ passed FDA phase 1 trials and has been used successfully in hospitals and clinics outside the USA, it may be many years, if ever, before Anvirzelâ„¢ or any other oleander extract is an FDA approved drug. It takes years and costs 100's of millions of dollars to get a drug fully approved - and there is little interest among major pharmaceutical companies in spending that kind of money on something they cannot fully patent or control - a common plant and a centuries old folk remedy.
