Oleander - The amazing healing powers and deadly risks
Warning: Oleander extract is made from a highly deadly, poisonous plant. The following article aims to provide exciting insights into emerging scientific evidence for its use as a natural remedy. Taking this extract without the guidance of an expert can lead to serious health complications, including death.
Recently I have had many questions about the benefits and risks of taking oleander extract for cancer, as well as bird or swine flu and other illnesses. I think this plant has amazing properties and is definitely worth writing a post about.
However, I recommend anyone who wants to take this herb to do their own research. Sometimes the most poisonous plants provide the fastest health benefits, however, must be used with extreme caution.
The origins of the oleander
Known as the “Desert Rose” in ancient texts, historical references show that Mesopotamians dated back to the 15th century B.C. BC trusted in the healing effects of oleander extracts. From a hangover cure to an herb screened for cancer, the Babylonians, Romans, Arabs, and ancient Greeks alike used this herbal extract for a variety of health problems.
Oleander, also known as Laurier Rose, Dogbane and Rosebay, is native to the western Himalayas. It is an incredibly hardy, adaptable plant that grows thick and green in mountainous climates.
This fast-growing plant produces clusters of beautiful pink, white and red flowers in spring. Traditionally, oleander leaf has been used to treat a number of health conditions. If you live in the southern United States, chances are you or your neighbors have it growing in the yard.
Modern studies show that while no single chemical component of the extract can be cited as the sole source of its health benefits, the plant's potent activity results from a highly complex fusion of components contained in the combined form of the extract. These components work synergistically to strengthen and stimulate the human immune system, providing support for a variety of health problems.

Oleander also acts as a mildly toxic agent to boost the immune function of individuals in the following ways:

Oleander Extract: Did you know?
The South African government is currently endorsing the use of oleander extract to treat HIV. Similarly, many universities and institutions in the country are following suit and using the extract to support cancer patients. (Source)
Studies by Doctor Ozel, head of the surgical department at Mugla State Hospital in Turkey, found that oleander extract is helpful in treating cancer patients who were classified as incurable cases after conventional medical therapy. ((link removed))
Oleander: risks and side effects
While oleander has many healing properties, similar to many powerful botanical remedies, this plant can also be fatal if ingested or prepared incorrectly. This plant should never be consumed raw as its raw extract form is highly toxic. One raw leaf contains enough poison to kill a small child as well as any pet. ((link removed))
There have been many cases of poisoning and death due to ingestion of oleander, oleander leaves and its extracts. Even consuming honey from the plant's nectar can have dangerous effects. ((link removed))
Due to this fact, additional use of this plant should be made ONLY under the guidance of a trained herbalist or physician under careful observation and controlled conditions. Similarly, due to the highly toxic nature of the plant, this botanical should and will only be taken for illness support NOT Recommended as a daily supportive nutritional supplement.
If anyone is interested, studies show that Dr. Ozel's oleander-based remedy was more than six times as effective as the most powerful immunostimulants sold commercially.
Please remember that you must do proper research on oleander and consult with a trained herbalist or doctor before taking any supplements containing oleander extract.
