The Father of Oleander Soup – Section 2 of the Oleander Collection
In the earlier posting “An Wonderful Discovery in Turkey”, the initial of this series of posts about oleander, I described how Medical professional H. Z. Ozelle found out an age previous solution for cancer and other disorders in rural Turkey in the early 1960’s and, soon after correctly dealing with hundreds of clients about the past 40 decades, Dr. Ozel patented the medicine and it was entered into Food and drug administration trials. Unfortunately, following passing period I trials, the patented drugs recognized as Anvirzel has languished for lack of funding (numerous take into consideration a the patent, primarily based on an age previous remedy and frequent plant to be a weak a single) and inter-firm squabbles – and it may possibly be several a long time, if ever, in advance of this promising most cancers fighter reaches the market as an Fda authorised medicine.
The fantastic information is that you do not have to wait for the approved medication, simply because you can make your have oleander extract at home on your stovetop, centered on the initial patent by Health care provider Ozel and the people treatment that has been used for hundreds of decades. Oleander is a the natural way growing plant uncovered all in excess of the southern and southwestern United States and all over considerably of the earth, and if it is just not developing normally near you, you can purchase oleander crops from many mail-get nurseries on the world-wide-web. (There are also at minimum 3 sources of a industrial health supplement version I am informed of, but that will have to wait for a subsequent installment in this series.).
Sure, you can make your very own oleander treatment, acknowledged as “oleander soup” at household about as very easily as a large pot of beans, and for that, you can thank a personal injuries law firm by the identify of Edward F. Hensley, from San Antonio, Texas, whom I call the “Father of Oleander Soup”.
In 2002, Ed’s mom was identified with liver and lung most cancers, smaller mobile, and a sister with Hepatitis-C. Ed’s sister, Catrina (Cat), commenced investigating and networking with her good friends for solutions to the doctor’s prognosis that Betty Hensley only had a few months to dwell. Following contacting a single of her aged pals, she was told about a clinic in Honduras she could contact and examine a new most cancers drug, which was getting manufactured in San Antonio. Cat designed a couple of calls and located who to get the drug from. It price $1500.00 for a six-7 days supply of what was termed Anvirzel(TM). Cat, Ed, and their brother John place up the preliminary cash and the drug was requested.
Betty had been looking at an oncologist in San Antonio, who encouraged of the dangers of chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, and the truth that in her superior phase, it would have only a little probability of extending her daily life, and a significant possibility of really serious aspect effects, together with destroying her immune program. Even so, she did try out chemo for numerous weeks, with no final result. When the Anvirzel(TM) arrived, she commenced injecting it with Cat’s support, next the guidance offered by the professional medical physician in Honduras. Right after 3 months she went in for new scans with her oncologist. The new movies showed the tumors in both equally her lungs and her liver were being shrinking. Her health practitioner could not straight participate in the injections, but agreed to investigate the drug.
When the six week source was about long gone, and Betty was incredibly sore at the internet site of her injections, Ed began exploring what this new drug was designed of, and what it is very long phrase usage likely to do, and charge. The Food and drug administration experienced a letter posted on its web site, warning about the drug, made from the oleander plant, saying it was unproven and should really not be employed. But, the clinic in Honduras was reporting lots of profitable cures of a number of sorts of most cancers, including juvenile brain cancer.
Ed was identified to obtain out what was in the drug, and went to the U.S. Patent office website site and investigated using the expression Anvirzel. Soon after a number of lookups, Ed identified the patent. It was about 39 internet pages of legalese, composed in the language of patent attorneys, who demand $400 for each hour for creating patents, which only legal professionals and experts dare to read.
After numerous months of component time study, the patent began to make sense. It was only a really baffling, overly in depth, and exaggerated method of making a soup out of the leaves and stems of a common plant, oleander. No challenge. Ed experienced huge oleander vegetation in his back garden, which had been incredibly healthier ornamentals with gorgeous flowers year-round. Generating the soup was as basic as getting a soup pot, some clippers, an electric powered warm plate, and a place to cook dinner. Ed’s wife, Carol, would not permit him to cook dinner it in her kitchen, so Ed was resigned to his outside the house retail outlet place, a 10×18 foot building storing property instruments and seasonal athletics devices. After burning numerous pots of soup simply because the warmth was way too substantial, Ed turned down the heat, and boiled the h2o and oleander clippings for four hrs. Then he took out the leaves and stems, and strained the remaining broth, employing paper towels and plastic strainers. Per Dr. Ozel’s system in the patent, he permitted the broth to awesome in advance of straining. He then gradual boiled the broth until eventually only about a person fifth of the authentic liquid was remaining in the bottom of the 12-quart pot.
Ed measured the distinct gravity with an anti-freeze gauge, which showed the measurements on a little scale. It was where by Dr. Ozel advised in the patent, about as thick as hen soup broth. Up coming, 10 feeder mice were being acquired and offered the new liquid, which Ed named “oleander soup”, as their only supply of liquid for two months, with all the mouse food they could take in. The mice attained body weight, had been variety of lazy, but remained alive and on the lookout perfectly.
Ed’s mom was about out of her supply of Anvirzel at that issue, so Ed took a bottle of the soup to Betty’s residence for a comparison with her drug. It seemed the similar. It tasted the similar. The new soup was clean, not freeze dried and re-constituted, and in accordance to Betty, tasted fresher. Ed went initial and tried some, about a teaspoon. Betty then experimented with it, using a teaspoon complete. She declared she liked the fresh edition improved, and that was that. She took oral doses 3 times a day with foods, with diarrhea the only side effect, which subsided after a 7 days.
Her assessments 3 weeks afterwards had been surprising, showing the tumors have been nonetheless shrinking and were being practically absent. A thirty day period later on, she experienced no tumors at all. Betty stop having the soup following another month, just after her health care provider declared she was no cost of most cancers.
Sadly, about eight months afterwards, feeling healthful, and energetic, Betty flopped down on her bed for a nap, and felt her collar bone snap. Exams showed most cancers in the bone, and it was aggressive. Her oncologist referred her to yet another doctor who advisable some solid new chemotherapy, and discouraged her from likely back again on the oleander extract. In two months the chemo had slowed the bone most cancers, but experienced also destroyed her kidneys. She died a month afterwards of kidney failure, under no circumstances taking yet another fall of the oleander soup or Anvirzel, which experienced earlier saved her life. But she trustworthy her oncologist, who was pretty pleasant and quite persuasive. Thankfully, Betty did live to be 88 decades of age. She had been a hefty, two pack a day smoker since Ed’s father gave her a cigarette when she was 18. He died at 61 from coronary disorder, specifically linked to his weighty smoking.
Catrina had been working with Hepatitis-C, a severe liver affliction, which frequently prospects to liver most cancers. She commenced creating her possess oleander soup and took it, hoping it would stop her ailment. It did. In significantly less than two months, her Hepatitis-C was gone. Her liver enzymes were being standard. It has not returned in over two many years. She has shared the recipe with medical professionals from Mexico who are dealing with bad clients with aids, most cancers, Hepatitis-c, and psoriasis. A close friend of hers reviews her rheumatoid arthritis signs have long gone applying the homemade remedy. She laughs when describing the scene in her kitchen, with a large pot of boiling leaves, and two Mexican brothers, healthcare physicians, standing there having notes on how to cook a thing not just about as hard as “boracho beans” or rooster mole, two favourite Mexican dishes.
Later on in 2003, Ed was surfing the World-wide-web, seeking for web-sites that referenced “Anvirzel”. He observed the Minnesota Wellness Listing site, and browse their remarks about how great the prospects ended up for this new extract designed from poisonous oleander leaves. Ed e-mailed the host the recipe and a short summary of his investigate. Following the host, David Bonello, researched the strategy and the soup recipe, such as receiving opinions from his herbalist and professional medical close friends, he revealed the recipe on his website in his June 2003 newsletter, with warnings about its use.
Since 2003, a fantastic a lot of folks have used the recipe to make their personal oleander soup, together with pals and family members of Ed Hensley, David Bonello and the writer. Not 1 of them have reported a serious aspect outcome and a lot of of them have claimed that their cancers and other disorders had disappeared or ended up greatly were improved.
