Agaricus blazei NaturalNews) Years ago, when I first began research into the amazing oleander plant, I ended up as a member

of two Yahoo Health Groups about oleander. One was named "Anvirzel" (after the patented Oleander medicine which had passed

FDA phase 1 trials a few years earlier) and the other, "Oleandersoup" (named for the home remedy version of the patented

medicine). As a result, I became friends and acquaintances with many people close to oleander and Anvirzel, one of whom was a

noted South African humanitarian, entrepreneur, crusader and researcher named Mr. Swanepoel Swanepoel. Mr. Swanepoel was

keenly interested in the oleander plant due to the epidemic of HIV-AIDS in his native country as well as the number of

indigent cancer patients who could not afford mainstream treatment options (and which he believed were largely ineffective

anyway). Like several of us in the groups, Mr. Swanepoel began making his own oleander home remedy after the instructions

were posted by Ed Hensley "The Father of Oleander Soup" and the first moderator of the Yahoo "Oleandersoup" group. Unlike the

rest of us, Mr. Swanepoel took things a few steps further and he began searching the Brazilian Rain Forest and his native

South Africa for other botanicals to combine with oleander. After testing various combinations, Mr. Swanepoel settled on two

similar botanical supplements which consisted of 80% oleander extract made exactly according to the oleander soup

instructions. The first supplement was for HIV/AIDS patients and it added extracts of the agaricus blazei murrill (ABM)

mushroom, cats claw, and pau de arco, while the second supplement, intended for cancer, substituted the relatively rare

chrysobalanus icaco (red-tipped coco plum) for the pau de arco. All of the rain forest botanicals added to the oleander have

their own histories of successful immune boosting and cancer fighting abilities, some dating back centuries among the

indigenous Amazon peoples. I asked Mr. Swanepoel why he used oleander for 80% of the mix and he confided that, as potent as

the other botanicals were, he felt that oleander was by far the most effective botanical he had ever found. Mr. Swanepoel

soon selected a Brazilian manufacturing facility named Takesun do Brasil to make his supplements for him and he also licensed

them to market his supplements around the world. Takesun is managed (or was) by a German PhD named George Otto (The Takesun

website, a bit rough in the English version, can be found -- but I do not recommend that you buy any of their products at

this time! I will just say that I believe that there are better and more reliable sources and that Mr. Swanepoel Swanepoel

agrees and leave it at that). Ultimately, the OPC product grew to be quite successful, especially in Dr. Otto's native

Germany. So much so, that two clinics were built which used only the OPC and Agaricus products and Dr. Otto ended up moving

back to Germany where plans are in the works for a hospital built around an oleander/agaricus protocol. Meanwhile, in South

Africa, Mr. Swanepoel returned to his native South Africa and made notable progress of his own -- first getting the

government to embrace the use of his oleander supplements for HIV and cancer and then getting it accepted by various doctors

and clinics as well as gaining some support at the university level. Over the past three years, he and I have kept in touch

and he has told me many times of the success his supplements have had in helping HIV and cancer patients, but I have to admit

that I was somewhat remiss in digging a bit deeper and finding out the true scope of the success until the first part of this

year when I asked Mr. Swanepoel how the patients in South Africa were faring and he reported back: "Everything's still ok

here and cancer patients as well as HIV patients on the oleander mix are doing well. The medical doctor in Cape Town who is

using the mix for all his cancer patients has continued to have good results. The oncologist where he sends his patients to

(a woman) was so impressed with the results that she is now using it herself for prevention. "... to date, the only patients

that did not make it on the oleander mix were three patients with very advanced cancer that had metastasized to the liver and

who had been on intensive chemo treatments. In my opinion, the effect of the chemo on the liver and heart eventually led to

failure of those organs."
