I am adding a form of oleander to my fathers daily regime for pancreatic cancer and was wondering if anybody has used it.

There is some promising information that it may be helpful in fighting this nasty disease.

Any info. is appreciated.

I am curious how one uses oleander. I remember playing in it as a kid and was warned of it's toxicity. Would one use similar to Mistletoe regime? Hope all is going well .

Oleander is indeed extremely toxic. I advise against its use. Even in small quantities it can kill.

May I also echo the above and say to run any and all supplements or herbs past the doctor before beginning them. Many have contrary effects to chemotherapy treatment and can actually conflict/undermine the treatment.

Best of luck to your Father.
