Thanks Jim,
I would point out that the group is the "oleandersoup" group and not the
Sutherlandia OPC group, though sometimes it surely seems that way! For
the first few years, almost everyone in the group who used oleander
either made their own extract at home according to the instructions in
my book (also freely posted on my website, in the group files and at
CureZone), or else took the patented medicine Anvirzel from Honduras,
which the home remedy version is based on.
Then Marc Swanepoel came along and began using the same method as the
home remedy to make supplements. Intially, he had one version for
cancer and another for HIV that each included about 80% oleander and 20%
extracts of plants from the Brazilian rainforest (depending upon the
version, it was oleander plus the ABM mushroom, cat's claw, and either
pau d'arco or chrysobalanus icaco - the rid tipped plum tree). The
Brazilian company he licensed to produce the extract charged about $350
per bottle.
Marc later found that his native country's South Africa Cancer Bush gave
even better results when it made up the other 20% of the extract and he
switched to it and later developed a capsule version (and many grateful
taste buds thanked him for that - as the extract tastes pretty nasty!).
After a 100% successful double blind clinical trial for HIV in a
Johannesburg clinic and an observed over 90% success rate against a wide
range of cancers, a South African pharmaceutical company approached Marc
and they reached agreement for them to produce over 10,000 bottles per
month, for use in South Africa. The mass production resulted in
consistent quality control from batch to batch and a much lower price of
$60 for the extract and $45 for the capsules (the difference is the
higher shipping cost of the heavier liquid).
As a result of the relatively inexpensive price and the quality control,
many people began to choose the S/OPC as their preferred version of
oleander. So many in fact, that I can see how you think of the group as
the S/OPC group!
Probably way more information than you needed - lol.
All the best, Jim. In my opinion you have some great folks in both
groups rooting for you.

an essential complimentary supplement to oleander in general by Marc
Swanepoel (the naturopathic PhD who devised Sutherlandia OPC). Other
items that may may help combat cachexia are coconut oil and especially
Garden of Life's Primal Defense, a natural blend of 12 species of
probiotics and Homeostatic Soil Organisms (HSOs). It helps support
normal gastrointestinal balance of good and potentially harmful
bacteria, and maximizes the benefits of a healthy diet by supporting
normal absorption and assimilation of nutrients in the gut.
