Here is info on the Chllorella (algae). Don't be taken in by these products. Read the entire article. Then oleander (Sutherlandia OPC) is one of the most poisonous plants known. This is not stuff to fool around with. FDA does not regulate supplments, and here in the US they cannot advertise that they are a cure for anything. These products all come from outside the country. Be very careful. Take care, JC

Thank you for such a prompt response but you did not include any link to any articles. I am well aware that these things are not approved by FDA and that they may be scams that is why I am asking if anyone has tried any of it and had any results, good or bad. I hope someone might have some first hand information/experience with either or both.

I can say I've never heard of it here before. But look under Nutrition here and maybe something will come up. Sorry I forgot the links. Here they are.

LDN is a prescription treatment not a supplement.

I take OPC-3 for my pycnogenol and antioxidants.
www.marketamericascience.com.
I get it (and all their products) wholesale. I take the OPC, ORAC (berry extracts), their curcumin (has broccoli sprouts and selenium with it), Co-Q10, Digestive Enzymes w/probiotics, resveratrol, aloe juice.
The other supplements I take (mushrooms) I get from Dr. Chang, but not wholesale. www.meridianmedical.org.
Feel free to PM me if you want what I can get wholesale.

P.S. The OPC I take has no oleander. That's not what OPC is. Check the website and read the ingredients, no oleander. It has: pycnolgenol (French Martime Pinebark); citrix extract bioflavinoids; red wine extract. It's a potent antioxidant and should NOT be taken with chemotherapy.

Hi Alisa,
Thanks for sharing. Can you tell me a little more about Dr. Chang. I just made an appointment with him, for my husband for next Wednesday. Can you tell me how long you have been seeing him? for what precise illness? etc.
He sounds almost too good to be true.
Thanks
Nili

Hi Nili, I've been seeing Dr. Chang for 9 years, ever since my original diagnosis. He's extremely knowledgeable about supplements/herbs/botanicals, etc. and cancer. Many doctors and hospitals consult with him. I am considered NED (No Evidence of Disease) since my lobectomy and adjuvant chemo treatments that I had in 2000. I was Stage 3a non-small cell adenocarcinoma.
Others on the list have either seen or consulted with Dr. Chang and were impressed with his knowledge in the area.
Please let me know how your husband's appointment with him goes and keep in touch.

Hi Nili,
See if you can find this book at your library. PH MIRACLE LIVING by Dr. Robert Young. He explains how we can bring healing to our bodies even in severe health conditiions.
It's not the easiest protocol to follow. A Vegan way of life, Do what you believe in and what you honestly feel you can incorporate into your current protocol.
Becky :)
