Unknown to many people, a patented medicine version of oleander extract named Anvirzel has been used outside the United States for over 40 years.  The man who re-discovered the age old oleander remedy and developed Anvirzel is Doctor H Z Ozel.  Since the medicine he used is essentially the same as the home remedy version and the even better Sutherlandia OPC supplement (http://www.sutherlandiaopc.com), I thought it might be educational to list links to some of his case histories:
