Has anyone heard of this drug from Honduras. Anvirzel is from the oleander plant, the non-poisonous type. It is said to help lung, breast and other cancers. Sounds like it is FDA approved for certain patients.

    I couldn't find any reference to Anvirzel being used for any cancer treatment in the US. It is not FDA approved for any use other than cell-based study (no human clinical trial has been done). A Phase 1 clinical trial was approved in 2013, but withdrawn in the recruitment phase.

    What put you on to it? I couldn't find much through Google.
