Hey Martin--
I listened to your prophet--haven't quite finished it yet--and I am willing to be cautiously optimistic.
38And Elisha came again to Gilgal: and there was a dearth in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him: and he said unto his servant, Set on the great pot, and seethe pottage for the sons of the prophets.
39And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered thereof wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage: for they knew them not.
40So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O thou man of God, there is death in the pot. And they could not eat thereof.
41But he said, Then bring meal. And he cast it into the pot; and he said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was no harm in the pot. --2Kings 4
When he talked about a deadly plant that would cure cancer, the word 'oleander' popped into my mind. I do not live in a part of the world where that plant is present so it surprised me and I googled 'deadly oleander and cancer.' Here is what came up:
Oleander, A Cure for Cancer?In the early 1960's a Turkish doctor by the name of Huseyin Ziya Ozel was searching for a cure for his pet dog's cancer.
He noticed that a large number of Turkish villagers referred to him came from high altitudes and he thought that perhaps there was more to the story than just the higher incidence of skin cancer associated with higher altitudes...
My own search for a possible cancer cure began in late 2004 when I found out that my cousin, lifelong friend and running buddy, Jeff Johnson, had been diagnosed as having stage-three melanoma.
The cancer had appeared out of nowhere and so it was quite a shock to my cousin and everyone close to him.
As luck would have it, I had spent a lot of time the previous four years or so working on my dream of someday posting a website aimed at helping aging baby boomers and others live longer, healthier and happier lives. Naturally, a lot of my research involved searching for ways to ward off and treat diseases and ills such as cancer, Alzheimer's, heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney and liver disease, and so forth.
When I found out about my cousin, I already had a head start on knowing where and how to look, and so I began to redouble my efforts and focus my research more on cancer. As a result of my research, I found a lot of very good information about fighting cancer and other diseases, boosting our immune systems and improving health in general - much of which you may find in my simple "A Plan for Living a Long and Healthy Life" posted here in this forum. However, it was not my research that led me to finding out about the magical, miraculous oleander plant - it was a card game! (Oleander is also known as dogbane, laurier rose, and rosebay)
Yes, the way I first heard about the healing powers of oleander happened one evening when I was sitting down at a friendly card game and mentioned my cousin's cancer. An acquaintance of mine whom I had known for a few years and who had worked for the American Medical Association at one time, looked across the table at me and, as serious as could be, said "I know a cure." He then proceeded to tell me an amazing story of what he knew about oleander. Later, I found others who told me essentially the same basic story, although each person seemed to have a slightly different version. I fully expect that the story is headed toward becoming a modern day legend someday. Although the versions I heard have differed somewhat, the basic story line I believe to be essentially correct is as follows:

Like I said, Martin, I'm willing to be cautiously optimistic--but first we must throw off the parasite that sucks the very life out of the world for the benefit of satan. And, that's hard to do when most people have not even identified the parasite, yet, or have sold their soul to him.
