Oleandrin has been <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-new-unproven-coronavirus-cure-oleandrin-hud-ben-carson-2020-8">touted as a potential treatment by Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, as well as MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell</a>. Lindell has a financial stake in a company developing an oleandrin product to treat coronavirus.One study from that company has <a href="https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.07.15.203489v1.full.pdf">reportedly shown oleandrin can inhibit the coronavirus in lab tests</a>, appearing to reduce measures of infection in kidney cells derived from monkeys. It has not yet been peer-reviewed or published, and the treatment has not been widely studied. Experts have also raised serious questions about its safety.Oleandrin is derived from a flowering shrub common in warm regions worldwide, and is popular as an ornamental plant in places like southern California and Texas. Its leaves, stems, and flowers contain compounds, including oleandrin, that are extremely toxic, and can cause side effects even in small amounts. <h2>Oleander is so poisonous it's been used in real-life murders as well as mystery stories</h2>Oleander's main claim to fame is that it has featured prominently in both fictional and real-life murders.It was used to poison a cheating lover in the novel (and film) "<a href="https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/books/99/04/25/daily/042999fitch-book-review.html">White Oleander</a>." It was also infamously involved in a 2000 murder in which a woman named Angelina Rodriguez allegedly poisoned her husband with oleander leaves and antifreeze. Rodriguez wasn't convicted for his death until three years later, and detectives on the case said the autopsy results didn't detect the poison, according to the <a href="https://www.pasadenastarnews.com/2015/01/23/how-greed-kept-one-woman-from-getting-away-with-her-husbands-murder/">Pasadena Star News</a>.A decade earlier, a <a href="https://www.upi.com/Archives/1990/10/10/Trial-ordered-in-nations-first-oleander-poisoning-case/2694655531200/">funeral home employee went on trial</a> for allegedly using oleander leaves to poison a rival mortician. The victim had reportedly threatened to expose the poisoner's misconduct, which including stealing body parts and removing gold teeth from cadavers. Both of these cases have contributed to a cultural mythos of oleander as a mysterious and "undetectable" poison, making it a popular choice in murder mystery stories, artistic symbolism, and folklore. <h2>There are medical uses for oleandrin, but dangerous misuse is well-documented</h2>When extracted from the plant, oleandrin has been used in experimental medical therapies, but is still potentially deadly if used incorrectly.Oleandrin has been explored as a possible treatment for cancer, since it seems to have some effect on cancer cells in lab experiments, but there's no evidence in clinical trials that it can safely help treat cancer patients, according to the <a href="https://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/integrative-medicine/herbs/oleandrin">Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center</a>.

She was later declared brain dead, and was taken off life support on Sunday.An investigation was launched by Aurora Police Department's Major Crimes Homicide Unit after Craig's business partner spoke to a nurse about his concerns that Angela Craig had been poisoned.According to the affidavit, his suspicions were raised after word got to him from an office manager that, two days before Angela Craig's hospitalization, she had opened a package for Craig. Inside was a canister that had a biohazard sticker and a potassium cyanide label on it."James was known to make Angela protein shakes regularly," the affidavit said. "It was believed he had provided Angela with the poison through these shakes."Craig allegedly ordered multiple poisons, and investigators said in the affidavit that he had also searched online for how to buy Oleander, a poisonous plant, how much pure arsenic could kill a human, and accessed an article titled: "6 Deadly 'Undetectable' Poisons (and How to Detect Them)."Angela Craig had been hospitalized at least twice before Wednesday, per The Daily Beast, with investigators citing a string of emails to allege that Craig made travel plans for his mistress to visit him which lined up almost exactly with Angela Craig's hospitalizations.The emails were intimate and sexually explicit, and sent from the same email address Craig allegedly used to purchase poisons, according to the affidavit.Craig made his first appearance in court on Monday, and remains in custody without bond.According to the local television news outlet <a href="https://www.9news.com/article/news/crime/aurora-man-accused-poisoning-wife/73-307df0b7-f033-4027-bb07-c706d2415e24" target="_blank" rel="noopener">KUSA, </a> he isn't allowed to contact any of his six children.

The major Trump donor and Minnesota campaign chairman has touted the therapeutic as a cure, though there is still no known cure for the coronavirus. The entrepreneur benefits from sales of the herbal extract because he has a financial stake in Phoenix Biotechnology, the company that develops the product, and is also a board member.Lindell, along with Carson, had nudged the president to get FDA approval of the unproven supplement earlier this year. Scientific experts were alarmed over the push and have <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/20/health/covid-oleandrin-trump-mypillow.html">advised against taking the product</a>. The FDA ultimately blocked Phoenix Biotechnology's bid, citing "significant concerns" about the product's safety, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/04/health/oleandrin-coronavirus-fda-mypillow/index.html">CNN reported.</a>Carson, however, swore by the remedy, and told The Post that his symptoms "disappeared" within hours of taking it."Anybody who has ever gotten Covid and taken it, they are fine in five hours, and the next day are running around playing floor hockey in the hallway," Lindell said, though again, there is no scientific evidence to support the claim.Carson contracted the virus following a White House election night party that <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/org-chart-white-house-coronavirus-trump-inner-circle-2020-11">has been linked to several other confirmed cases</a>, including Trump's chief of staff Mark Meadows, Republican National Committee staffers, White House personnel, and campaign advisers. At the time of publishing, Carson and Lindell had not responded to Insider's requests for comment.

Lindell has a financial stake in the company developing the oleandrin product, Phoenix Biotechnology.Lindell told Axios that Trump "basically said" the US Food and Drug Administration "should be approving" oleandrin.With the help of Lindell, Andrew Whitney, an executive at Phoenix Biotechnology, personally met with the president to discuss the medical effects of oleandrin, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-struggled-summer-coronavirus/2020/08/08/e12ceace-d80a-11ea-aff6-220dd3a14741_story.html">The Washington Post</a> reported earlier this month.In an interview with Axios, Whitney said he stood by his claim that oleandrin "cured" COVID-19 in a span of two days, and he is actively pushing for the botanical extract to make it to shelves — even as a dietary supplement instead of an approved coronavirus treatment to speed up its distribution."Now, there are all sorts of lawyers who would tell me I can't say things like that, because you know you need to have years of studies, and you need to have this, that, and the other, and so forth," Whitney told Axios. "But as an American with a right of free expression, I'm telling you, I've seen it with my own eyes.""There is no public data showing oleandrin has ever been tested in animals or humans for its efficacy against COVID-19," according to the Axios report, "but the extract has shown some evidence of inhibiting the virus in a <a href="https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.07.15.203489v1.full.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">non-peer reviewed laboratory study</a>."Whitney told Axios that the product had been tested on humans for its efficacy in treating COVID-19, but the study has not been released yet.Researchers found that oleandrin could enhance cancer therapies because of the way the botanical extract reacts to cells, Axios reported, but there isn't much public evidence available testing oleandrin's effect on patients infected with COVID-19."Oleandrin looks to have antiviral activity at high doses in a test tube model," the professor Sharon Lewin, the director of the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity at the University of Melbourne, told Axios. "You'd certainly want to see more work done on this before even contemplating a human trial."A senior administration official expressed concern on Carson and Lindell's "involvement" in recommending the product."The involvement of the Secretary of HUD and MyPillow.com in pushing a dubious product at the highest levels should give Americans no comfort at night about their health and safety during a raging pandemic," the official told Axios.Carson, who has expertise in pediatric neurosurgery, serves on the White House coronavirus task force, though his range of knowledge on antiviral drugs is not immediately clear.A representative for Carson told Axios that the HUD secretary "has been directly involved with the Administration's response to this disease from the very beginning.""The Task Force is looking at a plethora of therapeutics to fight COVID-19," the representative continued. "To suggest that Secretary Carson, who is a world-renowned expert in the medical field, shouldn't be involved is not only absurd but unhelpful in our collective fight to eradicate the pandemic."Before oleandrin, Trump has also touted hydroxychloroquine, an antimalarial drug, to treat coronavirus. However, health experts — including the FDA — have advised against using the drug as a treatment. The FDA previously revoked its approval of the drug, citing the "risk of heart rhythm problems" in patients who take the drug to treat COVID-19.<h2><a href="https://www.axios.com/trump-covid-oleandrin-9896f570-6cd8-4919-af3a-65ebad113d41.html?utm_source=newsletter&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=newsletter_axiossneakpeek&amp;stream=topp;stream=top">Read the full story at Axios »</a></h2>
