Strophantin (Strodival)
I first encountered Strophanthus about 25 years ago from my primary teacher,
Otto Wolff, MD. He was passionate about Strophanthus, even having gone so far
as to make
a few treks into the African jungles to observe the habits of this
tremendous creeping vine firsthand. He observed the indigenous native tribesmen
who dipped their arrows
into a slurry made of an extract of the seeds of Strophanthus, which
they used to temporarily paralyze their prey. The Strophanthus seeds were found
to contain an oily substance with a chemical called oubain, which was found to
be a potent cardiac inotrope, even stronger that digitalis.
Initial enthusiasm for strophanthus as a medicine was tempered when it
was claimed that the oubain could not be absorbed into the body through the
oral route. As time went on, much to Dr. Wolff’s disappointment, it was nearly
abandoned as a medicine. Then a few studies were done in association with the
one remaining manufacturer of oubain, the medicine now being called Strodival.
One study of patients with angina showed 81% of patients had complete remission
of their anginal (chest pain) symptoms, as compared to 72% of the control group
who did not take Strodival and their angina worsened (World Research Foundation
report). A second study showed that after MI, the use of Strodival decreased
the evidence of progression of the MI -often within minutes- in 85% of the
subjects, a remarkable result. It was found that, as with digitalis, the heart
uses oubain in its endogenous communication system. It is as if digitalis and
strophanthus contain exact copies of the hormones that the heart uses to
regulate its own beat and elasticity.
Luckily for us, the fears of my dear teacher Otto Wolff may not come to
pass. A number of cardiac clinics and hospitals in Europe have rediscovered the
cardiac tonic effect of strophanthus as well as its swift onset of action.
It is said that a sublingual dose of Strodival will often stop angina
within minutes and can also have a positive effect on developing MIs again
within a very brief period of time.
