DOES ANYONE KNOW IF ESSIAC TEA REALLY WORKS For Cancer?

Lemongrass Tea
What if you could grow a plant with powerful anti-cancer properties? A natural herbal remedy for cancer may sound too good to be true, but scientists are excited about the cancer fighting chemicals found in lemongrass. Lemongrass (Cymbopopogum Citrates) is a perennial plant native to India and Nepal and recent research at the University of Ben Gurion in Israel has isolated the chemical in

Lemongrass that makes it function as a natural herbal cancer remedy. You read that right, a natural herbal remedy for cancer!

Researchers first discovered that the lemon smell in herbs like Lemongrass had the ability to kill cancer cells in vitro while leaving healthy cells unharmed, according to the website Israel21c.org. The potential for a natural herbal remedy for cancer led scientists to instigate a study to identify the active ingredient in Lemongrass which works as too kill cancerous cells. Research was led by Dr. Rivka Ofir and Professor Yakov Weinstein, of Ben Gurion University, and the compound Citral was indentified as the agent that works as a natural herbal remedy for cancer it was reported by Israel21c.org.

Citral, which gives the lemon aroma to Lemon Verbena and Melissa as well as Lemongrass, functions as a natural herbal remedy for cancer by instigating 'apoptosis' in cancer cells Israel21c.org reports. Apoptosis, or 'cell suicide' is a programmed cell death that does not release any harmful substance into surrounding areas and cells according to the definition at medterms.com. A concentrate of Lemongrass equivalent to drinking one cup of Lemongrass tea was added to both cancerous cells and normal healthy cells, the healthy cells remained healthy while the cancerous cells began to die off, according to the interview of Dr. Ofir by Israel21c.org. This research proves that Lemongrass works as a natural herbal remedy for cancer, and the compound Citral specifically works as a natural herbal remedy for cancer.

There is evidence that it works.

It may have been in Canada that this happened. And it was given to a woman who had breast cancer, by Indians who were her neighbors and who traditionally used it and knew that the combination of, I believe it was, originally 4 herbs cured breast cancer.

She used it as they told her they did, and was cured of the cancer in several weeks.
Later another herb grass was added to it.

I think the woman's name was Caisse, or Casey, and they spelled it backwards for the name of the Essiac tea that is known and used today.

There should be a lot of documentation on it if you do a search on it.


......

I have used lemongrass essential oil. Can this help too?

I have heard of that one-it was called "askasquamie" or something like that...my wife saw it happen from and old woman that knew the recipe

Yes, it does work! I myself am a survivor. But first The Essiac Story:-

Essiac:

Nature's Cure for Cancer


An interview with Dr Gary L. Glum
by Elisabeth Robinson



Introduction


Rene Caisse was a nurse living in Canada, who, for a period of almost sixty years treated hundreds of people with a herbal remedy she called Essiac. She discovered this remedy through a patient in the hospital where she worked who had been cured of cancer. The patient had used a herbal remedy given her by an Ojibway herbalist.

Rene left the hospital in 1922 at age 33, and went to Bracebridge, Ontario, Canada, where she began administering Essiac to all who came to her. The majority of those whom she treated came on referral with letters from their physicians certifying they had incurable or terminal forms of cancer and that they had been given up on by the medical profession as untreatable.
Rene began gathering the plants and preparing the herbal remedy herself in her own kitchen, in a building lent her for her patients. She administered Essiac both orally and by injection. In cases where there was severe damage to life support organs. her patients died - but they lived far longer than the medical profession had predicted, and, significantly, they lived free of pain. Still others, listed as hopeless and terminal, but without severe damage to life support organs, were cured and lived 35 to 45 years (many are still living).

So startling was the effectiveness of this simple herbal remedy, it could not be ignored, and the Canadian Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Parliament became involved. Friends, former patients, and grateful families petitioned Canadian officialdom for Rene Caisse's right to administer the remedy to anyone who asked for it without the threat of interference from authorities. Fifty-five thousand signatures were collected on the petition. In 1938, Essiac came within three votes of being legalized by the Ontario government as a remedy for terminal cancer patients.





Elisabeth Robinson: To begin with, Dr Glum, can you tell us a little about how you became interested in the story you tell in “Calling of an Angel”, and how you learned about Rene Caisse and her work?

Dr Gary Glum: A personal friend of mine knew this woman whose name I have promised not to reveal, who was living in Detroit, Michigan. Twenty years ago she had been diagnosed with cervical cancer in a Detroit hospital where she was eventually given up as incurable and terminal. She was given about ten days to live.

She convinced her husband to make a trip to Bracebridge, Canada where she went to see Rene Caisse. She was treated with the herbal remedy developed by Rene - Essiac - and in a short time she didn't have a cancer cell in her body. So after that time this woman began dedicating her life to disseminating information about Essiac in the United States. When I met her, she was the only person in possession of the original herbal formula who would relinquish it. I got her formula for Essiac from her.
That's how it began. When I started, all I had was a piece of paper. I thought, what am I going to do with this? I decided the best way to go would be to find the information behind Essiac and put it in book form and bring it to the world.
I learned about Rene Caisse from Mary McPherson who was a very close personal friend of Rene’s ... not only a friend but also a patient. Mary's mother and her husband were also patients. They were all treated for cancer and cured by Rene.
Mary worked with Rene beginning in the 1930's and she had in her possession all these documents that had to do with Essiac over the 40 years Rene administered it. All the documents Rene had were destroyed by the Canadian Ministry of Health & Welfare at the time of her death in 1978. They burned all that information in fifty-five gallon drums behind her home.

ER: Why?

GG: Because they don't want this information in the hands of the public or the press or anybody else. They indeed found out what Essiac was in 1937. The Royal Cancer Commission hearings had then come to the same conclusion that Rene had - that Essiac was a cure for cancer.

ER: What is Essiac exactly?

GG: Essiac is a non-toxic herbal cure for cancer that's been with us since 1922. It's a formula made from four very common herbs.

ER: I would guess that virtually every person in the U.S. today has been touched by cancer, either personally or through a loved one. If this information is true, and the effectiveness of this remedy
is actually medically documented, many lives could be saved. Why do you think the information on Essiac is not more widely known?

CG: The information is withheld because cancer is the second largest revenue producing business in the world, next to the petro-chemical business. Money and power suppress this truth.
No one has ever sought to cure cancer - only to control it. I mean the research institutes, federal governments, pharmaceutical companies, anybody that has a vested interest in the health care of cancer, including the American Cancer Society, the Canadian Cancer Society, any of these so-called benefactors to those who have contracted this disease - all of these institutions are involved in the money and power around cancer.
These institutions have influence over government and regulatory agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration. The FDA recommends only allopathic treatments for cancer and other life threatening diseases. It does not approve nor make legal alternative treatments of any kind.

ER: You're saying that Essiac is in a position similar to, for example, Laetrile.

GG: Yes, the only reason laetrile was stopped - and it couldn't be stopped any other way - was through the insurance companies. The insurance companies sent down a directive to all allopathic physicians stating that they could not cover them in any malpractice suit in the event they were treating people with any substance not approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

ER: In your book you mention that the Brusch Clinic in Massachusetts worked with Ren~ Caisse and with Essiac, during the early 1960's. Is this clinic still doing research with Essiac?

GG: Dr Charles A. Brusch is not practising at this time. He was a personal physician to the late President John F. Kennedy. Dr Brusch worked with Ren~ Caisse from 1959 to 1962. He worked with thousands of cancer patients. He also worked with the Presidential Cancer Commission, with others like Dr Armand Hammer, the American Cancer Society, and the National Cancer Institute.
Dr Brusch presented his findings after ten years of research. He had come to the conclusion that, in his own words, "Essiac is a cure for cancer, period. All studies done at laboratories in the United States and Canada suppori this conclusion."
Whereupon the federal government issued a gag order and said "You've got one of two choices, either you keep quiet about this or we'll haul you off to military prison and you'll never be heard of again." So we never heard another word out of him.
Brusch's Essiac patients included Ted Kennedy's son who had a



sarcoma on his leg, and who had his leg amputated. He was being treated at that time by the Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, Massachusetts. Dr Farber didn't know how to save him, because no one had ever lived with this type of sarcoma. So what he did was go to Dr Brusch and say, how are we going to save Ted Kennedy's son. And Dr Brusch made the suggestion to put him on Essiac, and after they did, he didn't have a cancer cell in his body. But all this information has been hidden from the general public.

ER: Why?

GG: As I said, money and power.

ER: Do you know whether the remedy is being used or tested anywhere today in the U.S. or Canada?

GG: Right now, Essiac is being used in every state in the United States, it's throughout Canada, into Mexico, it's in Australia, Europe, Asia, and recently, also in Africa. So the message of Essiac is beginntng to make its way worldwide. But it's still known only on a very limited basis.
Of course now you also have the problem of herbal distributing companies throughout the world that are substituting yellow dock and curly dock for sheep's sorrel, which is one of the critical ingredients in Essiac.
The sheep's sorrel is the herbal ingredient in Essiac that was found to be responsible for the destruction of cancer cells in the body, or their amalgamation where metastasized cancer cells actually return to the original tumor site.
That research was done by Dr Chester Stock at Sloan-Kettering in New York for over a three-year period. But when they gathered that information, they withheld it from the general public - yet they gave it to the Canadian Ministry of Health Welfare. The Canadian government then immediately banned that herb for sale and distribution.

ER: Banned a common weed like sheep's sorrel?

GG: Yes, sheep's sorrel is just a common weed that grows in abundance throughout North America and into Canada just a common weed.

ER: Well, it seems that banning sheep's sorrel would not be very effective if you could identify it for yourself.

GG: Yes, it's just a question of identifying the plant and then harvesting it correctly and drying it properly and then putting it together with the other herbs.
Rene would harvest the Sheep's Sorrel - Rumex acetosella -when it was four to six inches high. She cut it back and it would grow up again, and she'd cut it back again. She would do that about three times
and then she would let it go to seed. It will grow to 14 or 18 inches.
She would take the herb cuttings home and lay them out at room temperature to dry them. She'd let the cuttings sit there for three or four days before she'd begin turning the herbs. Then she'd turn them every two days until they were properly dry, which took about ten days to two weeks. It takes about a bushel of harvested sheep's sorrel to produce one pound of the dried powdered herb which is used in the formula.

ER: Do you have the formula? It's not in your book. You do mention a video in the book.

GG: Yes, I have it. Anyone can get it from me, free of charge. We don't sell the video anymore. We simply mail the formula to anyone who asks for it.

ER: Sun Bear told me you had problems getting the book published and distributed. What kind of problems?

GG: There wasn't a publishing company that would publish it. No one wanted to run the risk of a wrongful death suit. So I published the book myself. And as soon as I did, the IRS came in and slapped about a half million dollars in tax liens against me and said "You know this has got nothing to do with taxes. It's all about cancer."
They actually started hauling the pallets of books out of my medical practice offices and confiscating them. I also had thousands of books that were confiscated by the Canadian government at customs. I have never received any of those books back. The only ones I have now are hidden in storage facilities.

ER: That's incredible - why do you think they are so interested in keeping this book out of circulation?

GG: Money and power, as I've said. Cancer is the largest revenue producing business in the world, next to the petrochemical business. In Canada the book is being held up by the Ministry of Health & Welfare because they say it is “advertising”.

ER: Advertising what, the video you don't sell anymore?

GG: No, a cure for cancer.

ER: Can you explain what you mean by the publishers fearing a wrongful death suit?

GG: What you're dealing with is giving people a formula that they can make and use in the privacy of their own home without the approval of the AMA or the FDA or anybody else. If any attorney or any family member should decide, for whatever reason, that the reason someone expired was from the use of Essiac, then you are putting yourself up for a wrongful death suit. The contention is that if it isn't approved by the FDA, there's no legality in using it when you're dealing with a life threatening
disease.
When Rene Caisse set up her clinical trials in Canada to test Essiac, she was given government permission to treat terminally ill cancer patients who had been given up for hopeless by the medical profession. That was one criteria. Secondly, this was all to be certified by a pathology report. And third, she could not charge anything for her services. She agreed to all these criteria and proceeded to treat people with Essiac. Many she treated were still there 35 years later to bury her when she died at age 90.
The best that anyone can do is just try to disseminate this information to the public and let people make their own choices. That's all you can do. And just say, look, if you feel Essiac has value in your life and the lives of your loved ones, you have the right to make this remedy and use it in the privacy of your own home and without anyone's approval.
You know, in 1937 Essiac came within three votes of being legalized as a treatment for cancer. People had gathered over 55,000 signatures on a petition to allow Rene to continue to use Essiac. The only reason the vote fell short, she found out later, was that the College of Physicians and Surgeons met and said to Parliament, if you don't respond to the political pressure and legalise Essiac, then we'll take a sincere look and give this woman a fair hearing. So, Parliament didn't legalize Essiac.
So following the Royal Cancer Commission hearings, Rene was allowed to continue her practice but only within the criteria I mentioned before, which allowed the Ministry of Health & Welfare to restrict people's access to Essiac treatments.
I know this because I have a copy of the hearing transcripts which I got from Mary McPherson which is some of the information that did not get burned when Rene died.

ER: You mentioned that earlier. What exactly was burned?

GG: All her research for that 40 year period of time. All the names, all her clinical data that she had collected. Her files and records.

ER: What about the records of the Brusch Clinic? It seems these would be convincing evidence.

GG: As far as I know all that material has been destroyed also. I knew that Rene had worked with Dr Brusch from 1959 to 1962, so I went to Dr Brusch's home in Cambridge, Massachusetts, whereupon he delivered to me the only material he had left in his files on Essiac. One of those files was his own personal file where he had treated and cured his own cancer with Essiac. I have his personal records.
All the information in my book is verified by a sheet of paper with



a signature and a date on it and those sheets and signatures are all originals. They are not copies.

ER: Have you had any personal experiences with Essiac?

GG: Yes, I can give you an example. He was a twelve year old boy named Toby Wood. He had acute lymphoblastic leukemia, which is one of the most virulent of all leukemia’s. He had been on chemotherapy for four years and radiation for three. His mother's only hope in life was to find a cure for him. She went everywhere. She tried every alternative treatment.
Her last stop was Dr Alvazados in Athens, Greece, where her son's white cell count was 186,000. He had no red blood cells and no platelets. He was hemorrhaging to death. So they transfused Toby in Greece, and put him on a plane to Alaska where he was given less than five days to live.
I met his mother's sister in Los Angeles while I was putting the book together and she asked if there was any credibility here. We sat down and talked. She then borrowed the money for a flight to Anchorage, and delivered a bottle of Essiac. By the time she got there, Toby was given three days to live. He was in a state of complete deterioration. He was given the Essiac and all the hemorrhaging stopped within 24 hours. Within three months all his blood tests were normal. I arrived in Alaska later that year and met him.
Toby Wood did die, and we finally found a pathologist who would do an exhaustive autopsy. We knew that he didn't have leukemia any more. We wanted to find out what was the cause of death. It took four months to get the report back. The pathologist autopsied the brain, testicles, and all life support organs, including the bone marrow. Cause of death was damage to the myocardial sac of the heart, a result of the chemotherapy.
This was the first report anywhere in medical history of anyone surviving lymphoblastic leukemia. That information was taken to AP, and UPI but they said it was not newsworthy.
Our information on Essiac has been sent around the world twice through Publisher's Weekly magazine in a huge two-page ad. We received no responses at all from any publishing company worldwide, no producers, directors, throughout the United States, no talk show programs, none of that. We can't access the media. No one wants this information disseminated. And it's not just the media, either. It includes the herbal companies who are now substituting the curly dock for sheep's sorrel. So people are getting the wrong ingredients for Essiac, not to mention the five or six other formulas that are circulating which are different from the one I send out. These false formulas are being disseminated. There is a disinformation campaign going on here, somehow.

ER: Has this disinformation campaign started just since your book



has been out?

GG: Previous to my book, none of this information was available to the general public at all. The public had no information outside of a few assorted articles. Certainly the Essiac formula was not available to the general public at all. All that information was held by the Resperin Corporation in Toronto, Canada, which supposedly is a private institution.
However, they work hand in glove with the Canadian Ministry of
Health & Welfare, who works directly with the American Food and Drug
Administration and the National Cancer Institute in Bethseda Maryland.
The Essiac formula was never given to anyone by Resperin.

ER: Did the Resperin Corporation do any research on Essiac?

GG: They've done research since 1978 when the formula was relinquished to them by Rene for the purchase price of one dollar. As soon as they got the formula, they told Rene they had no further use for her. She had been under the distinct impression from the Ministry of Health & Welfare and the Resperin Corporation that she was to lead the research activities that they so desperately wanted to put together.
But Rene had already done clinical trials. She had names and records. She thought the Resperin Corporation was politically powerful and had money enough to get Essiac into the public sector without compromising her values. Then she found out the Corporation was working closely with the government and administration and the Ministry of Health & Welfare.
So now people who were terminally ill and given up as hopeless had to go through a federal bureaucratic maze to get the remedy. By then, for most of these people, it was too late. But even when people were cured, that information was not released to the public.
Resperin ran research tests on Essiac. One was conducted in Northern Canada and the documents were falsified. For example, one man was listed as dead who a few months later knocked on Rene’s door and said, you know I want to thank you for the Essiac and being part of this experimental program. Yet he was listed as dead in the research project findings.

ER: It's beginning to seem amazing to me that any information at all about this remedy has survived the "conspiracy of silence" or outright destruction of records and so on.

GG: The only reason Essiac is known today is by word of mouth and because Essiac is what it is.
What will keep Essiac known is its effectiveness Rene said it years ago. She said, look, if Essiac doesn't have any merit let me put it out there. If it doesn't have merit it will kill itself. Of course she knew full



well if people had the correct herbs, the remedy would stand on its own. And that is exactly what Essiac has done over this period of time that we've been disseminating the information.
Rene also found that Essiac was a strong preventive. These findings were substantiated by Dr Albert Schatz at Temple University who discovered the cure for tuberculosis.
Rene also found that Essiac would normalize the thyroid gland. My wife was on two grains of thyroid since the sixth grade. After I met her, she started taking Essiac, and she hasn't taken a grain of thyroid since..
Rene also found that Essiac would heal stomach ulcers within three or four weeks. She felt that ulcers were a precursor to cancer. Sir Frederick Banting, the codiscoverer of insulin, wanted to work with Rene. She had clinical cases where a person on insulin discontinued it with the Essiac, since no one knew how Essiac would interact with the insulin. Apparently Essiac regulated the pancreas in cases of diabetes mellitus. So these people became insulin-free.
Another thing I've found with Essiac is that I've experienced almost perfect health. It's amazing. I sleep like a baby, have all kinds of energy, and no sickness, not even a cold or flu.
I also worked with the AIDS Project Los Angeles through their Long Beach and San Pedro districts. They had sent 179 patients home to die. They all had pneumocystis carinii and histoplasmosis. Their weight was down to about 100 pounds. Their T4 cell counts were less than ten. The Project gave me five of these patients. I took them off the AZT and the DDI and put them on Essiac three times a day. Those are the only ones alive today. The other 174 are dead!

ER: That is incredible - but what kind of lives are they leading today?

GG: They're exercising three times a day, eating three meals a day. Their weight is back to normal. For all intents and purposes you wouldn't know they were sick a day in their lives. But this information is not being disseminated either, because AIDS is on the horizon as another big moneymaker. The chairman of the AIDS project in Los Angeles makes of US$100,000 a year.

ER: So, in your own personal experience, this herbal remedy work to - I'm going to quote you here and say "cure" - cancer, thyroid conditions, diabetes, AIDS, ulcers

GG: It also cures the common cold. Essiac elevates the immune system. I've been taking one ounce a day for seven years and in seven years I haven't had a cold, flu or a virus.

ER: And all of this from a simple Native herbal remedy?

GG: Yes, although Rene did alter it. She altered it with Turkish rhubarb root (Rheum palmatum). Turkish rhubarb has a 5,000 year history. It actually came up from India into China and then was taken by the British.

ER: Turkish rhubarb root certainly is not native to this country nor available here. Herbs from foreign countries are fumigated and irradiated, so is it a good idea to use the Turkish rhubarb?

GG: You can substitute ordinary rhubarb root. The other two ingredients are burdock root (Arctium lappa) and the inner bark of slippery elm (Ulmus fulva). They are more easy to obtain usually than Sheep's sorrel, Rumex acetosella, is what destroys the cancer cells. The other three herbs are blood purifiers.
Essiac elevates the enzyme system and gives all cancer patients and all AIDS patients the enzymes that have been destroyed. Essiac elevates the enzyme system; it elevates the hormone system, which elevates the immune system, so the body can cure its own disease.

ER: What about quantities? Some herbs are toxic.

GG: Even its worst enemy could never lay claim that Essiac had any deleterious side effects whatever. You can take Essiac safely, through all the clinical trials that have been done, up to six ounces a day. That's two ounces in the evening, two in the morning and two around noontime. That's a high dosage. Rene had the correct herbs and she used as little as one ounce a week.

ER: Gary, it's been very interesting to speak to you.

GG: It's been a pleasure, you're opening a Pandora's Box, you know, publishing this interview.

ER: I think you're the one who's done that. Would you tell people how to get your book and the information on Essiac?

GG: They simply call me in California on (310)271-9931. The book is US$35.00. The formula is free.

In July 1991, the Canadian Journal for Herbalism published an article, "Old Ontario Remedies", about Essiac. The article gives specific information on the ingredients of Essiac and includes descriptions of the herbs. Sheep's sorrel, for example, is a folk remedy for tumors.
The article also warns of high oxalic acid content in two of the herbs, making the remedy unsafe for persons with kidney ailments or arthritic conditions.
The article concludes: "Essiac is not a hoax or a fraud. To hear experiences described by the patients themselves cannot help but convince observers that dramatic and beneficial changes definitely took place in
many but not all of those who received the remedy. Although the focus on Essiac has been as a cancer treatment, it alleviated and sometimes cured many chronic and degenerative conditions because it cleanses the blood as well as the liver and strengthens the immune system.

I have a aunt in europe (bosnia) who has cancer, but i never got the details... she has had it for the past 5 years now...but i hear she drinks essiac tea...in fact my mom was told by her to get it herself...


so i think its good to try

Graviola works also, only 25 bucks a pound.

Essiac, three instances I know were successful treatments from first hand involvement.

Around 1995 or 1996, a good friend I used to employ in my business came to me and told me that the previous week he had been given a diagnosis of bowel cancer with a poor prognosis of survival. He told me he was very depressed and felt like rowing his boat out to sea and going overboard. Apparently he had visited his general practitioner doctor thinking he was having a recurrence of bleeding piles. His doctor sent him directly to Auckland oncology for investigation, subsequent to which he was told he had a large tumour in his bowel which needed removing very soon and that even with removal the prognosis for continued life expectancy was not very bright. He was scheduled to be operated on in six weeks time. A week had passed when he told me. All I could do was commiserate with him not knowing much about cancer at all at that time.
The following day took me to visit my mother and brother in Hamilton about a hundred and twenty kilometres from home in Auckland. My brother was most interested in the works of Nicola Tesla and had just purchased a book containing a chapter or so on his inventions and free energy etc. Flicking through the pages I discovered a whole section on suppressed cancer invention and remedies which I read immediately. I determined that the only likely remedy of immediate practical assistance to my friend was Essiac and only then if I could track down the herbs in Auckland on my return. Here are the name and details of the book:

The following day I made inquiries around the health stores and found to my delight that the exact recipe had been encapsulated by an American herbal company Nature’s Sunshine Products and marketed as E-Tea. (“E” for Essiac) The short product sheet is shown here:

E-Tea is the modern day version of an herbal combination used by Native American Indians as a nutritional supplement for the immune system


The traditional preparation method of this supplement requires a 10 hour brewing and steeping process This is followed by straining the liquid from the sediment and then refrigerating the liquid to prevent mould from forming. NSPs precise preparation gives you a finished product that has been carefully dried, powdered, and encapsulated for maximum customer convenience with no need for refrigeration. That means you get the same healthful results without the chance of having nutrients depleted during processing. It means that all you have to do is either take the capsules with a glass of water, or pour the capsule contents into hot water to reconstitute the tea, 2 capsules of E-Tea are equivalent to 56.6 gms of traditionally brewed Essiac E-Tea. To drink as a tea, empty the contents of 2 capsules into 113.2 mls of hot water. 6 capsules of E-Tea is the recommended daily serving.

Essiac E-Tea has been a popular concoction for more than a century. Originally from a Native American living in Canada, it has gradually become famous throughout North America ever since Rene Caisse (Essiac backwards) decided to share the recipe with the world.

I purchased 100 capsules for about NZ$25.00 and had my friend take 12 capsules a day (four x 3 times daily) starting immediately. I also purchased a copy of the book and lent it to him so he understood why I wanted him to try it out. By the third day he had stopped bleeding from the bowel. By the tenth day he recommenced to gain weight again after having lost the bulk of his body mass to become a “skin and bone” type figure. He remained on this regime rapidly feeling better and a week before his scheduled operation returned to Auckland oncology to attend for a pre-operation examination by the surgeon. He returned home to tell me that they said they could no longer find his tumour and that they must have made a “mistake” with the diagnosis. A nurse present there said to him privately “that whatever it was he was doing – to keep doing it.” A miracle? Perhaps, but I know the Essiac worked for him. My friend, to help himself, had also voluntarily stopped eating red meat during his treatment which he continued for about three months at the 12 a day level, reducing it to 8 a day for several more months, further reducing to four a day for about another year. It is now late November 2009 some 13 years on and he is alive and well, eating and drinking and smoking.

In December 1999 another chap of my acquaintance suddenly developed a brain cancer. At Auckland oncology they trepanned his skull to ease the pressure on his brain and admitted him to a hospice to die within days. His brain was swollen and some was outside of his skull when I was asked if Essiac might give him some relief. He was unable to talk, or walk, and was completely bedridden at this time. His brother and sister started giving him the Essiac capsules again 12 a day. In just a few days the swelling of the brain subsided and was again contained within his skull. A week later he was able to talk again, and a few days more he was up and about walking normally. He was discharged from the hospice. Once home his wife discontinued administering the Essiac and took him on a tour of other supposed remedies and treatments. The result of this was that he began to weaken again and regrettably passed away. But I know that the Essiac seemed to do the impossible whilst he was on it.

Eight years ago in 2001, I myself was diagnosed with prostate cancer, and the surgeon at Auckland oncology strongly recommended either radiation therapy (a form of burning the affected tissue) or surgical removal of the prostate. He wanted to know within minutes of telling me the diagnosis “which procedure I would prefer to undergo!” I told him I would take my own good time to consider my options. I discovered that the surgery option would leave me impotent, and that most likely I would pass some urine every time I coughed. This did not sound like quality of life to me and I certainly did not want the radiation option either. I told him I would try the alternative remedies first before I would consider his options. Having seen and heard of many other remarkable recoveries, as I had distributed hundreds of copies of the article above to anyone who mentioned they or a relative had a cancer, I felt I could be confident It would work for me, and it did! Currently I have a PSA score of 8.4 which is miniscule. Essiac is a cheap and effective remedy for many who use it. Like every remedy, it may not work for all who try it, but when your back is to the wall…….???

I don't think I mentioned that I am 61 ad Essiac is my line of defence for flu as well as it has anti-viral properties. I had the flu shot for three years and they left me with continual sniffles for four months after the shot. I no longer have them. At the first hint of a tickle in the throat I gargle with hydrogen peroxide at 1.5 per cent strength. This works really well! Hydrogen peroxide is H2O2, ie water with one extra atom of oxygen, oxygenation, that is why it works.
The other thing I missed telling you regarding the book Suppressed Inventions was that the information on Essiac is only in the original edition, subsequent editions had already suppressed the information. Another source of alternative cancer remedies is Nexus magazine: www.nexusmagazine.com

MMS works too, so does colloidal silver, pick one. They are both quite affordable.

Essiac tea has antivirals in it. Cancer is a virus.

Add Tumeric, which is an anti retrviral some cancers are retrovirals.

A year's worth of doxycycline.

NO TRANS FAT.

How long did curing your cancer take you with Essiac

did you use vegicap's or liquid? How much essiac did you use? how long were you using Essiac.
I have Lung cancer in right lung, will Essiac Vegicaps cure it?

I have ten containers of the extract-
yes it worked for my mom's employer's husband, who recommended it to my sister when she was diagnosed, and they both sailed through chemo and had no recurrence ( over five years).
they both got juicers and drank broccoli juice and wheatgrass juice and my sis was never on Tamoxifen.

they are both cancer free now.

Hope this info helps you to investigate further.

The nurse in Nothern Ontario, back in the 1920's reportedly found the herbs from Ojibwa Indians and gave it to her cancer patients. There were hundreds of documented testimonials which claimed the tea cured their cancers. The nurses name was Rene Caisse. The tea she named Essiac (Caisse spelled backwards). The medical community pooh-poohed the tea and the reports the way any medical doctor who look upon Santeria or Voodoo. Pity. What's the truth?
Does anyone know? Can anyone prove the tea actually works as advertised?



There is evidence that it works.

It may have been in Canada that this happened. And it was given to a woman who had breast cancer, by Indians who were her neighbors and who traditionally used it and knew that the combination of, I believe it was, originally 4 herbs cured breast cancer.

She used it as they told her they did, and was cured of the cancer in several weeks.
Later another herb grass was added to it.

I think the woman's name was Caisse, or Casey, and they spelled it backwards for the name of the Essiac tea that is known and used today.

There should be a lot of documentation on it if you do a search on it.

It works!

Essiac does help cancer patients and sometimes cures it. However, www.essiacinc.com is a disinformation site. They would like to think they have some kind of a monopoly on it but they do not.

The Essiac formula and recipe was published for all people to use freely in 1994: www.healthfreedom.info/Essiac%20formula.htm

In 1994 Rene Caisse's best friend, Mary McPherson recorded an affidavit detailing the Essiac formula in the Town of Bracebridge, Ontario. Here is the legal proof that the Essiac formula has been entered into the public domain: www.healthfreedom.info/McPherson%20Affidavit.htm

One of my friends, who is into natural remedies, told me the same thing around the time I was diagnosed with a borderline ovarian cancer. I never had to take the stuff as my prognosis is excellent. Never needed radiation or chemo.

The tumor, however, was large enough that I had to have a complete hysterectomy.

If faced with the same situation again, and the prognosis was worse, I've give this stuff a try. I understand it can be ordered online from what my friend told me.

It may or may not, but I know what absolutely does work for cancer!

Your links don't follow

good info here. I would also add that recent research shows that the main component in marijuana / THC / cannabinoids also destroys cancer cells. Hemp oil is recommended for skin cancer treatment. Check it out for yourself, there is tons of information and medical studies

Two years have gone by since I posted on this thread and I am still fine, my friend with the bowel cancer is still alive as well. What more can I say! What you do to heal yourself is up to you! I am a spiritual healing channel as well, this can only help me, and others, to heal.

Here's another testimonial for Essiac tea:

"My Husband is 65 years old...He we was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer on Jan. 08. There is a story here and I could write a novel, but think it more beneficial to just stick to a summary of what happened and what we did to get past the horrors of cancer.
He had a surgery and 1/4-1/2 of his right lung was removed...They had to break several ribs to do this...a sample was sent to pathology and the report came back to us telling us it was indeed cancer....He was scheduled for chemo and after 6 mo. of insidious treatment was pretty much a vegetable...I have studied alternative health for 30 years so you can imagine the trauma it was to watch and be a part of something so insidious...3 weeks after the last chemo treatment, still another PET scan showed he had 5-6 new tumors in his the same lung...devastation was overwhelming...They told him all they could offer him was more chemo, but he was in such a frightening state of negative health by then he said no..(actually he said Hell no)...They told him to get his affairs in order and sent him home to die...When all of this started I was too horrified and busy to do any research other than what I had previously known...When it comes to "helping" someone in this field I have found not many are receptive to "Natural health care or cures" ...Anyway I read of a 4 herb tea that had what I thought was a really good record...I bought a pound of essiac and started my Husband on it 2 oz twice a day...we went from eating any and all kids of animal protein to a completely "plant based diet" without exception"....I cannot remember for sure the month (maybe may 09 ) that I called Debbie with tears of joy to tell her My Husband's results from a recent test "there is no detectable cancer" in his body...since then he has had other examinations that agreed with these findings...Today he is a healthy, Happy man of many interests and pursues them all with amazing strength and focus...He is very much alive and it has been just a little over a year since they found the new tumors, and deemed him terminal... Needless to say my gratitude for this site and the people involved in making the "Real stuff" available to all of us in dire need is great...I constantly seek new ways to Pay it Forward."...Lynda from Oregon [Last name deleted to protect privacy]

Quote from [link to healthfreedom.info]

I am witness to the positive effects of Essiac and graviola; I ws dx w Stage IV uterine cancer that had spread to lymph nodes, bowel and bladder so severely that surgery was deemed impossible. I had begun taking Graviola and drinking Essiac tea in a high dose 3oz 3-4 x a day; I took graviola for 2 weeks.

I was also doing guided imagery which you can obtain free on an internet search. I also had some chemo and 4 1/2 weeks radiation in hopes of shrinking my 15 cm tumor as a palliative treatment.

The shrinkage of my tumor after 2 weeks of radiation was so profound another CT scan was performed and my GYN Oncologist surgeon told me he hoped for a curative surgery vs a palliative surgery that he had hoped for in the beginning prior to MRI results were in.

Well I had extensive radical surgery 6 weeks after completing the radiation and chemo; still taking Essiac in high doses 3 x day 3 ounces. When my pathology report was in they found no evidence of cancer in any of the tissue removed only normal cells and attenuated or dead cells; not just the margins but the entirety of removed organs; lymph nodes; and tisssue.

I did have 3 rounds of preventive chemo; just in case but 2 yrs later I am still cancer free and feeling about 95%. The doctors were amazed and told me they had been treating cancer patients for over 20 years and had never once seen these results and I was treated at one of the top oncology centers in the US.

I sell Essiac tea, and I talk to people on the phone about their use of it and etc. Every week, once a week at least, I hear from someone whom Essiac tea has helped: tumors gone, immune system restored, back to work, off their pain meds, living for months or years past what the doctors predicted, and so on and so on. EVERY WEEK, at least once a week for YEARS these people have good news for me about my product.
These people are only a small percentage of the thousands of customers I have had, but so far only 1 person has ever called me to complain about the product: after only one week of drinking the tea it didn't seem to be working as fast as she would like.
ESSIAC TEA CAN CERTAINLY CURE CANCER!
BUT: drink clean water and lots of it, lighten your diet (less carbs and protein, more fiber and vitamin/minerals), lay off of antiperspirants, take hot showers/baths/saunas anything to help you sweat, keep away from 24 hour a day exposure to wireless networks and cell phones right next to you, drink fresh vegetable and fruit juices, eat pesticide-free foods where you can, lower your consumption of caffeine and alcohol, rest and exercise in moderation and be sure to maintain a proactive (if not totally positive) attitude. As much of this all as you can do will increase your chances of regaining your health.
Chemotherapy and radiation treatments, on the other hand, only occasionally eliminate cancer, and they frequently kill you.

In answer to you question about Essiac Tea, the truth is Essiac Tea doesn't cure cancer it aids the body to be able to fight Cancer. It is not a miracle but it can set the stage for miracles to happen. I have had surgery, radiation treatment and been actively drinking 3 cups a day in tea form. I swear it does something because when you stop taking it the body struggles to cope. Back on the tea and within a day or two your on track again. I walked out of major surgery after 3 days and my body's healing was amazing, I also noticed I rarely got colds, my appetite was excellent. I used to get lots of pain in my body it reduced the pain also. Currently I am not able to get Essiac Tea in Australia. It was banned in 1995 and for some ridiculous reason it was identified as a drug. I cannot get access to any Essiac Tea suppliers it's been illegal to import the Tea. I will have to obtain the Herbs individually now: Sheep Sorrel, Burdock Root, Slippery Elm, Turkish Rhubarb to grind and mix them together myself with no idea the correct mix but that is my lot at the moment. Shaman Herbs Australia used to be my supplier.

Yes Essiac worked for me and I am now clear of breast cancer which was cured under very difficult circumstances. I needed eye surgery whilst I was treating my cancer which was done in stages. Cancer loves stress. Well it got its daily fix.
Originally I took the Essiac tea and it reduced the tumor from 4cm to 1cm. The eye surgery was complicated, done in stages and I was under a great deal of stress. The tumor grew again. Then I was told about Essiac capsules and these immediately started reducing the tumor again. Stepping up the regime to 8 a day did the trick.
The hospital can find no signs of the tumor and I have been declared cancer free.
A plus. I'm in my 70s and my hair had gone silver grey. While taking the Essiac my natural brown grew back. I felt well and strong whilst on the regime. Aquarobics in deep water twice a week and Yoga once a week. Now add my grandaughter's swimming lessons on top of my normal fitness routine and I am fighting fit.
One word of warning. It is recommended the Essiac be only taken for two years. It is also important to have a week off the capsules every month.

Dont know about cancer, but the first time I tried it I pissed the bed :(

Any doggie success stories out there?
