The Secret of Essiac Tea : Cancer Fighter??

[Guest guest]

Sure, maybe a lot of people know about Essiac tea, but I myself

specialize in studying obscure and suppressed information about Cancer

cures and anything anomalic (check out www.anomalicresearch.com)

 

Anyways I DID NOT EVEN KNOW ABOUT THIS TEA, and I DID NOT know that it

was used to treat cancer.

 

It is named after Rene Caisse, who gave it away over a period of decades.

 

Do you want the long secret recipe of Essiac Tea, well go read it for

yourself: http://theherbs.info/recipe1.html

 

Do you want to know WHY to take Essiac tea, here is an excerpt from a

book written about her : Glum - Calling of an Angel - the True Story

of Rene Caisse and an Indian Herbal Medicine called Essiac Tea.

 

On October 5, 1983, E. Bruce Hendrick, the chief of neurosurgery at

the University of Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children, wrote to the

Canadian Minister of Health and Welfare saying that Dr. Hendrick

supported a scientific clinical trial of the cancer treatment compound

known as " Essiac. "

 

Dr. Hendrick stated that after they started on Essiac, eight of ten

patients with surgically treated tumors of the central nervous system

had " escaped from the conventional methods of therapy including both

radiation and chemotherapy. "

 

Dr. Hendrick wrote that he was " most impressed with the effectiveness

of the treatment and its lack of side effects. " He closed with this:

" I feel that this method of treatment should be given serious

consideration and would benefit from a scientific clinical trial. "

 

With that letter Dr. Hendrick joined a long list of physicians dating

back more than 60 years who have spoken in favor of Essiac as a cancer

treatment. Yet Essiac today remains unavailable—almost impossible to

get—for nearly all cancer patients. How could something like this happen?

 

INTRODUCTION

This is the story of a woman named Rene Caisse. For more than 50

years, until her death in 1978 at the age of 90, she treated thousands

of cancer patients, most of them written off by doctors as terminally

ill, with her own secret herbal formula. She called it Essiac—Caisse

spelled backwards—and she brewed the tea herself, alone in her

kitchen. Her patients swore by her. They were devoted. Men and women

who believed she cured them of cancer told their friends and families,

wrote letters to doctors and politicians, swore affidavits, testified

before the Canadian parliament and pleaded with Rene Caisse to supply

them with more Essiac when they needed it. Some husbands and wives of

patients who died wrote Rene letters thanking her profoundly for

making life easier—free of pain—and longer for their loved ones. Her

funeral in the village of Bracebridge, about 170 kilometers north of

Toronto, was attended by hundreds of people, including former patients

Rene had treated for terminal cancer as far back as the 1930s and who

were still on their feet to bury her and tell their stories.

 

I'm convinced that Essiac works. It has potent healing—and

preventive—power. It is a gift from nature. I've seen a small part of

the evidence with my own eyes, and I've experienced Essiac's power as

a healthful tonic in my own life. I suffered from chronic bronchitis

until a few years ago when I first heard of Essiac and tried it

myself. Within days my cough disappeared and it hasn't returned. I

still drink the Essiac. It tastes like what it is, an herbal tea.

About as plain and mild as any of the other herbal teas from around

the world you can buy in any supermarket. I've never felt better. All

through Canada and in parts of the United States to day there are

people of all ages who are absolutely convinced that Essiac saved

their lives or the lives of friends and loved ones. But you can't buy

it in any supermarket.

 

Claims have been made—since about 1925, in fact—that Essiac is an

effective treatment for cancer. So the governments of North America

have classified it as a " drug. " The Canadian government almost

legalized its use by Rene in 1939, and has gone through fits and

starts ever since in deciding how to handle the situation. The policy

has ranged from threatening to arrest Rene if she didn't close her

clinic to promising her publicly—on the record, in the press that she

wouldn't be arrested if she would agree to keep her clinic open, thus

quieting the public clamor that arose after the government threatened

to shut her down. In the last decade, the Canadian government has

classified Essiac as an " experimental drug, " and then an " experimental

drug " that had failed to show promise, and today—as Dr. Hendrick's

letter shows—the internal battles are still going on in Canada over

the future of Essiac.

 

In the U.S., a 1978 class action suit in federal court in Detroit

seeking to authorize the importation of Essiac for cancer treatment

was defeated by the government. Other than that, the U.S. government

hasn't faced much pressure about Essiac. There are probably high level

officials in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration—and the National

Cancer Institute—who make life and death decisions about cancer drugs

who could honestly say they've never heard of Essiac. I hope they'll

take the time to read this book.

 

I don't claim that Essiac is a miraculous panacea, capable of curing

all cancers in all people, nor do I believe that. Rene Caisse didn't

even believe that. She didn't claim Essiac as a " cure for cancer. " Her

former patients were the ones who put forward that claim, strenuously

and over many decades. What Rene maintained was that Essiac caused

regression in some cancerous tumors, the total destruction of others,

prolonged life in most cases and—in virtually every case—significantly

diminished the pain and suffering of cancer patients. If the

testimonials of Rene's former patients, including those sworn under

oath, have any credibility at all—and when I present them, I think

you'll agree they do—then Essiac's powers as a pain reliever in cancer

patients are nothing short of phenomenal. In sixty years of personal

accounts, the easing of agony and an increased sense of well-being

often to the point of getting through the day without narcotics—is

one of the predominant themes. You hear it over and over again, and

always told with a deep sense of gratitude.

 

Rene fought almost her whole adult life against overwhelming odds and

under incredible pressures, some of them self imposed, to establish

those simple facts as accepted wisdom. She never gave up her fight.

But for one woman many years ago to persuade the medical and legal

institutions of North America that a natural treatment for

cancer—based on herbs that grow wild—might make more sense than

the accepted means of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy...she might

as well have been telling them in an earlier century that the earth is

round.

 

Remember: Rene was fighting cancer with a natural treatment in an era

when the conventional wisdom of the medical establishment denied even

that diet might be a factor in causing cancer. It's hard to believe,

knowing what we know now—and what has become the conventional

wisdom—but for generations those doctors who preached dietary causes

of cancer were dismissed by most physicians as quacks. So what was the

medical establishment to make of this woman—who wasn't even a licensed

doctor—who preached that a cancer treatment was to be found in plants

that grow wild?

 

My goal in this book is simple: I want to tell the story of this

ordinary woman's extraordinary Life and share the knowledge of Essiac

so that people can make their own informed decisions about what it's

future should be. I don't pretend to have all the answers about how

and why Essiac works, or the final scientific proof that it does.

There are large gaps, as I'll explain, in my own knowledge of this

story. Much of it remains a mystery to me, raising deeply intriguing

questions which I would love to see answered. But I do know that there

is already enough evidence that Essiac has benefited cancer patients

in the last 60 years to warrant those controlled clinical studies that

some physicians—such as Dr. Hendrick—have advocated for decades.

 

The risk to the public would certainly appear to be minimal. There

seems to be universal agreement among the doctors and scientists who

have done investigations of Essiac—and the patients who have used

it—that Essiac is non-toxic and without harmful side effects. Rene

Caisse drank it every day for half a century and some of her family

and close friends always made sure they had their daily cup....

I can purchase Essiac Tea at Sprouts Farmer's Markets in San Diego County, California, USA in several presentations including tea bags and pre-brewed bottled tea. Books can also be purchased with the original formula, the long and short versions, etc. So I don't understand the statement about the government suppressing the information.
