Guest guest Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 ESSIAC, ARTHRITIS AND OXALIC ACID http://www.healthfreedom.info/Essiac%20Diabetes%20Detoxification.htm Lanny: " Some people bring up the oxalic acid in sheep sorrel… " Dr. McCain: " I believe that's in the turkey rhubarb as well. The only thing that is contraindicated for is an arthritic-type condition, an acidic condition. Interestingly enough, in my research most people with cancer do not have arthritis and vice versa. That's not a law, but it's pretty common, a general trend. We don't normally recommend the tea for arthritic conditions because we've got so many other things that benefit arthritis much better. And if they do have to take the tea, we recommend that they just add in a calcium supplement, that's all. Because an arthritic condition is an acidic condition and the oxalic acid makes it a little bit acidic. It can aggravate it [Essiac] a little bit, but it's not harmful; it just doesn't cure it. People report that they're a little stiffer, so we supplement calcium and we don't have a problem with the stiffness. It's just the stiffness. They get pain--when they get arthritis they ache. The calcium counterbalances that. That's what an arthritic condition is, is the body is not getting enough calcium and is pulling calcium from the bones. So you have to supplement calcium and then you don't have a problem, unless it's an arthritic condition caused by infection. There's a couple different causes, but most common is lack of calcium.
