Health Benefits of Essiac Tea

Essiac (es-ee-ak) is a herbal recipe discovered more than seventy years ago with amazing health benefits. Essiac is Caisse backwards – it was named from the surname of the Canadian nurse who devoted her life to testing the formula and bringing it to the attention of patients and their doctors.

Ms. Rene Caisse received it from a middle-aged female patient who had obtained it from an Ojibwa Indian Medicine Man – a tribe from Ontario. The Medicine Man offered his help to the patient because he knew the woman was suffering from breast cancer. The patient regained her health, recovered from her cancer and it did not reoccur over the next thirty years.

Ms Caisse used the same recipe on her aunt, who was terminally ill with stomach and liver cancer. Her aunt lived another 21 years, eventually dying of old age. Impressed by these successes, Ms. Caisse began to offer the formula to anyone who contacted her.

Eventually word of her treatment convinced Dr. Charles Brusch (formerly the physician to the late John F. Kennedy) of the enormous health benefits of essiac and the two eventually became research partners. Over the years, many other people with various kinds of illnesses and ailments have told others about the remarkable benefits from the Essiac recipe.

Essiac has the ability to stimulate, fortify and intensify the body's natural immune system. This enables it to eradicate disease, including cancer cells and cancerous tissue; without harming, damaging or destroying healthy cells and tissue. It also has the ability to nourish healthy cells.

Taken in the prescribed quantities it is non-toxic, harmless and completely drug-free; it acts as a tonic and has a very beneficial and healthy effect on the body.

Altogether these herbs create a Synergy - that is, they work far better together health-wise than each one taken on its own. It can be taken by patients undergoing orthodox cancer therapies, but it appears to be more successful and effective when taken without these therapies being administered.

Although there is no clinical evidence to support the effectiveness of Essiac on cancer and other diseases, there are a lot of case histories in the public domain that support it. Rene Caisse herself claimed an 80% success rate with her patients. It is also believed to be beneficial to those suffering from other diseases and ailments such as:

AIDS, Allergies, Arthritis, Alzheimer's, Asthma, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Circulatory problems, Diabetes, Fibroids, Hemorrhoids, Hypoglycemia, Impotence, Malignancies, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's, Prostate and urinary problems, Psoriasis, Sleeping Disorders, Thyroid Problems, Ulcers, Warts, and more.

Some questions answered regarding Essiac

How long does it take to become effective?

This will depend a great deal on how advanced the cancer is and whether or not it has spread (metastasised) to other areas of the body away from the main site. How long it takes may also be affected by any adverse effects from orthodox therapy.

However, improvements are frequently detected with the majority of patients after Essiac has been taken for a week or two. Patients have been known to regain their appetites, sleep better, regain lost weight and generally feel better in themselves. Even in advanced terminal cases Essiac appears to have the effect of allieviating pain.

Why isn't Essiac available under the N.H.S or privately, as an orthodox remedy?

As Essiac is made from herbs, it cannot be patented and marketed profitably, as other expensive and potentially harmful cancer drugs are. Therefore, it has never attracted the attention or interest of the pharmaceutical industry, and has been ignored by orthodox medical science.

Most medical practitioners are unaware of it, and most, if asked about it, will tend to dismiss it disparagingly as being no more than a "quack" remedy. It is a pity that they do not find out and learn more about this before dismissing Essiac out of hand, but there it is.

When can Essiac therapy safely be stopped?

When medical tests like blood tests have indicated that all traces of cancer have been eradicated. It is then safe for the full therapeutic daily quantity of 3 tablespoons (45ml) twice a day to be discontinued. However it is a wise precaution for the preventative daily quantity of 2 dessertspoons (20ml) to be taken once a day thereafter for at least 6 months.

What are the advantages of Essiac over current treatment options for cancer?

Orthodox therapies are indiscriminate, invasive and destructive. These treatments consist of surgery, Radiotherapy and chemotherapy, none of which are able to discriminate between cancer cells and cancerous tissue on the one hand and healthy cells and tissue on the other.

Essiac therapy, however, does discriminate by helping the body's own immune system to attack and destroy only cancer cells and cancerous tissue, and to leave healthy cells and tissue unaffected.

How do you use Essiac?

You can brew these herbs into a tea to take twice - three times a day, on an empty stomach by purchasing tea bags which take the hassle out of brewing your own remedy. I used a formula available from Neways health products It is simple to make - just pour boiling water over, leave for 20 minutes to steep, then keep in the fridge and use in 45ml doses throughout the day.

It has a pleasant earthy taste and only small amounts need to be taken at a time (a few tablespoons or 45ml) as it is very concentrated. I took it for around 12 months and it is of a very high quality.

The evidence from people in modern times who have been helped by this formula is overwhelming and the subject of many books and case histories as to its effectiveness.

As I have recovered from breast cancer I can honestly say that along with other remedies like vitamin B17 coupled with a healthy diet, it has definitely done me a lot good and helped me to regain my health.
