Essiac

This book gives a complete account of the recipe, the doses and of Essiac's uses now available through health food stores. Tells of experience of patients who have attained relief or regeneration from this remarkable herbal preparation.

This is the story of Rene M. Caisse of Bracebridge, Canada and describes her extraordinary perseverance to obtain official recognition of her herbal cancer remedy she called Essiac, her name spelled backwards. Rene Caisse was thrust into a life-long medical-legal-political controversy that still persists since her death in 1978. Rene wrestled with the Hepburn government of Ontario over the operation of her Bracebridge cancer clinic during 1935 to 1941 and her use of Essiac. She refused to reveal her secret formula and legislation demanding the recipe forced the closing of her clinic. The government was embroiled in the dilemma of ensuring their public favour and appeasing cancer patients. This documented research presents a biography of a remarkable woman and her struggle to help "suffering humanity."

Does someone you know have cancer? Do you have cancer? Are you going to be taking care of someone who has cancer? Or, perhaps you want to prevent your family members and yourself from ever getting cancer. If these are any of the reasons for reading this book, you are making the best decision of your life. Are we winning the battle against cancer? Today, in the United States and Canada, the three main treatments for dealing with cancer are surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. For a few kinds of cancer, such as skin cancer, surgery can save someone's life. The dreaded diseases of childhood cancers are uniquely susceptible to chemotherapy and radiation. However, for everyone else, chemotherapy and radiation will only slow down the cancer's progression and leave patients fighting all the damage done to their immune systems. When someone hears that she has cancer, does she feel secure, safe, or petrified? It is because of these feelings of apprehension that I sought out a truly helpful therapy that would strengthen the immune system and thus possibly prevent cancer. Is this therapy new? No, it has been around since the l920s. Before then, it was used by the Ojibwa (Chippewa Indians) as a cancer cure. The cancer therapy is called Essiac, and it was discovered by Rene Caisse, RN. Have you ever heard of Essiac? When someone tries to find out about Essiac online, he might find one site on cancer therapies hosted by Quackwatch, which states that Essiac has no antitumor activity. This is totally untrue. Several books have been written on Essiac, but I have pulled together research and proof that has not been written about before. I will offer proof that Essiac, an alternative cancer approach, does alter and stop cancer. There is evidence that Essiac really does work when it is used as it is supposed to be. Besides having found many research projects that tell how Essiac and its component herbs have antitumor activity, I have also discovered that in 1996, China's department of health declared the Essiac formula a Class A medicine-one that deals with life-threatening diseases-and since then, it has been used to treat cancer in China. Quite notably, it has demonstrated a clear ability to inhibit the growth of tumors. The work that I have gathered goes into everything regarding Essiac, including the history of Essiac's initial use by Rene M. Caisse RN, who spent fifty years of her life treating people with cancer. Essiac is touted by Sir Frederick Banting (the discoverer of insulin), Dr. Emma M. Carson (recipient of awards from Presidents Roosevelt and Wilson), and Dr. Charles Brusch (personal physician to President John F. Kennedy). But most importantly, there is proof today that after ninety years of using it, even without standard protocol, direct evidence shows that Essiac does work. This books shows that the natural herbs that comprise Essiac, which were originally offered by the Ojibwa Indians, do have a preventative and/or healing effect on cancer.

Essiac is a popular herbal remedy American origin which has a proven record of helping people with cancer. Essiac is made from blending four effective and commonly available herbs into a tea. The formula originally came from a Native American medicine-man who used it successfully to treat an English woman with breast cancer. Thirty years later this same woman passed on the recipe to Rene Caisse, a Canadian nurse.

Essiac is a popular herbal remedy with a proven record of helping people with cancer. It was developed seventy-five years ago by Rene Caisse, a Canadian nurse, and now has an international reputation being recommended by complementary and medical practitioners, cancer centres and hospices world-wide. In their first book, 'Essiac Essentials', Sheila Snow and Mali Klein gave detailed information on how to grow, harvest or obtain commercially the herbs necessary to make Essiac. They also gave an easy-to-follow recipe. In this new book they reveal what they have discovered of other formulae or herbs Rene Caisse may have used. They also share the information they have found in archives about the roles played by some of the more prominent figures involved with the development of Essiac, especially during the last years of Rene Caisse's life. In addition they have included information related to the basic science of cancer, the related chemical and radiation therapies and the importance of maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle in order to enhance the possibly palliative and remedial effects of the Essiac formula. The book concludes with selected case histories and a list of international resources related to Essiac. Other books by Mali Klein and Sheila Snow Essiac Essentials
