Essiac is a blend of herbs used by Canadian nurse Rene Caisse in the 1920’s; while working with a breast cancer patient who did not have the money to pay for medical treatment. Fortunately Rene was acquainted with an Indian “Medicine Man” who believed he could help this patient with his herbal tea. After her recovery, Rene used what later became Essiac on both her mother and her aunt who lived much longer than their doctors had expected.
The original “Medicine Man’s” formula was modified a few times and over next 50 years it helped many other patients believed to be incurable by their doctors. Rene eventually formalized Essiac into a 4 herb formula containing Burdock, Sheep Sorrel, Turkey Rhubarb and Slippery Elm. Unfortunately this blend has never been approved by the AMA or the American Cancer Society; to scientifi cally prove its effects would take millions of dollars and 10 years of research; but over the last 80 years Essiac has had positive results with so many people.
I became familiar with this formula years ago when my friend was diagnosed with a brain tumor; his only option was radiation and his doctors were not hopeful since no one had survived this type of tumor before. I immediately went into research mode; I found that for centuries Burdock had been and still is used all over the world as a cancer fi ghting herb one that helps to reduce lymph-edema with anti-mutagenic and anti-tumor properties. Burdock helps to restore the circulatory, respiratory, urinary and lymphatic systems removing toxins from the body caused by radiation.
Nutrient rich Sheep Sorrel nourishes the blood carrying oxygen throughout the body. It contains aloe-emodin found to have anti-leukemic properties and other compounds found to cause the regression of metastasized cells reducing tumor growth.
Slippery Elm is another nutrient rich herb in Essiac it contains beta-sitosterol and polysaccharides found to have anticanceractivities. Its other nutrients help to soothe, heal and reduce inflammations of the throat, esophagus, vocal cords, stomach, bowels and reproductive organs greatly reducing pain.
Turkey Rhubarb helps to ease constipation, detoxify the liver, improve circulation and reduce infl ammation it contains emodin, aloe-emodin, catechin and rhein all found to have anti-cancer activities with the emodin being a strong inhibitor of leukemia.
Together this blend boosts your immune system, destroys parasites, they remove heavy metals and other toxins from the body caused by radiation and chemo. They ease side effects of chemo and radiation including pain, inflammation and stomach distress.
Essiac can be found in health food stores, the doses can vary depending on the severity of the condition. My friend started with 4 capsules and went up to 18 capsules in one day; for some people this can cause stomach distress or diarrhea my advice would be to take it slow.
Essiac makes no claims to be a cure for anything but it has stood the test of time as a complement to most traditional therapies, and in my family it has served us well.
