Essiac Cancer Treatment

How It Works

Essiac is a product that is composed of 4 or more herbs, two of which (Sheep Sorrel and Burdock Root) are known to kill cancer cells. The other two herbs build the immunity system and deal with the dead cancer cells.

Essiac Tea

Essiac Tea (or Flor-Essence, a brand name of Flora Inc.), is a long proven method of curing cancer. It dates back to the 1920s and before. It is so well known I won't say much about it, but I do link to several articles below.

While the basic components of Essiac are well known, the exact proportions of the herbs in Essiac are not known. I personally would be more concerned with the quality of the herbs, than the exact formula, though I would favor formulas that have more Sheep Sorrel than those that don't. Some brands have 4, 6 or 8 herbs (e.g. Flor-Essence has 8 herbs). The extra herbs won't hurt, and are probably of some help. But again, the quality of the herbs is the most important issue.

I should mention that it is the Sheep Sorrel that is the main cancer killing herb in Essiac or Flor-Essence. Sheep Sorrel has been known about for over a hundred years as a cancer fighting herb.

Several Important Notices

Warnings: Avoid using plastic and aluminum while preparing formula or storing formula. If a green mold appears, discard contents. Sunlight destroys aspects of formula. Do not Freeze.

Currently, I consider Essiac Tea to be a "Phase III cancer treatment," meaning I do not consider it especially effective on Stage IV cancer patients. The reason is that most people do not grow their own herbs or know someone who does grow their own herbs.

When Rene Caisse was treating patients, she would make her own tea and have it to her customers usually within 48 hours of making it. However, when you order Essiac Tea by mail, it is usually several months old.

The two reasons I do not consider this a "Stage IV cancer treatment" is because some of the Essiac Tea products have been dehydrated, and virtually all of the products are several months old.

If you grow your own herbs, or your practitioner grows their own herbs, and if you can get them such that they are not dehydrated, and you take the product within 48 hours of being cut, then you can consider this a Stage IV cancer treatment.

Here is an excellent article on who should NOT take Essiac Tea (e.g. for brain cancer, pregnant women, etc.):

Supercharging This Treatment

The value of Essiac Tea would be greatly enhanced by combining it with the Bill Henderson Protocol. The Bill Henderson Protocol, by itself, is a Stage IV treatment, and it includes the diet that should be used when taking Essiac Tea. NO alternative cancer treatment should be used without a good "cancer diet" which does not feed the cancer cells. See:
Bill Henderson Protocol

An alternative cancer treatment should be a complete treatment protocol. Do NOT forget to study the complete treatment protocol for Stage I, II and III cancer patients and the complete treatment protocol for Stage IV cancer patients:
