Product Description

The Essiac Handbook tells the story of the Canadian nurse Rene Caisse who cured thousands of people of cancer with a herbal remedy which she obtained from an Ojibway medicine man in 1922. Essiac was studied by the Canadian Parliament and The Royal Cancer Commission and in 1938 was declared to be a valid remedy for cancer. In the 1950s Rene worked with Dr. Charles Brusch in Cambridge, Mass. Dr. Brusch, who was John Kennedy's personal physican, also declared Essiac to be a cure for cancer. Also included are the formula for making Essiac, a description of the herbs used, an explanation of how Essiac works, and information about Essiac's therapeutic value for other immune system related illnesses such as lupus, chronic fatigue, multiple sclerosis, and Hiv/Aids. Packed with useful information, The Essiac Handbook will appeal to many.

4.0 out of 5 stars Covers a lot of information regarding Essiac Tea., April 19, 1999

By A Customer

I would recommend this handbook to anyone who may be seeking an alternative medicine for cancer, rather than the chemotherapy and radiation. We chose Essiac Tea, and my husband is cancer free. This info, along with the power of prayer and faith, will give you a new perspective. It did for us. Best of luck to you.

I now know five people that have been completely cured of cancer by this old remedy. Amazing how, rather than treatment, there truly is a cure! Oh, how I wished more could know......
