Editorial Reviews

Product Description

In 1922, Rene Caisse, a Canadian nurse, made a discovery that would change her life and the course of cancer therapy. Caisse received the formula for an herbal remedy through a patient who had been successfully treated for breast cancer by a Native American medicine man. With this remedy, which she called Essiac, Caisse would go on to treat thousands of patients at an incredible recovery rate of 80%!

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Straight Talk about Essiac, December 19, 1999

By	Dorothy Voigt (Lincoln, California) - See all my reviews

This book is a no frills, frank discussion of the use of essiac to build up the immune system so the body can fight cancer and many other immune related diseases. The history of the discovery of native use of essiac by Rene Caisse and how she was able to use it successfully to help a large number of people is very encouraging to potential users of essiac today. I have purchased several copies of this book and given them away to cancer sufferers who have immediately began using the tea with great trust and hope. The odds of being helped by essiac presented in this book are so much better than most cancer patients could imagine that they are eager to try it. Every cancer patient should read this book and then make up their mind about how they wish to combat their disease!

By	Doris (Washington State) - See all my reviews

I was Hospitalized last year for Lymphoma.Iwas so ill chances of survival were slim.The Doctors had to remove my spleen,for they could of not saved it from the disease.I heared about essiac Tea.I had nothing to loose at this point.I had a friend bring it in to the Hospital were I was at.The remarkable difference the tea made, made me a true believer in it.It has been 6 months since I first took my first drink from it and to this day I am still drinking it daily.I have not missed a day.Now 6 months have passed and the Doctors say they got 99% of the disease.There is still 1% left,but from the day I was diagnosed,I could not be any happier.They say it is uncurrable,but If I can get it in remission that is good enough for me.Thank you essiac Tea and to all my friends that stood by me in the Hospital and are still with me today fighting this disease.And to a very special friend Kenny,that helped me efford the tea during a very hard time of money.And also a very special thanks to my ex-Husband and my children that gave me hope and comfort again.This is not a easy disease to swallow but stick in there.There is hope.Thank you for the time to have let me share my feelings.Thank you Essiac Tea.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent quick- to- read overview of cancer cure, October 24, 1998

By	[e-mail] (TENNESSEE, UNITED STATES) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Essiac: A Native Herbal Cancer Remedy (Paperback)

This book is very easy to read -- gives a history of how the tea was "adapted" from a native American herbal recipe, the struggle to get the word out and the battle with the established medical community regarding its use. Would highly recommend to any person diagnosed with cancer or anyone with a family member affected by the disease. Read the book before medical treatment begins and certainly, do not give up hope, even if the doctors say "there's nothing else we can do". THERE IS HOPE -- PLEASE READ THE BOOK!
