Essiac

I know there a lot of information out there about Essiac...For whatever it's worth, here's a article in support of it.

As reported by Sheila Fraser and Caroll Allen in Homaker's Magazine, "Dr. Charles McClure, supervisor of research, and Dr. Charles Brusch concluded after three months [that] 'On mice [Essiac] has been shown to cause a decided recession of the mass, and a definite change in cell formation. Clinically, on patients suffering from pathologically proven cancer, it reduces pain and causes a recession in the growth; patients have gained weight and shown an improvement in their general health. This, after only three months' tests and the proof Miss Caisse has to show of the many patients she has benefited in the past 25 years, has convinced the doctors at the Brusch Medical Center that Essiac has merit in the treatment of cancer. The doctors do not say that Essiac is a cure, but they do say it is of benefit. It is non-toxic, and is administered both orally and by intra muscular injection.'"

In 1990, Dr Charles Brusch wrote, "Many years have gone by since I first experienced the use of Essiac with my patients. . .suffering from many varied forms of cancer. . . . Rene [Caisse] worked with me and together we refined and perfected her formula. . .

"In some cases, if the tumor didn't disappear, it could be surgically removed after Essiac with less risk of metastasis resulting in new outbreaks. Hemorrhage has been rapidly brought under control in many difficult cases, open lesions of lip and breast responded to treatment, and patients with cancer of the stomach have returned to normal activity among many other remembered cases. Also, intestinal burns from radiation were healed and damage replaced, and it was found to greatly improve whatever the condition. . . .I endorse this therapy even today, for I have in fact cured my own cancer, the original site of which was the lower bowel, through Essiac alone."
