Essiac Tea

I recently started drinking the Brassica tea patented by Johns Hopkins. It's green tea with  SGS (the natural compound found in broccoli and broccoli sprouts). The tea tastes fine-- better iced with lemon, and there are others-- red bush tea with SGS, etc.  I thought about just juicing broccoli but this is a much better (at least tastier, to me) alternative.-- Julie

Concerning the essiac tea: "If you have an estrogen dependent tumor – Turkey rhubarb and burdock are both known to contain phytosterols. Phytosterols can mimic act like estrogen in the body, and feed estrogen dependent tumors"

 But the Brassica tea sounds like a good idea!

On the box it says that each tea bag has 15 mg of SGS.  I'm not sure what that translates to in terms of pounds of broccoli. My oncologist had never heard of the tea (she's at Georgetown and usually doubts the efficacy of any of these supplements, so I just ignore her). But green tea in general is good for us, and this is just an added benefit. I order from Amazon-- it's 16 bags per box.
