ESSIAC: NATURE’S CURE FOR CANCER
Essiac
is a 4
herb tea that offers a strong chance to beat cancer
An
Interview With DR. GARY L. GLUM
-
RECIPE
included below
Rene
Caisse was a nurse living in Canada who for a period of almost sixty years
treated hundreds of people with an herbal remedy she called Essiac. She
discovered this remedy through a patient in the hospital where she worked who
had been cured of cancer. The patient had used an herbal remedy given her by
an Ojibway herbalist.
Rene
left the hospital in 1922 at age 33, and went to Bracebridge, Ontario, Canada
where she began administering Essiac to all who came to her. The majority of
those whom she treated came on referral with letters from their physicians
certifying they had incurable or terminal forms of cancer and that they had
been given up by the medical profession as untreatable.
Rene
began gathering the plants and preparing the herbal remedy herself in her own
kitchen, in a building lent her for her patients. She administered Essiac both
orally and by injection. In cases where there was severe damage to life
support organs, her patients died —but they lived far longer than the
medical profession had predicted, and, more significantly, they lived free of
pain. Still others, listed as hopeless and terminal, but without severe damage
to life support organs, were cured and lived 35—45
years (many are still living).
So
startling was the effectiveness of this simple herbal remedy, it
could not be ignored, and the Canadian Ministry of Health and Welfare and
the Parliament became involved. Friends, former patients, and grateful
families petitioned Canadian officialdom for Rene Caisse’s right to
administer the remedy to anyone who asked for it
without the threat of interference
The
story of Rene Caisse, her life, her work, and the effectiveness of the remedy
she named Essiac, is told in a book Sun Bear received, Calling of an Angel, by Dr. Gary L. Glum of Los Angeles. After
reading the book and finding it to
be informative, well documented and moving, I decided to interview Dr.
As I completed my second conversation with Dr. Glum, he said, “You’re opening a Pandora s Box here, publishing this interview about Essiac.” I disagreed, but began thinking about Pandora’s “box.” In the story of Pandora most well—known today, she is sent by the gods to curse humanity for offending them.
Pandora
is given a “box” or container with instructions not to open it,
which the gods know she
will disobey. When Pandora does open the box, famine, war, plague, disease,
pestilence — all the ills of humankind — are released. Then at the last
comes hope, as antidote to despair.
But
according to Barbara Walker’s Encyclopedia,
Pandora —whose name means “all giving” —was originally an image
for Mother Earth. She had, not a box, but a honey vase like the Cornucopia
from which flowed all life and creativity, as well as death and rebirth —
Earth’s gifts to her children. Because we are natural beings in a natural
world, it
seems appropriate that a
simple remedy composed of four common herbs, gifts of Earth, would suggest so
much promise for us today.
INTERVIEW
WITH DR. GLUM
Elisabeth
Robinson: To begin with, Dr. Glum, can you tell us a little about how you
became interested in the story you tell in Calling
of an Angel, and how you learned about Rene Caisse and her work?
Dr.
Gary Glum: A personal friend of mine knew this woman, whose name I have
promised not to reveal, who was living in Detroit, Michigan. Twenty years ago
she had been diagnosed with cervical cancer in a Detroit hospital where she
was eventually given up as incurable and terminal. She was given about ten
days to live.
She
convinced her husband to make a trip to Bracebridge, Canada where she went to
see Rene Caisse. She was treated with the herbal remedy developed by Rene —
Essiac
That’s
how it
began. When I
I
learned about Rene Caisse from Mary McPherson who was a very close personal
friend of Rene’s.. . not only a friend but also a patient. Mary’s mother
and her husband were also patients. They were all treated for cancer and cured
by Rene.
Mary
worked with Rene beginning in the 1930s and she had in her possession all
these documents that had to do with Essiac over the 40 years Rene administered
it.
All the documents Rene
had were destroyed by the Canadian Ministry of Health & Welfare at the
time of her death in 1978. They burned all that information in fifty—five
gallon drums behind her home.
Essiac
is a non—toxic herbal cure for cancer
ER:
Why?
GG:
Because
they don’t want this information in the hands of the public or the press or
anybody else. They indeed found out what Essiac was in 1937. The Royal Cancer
Commission hearings had then come to the same conclusions that Rene had —
that Essiac was a cure for cancer.
ER:
What
is Essiac exactly?
GG:
Essiac
is a non—toxic herbal cure for cancer that’s been with us since 1922.
It’s a formula made from four very common herbs.
ER:
I would guess that
virtually every person in the U.S. today has been touched by cancer, either
personally or through a loved one. If this information is true, and the effectiveness
of this remedy is actually medically documented, many lives could be saved.
Why do you think the information on Essiac is not more widely known?
GG:
The
information is withheld because cancer is the second largest revenue producing
business in the world, next to the petrochemical business. Money and power
suppress this truth.
No
one has ever sought to cure cancer — only to control it.
I mean, the research
institutes, federal governments, pharmaceutical companies, anybody that has a vested interest in the health care of cancer,
including the American Cancer Society, the Canadian Cancer Society, any of
these so—called benefactots to those who have contracted this disease —
all of these institutions are involved in the money and power around cancer.
These
institutions have influence over government and regulatory agencies such
as the Food and Drug Administration. The FDA recommends only allopathic treatments
for cancer and other life threatening diseases. It does not approve nor make
legal alternative treatments of any kind.
ER:
You’re
saying that Essiac is in a position similar to, for example, laetril.
GG:
Yes,
the only reason laetril was stopped — and it
couldn’t be stopped any
other way — was through the insurance companies. The insurance companies
sent down a directive to all allopathic physicians stating that they could
not cover them in any malpractice suit in the event they were treating people
with any substance not approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
ER:
In
your book you mention that the Brusch Clinic in Massachusetts worked with Rene
Caisse and with Essiac, during the early 1960s. Is this
GG:
Dr. Charles A. Brusch is not practicing at this time. He was a
personal physician to the late President John F. Kennedy. Dr. Brusch
worked with Rene Caisse from 1959 to 1962. He worked with thousands of
cancer patients. He also worked with the Presidential Cancer Commission,
with others like Dr. Armand Hammer, the American Cancer Society, and the
National Cancer Institute.
Dr.
Brusch presented his findings after ten years of research. He had come to
the conclusion that, in his own words, “Essiac is a cure for cancer,
period. All studies done at laboratories in the United States and Canada
support this conclusion.”
Whereupon
the federal government issued a gag order and said “You’ve got one of
two choices, either you keep quiet about this or we’ll haul you off to
military prison and you’ll never be heard of again.” So we never heard
another word out of him.
Brusch’s
Essiac patients included Ted Kennedy’s son who had a sarcoma in his leg,
and who had his leg amputated. He was being treated at that time by the
Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, Massachusetts. Dr. Farber didn’t know
how to save him, because no one had ever lived with this type of sarcoma. So
what he did was go to Dr. Brusch and say, how are we going to save Ted
Kennedy’s son? And Dr. Brusch made the suggestion to put him on Essiac,
and after they did, he didn’t have a cancer cell in his body. But all this
information has been hidden from the general public.
ER:
Why?
GG:
As
I said, money and power.
ER:
Do
you know whether the remedy is being used or tested anywhere today in the
U.S. or Canada?
GG:
Right
now Essiac is being used in every state in the United States, it’s
throughout Canada, into Mexico,
Of
course now you also have the
problem of herbal distributing companies throughout the world that are
substituting yellow dock and curly dock for sheep’s sorrel, which is one
of the critical ingredients in Essiac.
The
sheep’s sorrel is the herbal ingredient in Essiac that was found to be
responsible for the destruction of cancer cells in the body, or their
amalgamation where metastasized cancer cells actually return to the original
tumor site.
That
research was done by Dr. Chester Stock at Sloan—Kettering in New York for
over a three—year period. But when they gathered that information, they
withheld it from the general
public — yet they gave it to
the Canadian Ministry of Health & Welfare. The Canadian government then
immediately banned that herb for sale and distribution.
ER:
Banned
a common weed like sheep’s sorrel?
GG:
Yes, sheep’s sorrel is just a common weed that grows in
abundance
throughout North America and into Canada. Just a common weed.
(Note:
After this interview was completed, Wildfire learned from an herbalist
in Canada that the Canadian
government has recently banned St.
John’s Wort, also a common weed
frequently used by herbalists.)
ER:
Well,
it seems that banning sheep’s
sorrel would not be very effective if you could identify it
for yourself.
GG:
Yes,
it’s just a question of identifying the plant and then harvesting it correctly and drying it properly
and then putting it together with
the other herbs.
Rene
would harvest the sheep’s sorrel — Rumex
acetosella — when it was
four to six inches high. She cut it back
and it would grow up again, and
she’d cut it back again. She
would do that about three times and
She
would take the herb cuttings home and lay them out at room temperature to
dry them. She’d let the cuttings sit there for three or four days before
she’d begin turning the herbs. Then she’d turn them every two days until
they were properly dry, which took about ten days to two weeks. It takes
about a bushel of harvested sheep’s sorrel to produce one pound of the
dried powdered herb which is used in the formula.
ER:
Do
you have the formula? It’s not in your book. You do mention a video in the
book.
GG:
Yes,
I have it. Anyone can get it
from me, free of charge. We don’t sell the video anymore. We simply
mail the formula to anyone who asks for it.
ER:
Sun
Bear told me you had problems getting the book published and distributed.
What kind of problems?
GG:
There wasn’t a publishing company that would publish it.
No one wanted to run the risk of a wrongful death suit. So I published
the book myself. And as soon as I did, the IRS came in and slapped about a
half million dollars in tax liens against me and said, “You know this has
got nothing to do with taxes. It’s all about cancer.” They actually
started hauling the pallets of books out of my medical practice offices and
confiscating them. I also had thousands of books that were confiscated by
the Canadian government at customs. I have never received any of those
books back. The only ones I have now are hidden in storage facilities.
ER:
That’s
incredible — why do you think they are so interested in keeping this book
out of circulation?
GG:
Money and power, as I’ve said. Cancer is the largest revenue
producing business in the world next to the petrochemical business. In
Canada the book is being held up by the Ministry of Health & Welfare
because they say it is
“advertising.”
ER: Advertising
what? The video you don’t sell any more?
GG: No, a cure for cancer.
ER: Can
you explain what you mean by the publishers’ fearing a wrongful death
suit?
GG: What
you’re dealing with is giving people a formula that they can make and
use in the privacy of their own homes without the approval of the AMA or
FDA or anybody else. If any attorney or any family member should decide,
for whatever reason, that the reason someone expired was from the use of
Essiac, then you are putting yourself up for a wrongful death suit.
The
contention is that if it isn’t approved
by the Food and Drug Administration, there’s no legality in using it when
you’re dealing with a life threatening disease.
When Rene
Caisse set up her clinical trials in Canada to test Essiac, she was given
government permission to treat terminally ill cancer patients who had been
given up for hopeless by the medical profession. That was one criteria.
Secondly, this was all to be certified by a pathology report. And third,
she could not charge anything for her services. She agreed to all these
criteria and proceeded to treat people with Essiac. Many she treated were
still there 35 years later to bury her when she died at age 90.
The best that
anyone can do is just try to disseminate this information to the public
and let people make their own choices. That’s all you can do. And just
say, look, if you feel that Essiac has value in your life and the lives of
your loved ones, you have the right to make this remedy and use it in the
privacy of your own home and without anyone’s approval.
You know, in
1937 Essiac came within three votes of being legalized as a treatment for
cancer. People had garnered over fifty—five thousand
signatures on a petition to allow Rene to continue to use Essiac.
The only reason the vote fell short, she
So following
the Royal Cancer Commission hearings, Rene was allowed to continue her
practice but only within the
criteria I mentioned before, which allowed the Ministry of Health &
Welfare to restrict people’s access to Essiac treatments.
I know this
because I have a copy of the hearing transcripts which I got from Mary
McPherson, which is some of the information that did not get burned when
Rene died.
ER: You
mentioned that earlier. What exactly was burned?
GG: All
her research for that 4O—year period of time. All the names, all her
clinical data that she had collected. Her files and records.
ER: What
about the records of the Brusch Clinic? It seems these would be convincing
evidence.
GG: As
far as I know all that material has been destroyed also. I knew that Rene
had worked with Dr. Brusch from 1959 to 1962, 50
I went
to Dr. Brusch’s home in Cambridge, Massachusetts whereupon he
delivered to me the only material he had left in his files on Essiac. One
of those files was his own personal file where he had treated and cured
his own cancer with Essiac. I have his personal records.
All the
information in my book is verified by a sheet of paper with a signature
and a date on it, and those
sheets and signatures are all originals. They are not copies.
ER: Have
you had any personal experiences with Essiac?
GG: Yes,
I can give you an example. He was a twelve—year--old boy named Toby
Wood. He had acute lymphoblastic, which is one of the most virulent of all
leukemias.
He
had been on chemotherapy for four years and radiation for three. His
mother’s only hope in life was to find a cure for him. She went
everywhere. She tried every alternative treatment.
Her
last stop was Dr. Alvazados in Athens, Greece where her son’s white cell
count was 186,000. He had no red blood cells and no platelets. He was
hemorrhaging to death. So they transfused Toby in Greece and put him on a
plane to Alaska where he was given less than five days to live.
I
met his mother’s sister in Los Angeles while I was putting the book
together and she asked if there was any credibility here. We sat down and
talked. She then borrowed the money for a flight to Anchorage, and
delivered a bottle of Essiac. By the time she got there Toby was given
three days to live. He was in a state of complete deterioration. He was
given the Essiac and all the hemorrhaging stopped within 24 hours. Within
three months all his blood tests were normal. I arrived in Alaska later
that year and met him.
Toby Wood did
die, and we finally found a pathologist who would do an exhaustive
autopsy. We knew that he didn’t have leukemia any more. We wanted to
find out what was the cause of death. It took four months to get the
report back. The pathologist autopsied the brain, testicles, and all life
support organs, including the bone marrow. No blast cells were found in
any life support organ. No blast cells were found in the bone marrow.
There were a few stray cells in the testicles and in the brain. Cause of
death was damage to the myocardial sac of the heart, a result of the
chemotherapy.
This
was the first report anywhere in medical history of anyone surviving
lymphoblastic leukemia. That information was taken to AP and UPI
but they
said it was
nor newsworthy.
Our information on Essiac has been sent around the world twice through Publisher’s Weekly magazine in a huge two-page ad. We received no responses at all from any publishing company worldwide, no producers, directors, throughout the United States, no talk show programs, none of that. We can’t access the media. In fact we talked to PhilipScheffler, producer of 60 Minutes. He read the hook and we called him to ask what he was going to do about it. He said, nothing. I said, all the information in the book is verifiable. In other wotds, it’s the truth. I said, if you’re 60 Minutes why don’t you expose me and Essiac as a fraud. He said, nope, can’t do it.
We took
it to
Joe Donally who’s the executive news producer for ABC in New York. We
said why not give it to
Peter Jennings, Geraldo Rivera, Ted Koppel, one of those. He said, nope.
We asked why not. He said because his phone lines would be invaded with
65,000 phone calls. We said, how sympathetic do you think a parent
whose child is dying of leukemia, would be to your 65,000 phone calls.
He went On to say he’s
got a mortgage on his house and he’s looking toward ret
irement.
So that’s the problem. No one wants this
information disseminated. And it’s not just the media,
either. It includes the herbal companies who are now substituting the
curly dock for sheep’s sorrel. So people are getting the wrong
ingredients for Essiac, not to mention the five or six other formulas
that are circulating which are different from the one I send out. These
false formulas are being disseminated. There is a disinformation
campaign going on here, somehow.
ER: Has
this disinformation campaign
started just since your book has
been out?
GG: Previous
to my book, none of this information was available to the general public
at all. The public had no information outside of a few assorted
articles. Certainly the Essiac formula
was not available to the general public at all. All that information
was held by the Resperin Corporation in Toronto, Canada, which
supposedly is a private institution.
However, they work hand in glove with the Canadian Ministry of Health
& Welfare, who works directly with the American Food and Drug
Administration and the
ER: Did
the Resperin Corporation do any research on Essiac?
GG: They’ve
done research since 1978 when the formula was relinquished to them by
Rene for the purchase price of one dollar. As soon as they got the
formula, they told Rene they had no further use for her. She had been
under the distinct impression from the Ministry of Health & Welfare
and the Resperin Corporation that she was to lead the research
activities that they so desperately wanted to put together.
But Rene had already done clinical trials. She had names and records.
She thought the Resperin Corporation was politically powerful and had
money enough to get Essiac into the public sector without compromising
her values. Then she found out the Corporation was working closely with
the government and administration and the Ministry of Health &
Welfare.
So now people who were terminally ill and given up as hopeless had to go
through a federal bureaucratic maze to get the remedy. By then, for most
of these people, it was
too late. But even when people were cured, that information was not
released to the public.
Resperin ran research tests on Essiac. One test was conducted in
Northern Canada and the documents were falsified. For example, one man
was listed as dead who a few months later knocked on Rene’s door and
said, you know I want to thank you for the Essiac and being part of this
experimental program. Yet he was listed as dead in the research project
findings.
ER: It’s
beginning to seem amazing to me that any information at all about this
remedy has survived the “conspiracy of silence” or outright
destruction of records and so on.
GG: The
only reason Essiac is known today is by word of mouth and because Essiac
is what it is.
What
will keep Essiac known is its effectiveness. Rene said it
years
ago. She said, look, if Essiac doesn’t have any merit let me put it
out
there. If it doesn’t have merit,
it will
kill itself. Of course she knew full well if people had the correct
herbs, the remedy would stand on its own. And that is exactly what
Essiac has done over this period of time that we’ve been disseminating
the information.
Rene also found that Essiac was
a strong preventive. These findings were
substantiated by Dr. Albert Schatz at Temple University who discovered
the cure for tuberculosis.
Rene also found that Essiac would normalize the thyroid gland. My wife
was on two grains of thyroid since the sixth grade. After I met her, she
started taking Essiac, and she hasn’t taken a grain of thyroid since.
Rene also found that Essiac would heal stomach ulcers within three or
four weeks. She felt that ulcers were a precursor to cancer.
Sir Frederick Banting, the co—discoverer of insulin, wanted to work
with Rene. She had clinical cases where a person on insulin discontinued
it with
the Essiac, since no one knew how Essiac would interact with the
insulin. Apparently Essiac regulated the pancreas in cases of diabetes
mellitus. So these people then became insulin—free.
Another thing I’ve found with Essiac is that I’ve experienced almost
perfect health. As you get older you think, well, I’m forty now, these
things happen. Well, these things don’t have to happen. Since I’ve
taken Essiac, I’ve experienced almost perfect health. It’s amazing. I sleep like a baby, have all kinds of energy, and no
sickness, not even a cold or the flu.
I also worked with the AIDS Project Los Angeles through their Long Beach and San Pedro districts. They had sent 179 patients home to die. They all had pneumocystis carinii and histoplasmosis. Their weight was down to about 100 pounds. Their T-4 cell counts were less than ten. The Project gave me five of these patients. I took them off the AZT and the DDI and put them on Essiac three times a day.Those are the only ones alive today. The other 174 are dead.
ER: That
is incredible — but
what kind of lives are they leading today?
GG: They’re exercising three times a day, eating
three meals a day. Their weight is back to normal. For all intents and
purposes you wouldn’t know they were sick a day in their lives. But
this information is not being disseminated either, because AIDS is on
the horizon as another big moneymaker. The chairman of the AIDS
project in Los Angeles makes over $100,000 a year.
Even the alternative health care professionals are out there to control,
not to cure. Alternative medical practice is just as mercenary and
deceptive as the allopathic. No one wants a cure for cancer or
Nationwide in
the water we drink over 2,100 organic and inorganic chemicals have
The alternative people are also into it for the money. What you’re
finding with Essiac is that it is not even allowed into the arenas of
alternative health care. So really what you’ve got out here is
peopie continually perpetrating these lies against mankind. For money.
For money and power. It’s that simple.
Really once you think about it, the only reason we don’t have solar
power is that no one’s figured out a way to sell EXXON the sun.
It’s true. If they could, you’d have solar power. You know you’d
have it.
ER: So, in your own personal
experience, this herbal remedy works to — I’m going to just quote you
GG: It also cures the common cold. Essiac elevates the
immune system. I’ve been taking one ounce a day for seven years, and
in seven years I haven’t had a cold, flu or virus.
ER: And all of this from a simple Native herbal
remedy?
GG: Yes. Although Rene did alter it. She altered it
with Turkish rhubarb root (Rheum palmatum).
Turkish rhubarb has a 5,000 year history. It actually came up from
India into China and then was taken by the British.
ER: Turkish rhubarb root certainly is not native
in this country, nor available here. Herbals from foreign countries
are fumigated and irradiated, so is it a good idea to use the
Turkish rhubarb?
GG: You can substitute ordinary rhubarb root. The other
two ingredients are burdock root (Arctium
lap pa) and the inner bark of slippery elm (Ulmus fulva).
They are easy to obtain, usually. Sheep’s sorrel, Rumex acetosella, is what destroys the cancer cells. The other three
herbs are blood purifiers.
Essiac elevates the enzyme system and gives all cancer patients and all
AIDS patients the enzymes that have been destroyed. Essiac elevates
the enzyme system; it elevates the hormone system, which elevates the
immune system, so the body can cure its own disease.
ER: What about quantities? Some herbals are
toxic.
GG: Even its worst enemy could never lay claim that
Essiac had any deleterious side effects whatever. You can take Essiac
safely, through all the clinical trials that have been done, up to six
ounces a day. That’s two
ounces in the
evening, two in the morning and two around noontime. That’s a high
dosage. Rene had the correct herbs and she used as little as one ounce
a week.
But look at the difference between
then and now. The food didn’t have carcinogens in it, and neither
did the water, nor the air. So what have we done? We’ve killed the
air, killed the water, killed the food. So what’s left?
Nationwide in the water we drink over 2,100 organic and
inorganic
chemicals have been identified, and 156 of them are pure
carcinogens. Of those, if you have a rumor, 26 are tumor promoting, so
they make the tumor larger. But of course this information is not
available to the public either. Those figures are from tests
conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency which have never been
distributed to the public.
ER: How
did you get the information?
GG: From a Ralph Nader organization out of
Washington, D. C. The media has not disseminated this information.
Another problem is that very few people read books any more. We can
only hope they’ll read Calling of an Angel. Of
course, the problem right now is people getting the right herbs.
ER: Anything
you’d like to add before we close this interview?
GG: I would like to say that I didn’t do all this
research because I feel I have a responsibility to other people. I did
it because
I have a responsibility to myself. I know that I’ve done all I can
to disseminate this information and bring it to the
people.
I was the
first person to release this information on Essiac, how to make it, to the
general public and say, here it is, here’s the formula, here’s the
story. So now the story is out there and look what’s happening
ER: Gary, it's been very interesting.

The
Herbal
Healer Academy Inc., would like you to have this information.
The Herbal Healer Academy Inc., makes no healing claims regarding this
herbal formula, but will provide it to you for your own personal use
and experimentation. The Herbal Healer Academy Inc., is a private
membership organization dedicated to the exploration of the
non-aggressive Healing Arts and Botanical medicine. We established the
Academy in 1988 to promote the education of natural medicine, teach
proper usages of natural products and to provide a foundation for
credible hands-on research into natural healing medicine and
non-aggressive healing techniques. We offer home study courses.
PREPARATION OF THE 4-HERB FORMULA
SUPPLIES
NEEDED:
Stainless Steel or enamel canning pot with lid. Never use aluminum.
Another
large pot to pour hot liquid into while you strain It. This can be
pyrex, stainless steel.
Stainless
steel mesh strainer and spoon and label
(They
need to be amber, as the formula is light sensitive and will not stay
as potent.)
PROCEDURE TO MAKE YOUR TEA
1.
To make two gallon recipe -
Mix
the four herbs together. (approximately 1 cup)
(You
may cut the recipe in half if you wish, but we do recommend that you
halve each package of herbs first, then mix them together. The reason
for this Is that the powdered herbs, such as the Turkey Rhubarb fall
to the bottom and your recipe will not be evenly divided if you don't
split them first.)
2. Full
recipe - Bring two gallons of water to a boil. If using only
half of the herbs, bring 1 gallon of water to a boil. Stir in herbs,
replace lid and boil for 10 minutes.
3. Turn
off stove, scrape down sides, mix well and allow pot to sit and remain
closed for 12 hours. (This is the steeping and extraction process.)
4.
Reheat to almost boiling, about 10
minutes. Let cool just a little and begin straining process. Strain as
many times as you like. A little herb left in the liquid will not hurt
it in any way. Reheat your liquid once again. 2 - 3 minutes only. This will
kill any bacteria that may have landed in your liquid and help keep it
from spoiling.
5. Using
a funnel or a glass measuring cup, put your hot liquid into preheated
bottles. You can heat the bottles in the oven - 200 degrees -
5
or 10 minutes. Do not put caps In oven!
6.
Cap, let cool and then put in the refrigerator. This will be
good for two weeks. Label the day you made it and the day it expires.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Mix
2 oz. of herbal liquid with 2 oz. of hot water. Never
heat this formula or the hot water in a microwave! If you have a
microwave, please request microwave article when you order. Formula
should be taken on an empty stomach to allow for better absorbability.
Always take before eating. Wait 10-20 minutes before eating. This
formula can be taken 1 to 3 times per day. The herbal formula is
non-toxic In proper doses. These herbs do stimulate the body to throw
off toxins and therefore it is important that you drink plenty of
clean spring water and have regular bowel movements. Dr. Gary Glum
recommends 3 times a day for cancer and serious ailments, twice a day
for chronic and 1 time a day for maintenance and gentle
detoxification.

BURDOCK ROOT. SHEEP SORREL. SLIPPERY
ELM & RHUBARB ROOT FORMULA
Before
I begin with the testimonials, I would like to briefly mention that it
is of critical importance that the herbs for this formula be purchased
from a reliable dealer. I recently returned 45 pounds of Burdock Root
to one of the leading herbal supply houses. I purchased them because
their prices were so much lower than my regular suppliers., When it
arrived, it had no smell and appeared lifeless. It did not give me the
proper taste or the proper coloring when added to water, I confronted
this company and after checking with their laboratory they informed me
that it was an inferior product, but it was still Burdock root and
that was were their liability ended. I asked what they would do with
the 45 pounds I was returning and they informed me that it was going
out to the health food stores. They had hundreds of pounds... Now my
friends, like any form of medicine, herbology requires skilled
professional people that can recognize potent medicine from impotent
medicine... We now contract our own herbal fields and are in control
of quality and potency!
The
Herbal Healer Academy can make no medical or healing claim about this
4-HERB formula. The formula is made with the correct proportions
(very important) of Burdock Root, Sheep Sorrel, Slippery Elm and
Rhubarb Root as given by Rene Cassie. It is easy to prepare and can be
made in any equipped kitchen, The Herbal Healer Academy has had some

Tea for "C"
One of the best-known alternative cancer answers is called Essiac tea. Even people who don't know much about alternative medicine sometimes know about Essiac. It's the kind of thing people tell their friends. It's been the subject of many books, articles, TV programs, radio shows and websites.
I first learned about Essiac a couple of years ago when I first got involved in researching alternative cancer treatments. I could see right away it was the real deal. And that's saying something in this business where there are dozens of dubious medicines.
Thousands of cancer patients have used Essiac tea successfully for about 80 years. Many of them got pain relief, extra years of life and in some cases full, 100% remission. It's almost totally safe -- as even its critics have to admit (more on this in a minute).
The woman who pioneered the treatment in the 1920s conducted scientific tests and based her claims on decades of clinical experience with cancer patients.
President John F. Kennedy's personal physician and trusted friend, Charles Brusch, M.D., provided Essiac at his Massachusetts clinic.
In 1990 Dr. Brusch signed an affidavit describing his experiences with Essiac: "Clinically, in patients suffering from pathologically proven cancer, it reduced pain and caused a recession in the growth. Patients gained weight and showed a great improvement in their general health. . .Remarkably beneficial results were obtained even on those cases at the 'end of the road' where it proved to prolong life and the 'quality' of life."
Dr. Brusch added something especially important: "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 tea alone."
I don't know about you, but I like it when doctors practice what they preach. That's quite a difference from conventional American cancer doctors. Many say in private they'd never use chemotherapy on themselves or their families.
Dr. Morton Walker included Essiac as one of his top ten picks in Natural Cancer Remedies that Work. This Special Report was the first one we published. It was a great success and enabled us to keep going and publish more reports including Cancer Defeated, Cancer Breakthrough USA and The Missing Ingredient for Good Health.
Considering we were new to cancer reporting, Dr. Walker was a lucky find. I've learned a lot about alternative cancer treatments that I didn't know a couple of years ago when we were pulling together Dr. Walker's report, but his ten treatments in Natural Cancer Remedies would still be at the top of my personal list.
That's amazing when you consider there are hundreds of alternative cancer treatments, ranging from excellent to worthless. Even when people mean well, it's easy to go wrong. Dr. Walker is a peach, and we're indebted to him for being our first teacher on this subject.
The Number One treatment in Natural Cancer Remedies that Work is a therapy called hyperthermia. I'd insist on it if I had cancer. I wouldn't go to a clinic that didn't offer hyperthermia.
The evidence for it is overwhelming. It's used extensively in clinics outside the U.S. What's more, it's safe and noninvasive. You'll learn more in the report if you decide to buy it. And of course you'll get all the details on nine other top therapies including Essiac.
Essiac tea is based on ancient herbal treatments from the Ojibway, a tribe of Native Americans or "Indians," if you will. You might know this tribe better as the Chippewa. The original formula was made up of eight herbs.
This valuable therapy might have been lost forever if a medicine man hadn't revealed it to a white Canadian woman suffering from breast cancer. She was cured, and years later, when she was very old, she revealed the tea to Rene Caisse, the head nurse in a Canadian hospital. The year was 1922.
Not long after, Rene Caisse's aunt was diagnosed with "terminal" stomach and liver cancer. Seeing no alternative, the doctor let Nurse Caisse treat her aunt with the Native American tea.
The aunt fully recovered and lived another 21 years.
This simple incident launched a Canadian legend. In fact, Essiac is just "Caisse" spelled backwards. Rene Caisse spent the next five decades of her life in unselfish devotion to cancer victims.
She refused payment for her services and took voluntary contributions instead -- sometimes farm-fresh eggs or hand-knit sweaters. She became beloved all over Ontario for her acts of charity. Her work brought relief to hundreds of cancer patients.
What's rare for any alternative, the tea came very close to full acceptance by the Canadian medical authorities as a mainstream cancer treatment. It was a near miss.
Some Ontario doctors petitioned their government in 1926 to accept Essiac. They'd seen what it could do for cancer patients with their own eyes. In 1935, 17,000 Canadian citizens petitioned the government again, asking acceptance for Essiac.
"Legalization" never happened. And for once, it wasn't mainstream medicine's fault. By all accounts, Rene Caisse was a stubborn, eccentric person. She refused to cooperate with mainstream scientists -- many of them pro-Essiac. Her actions prevented the remedy from winning acceptance.
In spite of that, Essiac is less controversial than it was thirty or forty years ago. Decades of experience by thousands of patients reveal no adverse side effects, although people who take too much sometimes complain of short-term headache, dizziness or nausea. It's not recommended for pregnant or lactating women.
Can you drink the tea to prevent cancer? It makes sense, but there's no firm proof one way or the other. At least it does no harm as far as we know.
Julian Whitaker, M.D., editor of the popular Health & Healing newsletter, writes, "Rene Caisse never claimed that Essiac was a cancer cure, nor that it would help everyone. But neither should we dismiss it as just another old folk remedy. The individual herbs in Essiac tea have all been shown in recent years to have anticancer activity, and thousands of cancer patients in the past 70 years have claimed to have been helped by Essiac tea."
My take is that the evidence is good for pain relief, tumor shrinkage and general improved well-being among cancer patients who try Essiac tea. When it comes to full remission, there's less evidence. It sounds like such cases are a small percentage but they do happen.
You should not assume Essiac is a full-blown "cure" and personally I'd use it as one of a battery of natural therapies, not as my only hope. Absolutely get help from a health professional if you have cancer. Discuss Essiac with them, if you're interested in trying it.
