What people use when they have cancer and want to get well with alternative treatment
Essiac treatment developed by Rene Caisse 1888-1978
The Story of the Discovery told by Rene Caisse
I was Head Nurse at the Sisters of Providence Hospital in northern Ontario town (Canada) which I saw an elderly lady being bathed by one of my nurses and noticed that one breast was just a mass of scar tissue, so I asked about it. This lady told me that years before, she had come out from England to the wilds of northern Ontario to join her husband who was prospecting out there.
he developed cancer and she said an Indian told her to make a tea out of certain herbs and drink it. She did this for over a year and the breast healed and although she was nearly eighty years of age, had never had recurrence. I was very interested and wrote down the names of the herbs she had used.
Knowing that at the time, doctors threw up their hands when cancer was discovered in a patient, my thought was that if I should ever develop cancer, I would use it. A year later, I was with an aged to retired doctor whom I knew well and we were walking in his garden, when he took his cane and lifted a weed and said to me.
“ Nurse Caisse if the people would use this, there would be little or no cancer in the world.”
later discovered that this was one of the herbs that Mrs. M had told me about. ( my mother a Mohawk told me the same thing when I was 8 years old, I was told never(pipi) (urinate) on it, it is (plant) a life saver, and you never get really sick if you use it in the seasons)..(this will be explained later on )
Some time later, I got word that my mother ‘s only sister had been operated on in Brockville ( Ontario Canada) and the doctors had found that she had cancer of the stomach with a liver involvement .
hey gave her at the most six months to live. I hastened to her and her doctor Dr. R. O Fisher of Toronto (Ontario), whom I knew well (having nursed patient for him many times) was there, so I told him about the herb tea and asked his permission to try it under his observation. He gave me his consent and was so impressed with the results that he gave me other hopeless cases to treat for him. (Incidentally my aunt lived for twenty one years after my treatment) Other doctors hearing about me from Dr. Fisher, asked me to treat patients for them after everything medical science had to offer, had been used and failed (medical rejects, same applies in 1998) .
hey too, were impressed with the results, so much so, that they got together and had me treat an old man whose face was eaten away and he was bleeding so badly that they said he could not last more than 10 days.
y Treatment stopped the bleeding and the face healed and lived for six more months (note the treatment was also encompassing the salve) On the strength of what those doctors saw with their own eyes eight of them signed a petition to the Department of National Health and Welfare (Canada) Asking that I be given facilities to do independent research of my discovery. This petition dated at Toronto on October 27 th 192.
In the meantime Dr. Fisher had shown me how, by elimination of the protein content, it could be given by injection. It took about two years to find out just what ingredients could be given hypodermically without a reaction, and by elimination, we found the ingredients that directly reduced the growth of the cancer. However, I found that the other ingredients which could not be injected, were necessary to the treatment, in order to carry the destroyed tissue and infections thrown off by the malignancy, so by giving the injection to destroy the mass of malignant cells and giving the medicine orally to purify the blood , I was able to get the best results.
he Department of Health and Welfare, after receiving the Petition signed by the doctors, sent two doctors from Ottawa to have me arrested. But they found that I was working with nine of the most eminent doctors in Toronto and heard their opinions they did not arrest me – in fact one of them Dr. W. C. Arnold became so interested that he arranged to have me work on mice at the Christie Street Hospital Laboratories with Dr. Norich and Dr. Lockheed. These mice were inoculated with Rous Sarcoma. I kept these mice alive for fifty two days, which was longer than anyone else had been able to do. Later I did a series of mice with two other doctors and kept these mice alive for 72 days. Then I made an appointment with Dr. Frederick Banting (of insulin fame) After reading my case notes, he examined the pictures of the man with the face cancer and said.
| “ Miss Caisse I will not say you have a cure for cancer but you have more evidence of a beneficial treatment for cancer than anyone in the world”. |
well remember the first injection of the medication; Dr. R. O. Fischer called me and said he had a patient from Lyons, New York, who had cancer of the throat and tongue and he wanted me to inject it into the tongue. Well I was nearly scared to death as there was a violent reaction a severe chill and the tongue was swollen so badly, the doctor had to press it down with a spatula to let the patient breath. This lasting about twenty minutes, then the swelling went down, the chill subsided and the patient was all right. In fact the cancer stopped growing and the patient went home and lived quite comfortable for almost four years. It was then that we first started eliminating one substance, then another, until I found out which ingredient actually stopped the growth of the malignancy and could be given by injection, without causing any reaction. However, we found that this was not enough.
he other ingredients were necessary to purify the blood while the growth was being destroyed, so we decided that along with the injection., I would give the medicine orally. This brought quicker results than just giving it orally, as I had been doing up to that time.
Doctors then started sending their patients to me at my apartment until I had about thirty a day. I had to give up and leave the city because the other tenants in the apartment house where I was living objected, in any case I did not make any charge and could not afford to carry on there
o I went to Peterborough and rented a house .I no sooner moved in than the College of Physicians and Surgeons sent a policeman to issue a warrant for my arrest , when this man talked to me he said “ I am not going to issue this warrant. I am going back to talk to Dr. Noble, my Chief” I did not see him again. Next day I wrote to the Honourable Dr Robb Minister of Health and asked for a hearing. I received a letter back granting me a hearing on the following Monday at 2 PM. I contacted the doctors who had given me the patients. Five of them came with me, with about twelve patients. We were received very graciously at Queen’s Park by Dr. Robb The Honourable Dr. B T Mc Gee ( Deputy Minister and Dr. Cunningham of the Department of National Health and Welfare.
fter I had presented my case, Dr. Robb said I could carry on, providing that patients came to me with their doctors diagnoses and that I did not charge (supra ) He said that I would not be interfered with. I told him that my ambition was to prove Essiac treatment on its own merit and make it acceptable to the medical profession. I had become an independent research worker and he said he admired my courage so I started out again , quite proud and happy, never Dreaming of the opposition I would meet.
few days later I had a phone call from Dr. Albert Bastedo of Bracebridge (Ontario) who had sent me a patient with cancer of the bowel. Dr. Bastedo he was so impressed with the results of this case that he had gone before the Bracebridge Town Council and had persuaded them to offer me the Old British Lion Hotel building as a clinic, if I would come back to my home town to practice. He persuaded me to accept this offer. The mayor and Council were very enthusiastic and with their aid and that aid of friends, relatives and patients, I furnished an office, dispensary, reception room, and five treatment rooms. Here I worked for almost eight years “ Cancer Clinic” sign on the door
octors sent or brought their patients to me .Doctors from many parts of the United States came to watch me treat, to examine patient and observe results . Patients came from far in ambulances, but after having a few treatments, they were able to walk into the clinic by themselves They came from far and near. Here, almost eight years, I treated thousands of patients, most of them given up as hopeless, after everything in medical science had failed.
always had faith that if I could accumulate enough proof of the different kinds of cancer, demanded by the Cancer Society that they would eventually be glad to accept ESSIAC as a Treatment for cancer
did not know then of an organized effort to keep cancer cure from being discovered ( the same is still on going) At this stage I was beginning to feel the pressure brought to bear on the doctors who were giving diagnoses. Patients would come to the clinic without written diagnoses from their doctors, and since I just had permission to treat patient who came from their doctors with a written diagnose, I had to turn them away. They would beg me to treat them and no doubt brought pressure to bear on their family doctors, who would give them a diagnose reluctantly. It was very heartbreaking at times. Sometimes visiting doctors would examine these patients and give a written diagnose in pity for the patient.
ome people from Chicago, who knew of my work, persuaded Dr. John Wolfer of Northwestern University, Medical Division Alumni Association of Chicago, to have me treat patients in the Clinic under the observation of their doctors. Dr. B…. (a consultant) specialist ) took me to see Dr. Wolfer and read the histories of the cases I was to treat- all hopeless cases, I looked them over and asked. “ When would you like me to start” He looked surprised, because he had expected me to turn them down (so he told me later), When they arranged that I should be in Chicago and treat these patients under the observation of five doctors every Thursday , Dr. B…. asked me on the way back to my friends, why I had accepted these terrible cases. “ I will show results that will surprise them even in this late stage of the disease” I said “enough to interest the most skeptical of them” and I did. They later offered to open a clinic in the Passavant Hospital in Chicago for me, if I would stay in the United States.
For many years I took delegations and groups of cured patients to the Department of Health , always accompanied by doctors and members of the Council asking that my treatment be recognised
he Bill was presented by the Honourable Leopold Mc Caulley and J. Frank Kelly Liberal members of Parliament Three hundred patients, my pastor, the Mayors of Bracebridge and Huntsville and many prominent citizens accompanied me to a Legislative Committee of fifty nine members. In spite of all the evidence I had, I lost out by 3 votes. It was because of this Bill that the first Royal Cancer Commission of Ontario was formed (It came to light that the CMA (Canadian Medical Association)had debated my case with the legislature before my hearing and had promised that if the Bill was not passed they would set up a Commission and give my Essiac Treatment a fair investigation.
In my opinion that the hearing of my case before the Cancer Commission was one of the greatest farces ever perpetrated in the history of man (The Commission Hearing , original copy is on hand with the company who has the only true complete original ESSIAC Treatment”) .
ver three hundred and eighty patients came to be heard and the Commission limited the Hearing to forty nine patients. Then in the report, stated that I had only taken forty nine patient to be heard ( refer to official transcripts). That X – Ray reports were not acceptable as a diagnosis and that the forty nine doctors had made wrong or mistaken diagnoses It is a sad state of affairs if doctors can diagnose an affliction as “Cancer” and send the patient home with a few months (at most ) to live, if they are not cured. In the forty nine cases examined by the Ontario Cancer Commission, the majority of these had more that the diagnosis of one doctor; some of them had three or four doctors and were told they had cancer and were treated for malignancy before coming to me for Essiac Treatment.
he Cancer Commission, at the hearing, admitted that every patient presented had benefited or had been cured by ESSIAC; many of them with pathological findings and reports- but they said that the doctors had all been mistaken in diagnosing the cases. Over three hundred patients were waiting to be heard, but the Commission stated that they had seen enough to give a report.
hey made a big thing of my not giving the formula, but did not state that I had for years been offering to give it to them, provided they would admit some merit for Essiac on the clinical proof I presented and assure me that it would be used. Under these conditions I would have gladly given it to them, but they would not give me assurance that it would not be shelved, so I kept my secret and they just published that
“I refused to give up the formula”
Dr. Emma M Carson MD of Los Angeles examined over four hundred patients in my clinic and her letter for publication said:
| “ Several prominent physicians and surgeons who are quite familiar with the indisputable results obtained in response to Essiac treatment and who have also asserted their intense interest in Cancer research work, conceded to me that Rene M. Caisse ESSIAC Treatment is the most humane, satisfactory and frequently successful remedy for annihilation of cancer that they had found up to this time” |
r. B. L. Guyatt MD Curator and instructor of Anatomy at the University of Toronto followed my work for over three years, coming frequently to the clinic and examined patients, I will quote from his letter. ( on hand with the company who has the only true complete original formula of ESSIAC Treatment and all formulas plus the galenical formulations)
“ The first and most noticeable response observed in this clinic “ Caisse Clinic” waiting room is the cheerfulness and optimism of the treated patients. This fascinated me. The Treatment received appeared to be attacking the disability from the angle which had greatly interested me. In most cases, distorted countenances became normal and pain was reduced as treatment proceeded. The relief from pain is a noticeable feature, as pain in these cases is very difficult to control. On checking authentic cancer cases it was found that haemorrhage was readily brought under control in many difficult cases. Open lesions of lip and breasts responded to the treatment. Cancer of the cervix, rectum and bladder had been caused to disappear. Patient with cancer of the stomach, diagnosed by reputable physicians and surgeons have returned to normal activity. The number of patients treated in this clinic are many hundreds and the number responding wholly or in part, I do not know, but I do know that I have witnessed in this clinic a treatment which bring about restoration, through destroying the tumour tissue and supplying that something which improves the mental outlook of life and facilitates re-establishment of physiological function. It is my privilege to do all in my power to bring cancer sufferer, this remedy “ESSIAC” (note; not a drug) which has brought relief and restored health to many in the past.”
Essiac Ingredients
Despite the development of 6 and 8 herb Essiac teas recently, the 4 herb version remains as a staple. It has a proven record of cured patients since the late 1920′s. Brewing your own Essiac tea is favored by most upon ordering the herbs, which are sometimes packaged individually, or pre-mixed into one bag.
* 6 1/2 cups of burdock root (cut)
* 1 pound of sheep sorrel herb (powdered)
* 1/4 pound of slippery elm bark (powdered)
* 1 ounce of Turkish rhubarb root (powdered)
These amounts of ingredients combine to make 8 quarts or 2 gallons of the tea. Cutting each amount in half makes one gallon at a time. Some instructions say to mix all the ingredients well before placing them in water, store the dry herbal mix in a glass jar in a dark dry place, and take out one ounce per 32 ounces of water (one quart) at a time.
Which ever way you wish to parse it out, the herbs are boiled hard without a lid for 10 minutes, some say 20; then, cover with a lid and steep over night on the stove. In the morning, heat it up to steaming hot (not boiling), then let it settle and pour into glass or ceramic containers. Use stainless steel or cast iron pots for boiling, and glass or ceramic containers for storing. Keep the containers or container with the tea capped in a dark cool place until first used. After opening, it must be refrigerated.
The dosage depends on the condition. For immune tonic use or very mild ailments, 2 ounces once daily. Increase the frequency up to 3 times daily with up to 3 ounces each time according to the severity of the ailment, which is usually cancer. The refrigerated tea can be added to hot water or warmed up for consumption. Cancer patients undergoing other treatments, even with allopathic drugs, have used the tea as well.
However, cancer or AIDS should be treated holistically by abstaining as much as possible from toxic medicines, toxic foods, toxic household and cosmetic items, and toxic thinking. The cancer patient should also have a meatless diet of organic food and get as much sunshine and Vitamin D and C supplementation as possible. Using Essiac tea while indulging in old life style habits that probably started the cancer or any other disease is not the best way to heal.
Essiac Caveats
The quality of the ingredients is the most important aspect of beneficial Essiac. There are too many watered down versions out there. Dr. Glum has stated that some providers are using irradiated herbs and even replacing sheep sorrel herbs, a common weed declared as illegal for use in Canada, with curly dock, a weed similar to red sorrel. This is critical since it has been laboratory tested and proven that sheep sorrel is the actual cancer cell killer in Essiac Tea.
The other ingredients combine for a synergistic immune booster and blood purifier. Even as important is the fact that Rene Caisse used the whole sheep sorrel weed, roots and all. She discovered the roots to be very critical for sheep sorrel’s efficacy. Most Essiac herbal or ready made tea providers use only the leaves of sheep sorrel even if they do use the weed. It’s easier and cheaper to harvest the leaves from the weeds while leaving the roots intact to grow more leaves.
To avoid irradiation, order via commercial overland courier services, such as UPS and FedEx, not the postal service, which is required to irradiate herbs. Even if flown in by a commercial service, there is a strong chance of irradiation, especially if coming from another country. This is a problem with Turkish rhubarb root, which is not naturally indigenous to America.
However, there is a possibility of getting Turkish rhubarb root cultivated in North America, as well as the powdered sheep sorrel complete with roots. There are many people who have survived cancer, and a few have used Essiac to cure AIDS as well. Many have improved their overall health by using Essiac Tea as a tonic. Yet there are some who complain about little or no effect from Essiac.
This discrepancy points at least partially to the herb quality issue. The proper high quality 4 herb mixture has been effective on cancer, AIDS, and diabetic patients. Rene Caisse never compromised on the ingredients, and she could be stubborn about mixing protocols as well! It’s important that anyone using Essiac have the best ingredients the way Nurse Caisse did.
