In the 1920’s Canadian nurse Rene Caisse promoted Essiac tea as a natural cancer treatment, claiming that it was given to her by a patient who originally received it from an Ontario Ojibwa medicine man. We have formulated the same herbs into easy to take capsules, and recommend just one before breakfast for general cleansing, or 1 twice a day for chronic ailments.

MORE INFORMATION ON THIS AMAZING FORMULA
Essiac
One of the best known and most widely used herbal cancer remedies is essiac. It was first extensively used and promoted by an Ontario nurse, Rene Caisse (essiac reversed). One of her patients reported being healed of fulminant breast cancer by an herbal formula that an Ojibwa medicine man gave her in 1922. The original formula—which Caisse kept secret but used to treat hundreds of Canadian cancer patients – included a tea made from four dried herbs: burdock root, the inner bark of the slippery elm tree, sheep sorrel, and turkey (medicinal) rhubarb root. Newer formulations may also contain blessed thistle, cat’s claw, red clover, kelp, and watercress.
The effectiveness of the original herbal formula has been hotly debated for more than 50 years. Despite numerous inspiring testimonials and case reports promoting the nearly miraculous benefits of essiac, the preparation has undergone little scientific study. There are no published prospective controlled trials on the use of essiac to treat any form of pediatric cancer. In 1977, the Canadian government sponsored a five-year clinical trial on the treatment of advanced cancer in adults; essiac was neither curative nor palliative.
The usual adult dosage of essiac is as a tea taken twice daily, either two hours before or two hours after a meal. As a tincture, the dosage is 1 oz one to three times daily. Contamination of ingredients may occur. Allergic reactions are possible. Reported side effects of essiac include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, headache, and increased urination. Essiac should not be used by pregnant or nursing women, children younger than 2 years, those with known hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients, or patients with a history of renal stones.
While the data on essiac’s component herbs are variable, they are generally more extensive than published data on the compound itself.
• Burdock root (Arctium lappa) is eaten as a vegetable (gobo) in Japan. The German mystic and healer Hildegard of Bingen used it as a cancer treatment, and it is an ingredient in the Hoxsey herbal cancer tonic. One of burdock’s active ingredients, arctigenin, appears to have antimutagenic effects and inhibits tumor growth in vitro; one study reported necrosis of solid tumors in mice treated with burdock. Its effectiveness in treating pediatric cancer has not been evaluated.
• Burdock root may be confused with the similar-looking roots of Atropa belladonna during the harvesting process. Since much medicinal burdock is grown in Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Poland, and Hungary, where quality control is limited, consumers must be vigilant for atropine-type poisoning from contaminated lots. Herbalists traditionally recommend avoiding burdock during pregnancy and lactation, and in children younger than 2 years.
• Slippery elm bark (Ulmus flava)is a well-known demulcent that soothes inflamed mucous membranes. It is widely available in teas and lozenges for the symptomatic treatment of sore throats and upper respiratory infections. It has no known effect on the immune system or on cancer cells.
• Sheep sorrel (Rumex acetosella) is a traditional source of “spring greens.” The plant contains 7% to 15% tannins, powerful astringents that may cause upset stomach and renal and hepatic damage; 0.3% oxalic acid, which may lead to calcium oxalate renal stones in persons with a history of kidney stones; vitamin C; and small amounts of anthraquinone glycosides, which may cause diarrhea. No studies have evaluated its effectiveness in treating pediatric cancer. Sorrel is better known as a cause of hay fever. Allergic reactions are common.
• Rhubarb root (Rheum palmatum) and its relative, R officinale, have been extensively used and investigated as medicinal agents in Asia. Rhubarb is traditionally used as a diuretic and an ulcer remedy. Recently, it has undergone investigation as an antimicrobial agent and as a treatment for chronic renal failure. In small amounts, it helps treat diarrhea, but in larger doses, due to its concentration of anthraquinone compounds, it acts as a laxative. Rhubarb root also contains tannins and oxalic acid. It is not recommended for use during pregnancy or lactation or in children under 2 years old. It should be avoided in patients with intestinal obstruction and in those with a history of renal stones. Its interaction with standard chemotherapeutic agents has not been studied, but there are no reports of adverse interactions.
