 | Ingredients: Burdock, Rhubarb (Turkey Rhubarb), Slippery Elm, Sheep Sorrel. Usage: Rene Caisse was a nurse who began using this herbal formula in 1922 to treat individuals with cancer. Essiac (Cassie spelled backwards) is an Ojibway Indian herbal formula. Caisse never claimed that it was a cure for cancer, but that it stimulates the bodys own self-healing capabilities. She noticed that when it was taken prior to surgery, there was less danger of metastases and recurrence, as well as easier removal of the cancerous growths. Some patients did not need surgery once they were receiving Cassies treatments. Essiac activates the bodys own natural defenses without becoming habit-forming. Most patients experience less pain and overall improvement with the consistent use of Essiac; some patients continue to live for many years in good health. These four herbs (Burdock, Slippery Elm, Sheep Sorrel, and Turkish Rhubarb) each have significant therapeutic effects on the body , and when they are combined, there is a synergistic effect. This formula helps to cleanse the blood, normalize the enzymes, promotes cellular repair, and aids effective assimialtion and elimination. Usage: 2oz 1-3 times per day. preferrably 2 hours before meals or upon rising and again at bedtime. Dose can be increased for short periods of time and then reduced as needed.
