Tea with a history - Available November 1st - A modern health marvel proven in clinical trials to be the most effective.
THE HISTORY OF ESSIAC TEA
It is thought that Essiac tea was used by Native Americans for the purpose of treating various maladies. Rene Caisse, a nurse, was given this formula by one of her patients who was using it to treat her own cancer. Although her cancer was cured, this version of the formula did not help a good many others who tried it.
Modifications to the Formula had to be Made
After many years of research, doctors eventually developed an injectable version of the formula which proved to work better. All of this information has been documented in testimonials written by Rene Caisse as well as signed papers by staff physicians.
After several attempts by Rene Caisse and Dr. Brusch’s brother to get permission for doctors to inject the authentic formula, the Canadian Government denied their requests. The Canadian Ministry of Health had strict rules regarding injectable medications.
Rene Caisse refused to give up. In 1959, she and Dr. Charles Brusch of the Brusch Medical Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts set out to create and oral version to be taken in tea form, since there were fewer government regulations for this form. The four herb formula was never meant to be taken orally.
Rene Caisse Signs Rights over to Resperin Corp.
In 1977, Rene Caisse signed over a four herb formula to Resperin Corp. of Canada under the agreement that Resperin would complete clinical tests on the formula. If the contract was breached, sole rights of the formula would be handed over to Dr. Charles Brusch, who had already performed clinical tests with Rene Caisse. It turns out that Resperin breached the contract by never completing the tests, but the formula still remained with them.
Dr. Charles Brusch and the Authentic Essiac Tea Formula
After further research, an oral tea formula was developed that contained eight herbs, including the four herbs from the formula that was designed to be injected. Exclusive rights to the formula were left to Dr. Charles Brusch in 1977 (a year prior to Rene Caisse's death). This formula was proven to be the most effective formula to date.
The eight herb formula Rene Caisse revealed to Dr. Charles Brusch contained: Burdock Root, Blessed Thistle, Kelp, Red Clover, Sheep Sorrel, Slippery Elm Bark, Turkish Rhubarb Root, and Watercress. Brusch performed eight years of clinical research on this oral form of tea. He even took it himself when he fell ill with cancer. Brusch made the claim that this eight herb tea alone cured his cancer.
Although Dr. Brusch and Caisse experimented with other forms of Essiac such as tablets and tinctures, nothing proved as effective as the tea form (sometimes referred to as the juice form).
Rene Caisse passed away in 1978, and Dr. Brusch passed away in 1993. The eight herb formula that was found to be superior in the Brusch clinical trials is the most effective form of Essiac tea available and THIS is what we provide.
ESSIAC: CANCER'S HERBAL ENEMY
Essiac and cancer has been the topic of a great deal of discussion over the last several years. It has been noted by thousands of individuals worldwide that their recovery and overall health regarding cancer has been remarkable following a specific regime of Essiac tea. Thousands of testimonials do not lie.
Traditional therapy such as chemotherapy kills the cancer cells, but it also kills good cells since it cannot differentiate between the two. This, in turn, can make the body weaker.
This tea is designed to not only deplete the body of the toxins which are causing illness, but also boost the immune system making the body stronger, therefore, more able to fight disease.
Although some individuals choose only to drink Essiac tea for their illness, there has been NO reports or evidence that Essiac tea interferes with chemotherapy or radiation treatments. In fact, it may enhance the effects of traditional treatments since it strengthens the immune system. Those who have used chemotherapy treatments know how fatigued they become. Essiac tea provides increased energy levels which is much needed at this time.
WHAT ESSIAC TEA PROMISES TO DO:
1. Prevents the build up of excess fatty deposits in artery walls, heart, the kidney and the liver.
2. Regulates cholesterol levels by transforming sugars and fat into energy.
3. Destroys parasites in the digestive system and also throughout the body.
4. Counteracts the harmful effects of aluminum, lead and mercury poisoning that can cause illness and disease.
5. Strengthens and tightens muscles, organs and tissues.
6. Helps bones, joints, ligaments, lungs and membranes remain strong and flexible, more durable and less vulnerable to stress.
7. Nourishes and stimulates the brain and nervous system.
8. Promotes the absorption of fluids in the body tissues.
9. Removes toxic accumulations in the fat, lymph, bone marrow, bladder and alimentary canal.
10. Neutralizes acids, absorbs toxins in the bowel and helps eliminate both.
11. Clears the respiratory channels by dissolving and expelling mucus.
12. Relieves the liver of its burden of detoxification by converting fatty toxins into water-soluble substances that can be easily eliminated through the kidneys.
13. Assists the liver to produce lecithin, which forms part of the myelin sheath ( a fatty material that encloses nerve fibers). Lecithin is very important for nerve health.
14. Reduces, perhaps eliminates, heavy metal deposits in tissues, especially those surrounding the joints, to relieve inflammation and stiffness.
15. Improves the functions of the pancreas and spleen by increasing the effectiveness of insulin.
16. Purifies and cools the blood.
17. Increases red blood cell production and keeps them from rupturing.
18. Increases the body's ability to utilize oxygen by raising the oxygen level in tissue cells.
19. Maintains the balance between potassium and sodium within the body so the liquid fluid inside and outside each cell is regulated: in this way, cells are nourished with nutrients and cleansed.
20. Converts calcium and potassium oxalates into a harmless form by making them solvent in the urine, and regulating the amount of oxalic acid delivered to the kidneys, thus reducing the risk of stone formulation in the gall bladder, kidneys or urinary tract.
21. Protects against toxins entering the brain.
22. Protects the body against radiation and X-rays.
23. Relieves pain, increases appetite and provides more energy with a sense of well being.
24. Speeds up wound healing by regenerating the damaged area.
25. Increases the production of antibodies like lymphocytes and T-cells in the thymus gland, defenders of our immune system.
26. Protects the cells against free radicals.
27. Increases the appetite for healthful foods.
28. Decreases sugar cravings due to improved blood sugar control.
29. Increases energy levels and increases one's sense of well being.

ESSIAC TEA DOSAGE INSTRUCTION GUIDE FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN
Dosages are based on your health condition. For example, individuals with cancer will take the Aggressive Dose while those who are healthy and want to prevent illness will take the Maintenance Dose.
It is advised to consult your health practitioner for dosage recommendations after reviewing this guide. Your dosages will change on your road to optimal health.
ADULT DOSAGES:
The Aggressive Dose is recommended if you are trying to improve your health. This is the standard recommended dosage if you have (or suspect that you have) cancer or another health problem. For best results, stay on the Aggressive program for at least 6 months. After that time period, you may choose to switch to a Maintenance Dose of 3 oz. per day if your test results have returned to normal. If the original condition persists, continue on the Aggressive Dose until your condition improves and you are satisfied with the results. Keep in mind that many conditions worsen if you are not taking this tea, so sometimes just staying the same is a positive step.
AGGRESSIVE DOSE:
We recommend 9 oz. per day, taken in three separate 3 oz. doses. 6-12 oz. may be used based on bodyweight, taken in three separate doses of 2-4 oz. each.
All doses should be taken on an empty stomach. This product was tested by people with an empty stomach, and this will ensure maximum absorption of your tea dosage. For best results, avoid eating two hours before and one hour after.
*Essiac tea can be taken along with traditional cancer treatments without interfering with those treatments. If you are undergoing chemotherapy and/or radiation, be aware that chemotherapy and radiation can lessen the effects of Essiac Tea. If you plan to continue your chemotherapy and/or radiation while using the tea, you might consider taking up to 6 oz. three times per day.
MAINTENANCE/PREVENTATIVE DOSE:
This dosage is 3 oz. of tea per day, and can be taken all at once. Remain on the Maintenance dose for at least 6 months AFTER your test results have returned to normal. Many people choose to continue the Maintenance dose indefinitely to maintain their good health. Some also take a Maintenance dose as a daily preventative supplement, even though they have no health problems. This powerful tea is a ‘superfood’, rich in nutrients which will help prevent illness. The preventative dose continually detoxifies your system, improving overall health. This is healthy and safe for the long term according to our data.

TEA INGREDIENTS
Blessed Thistle is used for digestive problems such as gas, constipation and upset stomach. This herb is also used to treat liver and gallbladder diseases.
Burdock Root is a mild diuretic. It increases the production of both urine and sweat, potentially making it useful in treating swelling and fever. Burdock Root might play a role in preventing liver damage caused by alcohol, chemicals or medications. The exact reason for this protective effect is not known, but it is thought to involve opposition of a chemical process called oxidation, which is a reaction that occurs in the body during normal metabolism. One result of oxidation is the release of free radicals, which are chemicals that may suppress immune function and have been linked with cancer. Antioxidants such as Burdock Root may protect body cells from damage caused by oxidation.
Kelp is a sea vegetable that is a concentrated source of minerals, including iodine, potassium, magnesium, calcium, andiron. Kelp as a source of iodine assists in making thyroid hormones, which are necessary for maintaining normal metabolism in all cells of the body. This increases energy levels, boosts the immune system and makes it easier to maintain a healthy body weight.
Red Clover is a source of many valuable nutrients, including calcium, chromium, magnesium, niacin, phosphorous, potassium, thiamine and Vitamin C. Red Clover is also a rich source of isoflavones, which are water-soluble chemicals that act like estrogens in the body. The isoflavones isolated from Red Clover have been studied for their effectiveness in treating some forms of cancer. It is thought that the isoflavones prevent the proliferation of cancer cells and that they may even destroy some cancer cells.
Sheep Sorrel contains an abundance of oxalic acid, sodium, potassium, iron, manganese, phosphorous, Beta Carotene and Vitamin C. Sheep Sorrel is a mild diuretic, mild antiseptic and a mild laxative. These properties make Sheep Sorrel useful for ridding the body of toxins.
Slippery Elm Bark has been used as a poultice for cuts and bruises, and also for treating aching joints due to gout, arthritis or other causes. This herb also helps to alleviate sore throats. Slippery Elm Bark is an active ingredient in throat lozenges. Since sore throat and cough are often linked, Slippery Elm Bark has also been used in cough remedies. It also can alleviate both constipation and diarrhea by regulating the digestive tract.
Turkish Rhubarb Root is a detoxifying herb and is world famous for its healing properties. Turkish Rhubarb Root purges the body of bile, parasites and stagnated food by stimulating the gall duct to expel toxic waste matter. It has been shown to alleviate chronic liver problems by cleansing the liver. Turkish Rhubarb root improves digestion and increases the appetite for healthful foods. It has also been shown to help heal ulcers, alleviate disorders of the spleen and colon, relieve constipation and help heal hemorrhoids and bleeding in the upper digestive tract.
Watercress is abundant in Vitamin C and is used as a general tonic; its bitter taste is thought to stimulate the appetite and improve digestion. It can be used to alleviate nervous conditions, constipation, and liver disorders. Watercress is a popular cough and bronchitis remedy. It contains a remarkable substance called rhein, which appears to inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria in the intestines. It is believed that rhein is also effective against Candida Albicans (yeast), fever, inflammation and pain.
TESTIMONIALS
My cancer levels CA-125 were over1290. I was retaining fluid and needed to have the excess fluid removed every month. The procedure was very painful and I was desperate. I found Essiac tea and have been on it for two months. When I started the tea the oncologist had given me six months to live.
My cancer levels went from 1290 to 700 within two months of drinking the tea. My CT-scan is clean and clear except for one lymph node, which has a cancerous tumor. However, this tumor has decreased from 10mm to 6mm just in two months! It's a miracle!”

“My best friend was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in 2003. She was sick with infections and fevers almost all of the time. She also developed anemia (her red blood cells were very low). Upon her practitioner's recommendation she began to take Essiac tea along with chemotherapy.
After four months on the tea, to her surprise her body seemed to have rid itself of the leukemia cells. The hematologist found her completely normal when he did a bone marrow aspiration! We went to a pathologist as well to confirm the diagnosis, and he agreed that the
cancer was gone.”
