Always consult your health professional
before starting any dietary program.
Essiac
Tea
The Essiac herbal formula
was discovered by Nurse
Rene Caisse. She helped
hundreds of cancer patients
at her clinic in Bracebridge,
Ontario, Canada. One
of Caisse's patients
was her own mother,
Friseide Caisse, who
was diagnosed with liver
cancer at the age of
72. Her mother's physician
reportedly said she
had only days to live.
Thanks to Essiac her
cancer was gone and
she lived to be 90.
You can download a free
PDF of the complete
History
of Essiac here.
Not recommended to brain
tumor patients:
Rene Caisse noticed
that many times before
the tumor would break
down it would initially
grow instead. To the
brain tissue, this can
be extremely damaging
and affect mental or
body functions, since
during this rapid growth
some areas of the brain
can suffer excess pressure.

Flor-Essence
Herbal Tea
Flor-Essence was created
years after Essiac tea
but it contains the
same 4 main ingredients,
including Burdock root,
Indian rhubarb root,
Sheep sorrel and Slippery
elm (the inner bark).
It is said that when
these herbs are mixed
in exact amounts, the
mixtures make the immune
system stronger, have
anti-inflammatory effects
(decrease swelling,
redness, and pain),
and show anticancer
activity.
See
warning to brain tumor
patients above, under
Essiac Tea. |

Pau
d'Arco or Lapacho
Tea
Laboratory studies
suggest that lapacho
and other compounds
from Pau d'Arco may
have effects against
cancer, as well as
other illnesses. Pau
d'Arco tea or tincture
concoctions have had
beneficial effects
for cancer victims,
including complete
remission of tumors.
In the US Pau d-Arco
tea is affordable
and sold at natural
food stores. Not
compatible with Poly-MVA. |

Mushrooms
Mushrooms
like Shiitake, Maitake,
Reishi, Chaga and
Cordyceps contain
many polysaccharides,
molecules that have
been shown in lab
studies to have beneficial
effects in fighting
cancer cells.
Historically,
the use of medicinal
mushrooms dates back
to ancient Asia. Currently,
manufacturers are
investing in controlled
clinical trials to
clearly demonstrate
the general health
benefits of mushrooms,
and to identify the
specific biochemical
reactions that lead
to enhanced immune
reactions.
Shiitake mushrooms
are the easiest to
find at natural food
stores and are a common
ingredient in many
Asian recipes.
Animal
studies with Maitake
mushrooms have indicated
that natural killer
(NK) cells, the body's
first line of defense
against disease, display
increased activity
levels of more than
80 percent, while
cytokine secretion
and T-cell production
are also enhanced.
There has been only
one human study, which
demonstrated a reduction
of tumors in breast,
liver and lung cancer
patients and reduction
in chemotherapy side
effects, including
nausea, vomiting and
pain.
Recent studies in
New Zealand show that
a combination of Reishi
and Cordyceps extracts
had beneficial effects
on the quality of
life for some advanced
cancer patients. Researchers
believe that a mixture
of the active ingredients
from different mushrooms
maximizes the immune
response by providing
multiple stimuli to
the body's natural
defenses.

Goldenseal
Root
Goldenseal is a wild perennial
herb native to North America.
It has been used for centuries
as an herbal remedy for
everything from cuts and
scrapes to cancer. Goldenseal
contains a chemical, berberine,
which has anti-microbial
properties. It's a natural
antibiotic, immune stimulant
and digestive aid.
The
use of goldenseal was
taught to early American
colonists by Cherokee
medicine men and women,
who used it as a cure
for cancer. It has also
been used by successful
physicians in many cancer
treatments, including
Dr. John Pattison, who
initially used bloodroot
but later switched to
Goldenseal because he
regarded it as clinically
superior. |
