Hi Smley...Essiac is highly regarded by complementary and alternative practitioners for most types of cancer. I use it and know of others as well who have had good results using it in conjunction with diet and supplements. I have the recipe for homemade which is much more economical than buying it. The ingredients can be purchased at most health food stores that sell bulk. I make a gallon at a time and it stores well in the fridge. I'll attach it here. If it doesn't come through clearly you could send me a private message and I'll resend it that way.
Blessings.Shemay

Anyone with this kind of cancer including Bile Duct Cancer had any success with Essiac or Flor essence? Not sure if the pre made Flor -essence is as effective as brewing the tea packets yourself. How about Essiac in a pill form? anyinfo is appreciated.
