Essaic Tea

hi there, We just started essiac tea today. We heard about if from a man of 45 years of age who had just about died from chemotherapy. He quit chemo and went on a organic healthy diet and drinks essaic tea 1oz. 2 times a day. He had colon cancer and tumors on outside of lung and I believe his kidney. He is totally cancer and tumor free. It cant hurt to try. My husband is 38 and has a brain tumor. We are giving it a try.

Essiac tea is great!

After my diagnosis of breast cancer almost 12 years ago, I underwent radiation but refused to do chemo. Instead, I, too, took Essiac every day for almost 2 years.

i'm unaware of essiac being all that helpful. I've been doing a combination of homeopathy and naturopathy in massachusetts. more is available at www.osteosarcomasupport.org homeopathy with the method from the book a homeopathic approach to cancer by c. coulter and dr. ramakrishnan is very helpful.
overall, protolytic enzymes and bromelain and curcumin are markedly effective. things like ellagic acid may lower serum vegf levels if you test. increasing nk cells, macrophages, b cells, and others requires testing from immunosciences which is on the webpage.
mushroom extracts are expensive and should only be purchased from jhs. also immunokino ahcc may belp nk cells, but might not.

Hi Meredith, a friend of ours gave us Essiac Tea but we were not sure whether we should use it. Some of the websites I found have mentioned that Essiac can cause problems and even if not used properly can cause colon cancer. My husband has endured five cycles of chemo and does not want anymore treatments. We are wanting to try another approach. How much did you take and did you drink it on an empty stomach. I also read that you can become nauseous if you take it with food. We will most likely use it but I thought I would ask your opinion on proper way of using it. Thanks for your help. Eileen

Hi,
My husband was diagnosed with a grade 3 anaplastic astrocytoma last Sept. The dr's told him that it was inoperable because it was like a octypus entangled in brain tissue. He did the 6 weeks of radiation inconjunction with chemo every day. He is continuing to do the stronger chemo 5 days of the month. But, the dr's also said that they do not intent to shrink or dissolve the tumor. Only kill the cells so that it could not/would not reproduce. My husband started drinking Essiac Tea in December. He has not had near the side effects from the chemo, his energy has increased tremendously and the tumor has shrunk over half the size it was before.
We decided to go ahead and continue with the chemo and the tea because the tea will also help to repair any good cells that the chemo begins to damage. To be honest with you, I don't know if its the tea or the chemo that has helped my husband but its like he has a completly new outlook on life now. He swears by the tea and is convinced that his next MRI in Dec. he will be tumor free!
He read anything and everything he could about the tea. He has found a website where we buy the powdered tea in bulk form and it is cheaper than buying thru a health food store. It has become a family event to go in the kitchen every 2-3 weeks and mix up some tea for him.

Hi,

My husband has had prostate cancer for the last four years. He has done all the standard treatments, radiation, hormone treatments. A couple of months ago the cancer started to invade his bones. I started looking for something, anything that might work. I found the bulk tea eight herb essiac. This is said to be the best the eight vs the four herb. He has been drinking it for about eight weeks now.
He has been on chemo for the last seven weeks. He has little side effects from the chemo. He had other little aches and pain that have just disappeared. He has lots more energy. His hair started to fall out after the first chemo treatment. He shaved his head so it would not be patchy. He has hair already and it is not falling out. His doctor is amazed that he is not having but very little side effects from the chemo.
We will never know for sure if is the essiac, but in the battle for extra life it is well worth it. We pay about seventy four dollars for a six month supply of essiac at bulk-essiac-tea.

Good luck to everyone out there that is battling this terrible diease.

I was told that I had a mass in the upper right lung lobe. After reseaching extensively I decided not to go thru the procedures that would have diagnosed what it was, because of the possible complications just from this. I then decided to try some alternatives for about 3 months before doing anything conventional. I used Essiac Tea, Flaxseed Oil with cottage cheese, graviola, selenium, Sams formula, and others! During this 3 months trial I lost some weight, coughed up gristle like stuff from my lungs, and detoxed good! I them quit taking everyting except the Flaxseed Oil & cottage cheese which I still have for breakfast every morning. And, it is now almost 6 months and am doing ok as far as I can tell. Have also had extensive tests for almost anything that you can think of including the AMAS blood test, twice, for cancer, and nothing shows up as unusual. Reaseach and use these things as you are supposed to and probebly you will have postive results! Use your search engine to find Beckwith, Budwig, Henderson and others and read.
This will give hope somethimes where no hope is, because it has worked and been attributed to cures many 1000's of times. But you have to use them!And, don't forget prayer! The ONE who made you can cure you!! Good Luck & GOD Bless!

My brother has cancer and I would like to get him this Essiac Tea that you are talking about. Also how can I get all the things you was listed there that you are using for your recovery? I have no clue and want him to try a alternative method becasue this is his second bout with chemo. Thanks for any helo you can give me. My brother has Hodgkins and it has returned after 3 years, it is now progressive. Thanks.

Will certainly try to help you, just as I was helped when I ask for it on this board.
I understand your confused mind and even the panicky feelings that you have at a time like this.
The Essiac Tea should be bought from a health food store. Buy the herbs, already prepared, and follow the instructions on boiling them to make the tea and storing it. DO NOT purchase the already made tea.
The FlaxSeed Oil w/lignans should also be purchased from a health food store, and must be kept in a refrigerated unit, at the store and at home. NEVER purchase the oil off a shelf, and never use capsules or other forms of it.
It must be shaken extremely well before use.
To start I used 2 tablespoons full of it on about 5 or 6 teaspoons of cottage cheese and mix in the bowl well. I use it like this but if you want to you can add some fruit such as pineapple, strwberries, blueberries, etc. And, yes, you must use cottage cheese only. Use this 2 times a day, on an empty stomach and allow at least two hours before ingesting anything else.

The Essiac Tea should be started with 1/2 ounce and worked up to 2 or 3 ounces 2 or 3 times dailey, as it can be tolerated. It is kind of nasty tasting and not mixed with anything else.
Also take it on an empty stomach and allow an hour before ingesting anything else.

Use your search engine for this and you will find lot's of reference's to it That will help you with it.

Also, using your search engine, search for The Beckwith Family, JoHanna Budwig, Alternative treatments for Cancer, etc., and you will find lot's of help. But be careful, lot's of this stuff is pure crap. You will be able after you do enough seaching to smell out the good stuff.

Hope I have helped some, and if you think that I might help again dont hesitate to contact me.

Also, look at www.worldprayerteam.org!

Good luck and GOD Bless!

Thank you so much for your information. I will certainly give all of this to my brother. I am having a problem getting the Essiac Tea though. I don;t know what is real tea and what is not. A company in Canada claims that they have the only original formula. I have found a few online places that claim to have the tea but how do I know it is real or not? If anyone who reads this can tell me where they get their tea, that would surely help me. David, thanks so much for your help. You will be in my prayers. I will kepp you informed of what I have found. Have a great day and good luck to you.
