Dear Jeanniec:
I read with great interest the story about your uncle. My mother was diagnosed with advanced pc just over three months ago. We have been given very little hope and very few options. She did do the Budwig regimen for awhile but stopped b/c she could not stand the taste and she is taking a tea (Esiak) but I fear it is not the "real thing". It does come in a dark bottle but says right on the label it is 15% preservatives. My question - how is your uncle doing now? I am frustrated by the number of unethical people out there who are trying to cash in on the Essiac name by selling inferior products. Any advise you could give me would be greatly appreciated. I hope your unlce is doing well.
Hello! There is much hope for your mother! After my uncle diligently took the flax oil and essiac for four months, his tumor was almost gone. So, he decided to go ahead with the Whipple procedure. His doctors were floored. They had never seen a case like this in advanced pancreatic cancer. Granted he did have chemotherapy, in which the essiac helped the side effects. At the moment he is cancer-free and still taking the flax oil and essiac in smaller doses.
He orders his essiac from the site http://anursesherbaltea.com . If you haven't already check out http://essiacinfo.org as well.
Even though your mom doesn't like the flax oil(partnered with a milk protein), she should take it and take it religiously along with the essiac. If she only takes it sometimes it won't work My uncle believes the flax oil is what helped him most. Look up the "Budwig diet" and see what wonderful results Johanna Budwig has gotten in her practice. It is amazing. She's been nominated for seven nobel prizes for her work.
I understand in the world we live in, natural remedies seem to be catagorized with wives tales. My uncle was never interested in herbal medicine. His wife is a nurse and was against him taking the essiac and the flax. He had no other options in the matter though. At first, doctors just told him to go home and gather his family because he had as little as six weeks, but maybe a few months. That was over a year and half ago and now he is vibrant and cancer free. I believe that they wanted to do chemo after they found out that he had really good health insurance. They waited an entire month to start it, after telling him that he had six weeks to live.
Good luck to you and your mother! Please ask if you have any other inquiries.
Take care.
