Easiac (Essiac) Information

The History

This formula originated with the Ojiibway Indian tribe from Ontario, Canada many years ago. It consists of burdock root, sheep sorrel, slippery elm bark, and Indian (also known as Turkey) rhubarb, mixed in certain proportions.

This formula started when a medicine man prepared this formula in the 1800's for a woman suffering from breast cancer. She drank the tea daily, and slowly her tumor diminished altogether, leaving only scar tissue where it had once been.

In 1922, a nurse from Canada named Rene Caisse heard of this remarkable herbal formula. Rene gave it to her aunt, who recovered from inoperable cancer after taking it. Doctors began referring their hopeless cases to her. After many experiments, Rene refined the formula so it could be taken with no side effects.

For many years following, Nurse Caisse ran a compassionate cancer clinic charging no fee. Because she was not a doctor and her treatment was unproven (although she always kept her own records), she was continually threatened with arrest for practicing without a license. Although she had thousands of supporters, she finally closed the clinic.

When Rene died in 1978, she had been using this formula successfully for over 50 years. The Canadian Ministry of Health destroyed all of her records. The formula was later released by close friends that had worked closely with Rene.

Today, the use of this herbal formula is widespread throughout Canada and the United States. Many books and articles have been published reporting a multitude of incredible success stories. The FDA declines to study or approve such a formula because its pure plant base cannot be patented or synthetically reproduced to cover their expenses and profitability, considering the billions of dollars spent on cancer research.

The Four Herbs Used

The following four herbs are the only ingredients used in this remarkable herbal formula. The proportions used are blended for very specific reasons.

burdock (root)
Used for centuries as a powerful blood purifier and may clear congestion in circulatory, lymphatic, respiratory, and urinary systems. It stimulates the production of bile and helps liver function, relieving liver disorders and improving digestion. It can help detoxify the kidneys and gall bladder. Burdock root is rich in vitamin A, B-complex, and vitamins E and P. It also contains high amounts of chromium, cobalt, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, silicon, zinc , selenium, sodium and potassium. It helps eliminate free-radicals. Insulin, which is a principle ingredient, helps to strengthen the organs and regulates blood sugar metabolism.
slippery elm (bark)
One of nature's miracle cleansers, dissolving mucous that has been deposited in organ tissue, lymph glands, and nerve channels. It is rich in mucilage, lubricating and protecting the membrane linings in the body, especially damaged and inflamed tissues. This inner bark is rich in calcium, magnesium, and vitamins A, B, C, and K. It also helps neutralize acids from indigestion.
sheep sorrel
Traditionally used as a folk remedy for cancer, sheep sorrel helps in attacking and breaking down tumors. It also helps relieve internal ulcers, and many skin diseases. Sheep Sorrel has high amounts of Vitamins A, B complex, C, D, E, K, P, and Vitamin U. It is rich in a wide variety of minerals, including carotenoids and chlorophyll, and several organic acids. It can help to inhibit chromosome damage, increase your resistance to X-rays, and reduce the damaging effects of radiation. It also helps to raise the oxygen levels in the blood.
turkey rhubarb
The small amount of this herb used helps to purge the body of bile, parasites, and stagnated food by stimulating the gall duct to expel toxic waste matter and cleansing the liver. It can improve digestion and increase the appetite. Rhubarb root extract has been shown to have antibiotic, anti-microbial, and anti-tumor properties. It contains both vitamins and minerals, and a remarkable substance called rhein, which inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria in the intestines.
