DM me "RECIPE" and I will send it to you!
This 4 Herb Formula was popularized by local Bracebridge, Ontario, Canada nurse (my hometown) in the 1930âs and 40âs. She had a cancer clinic and dedicated her life to curing people of cancer with this old Ojibway recipe.
Caisse struggled to get the medical profession to consider the herb mixture as an option to radiation and chemotherapy. When the Ontario government forced her out of business, Essiac went underground, the formula quietly kept alive by Caisse and her closest confidantes and assistants. Though Rene died at the age of 90 in 1976 Essiac continued to be available to those who knew the formula or someone who did.
Mary MacPherson and Sheila Snow who both learned from Rene how to make the formula and exactly what herbs to use, then taught Barb Andrews, who then taught me. My Grandmother who was a farm girl from Victoria Harbour area also used Essiac made by Mary to rid her cancer of the lymph nodes. She was to go in for testing 2 weeks after they âdiscoveredâ cancer and within 2 weeks when she returned for testing the cancer was gone, after her daily dosage of Essiac. My Mother who died of Cancer in 1991, was refused the Essiac in the hospital, the doctor did not let her take it, and she was not well enough to leave the hospital. A lot of the work I do is connected to my love and experience with losing my precious mother at the age of 7.
Here are the herbs in the formula
- Burdock Root
- Slippery Elm Bark
- Sheep Sorrel
- Turkish Rhubarb Root
The exact proportions are extremely important. I have the proportions listed on my blog on my website here: https://www.lovenorth.ca/lnblog/e-s-s-i-a-c
