Why is there a four herb formula & and eight herb formula?
The original formula given to Rene Caisse consisted of four herbs. Many herbalists today use this shortened version, which is available as public domain. This version contains Sheep Sorrell, Burdock Root, Slippery Elm Bark and Turkish Rhubarb Root. There are still many companies operating today that make this original version available for sale. You can even go on the Internet and see the formula and for those adventurous enough, can buy the herbs and blend it yourself!
While in Canada, nurse Caisse began experimenting with the formula in conjunction with Dr. R. O. Fisher. She continued testing other herbs with the original four, until she left Canada and partnered with Dr. Charles Brusch (noted scientist and personal physician to President John F. Kennedy) in 1959. Nurse Caisse spent 8 years at the Brusch Medical Research Center in Cambridge, MA. working with Dr. Brusch to create the most effective formula for Essiac, which is now the eight herb Essiac. This eight-herb formula is proprietary, and it is this formula we supply to you.
Why is the eight herb formula the best choice for me?
There is nothing wrong with the original four-herb formula and thousands have used it successfully. The eight years of scientific experiments and continued testing by Dr. Brusch and Nurse Rene Caisse has established, without question, this eight herb formula to be superior to the original four herb recipe and Dr. Brusch has stated: “Clinically, on patients suffering from pathologically proven cancer, our Essiac reduces pain and causes a recession in the growth; patients have gained weight and shown an improvement in their general health….. Remarkably beneficial results were obtained even on those cases at the “end of the road” where it proved to prolong life and the quality of that life……the doctors do not say the Essiac is a cure, but they do say it is of benefit.”
It is important to note that through clinical testing; the additional four herbs that have been added augment. modify and improve the functionality of the original formula, prove to be far superior in terms of effectiveness and yield the best results.
How does The Miracle of Essiac work?
The secret is the synergistic blend of various herbs. It has been known for generations that in Europe, Sheep Sorrel has been used to break down tumors, Slippery Elm has been used to regulate the digestive tract and Watercress has been an effective general tonic, abundant in Vitamin C. The Burdock Root is a powerful blood purifier and treatment for swelling and fever. Red Clover is a rich source of isoflavens, which have been studied for their effectiveness in treating some forms of cancer. Turkish Rhubarb Root helps to cleanse the liver and detoxify the colon and Blessed Thistle is most effective in relieving liver congestion. Kelp is a rich source of minerals including iodine to maintain a healthy thyroid, effective metabolism and boost our immune system.
These organic herbs, in a proprietary blend, actually cleanse and detoxify our bodies by eliminating free radicals and toxins that invade our cellular structure and bring our system into proper ph balance. When toxins are flushed from our body, it allows our digestive and immune system to operate at optimal functionality.
Essiac does not cure disease but enables the body to cure itself of disease.
