ESSIAC: NATURE'S CURE FOR CANCER ---•..".."..".."._ .. _-~-~_ An interview with Dr. Gary L. Glum. By Elisabeth Robinson Elisabeth Robinson: To begin with, Dr. Glum, can you tell us a little about how you became interested in the story you te'll in Calling of an Angel, and how you learned about Rene Caisse and her work? Dr. Gary Glum: A personal friend of mine knew this woman, whose name I have promised not to reveal, who was living in 'Detroit, Michigan. Twenty years ago she had been diagnosed with cervical cancer in a Detroit hospital where she was eventually given up as incurable and terminal. She was given about ten days to live. She convinced her husband to make a trip to Bracebridge, Canada where she went to see Rene Caisse. She was treated with the herbal remedy developed by Rene -Essiac -and in a short time she didn't have a cancer cell in her body. So after that time this woman began dedicating her life to disseminatiug information about Essiac in Ithe United States. When I met her, she was the only person in posses sion of the original herbal formula who would relinquish it I got the formula for Essiac from hel'. That's how it began. When I started, all I had was a piece of paper. [thought, what am I going to do with this? I decided the best way to go would be to find the information behind Essiac and put it in book form and ibring it to the world. I learned about Rene Caisse from Mary McPherson who was a very close personal friend of ReO(~'s ... not only a friend but also a patient. Mary's mother and her husband were also patients. They were all treated for cancer and cured by Rene. Mary worked with Rene beginning in t.® 1930s anq she !yld in her possession all these documents that had to do with Essiac over the 40 years Rene administered it. All the documents Rene had were destroyed by the Canadian Ministry of Health & Welfare at the time of her death in 1978. They burned all that information in fifty-five gallon drums behind her home. ER: Why? GG: Because they don't want this information in the lLands of the public or the press or anybody else. They indeed found out wbat Essiac was in 1937. The Royal Cancer Commission hearings had then come to the same conclusion that Rene had -that Essiac was a cure for cancer. ER: What is Essiac exactly? GG: Essiac is a non-toxic herbal cure for cancer that's been with us since 1922. It's a formula made from four very common herbs. ER: I would guess that virtually every person in the U.S. today has been touched by cancer, either personally or through a loved one. If thisinformation is true, and the effectiveness of this remedy is actually medicafly documented, many lives could be saved. Why do you think the information on Essiac ,is not more widely known? GG: The information is withheld because cancer is the second largest revenue producing business in the world, next to the petro chemical business. Money and power suppress this truth. No one has ever s_ought to cure cancer -only to control il. I mean, the res_earch anslitutes, f~deIal governments, pharmaceutical companies, anybody that has a vested interest in the health care of cancer, including the Am-e-rican Cancer Society,. the Canadian Cancer Society, any of these so-called benefactors to those who have contracted this disease -all of these institutions are involved in the money and power around cancer.
