ESSIAC Dear Duncan, Firstly let me con- gratulate you on your excellent maga- zine, and secondly on your great article concerning the Essiac formula. A am amazed that it actually took so long for someone to publish the story about René and her amazing work. I have been a great believer in René and Essiac for the past five years. I was originally told about it by a visit- ing Canadian friend in 1987 and have experimented with its use ever since. I have taken the compound for near- ly five years myself, originally as a control experiment and now as a health- supportive. I can verify the ‘claims that your article made in the treatment of C.A. I have personally given the com- pound to over 100 patients at various Hospice terminal care homes around Sydney and witnessed an amazing stay of illness in all but eight cases. I gave the Essiac to my patients on their own request after showing them the litera- ture about René, however at the time I was only working in the capacity as a registered nurse and as such would be discredited easily if challenged on point. 1 went on to develop a much more potent form of the formula when look- ing to the the application of Essiac in the immune-suppressed patients (post chemotherapy, radiotherapy and long exposure to corticosteroids and HIV). I have found that by incorporating lyophilised thymus extract and immuno formula vitamin supplements, a broader spectrum of treatment was possible. I originally did this by crush- ing the thymus extract and immuno formula and adding them to my pow- dered Essiac mixture in a direct 1:1 ratio before making them into tablet form. The Formula 3. Stir in 1 cup of Essiac formula. Replace lid and continue boiling for 10 minutes. 4. Turn off stove. Scrape down sides of pot with spatula and stir mix- tre thoroughly. Replace lid. 5. Allow pot to remain closed for 12 hours; then turn stove to full heat for 20 minutes. 6. Turn off stove. Strain liquid into 3-gallon pot, and clean S-gallon pot and strainer. Then strain filtered liq- uid back into 5-gallon pot. 7. Use funnel to pour hot liquid into bottles immediately, taking care to tighten caps. Allow bottles to cool; then tighten caps again. 8. Refrigerate. Essiac contains no preservative agents. If mould should develop in bottle, discard immediately. An article appeared in the Dec/Jan '93 edition of Nexus, which reported on a suppressed cancer cure. This was based on a herbal mixture, popularly called Essiac. Unfortunately, at the time of going to print, we had not obtained the details listed below, which describe how to make Essiac. Essiac Supplies Needed 5 gallon stainless steel pot 3 gallon stainless steel pot, with lid Stainless steel fine-mesh double strainer CAUTION: All bottles and caps must be sterilised after use if you plan to re-use them for Essiac. Bottle caps must be washed and rinsed thorough- ly, and may be cleaned with a 3% solution of food grade hydrogen per- oxide in water, Stainless steel funnel Stainless steel spatula 12 or more 16-ounce amber glass bottles with airtight caps, (not child- proof caps) 2 gallons sodium-free distilled water Measuring cup Kitchen scale with ounce measure- ments Heat 4 tablespoons (2 oz.) sodium- free, distilled water in a stainless steel pot. Add 4 tablespoons of Essiac, (shake bottle first). Mix and drink. Take at bedtime on an empty stom- ach, at least 2 hours after eating. Essiac Formula 6.5 cups of burdock root - cut. (Arctium Lappa) 16 oz. Sheep Sorrel Herb - pow- dered (Rumex Acetosella) 1 oz Turkey Rhubarb Root - pow- dered (Rheum Palmatum) 4 oz. Slippery Elm Bark - powdered (Ulmus Fulve) My only criticism of your article is the paragraph mentioning dosage - specifically the 6 ozs per day of pow- dered pure sorrel. Firstly you do quite correctly mention caution in the use of Essiac with patients suffering renal (kidney) dysfunction. The levels of oxalic acid found in the sorrel family are incredibly high and should not be ingested in anything like the aforemen- tioned dose. I do feel that patients with at least 50% normal renal function could tolerate small doses, less than 250 mgs per day for a period of 14 Questions regarding recipe and dosage should be directed to the author: Dr Gary Glum, Silent Walker Publishing, PO Box 92856, Los Angeles,CA 90009 USA.
