Some years ago now, a Canadian nurse named Renee Caisse was given the recipe for a herbal medicine by a native Shaman.  She was told that it would cure cancer.

 

She began treating cancer victims with it, some of whom had been told that their case was hopeless and  had been sent home to die.

 

Sure enough, cure after cure was effected and the herbal formula, called essiac tea, became widely known amongst alternative practitioners.  It's success rate was phenomenal.

 

Here is the formula for the tea.  Anyone can make it.

Thanks for the response. I have been buying essiac (infusion in 32 ounce / 909 mls.) from a producer (Yu-ccan, Canaid) in Sherwood Park, Alberta. A bottle lasts approximately three weeks, and the cost is approximately $30.00 per bottle. I am a low income individual, however I feel this cost is affordable since this herbal recipe has largely cured my ills (I also use vitamin therapy) and I feel healthier than I felt for years prior to beginning the essiac treatment. Thank God for herbs and herbal recipes such as Essiac! The following is the recipe I have for essiac:
Herb list; 16 ounces Sheepshead Sorrel (Rumex sp.), 4 ounces of Slippery Elm powder (Ulmus fulva), 1 ounce Turkey Rhubarb Root (Rheum palmatum), 6 1/2 cups chopped burdock root (Arctium lappa).
