Truth is false. That is Orwellian doublespeak. The connections between the pharmaceutical industry, banking cartel elitists that own that industry, medical establishments, and governments have pushed the agenda not just to make more money but to rule the human condition as a whole. Today it has gone so far that is pushed under the umbrella of the UN.  

One of the down-to-earth and not so “philosophical” aspects of the agenda is the systematic destruction of the natural healthcare industry, and natural supplement access as a finishing blow in a war on plants that lasts for more than 100 years. And it is not just plants that are a problem because they cannot be patented. It is not about money. It is more than that. Every real cure that destroys the disease in its roots is not something that the industry wants, even if it can be patented. They do not want cures they just want treatments that can prolong life a little. Let us look at real-life examples.

In a small town in Northern Ontario, back in 1922, rumors began circulating of some cancer-curing tea that was originating from the forests of Ontario. The Canadian Ojibwa tribe originally used a mixture. Indians called this mixture the “tea of life.” On a fateful day in 1922 Canadian cancer nurse, Rene Caisse noticed scar tissue on the breast of an elderly English woman. 

She was diagnosed with breast cancer 30 years before and she cured it naturally without surgery, and that should not be possible, not even today. The woman just did not have the money for it. She met an Indian medicine man who told her that in his tribe’s tradition they are able to cure the disease with some tea.

Well, the woman had nothing to lose. So she tried the tea, and it worked for her. She was still alive 30 years later when nurse Caissie examined her.

 She also told the ingredients of the herbal remedy to the nurse. One year after that, nurse Caissie still didn’t do anything about the tea she had her about, but some local doctor in a walk told her that if the world uses some weed they just had walked by there, there will be no more breast cancer. It was one of the weeds in herbal remedy in that Indian medicine man tea.

The “weed” was sheep sorrel. 

In 1924 she decided to test the tea on her aunt. Her aunt had nothing to lose because she had cancer of the stomach and conventional medicine at the time was given her about six months to live. She lived for another 21 years, cancer free. Rene Caisse (pronounced “Reen Case”) later gave the tea to her 72-year-old mother who was diagnosed with inoperable cancer of the liver, with only weeks to live. Her own mother healed and lived without cancer for another 18 years. After these events, Nurse Caisse decided to quit the hospital and began curing people with a mixture of herbs that would become known as Essiac which is her last name spelled backward.

Soon the voice spread and the number of patients started to grow. When Dr. Bestida of Bracebridge, Ontario sent Cassie his patient Bert Rosin, she cured him, and dr. Bestida went before the town council and a mayor and persuaded them to give Nurse Caisse the building as a clinic. So they set up the clinic because Cassie made a great discovery and they wanted her to be supported by her own hometown.

She treated for eight and a half years there with patients flocking in from all directions. She treated around six hundred patients a week, and the only way she was allowed to do this was free of charge and she needed to have a doctor’s diagnosis for every case she treated. Now just imagine if we impose the same rules on the cancer industry of today.

However, it was one Dr. Leonardo from Buffalo who had immediately recognized the potential of this cancer cure that warned her of what is going to happen. He was a cancer surgeon, and he asked if he can go to the clinic and examine patients to see for himself. After he had seen for himself, he said to Cassie that she has it (the cure), but the medical profession will never be going to let her do this. After a while of his visit, a small group of mysterious “entrepreneurs” showed up offering Cassie a small sum of one million dollars for the secret formula. At that time one million was a big sum of money. The equivalent of 20 million today. Now we can think of this as a bribe to keep her quiet and go some place warm and nice to retire. What these people would not prepare to guarantee was that her cure would be made available for free or available at all to people that needed it. They just wanted the formula and her to go away. The only reason why we know about this today and you can read about it is because she refused. She was emotional and not pragmatic. She treated people for free in the clinic. Would you have refused such an offer? Who in her right mind would? How many other cures have been suppressed by this form of bribe that we do not know about, and we would never know?

In 1938 her case was called before the legislature to determent the Essiac legal status. She was trying to legalize her treatment. Her patients gathered 55,000 signatures for a petition. A bill was introduced in the Ontario legislature to (allegedly) “authorize Rene Caisse to practice medicine in the Province of Ontario in the treatment of cancer and conditions therein.”  Bill failed to pass. Public anger forced the establishment of a Cancer commission to investigate her remedies, but it was all rejected. Rene Caisse treated her patients under the supervision of many doctors. Some of those doctors saw with their own eyes what this tea could do, and eight of them signed a petition to the Department of National Health and Welfare at Ottawa, asking that Nurse Caisse be given facilities to do independent research on her discovery. Initially, Rene was not acquainted with the control that the medical/pharmaceutical industry had over governments. After the petition was delivered, she was continually threatened with arrest until she finally withdrew from public view. She kept on her clinic as long as she could until they stopped the doctors from giving the diagnosis and then she was forced to stop. Patients were still coming and in some cases begging her to treat them, but she was not able to do so without a diagnosis because she would be thrown in jail for a long time. She had a nervous breakdown and closed the clinic.

Essiac was cheap.  Essiac is non-toxic.  Essiac cannot be patented.

She refused the bribe.

In the normal world, such discovery would be welcomed with open hands and research would be done extensively to see what is the way of cancer suppression. In this world full of corruption stuff like this is labeled as fake and dangerous and in this case, mass media owned by corporations could not demonize Nurse Cassie because she did not charge any money for the treatment. So they just quietly shot down the clinic and labeled it as a fake cancer cure that people should avoid without any research done. At that time, she had a diagnosis from regular doctors. She had pathological findings and living patients in the thousands that were discharged from the regular hospitals and sent home to die. They went to her in the last stages of cancer and lived after the medical profession had given them up. And yet they refused to even acknowledge any benefits of the Essiac tea without even single research done.

To this day The American Cancer Society states that:

“Reviews of medical records of people who have been treated with Essiac do not support claims that this product helps people with cancer live longer or that it relieves their symptoms” and the FDA described Essiac as a “Fake Cancer ‘Cure’ Consumers Should Avoid.”

 Cancer Research UK also remarks that:

” There is no scientific evidence that Essiac can help to treat cancer or control its symptoms” and even warns that: “Essiac may interact with some types of cancer treatment, so it is very important to tell your doctor if you are thinking of taking Essiac.”

After she recovered from the breakdown, she started again from scratch brewing the herbal mixture in her own basement and curing a small number of patients. Soon government began harassing her again and having her arrested more than once. But the story broke out, and JFK’s personal physician, Dr. Charles Brusch who was also his close friend and who treated himself with Essiac when he battled cancer sent her an invitation to test Essiac scientifically. Caisse gave some samples of Essiac to Dr. Charles Brusch, who was also the founder of the Brusch Medical Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where tests were done. These first scientific tests showed that Essiac is not toxic and did have positive effects a cancer suppression. At that time Dr. Brusch recommended that Essiac should be tested for toxicity in order to be approved by the FDA as a possible cancer treatment.

Once that tea arrived at the Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center process somehow got bogged down. A laboratory at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center did test Essiac samples (provided by Caisse) on mice during the 1970s. This study was never formally published. There is controversy regarding the results. There were unexplainable delays, and more delays and processes never got to any conclusion. Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center is supposedly one of the most important cancer research centers in the US. Chester Stock the Co-director of Sloan-Kettering, when interviewed by the news agency, said that the results that he reported showed that there was a very small percentage in the small group of regressions, but they never had the opportunity to confirm this and to see whether they could obtain better results.

So in the end, Essiac was not approved by the FDA. Caisse refused offers by researchers at Memorial Sloan-Kettering and the U.S. National Cancer Institute for access to the recipe. It went so far that patients themselves start to organize for suing the government and FDA on a couple of occasions. They believed that under the constitution they could put in themselves any substance that they want as long as they are no danger to others and that no FDA or anybody else can tell them what they can or cannot use in their own body, so various groups of patients organized and sued FDA for denying them a possible cure.

Court hearings went nowhere, and yes constitutional rights had been denied to them.

Dr. Frederick Banting, the co-discoverer of insulin became interested in Essiac and even offered Nurse Caisse research facilities to test it further, but by this time Rene had already lost her will to fight. The single woman Rene Caisse trusted to help her make Essiac tea was her best friend, Mary McPherson  According to Dr. Gary Glum, Mary had promised Rene never to share the recipe with anyone. It was one Dr. Glum that in 1985 purchased the formula for $120,000 from one of Rene’s former patients. Dr. Glum could have kept the formula secret and become very wealthy selling bottles of Essiac.  However, he unselfishly released the formula into the public domain in 1988. At first, he offered the formula on a videotape that he advertised in his book, but the feds unlawfully seized the tapes before he could sell very many of them.  Dr. Glum gave out the Essiac formula and recipe free of charge to anyone who mailed him a request for the Essiac formula. When Dr. Glum met Mary McPherson in Bracebridge, Ontario, and told her what the Essiac formula was, she was more than a little surprised. According to Dr. Glum, Mary eventually revealed the formula in 1994 because it was no longer a secret, and she wanted to end the controversy over the Essiac formula before she died. 

Therefore, on December 23, 1994, the “Essiac” formula & recipe was officially entered into the public domain with the recording of Mary McPherson’s affidavit.

Essiac includes a mixture of different herbs, including sheep sorrel (Rumex acetosella), later proven to be the most potent one. Then also slippery elm inner bark (Ulmus fulva), burdock root (Arctium lappa) and Turkish rhubarb (Rheum palmatum).

Slippery elm is the only Essiac herb native to North America. Turkey rhubarb (Rheum palmatum) is native to China and Tibet, not northern Ontario, so it appears unlikely that it was a part of the original medicine man’s formula of indigenous herbs in the late 1800s. It appears that both burdock and sheep sorrel were brought to this continent from Europe by early settlers who then passed on their knowledge of these two herbs to the local tribes. Burdock and sheep sorrel eventually spread throughout North America where water was sufficient. Rene Caisse indicated that sheep sorrel was one of the original herbs, so it appears that sheep sorrel had migrated to “the wilds of Northern Ontario” before the 1890s.  Burdock could have also established itself in Northern Ontario by then. René Caisse felt sheep sorrel was the most active cancer fighter among all the herbs present in her formula. Dr. Chester Stock shared that viewpoint at Sloan-Kettering. Dr. Stock conducted some studies on sheep sorrel benefits for over three years in the mid-seventies.

Herb Volume Weight Form Recipe %

Burdock Root pea-size cut 53%.

Sheep Sorrel powdered at 36%.

Slippery Elm Bark powdered 9%.

Turkey Rhubarb Root powdered 2%.

In 2012, there was one study done in Hungary. The results of a study out of Hungary were published and showed that the Sheep Sorrel herb, and a number of its Sorrel relatives, demonstrated substantial cell growth inhibitory activity (at least 50% inhibition of cell proliferation) against one or more cancerous cell lines.

Score one for the herbalists.

A survey carried out in the year 2000 found approximately 15% of Canadian women with breast cancer to be using Essiac. It has also become popular in people with immune diseases such as HIV and diabetes and as a regular herbal tea as well. Some preventative measures in health-oriented individuals. Research conducted since Caisse’s death provided some insight.

Herbs used in making Essiac possess antioxidant and anti-cancer properties, according to research conducted at the European Institute of Oncology. The findings were reported in the March 2006 issue of the Journal of Ethnopharmacology. Researchers found that four of the herbs in Essiac demonstrated natural powers of protection against cancer.

Finally, a quick search of the PubMed archive can give us a couple of studies like (1). They examined cancerous cell line and spleen cells in vitro that had been isolated from mice to examine proliferation responses mediated by the addition of an Essiac. They found a decreased proliferation of both noncancerous transformed and cancerous prostate cell line when Essiac was present in the culture media which means that tea stopped all cells from dividing, but the percent inhibition of the cancer cells was higher than the percent inhibition of the regular cells implying that Essiac may have an additional selective effect on cancer cells. On top of that, the effects of Essiac were measured in an immune T-lymphocyte proliferation assay. At low doses of Essiac, an increase in the proliferation of these T cells was demonstrated, but at higher doses, Essiac was inhibitory to T-cell proliferation. This means that Essiac s may be able to inhibit tumor cell growth while enhancing the immune response. This may be particularly important in immune-suppressed individuals. Like in HIV.

In this study(2). Essiac exhibited significant antioxidant activity, exhibited significant immunomodulatory effects, specifically through stimulation of granulocyte phagocytosis and moderately inhibiting inflammatory pathways. Essiac exhibited significant cell-specific cytotoxicity towards ovarian epithelial carcinoma cells (meaning it kills cancer). They concluded that this study was the first comprehensive investigation of the in vitro effects of Essiac and that in vitro analysis of Essiac indicates significant antioxidant and immunomodulatory properties, as well as neoplastic cell (a cell that is part of tumor) specific cytotoxicity (specific to killing only cancer cell) which is consistent with the historical properties ascribed to this compound. There are also other studies that did not find anything and even one study that finds an increased risk of breast cancer (3).

So again we have conflicting science. Hundred years since the Essiac first appeared we still do not have a clear picture. In a world where supposedly there are hundreds of millions of dollars of cancer research spending annually (the reason why all of these cancer drugs supposedly cost so much) somehow it is hard to do a simple tea examination and research. Or any other examination for “alternative” cures for that matter.

The FDA response is that the reason why they do not test these is that they do not want to give quacks credibility. And they are lying. They do not want to give the “alternatives” any chance to prove their efficacy because they are not there to protect you or heal you.

They are there to protect Rockefeller’s big pharma business. There are many cases to be cited concerning congressional investigations I just used Essiac as one example. If you want you can go and read 1963 hearings of Senator Paul Douglas of Illinois on Krebiozen.
