This is the story of a woman named Rene Caisse. For more
than 50 years, until her death in 1978 at the age of 90, she treated
thousands of cancer patients, most of them written off by doctors as
terminally ill, with her own secret herbal formula. She called it Essiac -
Caisse spelled backwards - and she brewed the tea herself, alone in her
kitchen.
Her patients swore by her. They were devoted. Men and women
who believed she cured them of cancer told their friends and families, wrote
letters to doctors and politicians, swore affidavits, testified before the
Canadian parliament and pleaded with Rene Caisse to supply them with more
Essiac when they needed it. Some husbands and wives of patients who died
wrote Rene letters thanking her profoundly for making life easier - free of
pain - and longer for their loved ones. Her funeral in the village of
Bracebridge, about 170 kilometers north of Toronto, was attended by hundreds
of people, including former patients Rene had treated for terminal cancer as
far back as the 1930s and who were still on their feet to bury her and tell
their stories.
I'm convinced that Essiac works. It has potent healing --
and preventive -- power. It is a gift from nature. I've seen a small part of
the evidence with my own eyes, and I've experienced Essiac's power as a
healthful tonic in my own life. I suffered from chronic bronchitis until a
few years ago when I first heard of Essiac and tried it myself. Within days
my cough disappeared and it hasn't returned. I still drink the Essiac. It
tastes like what it is, an herbal tea. About as plain and mild as any of the
other herbal teas from around the world you can buy in any supermarket. I've
never felt better. All through Canada and in parts of the United States
today there are people of all ages who are absolutely convinced that Essiac
saved their lives or the lives of friends and loved ones. But you can't buy
it in any supermarket.
Claims have been made - since about 1925, in fact - that
Essiac is an effective treatment for cancer. So the governments of North
America have classified it as a "drug." The Canadian government almost
legalized its use by Rene in 1939, and has gone through fits and starts ever
since in deciding how to handle the situation. The policy has ranged from
threatening to arrest Rene if she didn't close her clinic to promising her
publicly - on the record, in the press that she wouldn't be arrested if she
would agree to keep her clinic open, thus quieting the public clamor that
arose after the government threatened to shut her down. In the last decade,
the Canadian government has classified Essiac as an "experimental drug," and
then an "experimental drug" that had failed to show promise, and today - as
Dr. Hendrick's letter shows - the internal battles are still going on in
Canada over the future of Essiac.
In the U.S., a 1978 class action suit in federal court in
Detroit seeking to authorize the importation of Essiac for cancer treatment
was defeated by the government. Other than that, the U.S. government hasn't
faced much pressure about Essiac. There are probably high level officials in
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration - and the National Cancer Institute -
who make life and death decisions about cancer drugs who could honestly say
they've never heard of Essiac. I hope they'll take the time to read this
book.
I don't claim that Essiac is a miraculous panacea, capable
of curing all cancers in all people, nor do I believe that. Rene Caisse
didn't even believe that. She didn't claim Essiac as a "cure for cancer."
Her former patients were the ones who put forward that claim, strenuously
and over many decades. What Rene maintained was that Essiac caused
regression in some cancerous tumors, the total destruction of others,
prolonged life in most cases and - in virtually every case - significantly
diminished the pain and suffering of cancer patients.
If the testimonials of Rene's former patients, including
those sworn under oath, have any credibility at all - and when I present
them, I think you'll agree they do - then Essiac's powers as a pain reliever
in cancer patients are nothing short of phenomenal. In sixty years of
personal accounts, the easing of agony and an increased sense of well-being
- often to the point of getting through the day without narcotics - is one
of the predominant themes. You hear it over and over again, and always told
with a deep sense of gratitude.
Rene fought almost her whole adult life against overwhelming
odds and under incredible pressures, some of them self imposed, to establish
those simple facts as accepted wisdom. She never gave up her fight. But for
one woman many years ago to persuade the medical and legal institutions of
North America that a natural treatment for cancer - based on herbs that grow
wild - might make more sense than the accepted means of surgery, radiation
and chemotherapy...she might as well have been telling them in an earlier
century that the earth is round.
Remember: Rene was fighting cancer with a natural treatment
in an era when the conventional wisdom of the medical establishment denied
even that diet might be a factor in causing cancer. It's hard to believe,
knowing what we know now - and what has become the conventional wisdom - but
for generations those doctors who preached dietary causes of cancer were
dismissed by most physicians as quacks. So what was the medical
establishment to make of this woman - who wasn't even a licensed doctor -
who preached that a cancer treatment was to be found in plants that grow
wild?
My goal in this book is simple: I want to tell the story of
this ordinary woman's extraordinary Life and share the knowledge of Essiac
so that people can make their own informed decisions about what it's future
should be. I don't pretend to have all the answers about how and why Essiac
works, or the final scientific proof that it does. There are large gaps, as
I'll explain, in my own knowledge of this story. Much of it remains a
mystery to me, raising deeply intriguing questions which I would love to see
answered.
But I do know that there is already enough evidence that
Essiac has benefited cancer patients in the last 60 years to warrant those
controlled clinical studies that some physicians - such as Dr. Hendrick -
have advocated for decades.
The risk to the public would certainly appear to be minimal.
There seems to be universal agreement among the doctors and scientists who
have done investigations of Essiac - and the patients who have used it -
that Essiac is non-toxic and without harmful side effects. Rene Caisse drank
it every day for half a century and some of her family and close friends
always made sure they had their daily cup. Not even Rene Caisse's worst
enemies ever put forward the argument that people were hurt by drinking the
tea.

This is a crazy world. What can be
done? Amazingly, we have been mislead. We have been taught that we can
control government by voting. The founder of the Rothschild dynasty, Mayer
Amschel Bauer, told the secret of controlling the government of a nation
over 200 years ago. He said, "Permit me to issue and control the money of
a nation and I care not who makes its laws." Get the picture? Your freedom
hinges first on the nation's banks and money system. That's why we
advocate using the
Liberty Dollar, to understand the
monetary and banking system. Freedom is connected with
Debt Elimination for each individual. Not
only does this end personal debt, it places the people first in line as
creditors to the National Debt ahead of the banks. They don't wish for you
to know this. It has to do with recognizing WHO you really are in
A New Beginning: A Practical Course in Miracles.
