About this title

Synopsis

Essiac is a popular herbal remedy with a proven record of helping people with cancer. It was developed seventy-five years ago by Rene Caisse, a Canadian nurse, and now has an international reputation being recommended by complementary and medical practitioners, cancer centres and hospices world-wide. In their first book, 'Essiac Essentials', Sheila Snow and Mali Klein gave detailed information on how to grow, harvest or obtain commercially the herbs necessary to make Essiac. They also gave an easy-to-follow recipe. In this new book they reveal what they have discovered of other formulae or herbs Rene Caisse may have used. They also share the information they have found in archives about the roles played by some of the more prominent figures involved with the development of Essiac, especially during the last years of Rene Caisse's life. In addition they have included information related to the basic science of cancer, the related chemical and radiation therapies and the importance of maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle in order to enhance the possibly palliative and remedial effects of the Essiac formula. The book concludes with selected case histories and a list of international resources related to Essiac. Other books by Mali Klein and Sheila Snow Essiac Essentials.
