WELCOME
We're sorry, but we've stopped selling Essiac herbs through this web site. If you wish to buy the highest quality essiac tea at generic prices, please go to our recommended site: www.acreatorsblessing.com where you may purchase Rene Caisse's original recipe from a marketer dedicated to her legacy of continuing to make Essiac Tea affordable to everyone at generic prices (please see Kathy's research material below)!
A Creator's Blessing is one of only two marketers that uses 100% USA grown organic herbs. These herbs are formulated to conform to Rene Caisse's original documented and certified formula using both cut and powdered herbs. Our search has found only two sources that use 100% USA organic herbs: A Creator's Blessing sells 16 ounces of blended dry mixture for $43.95 from their website, and Trout Lake Farm Co. sells 4 ounces of blended dry mixture for an average price of $15.00-$20.00, sold only in health food stores. Organic soil is essential to the quality of the herbs.
"Essiac Essentials" coauthors, Mali KLein and Sheila Snow, had unprecedented access to Rene Caisse's histories allowing you to be sure you're getting the original formula used by Rene Caisse.
The integrity of Rene Caisse's original formula should be maintained. Surprisingly enough, your inquiry into various suppliers of Caisse's herbal formula (including some of the biggest names and dominant sellers of Essiac tea) will reveal that many of those suppliers are using the less expensive, questionable, imported (sterilized) herbs or the cheaper inorganic. Before entering either the USA or Canada import laws require that all bulk herbs, including imported organic herbs, must be sterilized.
Few sources are using the more expensive USA organic herbs. In addition, some sources modify or add other ingredients to the original formula in order to make claims of exclusivity, or to give the impression they have improved on the original formula. Modified versions of Rene Caisse's authenticated formula simply do not provide the same active, fighting ingredients. Her research and years of dedicated application undoubtedely prove her combination of four herbs creates a synergistic effect critical to its success.
Rene Caisse's original formula contains a blend of four herbs: Burdock root (Arctium lappa), Sheep sorrel herb (Rumex acetosella), Slippery Elm bark (Ulmus rubra/fulva), and Turkey Rhubarb (Rheum palmatum). For 50 years Canadian Nurse Rene Caisse reported that these herbs in her specific tea recipe played an important role in many recoveries from tumors.
Naming it "Essiac" (by reversing the letters of her last name), Nurse Caisse treated many patients with malignant tumors, and struggled for over 50 years to have her formula recognized by the medical establishment.
Mother Earth Herbs makes no claims regarding this herbal blend. To the best of our knowledge, essiac has never been clinically validated by the allopathic medical community. We are striving to do research on this blend, make available as much information as possible regarding its many aspects, as well as provide you with information regarding other options.
What I represent is not the "enemy." The true enemy lies within the minds of those individuals - from both allopathic and natural options - who believe that only their modality has any value or credibility. In that thinking, comes a larger cancer that grows in our world. One that neglects the great injustice placed upon those who we claim to want to help - the person dealing with a potentially life-threatening condition. In this stubborn, limited view, that way of thinking will serve no one. Help us, lest we forget, that each person is born with an innate wisdom to know what is best for them - and only them. Let us educate each other, grow from each other, and above all, respect and honor each person's right to choose that which they feel is best for them. There is no place for tyranny in medicine. If we are to find a way to eradicate cancer from our world, then we must start with the one who's face we see in the mirror each morning. Is that face one of compassion, love for humankind, respect for others? We will never know what it's like to walk in another's shoes. We can know what it feels like to take each other's hand though! - Kathy
