The story of Essiac tea which was brought to prominence by Rene Caisse (the tea’s name is her surname spelled backwards) is an intriguing one. The ingredients for this tea was obtained from an Objibway Native American medicine man from northern Canada and was used to great effect by Rene who was a nurse who used the tea to treat patients with terminal cancer at her clinic in a little known Canadian village called Bracebridge in northern Toronto, Canada.
Rene treated the numerous cancer patients that came to her initially accepting farm produce as payment and later treating people for absolutely nothing. She made no money from the use of this herb in treating people even though she was known to have successfully treated hundreds of patients. She was constantly harassed by the Canadian Health Ministry and was even betrayed by a private corporation that had promised to make Essiac tea a legally available cancer cure.
Essiac tea as a cancer cure
In 1922 I a Canadian hospital Rene Caisse met an elderly cancer survivor. 30 years ago the woman was living in a mining camp with her husband when she was diagnosed with breast cancer and told her breasts would have to be removed. Refusing to accept her fate she met a Native American medicine man in Ojibway who instructed her on the herbs to use in curing her cancer and she was completely cured months later.
This story was of particular interest to Rene who at the time had a step father and aunt with cancer. She was interestd in the herbs and more importantly how to prepare the tea.
The elderly woman then sent the Ojibway medicine man’s herb list and preparation methods to Rene who used it in treating her aunt and stepfather of their cancer. Who were both cured, in her memoirs she wrote concerning her stepfather: “It took some time, but eventually he was cured.”
