Guest guest Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 it is also for sale in the 2005 old Farmers Almanac......... This was originally created by Caisse, and the title is from her name spelled backwards. Essiac Tea: To make 1 cup of mix to brew with 2 gallons of distilled water: Burdock root (cut) - 1/2 cup Sheep Sorrel (powdered) - 3/8 cup Slippery Elm bark (powdered) - 2 Tablespoons + 2 teaspoons Turkey rhubarb (powdered) - 1 teaspoon Approximate number of bottles of tea made, depending on water loss 1 cup herb mix + 2 gallons of water = about 224 liquid ounces of tea will fill fourteen 16-ounce pint bottles, or seven 32-ounce quart bottles. 1/2 cup herb mix + 1 gallon of water = about 112 liquid ounces of tea will fill seven 16-ounce bottles, or three and a half 32-ounce quart bottles. 1/4 cup herb mix + 1/2 gallon of water = about 56 liquid ounces of tea will fill three and a half 16-ounce bottles, or almost two 32-ounce quart bottles. Supplies Needed Do not use anything made of aluminum. Stainless steel kettle with lid (or glass, UK unchipped enamel, CND granite pot) Stainless steel sieve Large stainless steel or wood stirring utensil Stainless steel funnel or 2-cup glass measuring cup Glass bottles can be amber, colored or clear glass Sizes of kettle and how many bottles depend on amount of tea prepared. 3 gallon kettle and 14 bottles are ideal for 1 cup herb mix + 2 gallons of water. Bottles and lids can be sterilized by one of these methods: 1) Boil for 10 minutes with a little food grade peroxide or Clorox. 2) Boil bottle caps, put bottles in 250 degree oven for 10 minutes. 3) Soak for 5 minutes in 1 ounce 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide plus 11 oz. distilled water. 4) Soak for 5 minutes in 1/2 teaspoon Clorox plus 1 gallon distilled water. 5) 16 oz. size bottles can be sterilized in a microwave oven carefully. The water you use for making essic tea should be as pure as possible. Don't use tap water. Most people use distilled water. Nice but not vital, you can " re-energize and re-oxygenate " distilled water by shaking it well or setting it in the sun for a few hours. Preparation Mix dry ingredients thoroughly. Measure out desired amount of dry ingredients. Pour proportionate amount of water into pot. Bring water to a rolling boil with the lid on. Stir dry ingredients into boiling water. Replace lid and continue boiling at reduced heat for 10 minutes. Turn off stove. Scrape down sides of pot and stir mixture thoroughly. Replace lid, let pot sit and cool undisturbed for 10-12 hours (overnight). Reheat to steaming hot, but do not let it boil. Turn off heat and allow herbs to settle for a few minutes. Pour hot liquid through sieve to catch sediment. Use funnel to fill sterilized bottles, put lids on. Allow bottles to cool, then tighten lids. Store in dark cool place, always refrigerate an opened bottle. Essiac contains no preservatives, discard if mold develops. " When in doubt, throw it out " . Unopened bottles can be stored in a cool, dark place, or keep all the bottles in the refrigerater. Don't freeze essiac or warm it up in a microwave (use hot water to dilute and warm it). Keep the tea refrigerated at all times. Shake well each time before pouring. Take it on an empty stomach, when you wake in the a.m. or at least 1 hour before eating or at least 2 hours after eating. good times to take it are at bedtime, or upon awakening. More seriously ill persons can take it safely 3 to 4 times daily, spaced out, as described above, separated from meals, by two hours. It is not going to do you much good to take it with meals. It will not work all mixed up with your dinner. 1 fluid ounce (30 ml) essiac tea per day, (can be diluted in 2 fluid ounces (60 ml) hot water. (distilled water) This should be sipped, preferably at bedtime on an empty stomach. As a daily tonic or to enhance the immune system: Take half a fluid ounce (15 ml) per day, (can be diluted in one ounce hot water.) (distilled water) Author: Caisse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 sheep sorrell grows all over the place here and we're pretty far from Europe (WA state), I like to nibble on the tender young plants though the ground hereabouts is so tainted with aluminum poisons I hesistate anymore. Easy enough to come across sheep sorrell in the spring and summer. I know you can order it through many herb companies too Janellebollin772000 <Bollin772000@...> wrote: ---there is one ingredient that isn't a lot required and you must get it frm Europe...the other three are available in the USA[is that where you are?} but the main ingred. is sheep sorrell, and I use that alone.....cannot remember why I use it heehee have to find my notes..I think the recipe is in files of this group...also might be in files of organichomesteadinggardening grp...[you dont have to have a small farm to join]apparently the four herbs in essiac tea[actually shud be called Ojibway native tea,since it was "taken" frm them...work together...you can buy it already made at health food stores and online.luv;RicaIn health , "Rainbow Egret" <egret.09@b...> wrote:>> Does anyone know if this really works and where can I get good herbs that don't cost a fortune.> > My dad as I stated before has aggressive prostate cancer and he or should I say the doctors have decided that because it is aggressive he has to have surgery.> > Mum sayes they have researched alternatives I mentioned raw diet to her but there is just no way he will go that far even to save his own life.> > Now I have to sit back and watch again as my grandfather just passed away in August from prostate cancer 12 years after surgery.> > Blessings> Tracey> FareChase - Search multiple travel sites in one click.

My dad as I stated before has aggressive prostate cancer and he or should I say the doctors have decided that because it is aggressive he has to have surgery. Mum sayes they have researched alternatives I mentioned raw diet to her but there is just no way he will go that far even to save his own life. Now I have to sit back and watch again as my grandfather just passed away in August from prostate cancer 12 years after surgery. Blessings Tracey ============================ Hi Tracey, I am sorry to hear about your dad. It is very sad to watch one of our loved ones slowly lose their life force due to the choices they have made. It is worse when they choose to be mule headed about what they are willing to do and what they are not willing to do. No offense meant here. Cassie felt that Essiac worked miracles and so have many thousands who have used it. Yes, it does work but so does fasting and eating all raw. Both have been proven beyond any doubt. However, each and everyone of us has our own inherent, I hesitate to call it constitution but that is the best term I can think of right now, constitution and we all will act or react differently to any remedial recourse. There is no guarantee that anyone and everyone will be cured, in other words. Those who are cured are more than happy to share their thoughts and feelings. Those who aren't....well they aren't around any more. Surgery is never the answer nor the solution unless it is indicated in an emergency (auto accident, gunshot wounds, etc.). It only maims and destroys the body. Cancer is the last stage of some physical problem having gone on too long. It is stage 7. It need not be fatal but is up to the individual on whether they wish to live or not and what quality of life they wish to have. Unfortuately, in our society allopathic practices have become the norm and due to the allopathic and pharmaceutical brainwashing over the last century they have most everyone believing that only they can cure and you and as an person you are incapable of healing yourself. Hence, surgery for such things exists and most people rely on the Medical Deities to "cure" them. It really is no fault as all of us have been hammered since ....well whenever about how magnificent doctors are, and in some aspects they are, how diseases and ailments really are not any fault of our own, etc. There are several Australian companies selling herbs but I am not certain whether you will get what you are looking for or not. Import restrictions being what they are makes it near impossible to import those things that some bureaucrat has deemed unnecessary or unsafe for others. This is politicians looking out for your best interests (like they really know what your interests are). Do a google search on Australian Herb companies. You should find someone. I am truly sorry Tracey to hear about your father. Hopefully, he will listen to you. It may not be until he has had surgery and finds out that they did not get the cancer (usually what happens though not always) but hopefully he will come around and decide to give nature a chance. -- Peace be with you, Tracey.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Hi Don Thanks for your kind and helpful words as usual. You'd think he'd be willing to try just about anything after seeing mum's dad (my pop) just go through. I mean they lived close by and saw him almost daily towards the end whereas I only saw him looking relatively well when I did see him even a month or so from the end, which was fine by me as I can remember him looking good rather than sick.
