Hi Khaya,

Well Essiac would be my very first choice if I had cancer as it has a history of keeping stage 4 cancer patients alive

after they were sent home to die by their doctors... AND, they took just one cup of this tea daily...

Actually, Essiac is easy to make, 32 oz of water, 1 oz of Essiac blend, a hard boil for 10 minutes, then allow to steep

on the stove for 12 hours, then reheat to just steaming, allow to cool, strain and place in the fridge.. This is enough

for 32 days of tea...

I have written many times that there is so much misinformation on the Internet about Essiac tea, well a tea named

Ojibwa is a part of this...

Actually, you are using Essiac tea, well almost... Ojibwa is misnamed for the Indian tribe that first used this

tea then Nurse Caisse became the keeper of the tea, she changed the formula and renamed it Essiac, her name backwards.

So Ojibwa is actually Essiac tea and supplement suppliers and retailers who've not take the time to properly research

this still call their Ojibwa tea, when in fact the correct name is Essiac tea...

The tea did originate from an Indian tribe, but NEVER did anyone know which tribe it came from... Along the way

Ojibwa was the name incorrectly given to this tea.. Below you will read the official researchers of Essiac tea, Snow and Klein

have found nothing in the archives saying this tea was ever called Ojibwa..

http://www.healthfreedom.info/Cancer%20Essiac.htm

>>>Essiac marketers often claim that Essiac is an Ojibwa Indian formula. In "I Was Canada's Cancer Nurse" Rene Caisse referred only to "a very old Indian medicine man" without naming any specific tribe. Sheila Snow and Mali Klein have researched this issue extensively from the Essiac Archives and found that "There is absolutely no evidence to support the popular assumption that he was a member of the Ojibwa tribe. There were six different tribes living in Northern Ontario at that time, including Algonquin [Anishinabeg], Cree, Cherokee, Huron,

Iroquois and Ojibwa as well as the refugees from other tribes in the United States, who were fleeing north of the border from the Indian wars.<<<

However, the method you are using to make the tea in not effective.

And the literature says this about tea bag or capsules of Essiac (Ojibwa) tea.

Again, this info is provided from Snow and Klein researchers...

http://www.healthfreedom.info/Cancer%20Essiac.htm

>>>The preparation of Essiac is as important as the formula itself. Essiac is adecoction, not an infusion. An infusion is what people make when they put a tea bag in a cup of hot water. Generally speaking, an infusion tends to extract vitamins and volatile oils from leaves and flowers. A decoction is used to extract minerals, bitter components, etc. from hard materials such as roots, bark or seeds by boiling for a few minutes and then allowing the herbs to steep for several hours. Entrepreneurs often sell Essiac imitations in tincture form (herbs in alcohol) or in gelatin capsules; neither form is Essiac because Essiac is a tea and, more specifically, a decoction that must be made in a certain way in order to achieve the kind of results that Nurse Caisse was demonstrating. <<<<

And you pay far more for a tincture that does not give any of the benefits of Essiac... A one pound Essiac Blend costs about $40, includes shipping

and will last one person for about 20 months..

Essiac Tea

This is the correct info about Essiac tea.... The link to buy and the recipe to make is at the top of this email, please be sure to check out the links I have researched below this as these truly are the only trusted links I will use for this tea... Most Essiac info on the "net is not correct, it has been changed by resellers to make you think they are selling their herbs for less... The original Essiac tea discovered by Nurse Caisse was made from 4 herbs, many resellers lead you to believe she changed this to 8 herbs. What they have done is add in 4 inexpensive herbs and since they sell the herbs (blended) by the pound, it actually costs them less per pound because of the added inexpensive herbs. All the links here have been researched by me and they are good links you can trust...

WHERE TO BUY ESSIAC HERBS

There is a much better way of buying these herbs from Mountain Rose Herbs, their herbs are organic and very fresh... They use the correct 4 herbs in the correct amount and sell an Essiac Blend. This means you do not have to buy the individual herbs and weigh out the correct amount, they've done it for you! Cost is $29.00 for one pound plus shipping, this should last one person about 20 months. I suggest making 1 1/2 pints (24 ounces) as we use 1 oz of the tea concentrate per day, so this will last about 24 days... The tea should be consumed daily for 3 weeks, and not consumed for one week each month (basically 3 weeks on the tea, 1 week off). I don't drink the tea for the first 7 days of month and then I drink it every day for the rest of the month, thus the 1 1/2 pint recipe is exact! Mountain Rose does sell the individual herbs (links listed below), I don't believe there is any cost advantage to this and it is

more work as you have to measure and blend the herbs yourself. The Blend you buy from Mountain Rose should be put into a covered glass container and stored in a dark kitchen cabinet.

If you buy the ESSIAC BLEND (highly suggested)

How to Make Essiac Tea Concentrate

Do not use any aluminum utensils as aluminum can react with Essiac tea.

Supplies Needed: Enameled or stainless steel pot or Corning casserole dish (8 - 12 quart size). Covered glass jug (for the liquid tea concentrate) that will be placed in the fridge..

Strainer, funnel and a glass measuring cup (Pyrex) wood stirring spoon. You also going to need a small scale that weighs in ounces. If you need to buy a scale, just be sure it measures in ounces, getting one that also measures grams (.01) is good for measuring powdered supplements..

Dry Measure Equivalents

3 teaspoons

1 tablespoon

1/2 ounce

14.3 grams

2 tablespoons

1/8 cup

1 ounce

28.3 grams

Gram scales on eBay, most also measure ounces, just be sure it does, this is optional if you wish to weigh the monthly blend:

This one does measure in ounces...

You will use 1/2 ounce of the dry herbs (Essiac Blend) to make a pint, or 3/4 oz to make 1 1/2 pints or 1 ounce to make a quart of liquid concentrate... Since we drink this tea for 3 weeks (21 days) on, 1 week off, I feel it is best to make 1 1/2 pints (24 ounces) of the tea concentrate if this is used for one person. The daily use of the tea concentrate is 1 ounce, so for 3 weeks you will use 21 ounces, thus the 1 1/2 pint size works best. I make this tea concentrate just before going to bed so it can steep while I sleep. Always store the tea concentrate on the bottom shelf of the fridge as it is coldest there and the tea will last longer.

Here's how you make the tea concentrate.

1 1/2 Pint recipe: use 24 ounces (make 26 ounces as some will dissipate) of distilled water, add to a large glass, ceramic or stainless steel pot (8 to 12 quart size), add in 3/4 ounce of the Essiac Blend dry herbs and hard boil for 10 minutes, then place on very low heat (just enough to keep the tea warm) for 12 hours (lights off, light affects the tea).

After the 12 hours is up, reheat the pot to steaming, but not boiling, turn off heat and allow tea concentrate to sit for several minutes, then pour the tea through a plastic or stainless steel strainer into your glass jug and refrigerate (I actually stain into a bowl first, then pour into my glass jug, easier. The stuff in the strainer is also very healthy, I actually give it to my dogs in their food.. I personally won't eat it as this can mean too much detox since we are drinking the tea
