Yes I have used the essiac tea. I brewed it for my family & a friend for a

while. My friend had non hodgkins lymphoma stage 4. She eventually switched to

bottled tea --Flor-Essence. She lived much longer than the doctors said she

would with little or no pain. Recently I made some more for myself for cancer.

You can get the original recipe online. It uses 4 herbs easily obtained at the

health food store or online. Start easy. Hope this helps.

Hi Kim,

I'm so sorry about your mom.

We've got people in the group who used essiac, they just haven't chimed in

yet. Unfortunately, the search mechanism for the group messages hasn't

been working well, but you can certainly try a search to see if it brings up

previous discussions.

mom is that she can't eat veggies/fruit/nuts right now because she's got some

pretty awful " D " (sorry if that's a little too much info Docs have her on a

" low residue " diet which consists of white flour, meat and potatoes- how

terrible is that?! She literally can't tolerate what her body needs most right

now. I even tried juicing the veggies for her, but she was in so much pain, even

from that. She does feel better eating the pastas, etc., but I know those aren't

the nutrients that her body needs to fight cancer right now. Tough spot to be

in. I am hoping that after surgery she will be able to tolerate more so that we

can follow one of the more effective protocols (like Budwig).

I had Stage four non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in '91. It relapsed on me three

times--had two stem cell transplants. I used Essiac tea throughout, even between

relapses. Also used ginseng and astragalus. It really didn't help--the cancer

kept coming back. That's my experience. I don't know if there is any research

about Essiac's effects either on cancer cells or boosting the immune system.
