Guest guest Posted July 2, 2001 Report Share Posted July 2, 2001 Freeze what you cannot use in three days. Freeze it is three day size small jars. And take on out every three days. Anyting live will spoil in just a few days. If it was not spoiling soon you would know it was dead to start with. Do not freeze in plastic, unless you don't mind ingesting plastic. Donna -----Original Message----- Dear Group I' m having problems with my essiac tea. It is lasting about a week and then it is spoiling in the refrigerator. For the price, it seems it should last more than week. Does anyone in this group use essiac tea regularly and can they give me any hints. thanks in advance Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 31, 2001 Report Share Posted July 31, 2001 I had no discernable symptons or responses due to drinking of essiac tea. Those locally who drink it brewed, just do it and hope for the best. Two are in remission with cancer but this is only one of the protocals they use. I have never heard of anyone who used it alone and can say that's what did it for them. Like so many others, I am using any and all assets at my disposal.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2003 Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 I just found the name of the maker on my package of Essiac. It's made by Creator's Blessings and says that Creator's Blessings is a division of 's Club Inc. 2022 24th Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN 55406. Telephone number is 612-375-9079. Hope this helps. Maybe you could call and see where there is a local store carrying it???

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 I'm sorry, I didn't ask this question correctly. We've been making KT for quite a few years. We go between using green (gunpowder)tea and black tea. My father reciently had been diagnosed with cancer so I have been doing research. I came across this Essiac Tea....and have purchased some in bulk. My question is, brewing the KT using Essiac tea instead of our usual green or black tea... would it work?? Thank you for all your help already. Sabina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 Sabina, I was lucky enough to find some old notes about my KT, and noted that about 4 years ago when my friends husband was diagnosed with lung cancer, I started making KT for him. Then found Essiac tea and made that for him telling him to drink both, when he started to sometimes forget to drink the Essiac, I started mixing it with the KT at bottling time (example: in a 12ounce bottle I would put 8 ounces KT and 4 ounces Essiac) then, according to my notes, I started brewing the KT for him with 2 quarts of my regular tea, (I was using Tetley at the time) and 1 quart pre-made Essiac Tea. His tumor started to shrink and within a year the doctor said that the tumor was gone and at that time said he was virtually cancer free. I must point out that he had been drinking this in conjunction with the treatments he was getting from his doctor (radiation therapy and chemo). Even tho I begged and pleaded, he stopped drinking it when they stopped his treatments. Well, 1 year later the cancer returned. Again I begged and pleaded for them (him and hs wife) to get him back on the KT with Essiac, but they would not, and he died a year later of cancer. Even tho there is no way to prove how much the KT/Essiac had to do with his success, In my heart, I sincerely believe if he had continued with the KT/Essiac he would be here still.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 > > Hello, I have follocular carcinoma, a type of thyroid cancer, have any of you ever heard of or used essiac tea for cancer or other issues? How would it work with this diet? Also can you use the tea while > nursing? I have heard that you can't because it it too strong. > Thank you, Sherry Hi Sherry. Welcome to our group! Essiac tea would work okay with this diet for sure, but I do not know whether you can have it while breastfeedling. You could call the manufacturer and ask about it. I believe the very best cancer treatment is done by an Orthomolecular Physician, many of which use intravenous Vitamin C. I just bought a book on Vitamin C and Cancer that has many case studies of all types of cancer, which have been cured. It is important that they start out with smaller amounts and gradually increase it, and also that you do not go off vitamin C too soon after the treatments. Also see our Cancer folder which contains some articles about cancer and the candida connection, and other therapies that have cured cancer. I've known cancer patients that have tried Essiac Tea, but either they were too far gone or had other issues, particularly a very poor diet, because it didn't help them. See if you can find an Orthomolecular Physician in your area. If not, tell me what city you live in and I will try to help you. The best to you, Bee > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 If you are going to use Essiac tea make sure you use the one with only 4 ingredients with the sheep sorrel and you make it yourself. It is best to make it yourself because it is better for you. I was told by a Master herbalist that the premade was not as good as the fresh made. Also Essiac is easy to go bad so only make a 4th of it at a time. Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Part of this is incorrect. The eight-herb essiac has proven effective for many people over the past several decades. I agree with brewing your own and not making very much at a time, though.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Just a thought here. The one person that I personally know that did the 4 herb Essiac tea died (breast cancer.) I know two people that used Flor-Essence Essiac Tea and both were cured of their cancers. (Terminal lung cancer and Lymphoma) jp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 What kind of cancer do you have and what kind of essiac tea are you using? Thanks, Robyn I have been using Essiac Tea for almost 4 months. I have been using the Zapper along with the tea. By the time I had my surgery my 2 tumors, 2.7cm and 1.6cm, shrunk to 1 @ 1cm x 1cm x 2 cm. I have second thoughts about my surgery all the time. I also realize the information I got before were from Dr using machines. My byopsy report showed 2 tumors in Feb. In June only one tumor in final path. report. I am only one patient. With this information everyone still needs to make their own choices. Â Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 I don't know if you could brew KT with that, as the herbs are rather potent ones for detox, especially the turkey rhubarb . But prepared correctly you actually simmer this tea, refridgerate , & then take in small doses for cancer.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Hello Mandy, I have been lurking, and was moved to answer your question about essiac tea. I don't recognize many of the names, but would like to take an OT moment to say hello to Bev, Margret and Marge. It's watersprite It has been a long while:) To answer your question Mandy, yes you can. When a dear friend's husband was diagnosed with lung cancer, I was leary about it too. So at first I made him both KT and essiac. He too didn't like the essiac, so I started to bottle them together, two-thirds finished KT and one-third essiac. Then I started to brew it together. In a gallon batch I replaced one quart of sweet tea with one quart essiac tea. He liked it that way. He was receiving radiation therapy, however it wasn't until after he started drinking the essiac KT, that they started to remark that the growth was shrinking. Now I am not saying this was a cure,or that the essiac KT had anything to do with his remission. I'm just saying what happened.His doctors continued to be pleased by the rate that his growth was shrinking and He was declared cancer free within six months. After a couple of months he stopped drinking the tea. A year later the cancer returned. I was not brewing at the time, but I did try to get them to start brewing it. But they wouldn't. Sadly to say he passed away several months later. I can't help but wonder what would have happened if he continued to drink essiac KT, or if he had resumed drinking it. Regretably we'll never know. Well this is my first post to the list with a computer. I hope I am doing this right. Luv & Hugs, Sprite > > hi all > just wondering if i could use essiac tea to make a brew?

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Mandy: As for the KT, I was using Bev's recipe from her website.I was using tetley tea bags. And for the essiac tea, I used a premixed blend that I bought at a local health food store. It was a 4 ounce bag with a blend of Organic burdock root,Organic Sheep Sorrel,Slippery Elm bark,and Organic Turkey Rhubarb. It was Camas Prairie Tea, Rene Caisse's Original formula. It was put out by Trout Lake Farm Co. Trout Lake, Washington. The directions for a gallon said to use a gallon of fresh spring or distilled water and all 4 ounces. The directions for a quart called for one quart of fresh spring or distilled water and 4 level tablespoons (1 ounce) of the herbal tea blend. The directions were: 1. Bring water to a boil, stir in tea, and cover. 2.Simmer for 10 minutes,remove from heat and stir. 3.Cover and refrigerate for 12 hours. 4.Stir,cover,bring back to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat. 5.Strain through a fine mesh strainer. Funnel into clean amber glass bottles and cap. Now at this point it says to tighten caps after cooling and refrigerate. I used quart bottles. So I refrigerated three, and used one to make the essiac KT. At the time my brew time was 7 days. The essiac tea said it was good for three weeks so I used the last qusrt on the third week so it worked out fine for me. I just had to remember to take the quart out of the fridge on brew day so it would get to room temp by the time I was ready to add it to the brew. He was drinking 8 ounces a day. I hope this helps you. Luckily I saved a bag so I still had the original directions. If you decide to do this, keep us posted. Inquiring minds want to know.
