Essiac: Nature's Cure for Cancer

http://www.cancertutor.com/Cancer/Mirror-Essiac.html

 

An Interview with Dr Gary Glum by Elisabeth Robinson.

 

This is the story of a woman named Rene Caisse. For more than 50

years until her death in 1978 at the age of 90, she treated

thousands of cancer patients, most of them written off by doctors as

terminally ill, with her own secret formula. She called it Essiac -

Caisse spelt backwards - and she brewed the tea herself, alone in

her kitchen. Her patients swore by her. Men and women who believed

she cured them of cancer, told their friends and families, wrote

letters to politicians, swore affidavits, testified before the

Canadian Parliament and pleaded with Rene to supply them with more

Essiac. Husbands and wives of patients who died, wrote Rene letters

thanking her profoundly for making life easier - free of pain- and

longer for their loved ones. Her funeral in Bracebridge, about 170

km north of Toronto, was attended by hundreds of people including

former patients Rene had treated for terminal cancer as far back as

the 1930's and who were still on their feet to bury her and tell

their stories.

 

The controversy Essiac inspires raged in Canada since the 1920's

every few years in the public glare of the press, involving the

highest medical, legal and political circles in Canada. But always

that controversy centered on this one woman in the tiny village of

Bracebridge, pop 9,000 or so. Rene Caisse was an unlikely public

figure. She was a skilled nurse who didn't crave attention or

money. " I never had $100 I could call my own " she used to laugh. She

didn't charge a fee. She accepted only voluntary contributions -

fruits, vegetables or eggs as often as not - from those who could

afford them, and she didn't turn away people who couldn't make any

payment at all.

 

The mayor of Bracebridge, Jim Lang, gave me a friendly greeting,

said he was happy that someone was looking into the story of Rene

Caisse, and got right to the point: She cured people that were given

up on by doctors - totally given up on. They said, " You're going to

die and there is nothing we can do about it. And then they went to

Rene and 20 years later they were still walking. I know that for a

fact because I knew Rene for probably 25 years. "

 

She refused to reveal the formula to the Canadian government, the

Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Centre in New York - the world's

largest private cancer research centre - and the National Cancer

Institute, just to name some of the institutions that wanted the

formula at one time or another. She wouldn't give them the formula

until they would admit that Essiac had merit as a treatment for

cancer. They refused to admit any merit until she gave them the

formula. There were legitimate arguments made on both sides. The

result was a tragic standoff.

 

This book tells the incredible story of Rene Caisse and her lifetime

battle to bring forth Essiac, and reveals for the first time

publicly how to acquire the formula to prepare Essiac in the privacy

of your own home.

 

" The results we obtained with thousands of patients of various

races, sexes and ages, with all types of cancer, definitely prove

Essiac to be a cure for cancer. All studies done in four

laboratories in the United States and one more in Canada fortify

this claim. "

INTRODUCTION

 

Rene Caisse was a nurse living in Canada who for a period of almost

sixty years treated hundreds of people with an herbal remedy she

called Essiac. She discovered this remedy through a patient in the

hospital where she worked who had been cured of cancer. The patient

had used an herbal remedy given her by an Ojibway herbalist.

 

Rene left the hospital in 1922 at age 33, and went to Bracebridge,

Ontario, Canada where she began administering Essiac to all who came

to her. The majority of those whom she treated came on referral with

letters from their physicians certifying they had incurable or

terminal forms of cancer and that they had been given up by the

medical profession as untreatable.

 

Rene began gathering the plants and preparing the herbal remedy

herself in her own kitchen, in a building lent her for her patients.

She administered Essiac both orally and by injection. In cases where

there was severe damage to life support organs, her patients died ---

but they lived far longer than the medical profession had

predicted, and, more significantly, they lived free of pain. Still

others, listed as hopeless and terminal, but without severe damage

to life support organs, were cured and lived 35-45 years (many are

still living).

 

So startling was the effectiveness of this simple herbal remedy, it

could not be ignored, and the Canadian Ministry of Health and

Welfare and the Parliament became involved. Friends, former

patients, and grateful families petitioned Canadian officialdom for

Rene Caisse's right to administer the remedy to anyone who asked for

it without the threat of interference from authorities. Fifty-five

thousand signatures were collected on the petition. In 1938, Essiac

came within three votes of being legalized by the Ontario government

as a remedy for terminal cancer patients.

 

The story of Rene Caisse, her life, her work, and the effectiveness

of the remedy she named Essiac, is told in a book Sun Bear received

Calling of an Angel by Dr Gary L. Glum of Los Angeles. After reading

the book and finding it to be informative, well documented and

moving, I decided to interview Dr Glum. I verified the basic

information in this book through Canadian sources, one an herbalist

who knows of Rene Caisse and her work and who has personally made

and successfully used Essiac.

 

As I completed my second conversation with Dr Glum, he said, " You're

opening a Pandora's Box here, publishing this interview about

Essiac. " I disagreed, but began thinking about Pandora's " box " . In

the story of Pandora most well-known today, she is sent to the gods

to curse humanity for offending them.

 

Pandora is given a " box " or container with instructions not to open

it, which the gods know she will disobey. When Pandora does open the

box, famine, war, plague, disease, pestilence --- all the ills of

humanity --- are released. Then at the last comes hope, an antidote

to despair.

 

But according to Barbara Walker's Encyclopedia, Pandora --- whose

name means " all giving " was originally an image for Mother Earth.

She had, not a box, but a honey vase like the Cornucopia from which

flowed all life and creativity, as well as death and rebirth ---

Earth's gifts to her children. Because we are natural beings in a

natural world, it seems appropriate that a simple remedy composed of

four common herbs, gifts of Earth, would suggest so much promise for

us today.

 

INTERVIEW WITH DR GLUM

 

Elisabeth Robinson: To begin with, Dr Glum, can you tell us a little

about how you became interested in the story you tell in Calling of

an Angel, and how you learned about Rene Caisse and her work?

 

Dr Gary Glum: A personal friend of mine knew this woman, whose name

I have promised not to reveal, who was living in Detroit, Michigan.

Twenty years ago she had been diagnosed with cervical cancer in a

Detroit hospital; where she was eventually given up as incurable and

terminal. She was given about ten days to live.

 

She convinced her husband to make a trip to Bracebridge, Canada

where she went to see Rene Caisse. She was treated with the herbal

remedy developed by Rene --- Essiac --- and in a short time she

didn't have a cancer cell in her body. So after that time this woman

began dedicating her life to disseminating information about Essiac

in the United States. When I met her, she was the only person in

possession of the original herbal formula who would relinquish it. I

got the formula for Essiac from her.

 

That's how it began. When I started, all I had was a piece of paper.

I thought, what am I going to do with this? I decided, the best way

to go would be to find the information behind Essiac and put it in

book form and bring it to the world.

 

I learned about Rene Caisse from Mary McPherson who was a very close

personal friend of Rene's, not only a friend but also a patient.

Mary's mother and her husband were also patients. They were all

treated for cancer and cured by Rene.

 

Mary worked with Rene beginning in the 1930's and she had in her

possession all the documents that had to do with Essiac over the 40

years Rene administered it. All the documents Rene had were

destroyed by the Canadian Ministry of Health & Welfare at the time

of her death in 1978. They burned all that information in fifty five

gallon drums behind her home.

 

ER: Why?

 

GG: Because they don't want this information in the hands of the

public or the press or anybody else. They indeed found out what

Essiac was in 1937. The Royal Cancer Commission hearings had then

come to the same conclusions that Rene had - that Essiac was a cure

for cancer.

 

ER: What is Essiac exactly?

 

GG: Essiac is a non-toxic herbal cure for cancer that's been in use

with us since 1922. It's a formula made from four very common herbs.

 

ER: I would guess that virtually every person in the U.S. today has

been touched by cancer, either personally or through a loved one. If

this information is true, and the effectiveness of this remedy is

actually medically documented, many lives could be saved. Why do you

think the information on Essiac is not more widely known?

 

GG: The information is withheld because cancer is the second largest

revenue producing business in the world, next to the petrochemical

business. Money and power suppress this truth.

 

No-one has ever sought to cure cancer - only control it. I mean, the

research institutes, federal governments, pharmaceutical companies,

anybody that has a vested interest in the health care of cancer,

including the American Cancer Society, any of these stalled

benefactors to those who have contracted the disease - all of these

institutes are involved in the money and power around cancer.

 

These institutions have influence over government and regulatory

agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration.. The FDA

recommends only allopathic treatments for cancer and other life

threatening diseases. It does not approve nor make legal alternative

treatments of any kind.

 

ER: You're saying the Essiac is in a position similar to, for

example, laetril.

 

GG: Yes, the only reason laetril was stopped - and it couldn't be

stopped any other way - was through the insurance companies. The

insurance companies sent down a directive to all allopathic

physicians stating that they could not cover them in any malpractice

suit in the event they were treating people with any substance not

approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

 

ER: In your book you mention that the Brusch Clinic in Massachusetts

worked with Rene Caisse and with Essiac, during the 1960s. Is this

clinic still doing research with Essiac?

 

GG: Dr Charles A Brusch is not practicing at this time. He was a

personal physician to the late President John F Kennedy. Dr. Brusch

worked with Rene Caisse from 1959 to 1962. He worked with thousands

of cancer patients. He also worked with the Presidential Cancer

Commission, with others like Dr Armand Hammer, the American Cancer

Society, and the National Cancer Institute.

 

Dr Brusch presented his findings after ten years of research. He had

come to the conclusion that " Essiac is a cure for cancer, period. "

All studies done at laboratories in the United States and Canada

support this conclusion.

 

Whereupon the Federal Government issued a gag order and

said, " You've got one of two choices, either you keep quiet about

this or we'll haul you off to military prison and you'll never be

heard of again, " so we never heard another word out of him.

 

Brusch's Essiac patients included Ted Kennedy's son who had a

sarcoma in his leg, and who had his leg amputated. He was being

treated at the time by the Farber Cancer Institute in Boston,

Massachusetts. Dr. Farber didn't know how to save him, because no-

one had ever lived with this type of sarcoma. So what he did was go

to Dr. Brusch and say, how are we going to save Ted Kennedy's son?

And Dr. Brusch made the suggestion to put him on Essiac, and after

they did, he didn't have a cancer cell in his body. But all this

information has been hidden from the public.

 

ER: Why?

 

GG: As I said, money and power.

 

ER: Do you know whether the remedy is being used or tested anywhere

today in the U.S. or Canada?

 

GG: Right now Essiac is being used in every state in the United

States, it's throughout Canada and into Mexico, its in Australia,

Europe, Asia, and, recently, also in Africa. And the message of

Essiac is beginning to make it's way worldwide. But it's still known

on a very limited basis.

 

Of course now you also have the problem of herbal distributing

companies throughout the world that are substituting ...low dock and

curly dock for sheep's sorrel, which is one of the crucial

ingredients in Essiac.

 

The sheep's sorrel is the herbal ingredient in Essiac that was found

to be responsible for the destruction of cancer cells in the body,

or their amalgamation where ...astasized cancer cells actually

return to the original tumor site.

 

That research was done by Dr Chester ....ck at Sloan-Kettering in

New York for over a three year period. But when they gathered that

information, they withheld it from the general public - yet they

gave it to the Canadian Ministry of Health and Welfare. The Canadian

government then immediately banned the herb for sale and

distribution.

 

ER: Banned a common weed like sheep's sorrel?

 

GG: Yes, sheep's sorrel is just a common weed that grows in

abundance throughout North America. Just a common weed. (Note: After

this interview was completed, Wildfire learned from an herbalist in

Canada that the Canadian government has recently banned St John's

Wort, also a common weed frequently used by herbalists.)

 

ER: Well, it seems banning sheep's sorrel would not be very

effective if you could identify it for yourself.

 

GG: Yes, it's just a question of identifying the plant and then

harvesting it correctly and drying it properly and then putting it

together with the other herbs.

 

Rene would harvest the sheep's sorrel -Rumex acetosella- when it was

four to six inches high. She cut it back and would let it grow up

again, and she'd cut it back again. She would do that about three

times and then she would let it go to seed. It will grow to about 14

or 18 inches.

 

She would take the herb cuttings home and lay them out at room

temperature to dry them. She let the cuttings sit there for three or

four days before she'd begin turning the herbs. Then she'd turn them

every two days until they were properly dry, which took about ten

days to two weeks. It takes about a bushel of harvested sheep's

sorrel to produce one pound of the dried powdered herb which is used

in the formula.

 

ER: Do you have the formula? It's not in your book. You do mention a

video in the book.

 

GG: Yes I have it. Anyone can get it from me, free of charge. We

don't sell the video anymore. We simply mail the formula to anyone

who asks for it.

 

ER: Sun Bear told me you had problems getting the book published and

distributed. What kind of problems?

 

GG: There wasn't a publishing company that would publish it. No one

wanted to run the risk of a wrongful death suit. So I published the

book myself. And as soon as I did, the IRS came in and slapped about

a half a million dollars in tax liens against me and said, " You know

this has got nothing to do with taxes. It's all about cancer. " They

actually started hauling the pallets of books out of my medical

practice offices and confiscating them. I also had thousands of

books that were confiscated by the Canadian government at customs. I

have never received any of those books back. The only ones I have

now are hidden in storage facilities.

 

ER: That's incredible - why do you think they are so interested in

keeping this book out of circulation?

 

GG: Money and power, as I've said. Cancer is the largest revenue

producing business in the world next to the petrochemical business.

In Canada the book is being held up by the Ministry of Health &

Welfare because they say it is " advertising. "

 

ER: Advertising what? The video you don't sell any more?

 

GG: No, a cure for cancer.

 

ER: Can you explain what you mean by the publishers fearing a

wrongful death suit?

 

GG: What you're dealing with is giving people a formula that they

can make and use in the privacy of their own homes without the

approval of the AMA or FDA or anybody else. If an attorney or any

family member should decide, for whatever reason, that the reason

someone expired was from the use of Essiac, then you are putting

yourself up for a wrongful death suit. The contention is that if it

isn't approved by the Food and Drug Administration, there's no

legality in using it when you're dealing with a life threatening

disease.

 

When Rene Caisse set up her clinical trials in Canada to test

Essiac, she was given government permission to treat terminally ill

cancer patients who had been given up for hopeless by the medical

profession. That was one criteria. Secondly, this was all to be

certified by a pathology report. And third, she could not charge

anything for her services. She agreed to all these criteria and

proceeded to treat people with Essiac. Many she treated were still

here 35 years later to bury her when she died at age 90.

 

The best that anyone can do is try to disseminate this information

to the public and let people make their own choices. That's all you

can do. And just say, look, if you feel that Essiac has value in

your life and the lives of your loved ones, you have the right to

use it in the privacy of your own home and without anyone's

approval.

 

You know, in 1937 Essiac came within three votes of being legalized

as a treatment for cancer. People had garnered over fiftyfive

thousand signatures on a petition to allow Rene to continue to use

Essiac. The only reason the vote fell short, she found out years

later, was that the College of Physicians and Surgeons met and said

to the Parliament, if you don't respond to the political pressure

and legalize Essiac, then we'll take a sincere look and give this

woman a fair hearing. So Parliament didn't legalize Essiac.

 

So following the Royal Cancer Commission hearings Rene was allowed

to continue her practice but only within the criteria I mentioned

before, which allowed the Ministry of Health & Welfare to restrict

peoples access to Essiac treatments.

 

I know this because I have a copy of the hearing transcripts which I

got from Mary McPherson, which is some of the information that

didn't get burned when Rene died.

 

ER: You mentioned earlier. What exactly was burned?

 

GG: All her research for that 40 year period of time. All the names,

all her clinical data that she had collected. All her files.

 

ER: What about the records of the Brusch Clinic? It seems these

would be convincing evidence.

 

GG: As far as I know all that material has been destroyed also. I

knew that Rene had worked with Dr Brusch from 1959 to 1962, so I

went to Dr Brusch's home in Cambridge, Massachusetts whereupon he

delivered me the only materials he had left in his files on Essiac.

One of those files was his own personal file where he had treated

and cured his own cancer with Essiac. I have his personal records.

 

All the information in my book is verified by a sheet of paper with

a signature and date on it, and those sheets and signatures are all

originals. They are not copies.

 

ER: Have you had any personal experiences with Essiac?

 

GG: Yes, I can give you an example. He was a twelve year old boy

named Toby Wood. He had acute lymphoblastic, which is one of the

most virulent of all leukemias.

 

He had been on chemotherapy for four years and radiation for three.

His mother's only hope in life was to find a cure for him. She went

everywhere. She tried every alternative treatment.

 

Her last stop was Dr Alvados in Athens, Greece where her son's white

blood cell count was 186,000. He had no red blood cells or

platelets. He was hemorrhaging to death. So they transfused Toby in

Greece, and put him on a plane to Alaska where he was given five

days to live.

 

I met his mother's sister in Los Angeles while I was putting the

book together and she asked if there was any credibility here. We

sat down and talked. She then borrowed the money for a flight to

Anchorage, and delivered a bottle of Essiac. By the time she got

there Toby had three days to live. He was in a state of complete

deterioration. He was given the Essiac and all the hemorrhaging

stopped within 24 hours. Within three months all his blood tests

were normal. I arrived in Alaska later that year and met him.

 

Toby Wood did die, and we finally found a pathologist who would do

an exhaustive autopsy. We knew that he didn't have leukemia anymore.

We wanted to find out the cause of death. It took four months to get

the report back. The pathologist autopsied the brain, testicles, and

all life support organs, including the bone marrow. No blast cells

were found in any life support organ. There were a few stray cells

in the testicles and the brain. Cause of death was damage to the

myocardial sac of the heart, a result of the chemotherapy.

 

This was the first report anywhere in medical history of anyone

surviving lymphoblastic leukemia. That information was taken to AP

and UPI but they said it was not newsworthy.

 

Our information on Essiac has been sent around the world twice

through Publishers Weekly magazine in a huge two page ad. We

received no responses at all from any publishing company worldwide,

no producers, no directors throughout the United States, no talk

show programs, none of that. We can't access the media. In fact we

talked to Philip Scheffler, producer of 60 Minutes. He read the book

and we called him to ask him what he was going to do about it. He

said, nothing. I said all the information in the book is verifiable.

In other words it's the truth. I said if you're 60 minutes why don't

you expose me and Essiac as a fraud. He said. nope, can't do it.

 

We took it to Joe Donally who is the executive news producer for ABC

in New York. We said why not give it to Peter Jennings, Geraldo

Rivera, Ted Koppel, one of those? He said, nope. We asked why not?

He said because his phone lines would be invaded with 65,000 phone

calls. We said, how sympathetic do you think a parent whose child is

dying from leukemia would be to your 65,000 phone calls. He went on

to say he's got a mortgage on his house and he's looking forward to

retirement.

 

So that's the problem. No one wants this information disseminated.

And it's not just the media, either. It includes the herbal

companies who are now substituting curly dock for sheep's sorrel. So

people are getting the wrong ingredients for Essiac, not to mention

the five or six other formulas that are circulating which are

different from the one I send out. These false formulas are being

disseminated. There is a disinformation campaign going on here,

somehow.

 

ER: Has this disinformation campaign started just since your book

has been out?

 

GG: Previous to my book, none of this information was available to

the general public at all. The public had no information outside a

few assorted articles. Certainly the Essiac formula was not

available to the general public at all. All that information was

held by the Resperin Corporation in Toronto, Canada, which

supposedly is a private institution.

 

However, they work hand in glove with the Canadian Ministry of

Health & Welfare, who works directly with the American Food and Drug

Administration and the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda,

Maryland. The Essiac formula was never given to anyone by Resperin.

 

ER: Did the Resperin Corporation do any research on Essiac?

 

GG: They've done research since 1978 when the formula was

relinquished to them by Rene for the purchase price of one dollar.

As soon as they got the formula, they told Rene they had no further

use for her. She had been under the distinct impression from the

Ministry of Health & Welfare and the Resperin Corporation that she

was to lead research activities that they so desperately wanted to

put together.

 

But Rene had already done clinical trials. She had names and

records. She thought the Resperin Corporation was politically

powerful and had money enough to get Essiac into the public sector

without compromising her values. Then she found out the Corporation

was working closely with the government and administration and the

Ministry of Health & Welfare.

 

So now people who were terminally ill given up as hopeless had to go

through a federal bureaucratic maze to get the remedy. By then, for

most of these people, it was too late. But even when people were

cured, that information was not released to the public.

 

Resperin ran research tests on Essiac. One test was done in Northern

Canada and the documents were falsified. For example, one man was

listed as dead who a few months later knocked on Rene's door and

said, " You know I want to thank you for the Essiac and for being

part of this experimental program. Yet he was listed as dead in the

research findings.

 

ER: It's beginning to seem amazing to me that any information at all

about this remedy has survived the " conspiracy of silence " or

outright destruction of records and so on.

 

GG: The only reason Essiac is known to the public is by word of

mouth and because Essiac is what it is. What will keep Essiac known

is it's effectiveness. Rene said it years ago. She said, look, if

Essiac doesn't have any merit let me put it out there. If it doesn't

have any merit it will kill itself. Of course she knew full well if

people had the correct herbs, the remedy would stand on its own..

And that is exactly what Essiac has done over this period of time

that we've been disseminating the information.

 

Rene also found that Essiac was a strong preventative. These

findings were substantiated by Dr Albert Schatz at Temple University

who discovered the cure for tuberculosis.

 

Rene also found that Essiac would normalise the thyroid gland. My

wife was on two grains of thyroid since the sixth grade. After I met

her, she started taking Essiac, and she hasn't taken a grain of

thyroid since.

 

Rene also found that Essiac would heal stomach ulcers within three

to four weeks. She felt that ulcers were a precursor to cancer.

 

Sir Frederick Banting, the co-discoverer of insulin, wanted to work

with Rene. She had clinical cases where a person on insulin

discontinued it with the Essiac, since no one knew how Essiac

interacted with the insulin. Apparently Essiac regulated the

pancreas in cases of diabetes mellitus. So these people then came

insulin free.

 

Another thing I've found with Essiac is that I've experienced almost

perfect health. As you get older you think, well, I'm forty now,

these things happen. Well, these things don't have to happen. Since

I've taken Essiac, I've experienced almost perfect health. It's

amazing. I sleep like a baby, have all kinds of energy, and no

sickness, not even a cold or the flu.

 

I also worked with the AIDS Project Los Angeles through their Long

Beach and San Pedro districts. They had sent 179 patients home to

die. They all had pneumocystis carinii and histoplasmosis. Their

weight was down to about 100 pounds. Their T-4 cell counts were less

that ten. The Project gave me five of these patients. I took them

off the AZT and the DDI and put them on Essiac three times a day.

Those are the only ones alive today. The other 174 are dead.

 

ER: That is incredible - but what kind of lives are they leading

today?

 

GG: They're exercising three times a day, eating three meals a day.

Their weight is back to normal. For all intents and purposes you

wouldn't know they had a sick day in their lives. But this

information is not being disseminated either, because AIDS is on the

horizon as another big moneymaker. The chairman of the AIDS Project

in Los Angeles makes over $100,000 a year.

 

Even the alternative health care professionals are out there to

control, not to cure. Alternative medical practice is just as

mercenary and deceptive as the allopathic. No one wants a cure for

cancer or AIDS.

 

The alternative people are also in it for the money. What you're

finding with Essiac is that it is not even allowed into the arenas

of the alternative health care. So really what you've got out here

is people continually perpetrating these lies against mankind. For

money. For money and power. It's that simple.

 

Really once you think about it, the only reason we don't have solar

power is that no one's figured out a way to sell Exxon the sun. It's

true. If they could, you'd have solar power. You know you'd have it.

 

ER: So, in your own personal experience, this herbal remedy works

to " cure " cancer, thyroid conditions, diabetes, AIDS, ulcers...

 

GG: It also cures the common cold. Essiac elevates the immune

system. I've been taking one ounce a day for seven years, and in

seven years I haven't had a cold, flu or virus.

 

ER: And all of this from a simple Native herbal remedy?

 

GG: Yes. Although Rene did alter it. She altered it with Turkish

Rhubarb root -rheum palmatum . Turkish rhubarb root has a 5,000 year

history. It actually came up from India into China and then was

taken by the British.

 

ER: Turkish rhubarb root is not native to this country, nor

available here. Herbs from foreign countries are fumigated and

irradiated, so is it a good idea to use the Turkish rhubarb root?

 

GG: You can substitute ordinary rhubarb root. The other two

ingredients are burdock root -arctium lappa - and the inner bark of

the slippery elm -ulmus fulva . They are easy to obtain, usually.

Sheep's sorrel -rumex acetosella is what destroys the cancer cells.

The other three herbs are blood purifiers.

 

Essiac elevates the enzyme system and gives all cancer patients and

all AIDS patients the enzymes that have been destroyed. Essiac

elevates the enzyme system; it elevates the hormone system, which

elevates the immune system, so the body can cure it's own disease.

 

ER: What about quantities?

 

GG: Even its worst enemy could never lay claim that Essiac had any

deleterious side effects whatever. You can take Essiac safely,

through all the clinical trials that have been done, up to six

ounces a day. That's two ounces in the evening, two at midday and

two in the morning. That's a high dosage. Rene had the correct herbs

and she used as little as one ounce a week.

 

But look at the difference between then and now. The food didn't

have carcinogens in it, and neither did the water, nor the air. So

what have we done? We've killed the air, killed the water, killed

the food. So what's left?

 

Nationwide, in the water we drink, over 2,100 organic and inorganic

chemicals have been identified, and 156 of them are pure

carcinogens. Of those, if you have a tumor, 26 are tumor promoting ,

so they make the tumor larger. But of course this information is not

available to the public either. Those figures are from tests

conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency which have never

been distributed to the public.

 

ER: How did you get the information?

 

GG: From a Ralph Nader organization out of Washington DC. The media

has not disseminated this information. Another problem is that very

few people read books any more. We can only hope they'll read

Calling of an Angel . Of course the problem right now is people

getting the right herbs.

 

ER: Anything you'd like to add before we close this interview?

 

GG: I would like to say that I didn't do all this research because I

feel I have a responsibility to other people. I did it because I

have a responsibility to myself. I know that I've done all I can do

to disseminate this information to the people.

 

I was the first person to release this information to the public and

say, here it is, here's the formula, here's the story. So now the

story is out there and look what is happening - its getting killed

through a disinformation campaign. I mean Harvard, Temple, Tufts,

Northwestern University, Chicago - all these institutions have

tested Essiac with the right stuff, and they all came to the same

conclusions as Rene Caisse. But all that information has been

buried.

 

ER: Gary, it's been very interesting to speak with you.

 

GG: It's been a pleasure. You're opening a Pandora's Box, you know,

publishing this interview.

 

ER: I think you're the one who's done that. Would you tell people

how to get your book and the information on Essiac?

 

GG: They simply call me in California at 310-271-9931. The book is

$35.00. The formula is free.
