--S-A-- [CancerTutor] Essiac: Nature's Cure for Cancer (AIDS, Etc.)

[Guest guest]

Moderator's Note: Who decides, what is their background and what are their

financial and other interests in cancer cures? How do they decide and determine

which level of cancer treatment each treatment is capable of? I asked my

homeopathic teacher to review Oleander, he grabbed his materia medica (Oleander

is used homeopathically) and researched what was said about it. He did not find

any reference to it's use in cancer. What does that mean? Not sure. I don't

think it necessarily speaks to the herbal use, though I would have been

delighted if it was also reflected in the very elaborate and well documented

homeopathic literature. I say this just to point out there are many thoughts and

views.

 

I would not say Tai Chi is better than Yoga or that Ozone is better than

breathing exercises. This is a place for us to explore, a buffet if you will to

give everyone a chance to taste a little of all the stuff that is out there-

then they can go and do their own homework. I prefer that we don't bad speak

Essiac, people have been helped by it- and the person who is searching for

alternatives should do their own research and come to their own conclusions. It

is not our place to say this is better than that, unless we are willing to do a

group exercise where we do put things to the test and report as a group as to

the results.

Although Cancertutor has the Essiac article posted on the website, Webster

Kehr does not recommend Essaic as a treatment for cancer, nor does he list

it as a strong cancer treatment. Oleander, by comparison, is rated as a

strong Stage 3 treatment (and would likely be rated as a Stage 4 treatment

if there were any follow-up and support available - a requirement for being

listed as a recommended Stage 4 treatment).

 

I asked Webster why he did not recommend Essiac, and he replied: I recommend

Essiac Tea for detoxing the liver. I do not recommend it as a treatment for

cancer because the herbs have been dehydrated, stored, etc.

 

Ann Fonfa, founder of the Annie Appleseed organization, lists four studies

on her website - two are positive and two are not, and she says of her own

experience: I took this for some months after I had surgery for breast

cancer. I did not notice any benefit at that time. However, I was not very

aware of my body and may not have been able to tell if I was helped in any

way.

 

I would really like to be able to recommend Essiac Tea more strongly myself,

but it just seems that for every positive story or result, you see a

negative one - and such is not the case with things I recommend strongest,

such as oleander, ABM mushroom, cat's claw, etc.
