Essiac Tea
5 Essiac Tea Benefits
1. Natural Cancer Fighter
When it comes to cancer, there are more testimonials than conclusive scientific studies about Essiac tea’s benefits. However, a study published in The Canadian Journal of Urology showed that a 64-year-old man went into remission from hormone-refractory prostate cancer, and the remission was attributed to his consumption of Essiac. (2)
All of the herbs in Essiac tea have been reported to have antioxidant and anti-cancer effects. Essiac itself has also been reported to demonstrate anti-cancer activity in vitro. A study in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology examined the effects of Essiac on free radical scavenging and DNA damage. The data from the study showed that Essiac tea possesses potent antioxidant and DNA-protective activity, two key properties common to natural anti-cancer agents. (3)
Some doctors like Dr. Murray Susser in Los Angeles, California have seen Essiac tea extend the life of cancer patients by many years and have also seen it work in place of conventional chemo therapy.
2. Anti-Inflammatory
When consumed, Essiac tea acts as a natural anti-inflammatory agent throughout the body. Since inflammation is at the root of practically all diseases, Essiac can be helpful for such a wide range of ailments. Essiac can be especially helpful when it comes to treating the inflammation and chronic pain associated with arthritis, cancer and HIV. (4)
Sheep sorrel, one of the four key ingredients in Essiac tea, is commonly used to help reduce inflammation and pain that accompanies sinusitis. The tannins present in sheep sorrel also help to decrease the overproduction of mucus.
3. Strengthens Immune System
In vitro analysis of Essiac shows that it has significant antioxidant and immunomodulatory properties. It also exhibited the the ability to kill off tumor cells. (5) The burdock root in Essiac tea helps detox the lymphatic system, a process which is excellent for the immune system and body as a whole.
4. Detoxify the Body
Essiac tea contains burdock root, an awesome blood purifier that clears out toxins from the bloodstream. In addition, Indian or Turkey rhubarb root also helps detoxify the system by acting as a gentle yet highly effective laxative. It also helps support a liver cleanse by removing waste from the liver, furthering Essiac tea’s detoxifying effects since the liver is our most detoxifying organ. Used traditionally in small amounts, this herb acts as a gently laxative and helps purge the liver of toxic buildup and waste.
5. Improves Gastrointestinal Problems
Essiac tea’s slippery elm is amazing when it comes to gastrointestinal issues. Slippery elm contains mucilage, a substance that becomes a slick gel when mixed with water. This mucilage coats and soothes the lining of the mouth, throat, stomach and intestines. Slippery elm is also high in antioxidants and calms the inflammation that comes with gastrointestinal conditions.
Slippery elm also causes reflux stimulation of nerve endings in the gastrointestinal tract, which leads to increased mucus secretion. The increased mucus levels can guard the gastrointestinal tract against excess acidity as well as ulcers. Slippery elm is commonly suggested for sore throats, coughs, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). (6)
Indian or Turkey rhubarb further helps the gastrointestinal system. The rhubarb contains malic acid that helps the body to make ATP more efficiently, aiding in energy levels and healing, which has a positive and balancing effect on the whole digestive system.

Hello, thats what brought you to this site, your undernourished or are dying of some disease.
Let me read what is in a common can of beans.
1 : The can is linked with toxic chemicals.
2 : Haricot beans 44%
2 : Tomato puree 27%
3 : Water
4 : sugar
5 : glucose-fructose syrup
6 : Modified Maize starch
7 : Onion powder
8 : paprika
9 : Maltodextrin
10 : Spice extracts
11 : Flavouring.
So 44% beans!, 27% tomato puree leaving 29% that we did not want. 4 and 5 we definitely did not want. Flavouring? Acids? Can lined with toxic coating?
What about all the chemicals in our vegetables? Did you ever look at toothpaste? Sugar loaded. Would you ever wipe your bum with a shitty cloth? So why clean your teeth with sugar?
I go into Tescos and immediately I meet “death row” you know the tobacconist. Then I meet the sweetie counter, another “death row”. I venture further through the undernourished veggie area and on to the prepared foods. They say something on the cans which turns out the least of what is in the can! Chemicals that you have to a scientist to understand let alone know the health value. Then the bread counters, you know the bread that never goes stale! The meat counters full of dubious meats which you do not know how they were fed and how they were kept! But at last at the very end of the shop you are saved. The chemist is there with the many chemicals to supplement the junk food that you are going feed your loved ones.
Since the event of the supermarkets with cheap food we eat too much. After meat and three veg we are still hungry so we eat second portion. Gorged but still hungry. We are not hungry, we are starving, starving of missing vitamins, minerals and trace elements.
Your body gives you a signal not that you are hungry but missing nourishment. You brain misunderstands this signal and thinks it is hunger so you eat a second portion. The human body, like all animals, stores excess food, stuffs it down mum’s knicker legs so her bum reaches down to the back of her knees and dad stores it around his midriff.
We know that this storage eventually leads to cancer! But what the heck, not now, twenty years later!
Many a time I have had a Chinese meal, £30, and walking home a mile down the road I have dived into the chippy because I was hungry. No, I was not hungry I was starving. Starving from the lack of nourishment. I think of my intestines as lined with little fingers searching through the passing food. The take out all the goodness that they require then settle down but some little fingers are still searching for their particular nourishment and signal the brain from their agitation that they have not been fed and the brain mistakenly signals hunger and we consume some more of the same undernourishment junk till we gorge the belly by mistake. We continually gorge on junk. Hence Britain is a fat unhealthy nation just like the Yanks.
Pharmacies are great businesses. Doctors do not want to cure because they do not search out the root causes of disease, they just treat the symptoms.
