An objective assessment of this herbal tea and its long history is at
www.mdanderson.org/departments/cimer/
Click "Reviews of Therapies"
Click "Alphabetical List of Therapies"
and scroll down to the E's to find the link to Essiac.

As it has been around a long time and has never managed to develop a
mainstream following, I doubt that it is very useful as a cancer treatment.

Thanks for the link.

I read: "Some laboratory and animal studies of individual essiac
herbs have reported some evidence of effectiveness in antioxidation,
estrogen site binding competition, genetic protection, immune
stimulation, anti cell proliferation, laxative, and bile stimulating
activities. Reviews of these studies have generally concurred with
some evidence of effectiveness for individual herbs."

I think I will try it. I am already taking Graviola, though. I hope
that taking the two together will not do any harm.

I'm due for the mastectomy operation in a week or two, and will then
be referred to an oncologist for chemotherapy. Ah, If I could kill
all the tumerous cancer cells before with these "poudres de
perlinpinpin" !
