When treating something as serious as cancer, Rene Caisse was convinced that the Sheep Sorrel roots were essential. The rutins and polysaccharides in the Sheep Sorrel help to prevent and dissuade cancerous growths. The beta-carotene helps to increase the production of cancer killing T cells. The chlorophyll in Sheep Sorrel has many amazing benefits too. It helps to decrease swelling, strengthens cell walls, promotes tissue regeneration and assists in detoxifying the liver. The Sheep Sorrel is also said to reduce the side effects of chemo.
If you want the most comprehensive information on Essiac Tea, you can go to www.healthfreedom.info. From there you can order through www.essiac-tea.org. It is certified organic and very reputable. Plus, the Sheep Sorrel is wildcrafted in the Pacific Northwest of the U.S. so you don't have to worry about irradiation. The other 3 herbs are also grown within the U.S.
It's a pretty simple process as long as you follow the directions precisely. When I brew it I use a 1 cup measuring device with a handle. Since 3 of the herbs are powdered, it creates a lot of sediment. When you are ready to bottle it, very gently and slowly dip the handled cup into the mix so as not to disturb the sediment. You will also want to use a very fine, no paper filter to remove as much as possible before bottling. When you get towards the end, tip the pot gently at an angle so as not to disturb the sediment. A little bit of sediment is unavoidable and is not harmful to drink.
I don't have a problem paying someone else to bottle it for you. Just make sure of the quality of the base and the care in the overall process...

Over the last 4 years I have also done a colon cleanse once or twice a year, and I take an ounce of organic sulfur (MSM) supplement several times a week. I do not eat any processed foods (anything that comes in a box), cook everything from scratch, and go to a restaurant or fast food place possibly once a month. I only drink the Essiac tea from time to time when I remember to brew it. This is not very often, possibly a total of 30 days a year. At the time that the skin tags disappeared, I was not taking any other supplements. I attribute the disappearance of the skin tags to the Essiac tea. I do not know if the colon cleanses, organic sulfur, and my new eating habits contribute to the skin tags not returning. The organic sulfur is believed to detox your system and to have anti-viral qualities.

You will need a big stainless steel pot. Never use aluminum. Another big pot, can be glass or pyrex or stainless to pour the liquid while straining. A stainless steel strainer.
32ounce amber glass bottles to store your finished product in.
You will need 3 for a half batch and 6 for a full batch.
The tea is light sensitive so if you can't find amber bottles you need to cover your bottles with aluminum foil.
1. To make the 2 gallon recipe- Mix the 4 herbs together. (appr. 1 cup) (you may cut the recipe in half if you wish, but it is recommended you halve each package of the herbs first, then mix them together. The reason for this is that the powdered herbs, such as the Turkey Rhubarb fall to the bottom and your recipe will not be evenly divided if you don't split them first.)
2. Full recipe- bring 2 gallons of distilled or spring water to a boil. If using half the recipe bring 1 gallon to boil. Stir in herbs replace the lid and boil for 10 minutes.
3. Turn off the stove, scrape down sides, mix well and allow pot to sit and remain closed for 12 hours. (this is the steaping and extraction process)
4.Reheat to almost boiling, anout 10 minutes. Let cool just a little and begin the straining process. Strain as many times as you like. A little herb left in the liquid will not hurt it in any way. Reheat the liquid once again for 2 to 3 minutes only. This will kill any bacteria in the tea that may have entered from the straining process and help keep it from spoiling.
5. Using funnel or glass measuring cup, put your hot liquid into preheated bottles. You can heat the bottles in the oven at 200 degrees-5 or 10 minutes. Do not put caps in the oven!
6. Cap and let cool and then put in the refrigerator. This will be good for 2 weeks. Label the day you made it and the day it expires. If you have some left over in 2 weeks, bring it back to a boil to re-sterilize it and you can use it for 2 more weeks. Then it must be discarded
Directions for use: Mix 2 ounces of the tea with 2 ounces of hot water. Distilled or spring. Never heat this formula or the water in a microwave! Take on an empty stomch for better absorbability. Wait 10 to 20 minutes before eating. This herbal tea is non toxic in proper doses. These herbs will stimulate the body to throw off toxins and therefore it is important that you drink plenty of clean spring water and have regular bowel movements.
Recommended supplementation 3 to 4 times daily for cancer and other serious ailments, twice a day for chronic and once a day for maintenance and gentle detoxification.

I started giving this tea to my children also and my teenage son had problems with sinus polyps from severe allergies I guess. One day after about a month of drinking the tea only twice a day, he sneezed out...I know this will gross some of you out...but he sneezed out 3 polyps. One was the size of a dime..yuck! This tea has been a Godsend for my family.

Essiac Tea also cured several friends of mine from Cancer, and put them in remission. I tryed it on my 13 year old female collie (Lassie) as she has vistibular syndrome, and a brain tumor is suspected. Her hair was thining and lightened up to a apricot, despite the vitamines and KD diet she was on. So I put her on Essiac Tea, and some of the centeral vistibular symptoms vanished, her blind eye streightened right around and now she can see out of it, her thinning hair grew back in sable red, and became very thick, the way it was when she was young. She no longer appears to be dying, but it appears as if she has turned around she she has beat this "death gene!" Essiac has been known to cure a few other ailements such as ackne, skin problems, and diabetis.
As far as exact measurements, you can google Essiac Tea to get them. The measurements acording to the weight of the person or animal are in the box, and on line.

In the beginning of '02 he was diagnosed as having bone cancer, so the cancer had progressed significantly. He was given a year to live. At that point, or somewhat thereafter, he began the Essiac Tea. Throughout that year he had very little pain. We were all so thankful and amazed that his pain levels were so manageable, as bone cancer is supposed to be awfully pain-filled - according to his doctors.
Sadly in the middle of that year he left off making and drinking the tea due to his father coming down sick and needing a caretaker. Within 4 months he was diagnosed with brain cancer. (I had never heard that if you leave off taking the Essiac your cancer will progress with a vengence, but that seems to be the case with my Dad too!) He passed in January of '03.
I must say that I believe in the power of Essiac tea. I think it caused my Dad to have a much more pain free and liveable life during his last year. I mean he was super active until about 2 months before the end.
Please read "Calling of an Angel" by Gary Glum. It's an interesting book that describes the origin of Essiac tea. There are lots of people out there who want to capitalize on Essiac, but they are not doing/selling it the way Rene (the discoverer) would have done it. Never use a tincture. You must use the dried herbs and follow Rene's recipe! Also I believe that this website - http://www.larrywinfield.com/recipe1.htm - is quite informative regarding the actual original prescribed doseage.
May God bless you in your search for healing!
