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. 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 a 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 these 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 and Welfare at the time of her death in 1978. They burned all that information in 55 - gallon drums behind her home.

No one has ever sought to cure cancer - only to 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, The Canadian Cancer Society, any of these stalled benefactors to those who have contracted this disease - all of these institutions 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 doesn't approve or make legal alternative treatments of any kind.

Dr. Brusch presented his findings after ten years of research. He had come to the conclusion that, in his own words, "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 that 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 general public.

Of course now you have the problem of herbal distributing companies throughout the world that are substituting yellow dock and curly dock for sheep's sorrel., which is one of the critical ingredients in ESSIAC.

The sheep's sorrel is the herbal ingredient that was found to be responsible for the destruction of cancer cells in the body, or their amalgamation where metastasized cancer cells actually return to the original tumor site.

That research was done by Dr. Chester Stock 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 of the Canadian Ministry of Health and Welfare. The Canadian government then immediately banned that herb for sale and distribution.

Rene would harvest the sheep's sorrel - (Rumex acetosella) - when it was four to six inches high. she cut it back and it would grow up again, and she'd cut it back again about three times and then she would let it go to seed. It will grow to 14 or 18 inches.

She would take the herb cuttings home and lay them out at room temperature to dry them. She'd 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.

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

The best that anyone can do is just 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 make this remedy and use it in the privacy of your own home and without anyone's approval.

He had been on chemotherapy for four years and radiation for three. His mother's only hope on life was to find a cure for him. She went everywhere. She tried every alternative treatment.

Her last stop was Dr. Alvazados in Athens, Greece where her son's white cell count was 186,000. He had no red blood cells and no platelets. He was hemorrhaging to death. so they transfused Toby in Greece and put him on a plane to Alaska where he was given less than 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 was given 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 what was 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. No blast cells were found in the bone marrow. There were a few stray cells in the testicles and in the brain. Cause of death was damage to the myocardialsac 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 news worthy.

Our information on ESSIAC has been sent around the world twice through Publisher's Weekly magazine in a huge two page ad. We received no responses at all from any publishing company worldwide, no producers, 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 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 "60Minutes," 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's 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 of 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 toward 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 the curly dock for sheep's sorrel. So people are getting the wrong ingredients for ESSIAC, not to mention the five of 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.

However, they work with the Canadian Ministry of Health and Welfare, which works with the American FDA and the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Maryland. The ESSIAC formula was never given to anyone by Resperin.

Rene also found that ESSIAC was a strong preventive, These findings were substantiated by Dr. Albert Schatz at Temple Univrersity who discovered the cure for Tuberculosis.

Rene also found that ESSIAC would normalize 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 since.

Rene also found that ESSIAC would heal stomach ulcers within three or four weeks. She felt that ulcers were a precursor to cancer.

Sir Frederick Banting, the co-discover of insulin, wanted to work with Rene. She had clinical cases where a person on insulin discontinued it with the ESSIAC. No one knew how ESSIAC would interact with the insulin. Apparently ESSIAC regulated the pancreas in cases of diabetes mellitus. So these people then became 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, it's amazing, I sleep like a baby, have all kinds of energy, and no sickness, not even a cold of 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 than 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.

The alternative people are also into it for the money. What you're finding with ESSIAC is that it is not even allowed into the arenas of 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.

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 its own disease.

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 2100 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.
