Then , as she continued her Essiac
Injections , the tumour  softened , got smaller . and disappeared. Oddly enough , the women’s diabetes also disappeared during the course of  T4Cancer.

Swimming in our bodies is a sea of antigens. These antigens include dangerous environmental invaders such as viruses, antibiotic resistant bacteria, abnormal cells, parasites, chemical pollutants and other synthetic poisons threatening our bodies. We are able to survive periodic assaults on our health and life from these antigens because of our immune system. The key to maintaining optimal health begins with a better understanding of the human body's biological processes.

The human immune system is a synergistic interaction between cells, molecules and fluids in the body. When the body is in good health, all biological systems are working effectively together. When the body is threatened, the immune system is activated to help restore health. There are two systems that the body utilizes to identify foreign invaders. The first system is the non-specific defence system and the second is the specific defence system.

The non-specific defence system relies on the body's natural ability to recognize and destroy foreign invaders. Its first line of defence consists of skin and mucous membranes. They serve as physical barriers by preventing foreign matter from invading the body. When pathogens enter the body through broken tissues a chemical is released which "turns on" the inflammatory response. To combat the threatening invader the body increases the production of white blood cells that can result in a temperature increase. This explains why fever often accompanies an infection.

If a pathogen passes through the body's non-specific defence, the immune system responds with a series of specific defences that attack the foreign invader. These defences are known as the immune response consisting of antibodies and special immune cells. T-Cells and B- Cells are critical to the immune system,. T-Cells (T-Lymphocytes) mature in the Thymus Gland and the B-Cells (B-Lymphocytes) mature in the bone marrow. The T-cells provide the first response to a threatening foreign invader. One type of T cell is the T4 helper cell. These induce the B cells to "turn on" and respond to the presence of a threatening foreign invader. The B-cells respond by producing antibodies and by stimulating one type of T cell, which is the natural killer cell (NK). It destroys the invading cells by means of direct contact or by producing a cytotoxin or cell poison. As a control the T8-suppressor cells "switch off" the immune response once the invaders are destroyed and the infection is cleared up. If the pathogen reappears the body has the ability to immediately produce antibodies to deal with the foreign invader.

The Specific defence system circulates in part in the blood and Lymphatic system. The Lymphatic system consists mainly of lymph, lymphatic vessels and structures or organs containing lymphatic tissues. Lymph is a thick colourless fluid. Some of its functions are to carry fat and nutrients and to distribute germ fighting white blood cells. Lymphatic vessels transport the lymph to the different parts of the body. Along the larger lymphatic vessels there are small kidney shaped structures that are the lymph nodes. Lymph nodes filter the blood in order to help prevent bacteria and other pathogens from travelling through the lymphatic system. The lymph nodes are areas of high immunological activity along with the bone marrow, thymus, spleen, liver, tonsils, adenoids, appendix, and peyer's patches in the intestines.

The human immune system has the ability to recognize and protect against a huge variety of bacteria, viruses and other pathogens that challenge the body daily. All parts of the immune system work together to help protect the human body . There is a growing concern, however, that our bodies are being "overloaded" with progressively dangerous chemicals and pollutants in the environment that we can not rid ourselves of naturally.

FAQ'S

Will Essiac cure cancer or other diseases?
Essiac is not a drug and therefore not able to be FDA approved as a proven treatment. We cannot legally claim that Essiac is a cancer cure or a cure for any other disease. However, due to the beneficial properties of Essiac tea listed above, many people who take Essiac report a stronger immune system and increased health and well-being. With all of these positive improvements essiac tea causes in the body, the body becomes much better equipped to rid itself of disease.

Can I take Essiac along with radiation or chemotherapy?
Yes, in fact Essiac tends to improve the quality of life for a person on chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. However, because chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy can destroy the chemicals and compounds that allow Essiac tea to do its job, we recommend that you take the aggressive PLUS dose of 6 oz. of tea three times per day, rather than the regular aggressive dose of 3 oz. of tea three times per day. From our experience and experimentation, we've found that people on chemotherapy and radiation therapy tend to have best results taking 6 oz. three times per day. However, some have remained on 3 oz. three times per day and also had good results. Personally, if we had a loved one taking chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy, we would recommend 6 oz. three times per day to be on the safe side.

Can I take Essiac with other alternative or traditional treatments?
Yes, and in many cases the treatments will complement each other, compounding the positive health effects. To our knowledge Essiac tea is fine to take along with all treatments, both traditional and alternative. You are advised to consult with your practitioner. If you are concerned, ease into your Essiac tea usage gradually, taking 1/2 or 1/3 of the full dose at first.

When can I expect to notice a benefit from taking Essiac?
This is highly individualized. Some people notice an increased sense of health, well-being and energy just days after starting Essiac tea. Others find that it takes weeks or even months to notice a tangible benefit. Most people start noticing an improvement in their general health and well-being after couple of weeks taking Essiac tea regularly. Follow our Essiac dosage recommendations for at least 5 months if you have cancerous tumours.

How long should I continue taking Essiac tea?
That is ultimately your decision. However, we recommend that you take the aggressive treatment dose, or 3 oz. three times per day, until your test results return to normal and your health is completely restored. After that point, we recommend that you continue to take the maintenance dose of 3 oz. once per day. If your health problems should ever return, we recommend immediately increasing your dosage to the aggressive treatment dose until your test results return to normal. It is fine to continue on aggressive dose for life according to our experience.

If I am healthy, can Essiac tea hurt me? Can I take the aggressive treatment dose even if I am generally healthy?
Essiac tea will not hurt you.* On the contrary, it can act as a preventive aid against developing health problems in the future. We know many people who take the aggressive treatment dose of 3 oz. three times per day for general health and daily detoxification. While it may not be necessary to take this much as a healthy person, it can't hurt you. Personally, we are all healthy (thank goodness) and we take the aggressive treatment dose to maintain our good health. Some people find that 3 oz. once per day is enough to maintain good health.

*Women who are pregnant are generally advised not to take Essiac tea during pregnancy. If you are taking prescription medications, consult with your practitioner before taking any herbal supplement.

What is Essiac tea typically used for?
The most common reasons for taking Essiac tea are: cancerous tumours, diabetes, leukaemia, liver problems, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, chronic pain, chronic fatigue, and hepatitis C.
