Essiac - part 2
The herbs used in the original essiac formula included:
Sheep sorrel - cancer remedy
Burdock root - blood purifier
Slippery Elm bark - nature's cleanser
Rhubarb root - detoxifier
later on Watercress, Blessed Thistle, Red Clover and Kelp were added in.
Flora, Inc. (the main producer of this formula)uses the second formula; but most herbalists use the original 4, in dried tea form because it makes so much more and is about a third of the cost of the liquid bottle (which is already expensive). It is sold under the label of Flora Health.

To mix the dried leaves the following will make the best potency:
Supplies: 4 gallon container preferably not metal, glass if you can find one; stainless if
you can find no other.
3 gallon pot with lid
12 or more 16 oz bottles, preferably sterilized amber glass
Method:
1. Mix dry ingredients thoroughly, place in glass container and shake vigorously.
Store is dark, cool place until use.
2. Bring 2 gallons of sodium free distilled water to a rolling boil in the 4 gallon pot covered.
3. Stir in 1 cup of herbs. Replace lid and boil for 10 minutes.
4. Turn off stove. Scrape down sides of pot and stir mixture thoroughly. Replace lid.
5. Allow pot to remain closed for 12 hours. Then turn stove to near the highest setting
and bring herbs ALMOST to a boil. Do not let boil twice.
6. Turn off stove. Strain the liquid into the 3 gallon pot. Clean the 4 gallon pot and the
strainer. Then strain the filtered liquid back into the 4 gallon pot. This is to ensure
double straining only.
7. Use a funnel to pour the hot tea into the sterilized bottles immediately. Tighten cap
to almost tight and after they cool, retighten to where you want them.
8. Refrigerate. Since there are no preservatives, if mold develops discard immediately.
This will keep up to 7 days or so. After that I would rebatch.
Instructions:
Keep refrigerated.
Shake bottle well before using
May be taken cold or warmed NOT in microwave
Dosage:
2 ounces a day, either at bedtime on an empty stomach, or in am l hour before meals, or
2 hours after breakfast. Since the body assimilates in the evening hours, bedtime is
preferable. One or two drops in your pet's water (3 cup bowls); less for smaller pets and one drop for ferrets).

To make a paste for use on skin cancers AFTER they have been removed and the site has closed over. Take a teaspoon of the dried herb and add some drops from the premade tea and form a paste. Use over site and close over with a large square porous bandage (gauze). Replace daily for one week and do this monthly. If you are choosing to do this it should always be supervised by a naturopath (see link below to find one). For sores on pets make paste only one third strength and apply daily.
Please note the only deaths that have occurred were when this tea was *injected* into the patients. One had a blood clot on the brain and elected to take it anyway and died, and I think there was another one recently from an injection, but do not know the history of the case.

-------------------------- CAUTIONS -------------------------------
This is a powerful cleanser. If you are on routine pharmaceuticals it can very easily remove them from your body within 48 hours. Be sure you use this formula ONLY if you are under the care of a natural practitioner or one is in touch with your physician.
DO NOT USE WITH CHILDREN UNDER 18, without extreme supervision.
Do not use until 6 months after chemotherapy has been completed, nor take any cleansing agent until 6 months have passed.
Do not use with any other cleansing routine.
This cleanser can cause diarrhea and if it does so reduce dose immediately. Many people tell me they begin by taking the treatment twice a week, one cup a day...then go up to three times a week...and then more if the body seems sluggish in it's recovery.

If you are taking it as a preventative you need professional guidance and should seek out a naturopath (see link below).
