Has anyone tried the 8 herb version of Essiac Tea?

Question

The basic Essiac herb combination is 4 herbs. But I've seen a couple of websites that sell it with 4 additional herbs. Has anyone tried either? I'm trying to find out which one would be easier to take (taste better)?

Hi, thanks for your answer to my question about Essiac. Do you mind me asking how many ounces a day you took? So you said that the 8-herb formula worked better for you, the FlorEssence brand. Which 4-herb brand did you try? I'm trying to figure out which brand to purchase myself, but since the 8-herb formula was never given to the public I'm concerned about purchasing from those bulk essiac websites that sell an 8-herb formula, because who knows what amounts they use. Even getting the 4-herb essiac online I still don't know for sure that they are using the right formula. What should I do?

Answer 1

Considering you only take 2 ounces twice a day does it really matter? That is not much to drink.

Answer 2

I tried Essiac tea years ago and I am a strong believer in the roots and herbs used in it. It is a formula used by the Ejibway Indians a long time ago and introduced to a Canadian nurse named Marie Caisse who used the remedy to cure many suffering cancer patients back in the late 30's I believe. Her last name spelled backwards is essiac, thus the name. I believe the most effective way is to get it in it's natural form and brew it the correct way and let it seep overnight before drinking it. It does not taste good, but it is very effective in boosting immune system function to fight the cancer. Go to a herb shop and they should have it along with a book on her story which is truly amazing,

Answer 3

Yes, I tried both the original Essiac Tea which was difficult to drink with minimal results and the Flor Essence which I and found it to be quite effective. I especially used it during chemotherapy and radiation therapy to cleanse out the toxins and help my body to fight against the cancer. Obviously everyone is different and we all respond differently but I would highly recommend it. If you're speaking of the one I was usiing; the Flor Essense, I woud encourage you to continue. I was drinking it in the morning and the evening on an empty stomach, during most of my treastments. When I was feeling exceptionally toxic I took another dose miday on an empty stomach.

I also found that the chemo was so toxic that is literally oozed thorugh my pores. I was taking 2 to 3 showers a day just to help the toxins to release from my body.

I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Breast Cancer; that had spread in to the lymph nodes on my right side, as well as the right side of my neck and my lungs. I also had three different forms of aggressive breast cancer; which is quite rare. Obvioulsy my immune system took a vacation and I suffered greatly. I had to have 5 rounds of the harshist chemotherapy, 35 days of radiation therapy on all 4 quadrants involving both breasts, my neck and upper back, a radical mastectomy on my right side and a lumpectomy on my left. No cancer is showing up at this point in time.

Below are some links I used to help fight my cancer. All the last tests show that I am clean. Of course I have to keep up my nutritional fight to stay that way.

Please check out and investigate the links below. Good luck...
