Bruce Hendrick, the chief of neurosurgery at the Universityof Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children, wrote to the Canadian Minister of Healthand Welfare saying that Dr. Hendrick supported a scientific clinical trial of thecancer treatment compound known as "Essiac."Dr. Hendrick stated that after they started on Essiac, eight of ten patients withsurgically treated tumors of the central nervous system had "escaped from theconventional methods of therapy including both radiation and chemotherapy.

3 "Dr. Hendrick wrote that he was "most impressed with the effectiveness of thetreatment and its lack of side effects." He closed with this: "I feel that this method oftreatment should be given serious consideration and would benefit from a scientificclinical trial."With that letter Dr. Hendrick joined a long list of physicians dating back more than60 years who have spoken in favor of Essiac as a cancer Essiac today remains unavailable almost impossible to get for nearly allcancer could something like this happen? CALLING OF AN ANGEL by DR. GARY L. of 10502/11/2005 15:21 INTRODUCTIONThis is the story of a woman named Rene Caisse. For more than 50 years, until herdeath in 1978 at the age of 90, she treated thousands of cancer patients, most of themwritten off by doctors as terminally ill, with her own secret herbal formula.

4 Shecalled it Essiac Caisse spelled backwards and she brewed the tea herself, alone inher patients swore by her. They were devoted. Men and women who believed shecured them of cancer told their friends and families, wrote letters to doctors andpoliticians, swore affidavits, testified before the Canadian parliament and pleadedwith Rene Caisse to supply them with more Essiac when they needed it. Somehusbands and wives of patients who died wrote Rene letters thanking her profoundlyfor making life easier free of pain and longer for their loved ones. Her funeral inthe village of Bracebridge, about 170 kilometers north of Toronto, was attended byhundreds of people, including former patients Rene had treated for terminal canceras far back as the 1930s and who were still on their feet to bury her and tell 'm convinced that Essiac works.

5 It has potent healing and preventive power. It isa gift from nature. I've seen a small part of the evidence with my own eyes, and I'veexperienced Essiac's power as a healthful tonic in my own life. I suffered fromchronic bronchitis until a few years ago when I first heard of Essiac and tried itmyself. Within days my cough disappeared and it hasn't returned. I still drink theEssiac. It tastes like what it is, an herbal tea. About as plain and mild as any of theother herbal teas from around the world you can buy in any supermarket. I've neverfelt better. All through Canada and in parts of the United States to day there arepeople of all ages who are absolutely convinced that Essiac saved their lives or thelives of friends and loved ones.

6 But you can't buy it in any have been made since about 1925, in fact that Essiac is an effectivetreatment for cancer. So the governments of North America have classified it as a"drug." The Canadian government almost legalized its use by Rene in 1939, and hasgone through fits and starts ever since in deciding how to handle the situation. Thepolicy has ranged from threatening to arrest Rene if she didn't close her clinic topromising her publicly on the record, in the press that she wouldn't be arrested ifshe would agree to keep her clinic open, thus quieting the public clamor that aroseafter the government threatened to shut her the last decade, the Canadian government has classified Essiac as an"experimental drug," and then an "experimental drug" that had failed to showpromise, and today as Dr.

7 Hendrick's letter shows the internal battles are stillgoing on in Canada over the future of the , a 1978 class action suit in federal court in Detroit seeking to authorizethe importation of Essiac for cancer treatment was defeated by the than that, the government hasn't faced much pressure about Essiac. Thereare probably high level officials in the Food and Drug Administration and theCALLING OF AN ANGEL by DR. GARY L. of 10502/11/2005 15:21 National Cancer Institute who make life and death decisions about cancer drugswho could honestly say they've never heard of Essiac. I hope they'll take the time toread this don't claim that Essiac is a miraculous panacea, capable of curing all cancers in allpeople, nor do I believe that.

8 Rene Caisse didn't even believe that. She didn't claimEssiac as a "cure for cancer." Her former patients were the ones who put forwardthat claim, strenuously and over many decades. What Rene maintained was thatEssiac caused regression in some cancerous tumors, the total destruction of others,prolonged life in most cases and in virtually every case significantly diminishedthe pain and suffering of cancer the testimonials of Rene's former patients, including those sworn under oath, haveany credibility at all and when I present them, I think you'll agree they do thenEssiac's powers as a pain reliever in cancer patients are nothing short ofphenomenal.

9 In sixty years of personal accounts, the easing of agony and anincreased sense of well-being often to the point of getting through the day withoutnarcotics is one of the predominant themes. You hear it over and over again, andalways told with a deep sense of fought almost her whole adult life against overwhelming odds and underincredible pressures, some of them self imposed, to establish those simple facts asaccepted wisdom. She never gave up her fight. But for one woman many years agoto persuade the medical and legal institutions of North America that a naturaltreatment for cancer based on herbs that grow wild might make more sense thanthe accepted means of surgery, radiation and might as well havebeen telling them in an earlier century that the earth is : Rene was fighting cancer with a natural treatment in an era when theconventional wisdom of the medical establishment denied even that diet might be afactor in causing cancer.

10 It's hard to believe, knowing what we know now andwhat has become the conventional wisdom but for generations those doctors whopreached dietary causes of cancer were dismissed by most physicians as quacks. Sowhat was the medical establishment to make of this woman who wasn't even alicensed doctor who preached that a cancer treatment was to be found in plants thatgrow wild?My goal in this book is simple: I want to tell the story of this ordinary woman'sextraordinary Life and share the knowledge of Essiac so that people can make theirown informed decisions about what it's future should be. I don't pretend to have allthe answers about how and why Essiac works, or the final scientific proof that itdoes.
