My wife took essiac tea last year along with a strict diet stopping all sweet, sugars, bread, pasta and red meat. It did not stop her cancer from returning. She has tried the 4 and the 8 herb tea's.
We buy it from a local man who makes his own fresh tea but it did not work for my wife and we have not seen any of his successes.
Reading Bill Hendersons book from the site getandstaywell.com along with other sites, you should not be eating any sugars,sweets, red meat, fried food, rehydrated or proceessed foods. I have learned recently that essiac tea is acidic, and the body needs to be alcolized, but please do not let me put you off, there is probably someone out there that has had success with the tea.
We would certainly be grateful for any information from anyone who has had success.
