Re: Pau d'arco tea & Essiac - severe side effects two weeks after starting Essiac - Someone Please respond

Have you seen your doctor? What has he/she said about your symptoms? I know some of us in the alternative health community are afraid of seeing doctors for fear of criticism BUT please do go. If you have cancer in a first degree relative then you definately should go. I've started taking Essiac to prevent cancer and I've not had any side effects but then again I don't have bowel issues. Read extensively on the herbs and their effects on the bowels. Do whatever works for you. Tweet
