Re: 4 herbs Essiac Tea advice

While I agree that Mountain Rose is not only the most reliable Essiac source for quality, it is also organic and one of the cheapest.  I've used them for Essiac for a number of years.

That said, it never ever did anything to reverse or even slow the growth of my lung cancers (one each in both lungs) and I used it for over a year before resorting to successful surgery.  (My current resting oxygen level is in the 95 - 97% range, no COPD at all.)

All that said, in my last Essiac use I got atrial flutter which by itself, required heart surgery.  I was taking Essiac tea along with Pau d'arco and am CONVINCED that one of them caused the flutter and at the time of my surgery haven't/will not use either one.  My flutter surgery was a complete success with not even a hint of flutter since that time.  My point is that - when seeking out herbs for cancer be very careful with their effects on your body as most all of them have serious side effects including death.  Oleander is an excellent example.  Oleander soup and Anvirzel (a pharmaceutical cancer treatment made from oleander and outlawed in the United States) have the side effects of heart failure and have been known to kill people.  So, proceed carefully.
