Traditional Therapeutic Action We take you back to the roots of these most effective herbs and it is not surprising that we see the origins traced back to the Native Indians in Canada. The first part of the story about Essiac began in 1922. Nurse Rene Caisse, one of 11 children of a Roman Catholic family, was working in a hospital in Haileybury Ontario when she noticed a patient with a gnarled and scarred breast. The patient told her a growth had appeared on her breast while she and her husband were camping in a northern mining community. An Indian friend offered to heal it but being conventional and sceptical, the couple journeyed to Toronto instead, and there, doctors confirmed the diagnosis of cancer. The breast would have to be surgically removed. Because a friend had recently died after a mastectomy and since they had no money for hospitals in those pre-medicare days, they returned to the camp and embarked on the Indian’s brew. The Indian showed her how to gather herbs, to make the tea, and treat herself. The breast began to improve and 20 years later when Rene Caisse encountered this woman she found her alive, the breast was scarred, but it was not cancerous. It wasn’t until 1924 when a favorite aunt was pronounced in the terminal stages of cancer, that Rene gave serious thought to the Indian herbal treatment. So Rene sought permission from her aunt’s doctor, Dr. R.O. Fisher to try the Indian brew, he had nothing better to offer, so he gave his blessing. After 2 months of her drinking the brew daily, her aunt rallied, strengthened and lived another 20 years. Since then Essiac has been used successfully for many years as a complement to cancer treatments. In Mexico where Mildred Nelson, RN also a registered nurse was associated with the Hoxsey therapy from 1946 until the time of her death in January of 1999. She worked with Harry Hoxsey in her native state of Texas for almost two decades. In her lifetime of service, she helped thousands of people. The Hoxsey therapy is the oldest unconventional or alternative nontoxic cancer therapy in continuous use in North America. Its origins date back to 1840, when John Hoxsey reportedly noticed that one of his horses had a cancerous leg that was apparently healed after it chose and ate herbs and plants not normal to its diet. Decades of experimentation by the Hoxsey family, on animals and then on humans, led to the development of several herbal-based medicines for cancer, primarily a liquid herbal “tonic” and a topical salve. Since its inception in 1840, the Hoxsey therapy and its proprietary herbal medicine formulas have been in the hands of generations of the Hoxsey family. The herbs that we have selected have a very long history in treating cancer patients with great success. The Hoxsey Therapy was criticized by the powers-that-be as a leading example of medical quackery. More recently, as attitudes about natural healing have changed, the U.S. Federal Government has shown an interest in the therapy and federal funds have been used to conduct a retrospective study of the results of the Hoxsey Therapy on patients at the Bio-Medical Center. Despite unrelenting opposition from all angles the treatment continues to thrive. As cancer has become one of the greatest killers of all time we cannot afford to turn our backs on nature, as it assists the body on its road to recovery. Good For You has now combined all these traditional herbs together to bring you our most potent blend: “Hoxsiac”. SUGGESTED DOSAGE: Take as directed.
