Between 1959 and 1962, Dr. brusch worked closely with Rene Caisse and together they treated thousands of cancer patients out of Br-usch's clinic in Massachusetts. Dr. brusch spent about 10 years studying Essiac in depth and using it clinically. After these 10 years, he concluded that "Essiac is a cure for cancer, period. All studies done at laboratories in the United States and Canada support this conclusion."2 He even developed cancer himself and used Essiac to bring about his own complete recovery. According to Dr.

In that first radio show, Dr. brusch told the public in no uncertain terms that Essiac was, indeed, a cure for cancer. The response from the public was unlike anything Alexander had ever seen in her 20 years in radio. All the phone lines into the station were jammed for hours with people calling in. Before the first show was over, several people had even driven to the radio station and were waiting outside in the hopes that they could get their questions answered! Elaine did more on air interviews with brusch and had terminal cancer patients who had been cured by Essiac as guests as well.

Charles brusch and Elaine Alexander, however, assert that brusch was given the true original formula from Rene Caisse and that it contained the four herbs Resperin uses, but also contains four additional herbs: blessed thistle, red clover, watercress, and kelp. These herbs are added to their bottled version of Essiac called Flor-Essence. It seems impossible at this time to know who has the original formula Rene Caisse used on so many thousands of patients. There are so more sources of Essiac on the market today, that it seems impossible to know which one is the most effective.

Years later, however, in the midst of a commercial promotion, brusch claimed that Essiac was in fact a "cure for cancer." In the 1960s, Caisse continued to supply brusch with Essiac and also to secretly treat some patients out of her home in Bracebridge. In 1973, at the age of 85, she made one last stab at scientific validation. She wrote to Sloan-Kettering Institute, reminding them of the encouraging results they had previously achieved with this product. She heard back from Dr. C. Chester Stock, the vice president and associate director for administrative and academic affairs.

This version of Essiac was backed by Dr. brusch and was based on his clinical work with Caisse and her herbal remedy. It came to be called "Flor-Essence." The development of Flor-Essence started out with a radio talk show host and producer in Canada named Elaine Alexander. Alexander had become interested in Essiac and had already interviewed many people who testified to her that they had recovered from their cancer using Essiac alone. In 1984, she phoned Dr.

Finally, in 1988, Alexander proposed to Dr. brusch that the two of them become partners and produce their own Essiac product. They both agreed at this point that it would be best to circumvent the medical establishment, which up to this point was not responding to Essiac in any helpful way. They decided to drop the Essiac name because it was too closely associated with "a cure for cancer," and thus too controversial, and they decided to simply sell it as an herbal detoxifying tea.

Charles brusch, cofounder of the prestigious brusch Medical Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and former personal physician to President Kennedy, declared: "I endorse this therapy today for I have in fact cured my own cancer, the original site of which was the lower bowels, through Essiac alone."49 Today, Essiac is not approved for the treatment of cancer in either the United States or Canada, even though it has never been disproven through scientific clinical trials. The pattern of disinterest (if not downright hostility) to Essiac by the cancer establishment has been longstanding.

After 10 years of studying Essiac, Dr. brusch concluded that Essiac was "a cure for cancer, period." ?Dr. Gerson was a highly esteemed physician in his home country of Germany, whom the famous humanitarian doctor, Albert Schweitzer, called "one of the most eminent medical geniuses in the history of medicine." Known in New York as someone who could cure "incurables", Dr. Gerson's clinic showed astounding results, which he even presented to a sub-committee in Congress known as "the Pepper Commission."

In 1959, she was invited to the brusch Medical Center in Massachusetts, where she spent three months working under the supervision of a panel of 18 doctors. In the end, the physicians stated: "Clinically, on patients suffering from pathologically proven cancer, it [Essiac] reduces pain and causes a recession in [tumor] growth. Patients have gained weight and shown an improvement in their general health. . . . Remarkably beneficial results were obtained even on those cases at the 'end of the road' where it proved to prolong life and the quality of that life."'5 Can Essiac cure cancer?

Perhaps the closest thing we have to a final word on Essiac can be found in a letter dated August 3, 1991, from Charles brusch, M.D. This eminent physician, who had worked closely with Rene Caisse while one of his personal patients was the President of the United States, declared: "I have been taking Essiac myself since 1984 when I had several cancer operations, and I have every faith in it. Of course, each person's case is different as well as each person's own individual health history. . . . Someone may respond in a week; someone else may take longer.

Charles brusch, testified that he had cured himself of colon cancer using only the Essiac formula. In 1939, the Ontario parliament came within three votes of legalizing the formula for use by doctors. Over 55,000 people signed a petition supporting the bill. Despite her popularity, Caisse practiced under constant harassment by the Canadian authorities. In part, this was due to her unwillingness to divulge the ingredients of the formula. Although the exact composition of the formula was only known by Caisse, the principle herbs are believed to be Arctium lappa (burdock root), Rheum sp.

Charles brusch, MD—President Kennedy's physician—is said to have declared in 1959 that "Essiac has merit in the treatment of cancer." Essiac cannot be freely marketed in either the US or Canada. However, a company in Ontario is allowed to provide Essiac to Canadian patients under a special arrangement with health officials there. One problem is that Caisse never made the formula public in her lifetime. A number of companies now sell competing "original" Essiac in the form of a tea, but the authenticity of some of these formulas are open to question.

In November, 1984, Dr. brusch was interviewed by a radio talk show host and producer in Vancouver, British Columbia—Elaine Alexander. Ms. Alexander had had some prior interest in holistic health. Over the next two years she produced seven two-hour shows on Essiac. She interviewed people who claimed to have been cured of cancer on the tea. With Rene Caisse's death, a vacuum had been created. "The public began to treat Elaine as if she were Rene herself," wrote Thomas. (I saw this phenomenon several times at Canadian health expos.

Elaine Alexander conceived the idea of selling a form of Essiac as a harmless "detoxifying" tea in health food stores, with no cancer claims whatsoever. brusch agreed. Their thinking is ably summarized by Richard Thomas: "Drugs are designed to block or change some function of the body. Essiac is, in fact, a natural substance that was always meant to simply purify and detoxify the body, not block or change its function in some unnatural way. Drugs are, by their very nature, toxic. Essiac is, by its very nature, nontoxic. And therein lies its real power. Essiac is the ultimate body purifier.

Dr. brusch also became disillusioned with Resperin. He belatedly hired private investigators who told him that Resperin was a shadowy corporation with few assets other than David Fingard's charm. One of Resperin's two employees was in fact brewing Essiac in his kitchen. To make the story more bizarre, that employee was Dr. Matthew Dymond, who had been the Minister of Health responsible for the surveillance of Rene Caisse! In April, 1981, an internal memo of the Health Protection Branch spelled out its extreme disappointment with Resperin's testing program.

She also failed to tell Homemaker's about her arrangement with Dr. brusch.) The editors concluded: "There's a tragic and shameful irony in the Essiac tale. In the beginning, a simple herbal recipe was freely shared by an Indian....In the hands of more sophisticated...healers, it was made the focus of an ugly struggle for ownership and power." It was an eloquent indictment of both sides in this struggle, both of whom frequently lost sight of the best interests of the patients. Nonetheless, the magazine's story produced a sensation which, in a sense, has not died down yet.

In an article in the Journal of the National Medical Association, Charles A. brusch, M.D. and Edward T. Johnson, M.D. obtained rapid and astonishing results in relieving arthritis and rheumatism, with a partial fasting or cleansing diet. The main points of this plan are the taking of cod liver oil on an empty stomach and the restriction of all water intake to a single portion taken one hour before breakfast. As reported by Carlson Wade,1 these doctors tested 98 patients, and found 92 showed major improvement in their arthritic symptoms and wonderful changes in their blood cleanliness.

What she sent, however, was not Essiac, but one ingredient, sheep sorrel.
