Attack Cancer With Essiac
These herbs work synergistically to fight cancer cells: Burdock Root, Sheep Sorrel, Slippery Elm, Turkey Rhubarb Root, and Echinacea.
Burdock is used as a diuretic, diaphoretic, a blood purifying agent, and contains essential fatty acids.
Sheep Sorrel is used for reducing sudden and ongoing pain and swelling (inflammation). For treating bacterial infections, and for increasing urine flow (as a diuretic).
Slippery Elm is soothing to the digestive tract and help maintain normal elimination. This bark contains mucilage, which becomes slippery and soothing to irritated tissues when wet.
Turkey Rhubarb Root is used to treat stubborn infections. It has purgative effects, as well as its ability to suppress feverish conditions. It is a means to cure stomach ailments and as a “cathartic” (an agent used to relieve severe constipation). It has astringent capabilities (as well as a strong laxative); serves antibacterial use in its ability to treat” toothaches, shingles, fevers, hypertension, burns, acute appendicitis, acute infectious hepatitis, conjunctivitis, swelling and pain of gums, and sores of the mouth and tongue.

Enzymes / Nutritionals
What Are Enzymes?
- Enzymes are proteins – Like other proteins, enzymes consist of long chains of amino acids held together by peptide bonds. they are present in all living cells, where they perform a vital function by controlling the metabolic processes whereby nutrients are converted into energy and fresh cell material. Furthermore, enzymes take part in the breakdown of food materials into simpler compounds. Some of the best know enzymes are those found in the digestive tract where pepsin, trypsin and peptides break down proteins into amino acids, lipase split fats into glycerol and fatty acids, and amylase break down starch into simple sugars.
