Essiac Tea  

Essiac is a combination of four herbs – Sheep Sorrel, Burdock Root, Slippery Elm Bark, and Rhubarb Root. These herbs have all been shown to have anti-cancer activity.  Essiac is also anti-parasitic.  The use of Essiac in cancer treatment followed the discovery in the 1920s by a Canadian nurse Rene Caisse that one of her patients had recovered from cancer after taking these herbs  which a Mojibwa Indian Medicine Man had prescribed for her.

Fish Oils – contain Omega 3 fatty acids, which are now less available in our diet.  They promote anti-inflammatory prostaglandins.

Natural Approaches to Cancer Care – Part 2  - by Stan Giles

In the first article we saw that the Oasis of Hope statistics clearly demonstrate that a combined approach of detoxification, nutritional, emotional and spiritual healing has much better results than orthodox approaches to cancer treatment. Here we suggest some ways that you can help clients with cancer.  It would require several books to detail all the different approaches.  This is by no means a comprehensive listing but includes those treatments which are not toxic in therapeutic doses, and have strong evidence to suggest that they are beneficial. Treatment is aimed at detoxifying the body, supporting the immune system and supporting the liver which has to deal with the breakdown of toxins as the cancer cells are destroyed.  As Kinesiologists we recognise that each person is unique and will have his own individual needs.  And as Kinesiologists we are blessed with the tool of muscle testing which can help to determine which particular treatments are appropriate for each individual client.
