Calling of an Angel: The True Story of Rene Caisse and an Indian Herbal Medicine Called Essiac, Nature's Cure for Cancer

Every year medical science spends billions of dollars in a desperate search for the cure--or cures--for cancer. And yet, despite the use of increasingly expensive and dangerous technology and drugs, we never seem to get any closer to sparing mankind from our most dreaded and deadly disease. Is it possible that the answer to our prayers about treating cancer has been available to us all along, a gift from nature, hidden in the life-giving properties of certain plants that grow wild all over North America? The answer is yes. For more than 50 years, Rene Caisse, a nurse in Canada, successfully treated thousands of cancer patients with a simple herbal formula that was discovered and first used long ago by the Indians. Rene Caisse brewed the herbs into a tea that she called Essiac, and many of her patients and their families and friends swore that Essiac's healing--and pain-relief--powers were nothing short of miraculous. Distinguished physicians--from the 1930s until the 1980s--have spoken out in favor of Essiac's value as a cancer treatment.
