A scientific study found Essiac Tea effective in inhibiting cancer cell proliferation. Essiac Tea was first formulated to help fight cancer, and this study backs this claim up with convincing scientific evidence. The following is from the Pub Med abstract.
“Objective: To assess the ability of Essiac tea extracts to modulate cancer cell proliferation and immune responsiveness.
Design: A noncancerous transformed cell line was compared to a cancerous cell line and spleen cells that had been isolated from mice to examine proliferation responses mediated by the addition of an Essiac preparation.
Results: We found in vitro evidence of decreased proliferation of both noncancerous transformed (CHO) and cancerous prostate cell line (LNCaP) when Essiac was present in the culture media. A dose response for inhibition was demonstrated by a linear regression performed on the data for both the CHO and LNCaP cells. The percent inhibition of the LNCaP cells was higher than the percent inhibition of the CHO cells suggesting that Essiac may have a more selective effect on cancer cells than transformed cells. In addition, the effects of Essiac were examined in an immune T-lymphocyte proliferation assay. At low doses of Essiac, augmentation of proliferation of these T cells was demonstrated, but at higher doses Essiac was inhibitory to T-cell proliferation. The same doses of Essiac that stimulated spleen cells were inhibitory for LNCaP cell proliferation.
Conclusions: Essiac preparations may be able to inhibit tumor cell growth while enhancing immune response to antigenic stimulation. This may be especially valuable in immune-suppressed individuals.”

My 89 year old Mother was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer, metastasized to the liver, in April 2024. She chose no medical treatment. Her Dr told her without it she would not live for Christmas 2024. She started drinking 2 oz of ESSIAC TEA twice a day in May 2024. She had a beautiful Christmas cooking all the traditional dishes and baking tons of cookies.and spending time with all her family who all came to visit.
Although now, more days she is tired and weak, but with short naps bounces back. She faithfully brews her tea every 2 weeks. She has not had any test done since April, but we feel the tumor has shrunk because when pushes on the site of it she does does feel any pain as when first diagnosed. She calls this her “magic tea”
you for amazing ESSIAC TEA.
Thank you Carol for this testimonial. We are so very happy to hear when one of our customers has such great results with our tea! Would it be okay to put this comment on our testimonials page?
Sincerely,
Natural Heritage
