         Rene Caisse was a nurse living in Canada who for a period of 
         almost sixty years, treated hundreds of people with an herbal
         remedy she called Essiac.

         Essiac is Rene's last name spelled backwards.

         Rene discovered this remedy through a patient in the hospital 
         where she worked.  This patient, now in the hospital for another
         ailment had previously been cured of cancer with this formula.

         The formula had been given to Rene's patient by an Ojibway 
         herbalist.

         In 1922, at the age of 33, Rene left the hospital and went to
         Bracebridge, Ontario, Canada.  Once there, she began 
         administering Essiac to all who came to her.  

         The majority of those whom she treated came on referral with
         letters from their physicians certifying they had incurable
         or terminal cancer.  These poor souls had been given up by
         the medical profession as untreatable and had been sent home
         to die.

         Rene began gathering the plants she needed and prepared the
         herbal treatment herself in her own kitchen.

         A kindly man lent Rene a building with a kitchen in it and it
         was from here that she produced the most amazing cancer
         treatment known to man!

         Essiac was administered both orally and by injection by Rene.
         In cases where the life support organs were severely damaged,
         the cancer patients died.  However; they lived far longer 
         than the medical profession had predicted, and more importantly,
         they lived out the rest of their lives free of pain!

         Other patients, who were listed as either terminal or hopeless,
         but who didn't have severe damage to life support organs, were
         cured and lived 35 - 45 years after Rene treated them!

         The effectiveness of this simple herbal cure was so startling
         that it could not be ignored!

         The Canadian Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Parliament
         became involved.  A petition was raised by former patients,
         and grateful family members of Rene's.

         All these grateful people were petitioning Canada's officials
         for Rene Caisse's right to administer the remedy to anyone
         who asked for it, and for there to be no threat of interference
         on the part of the authorities.

         Fifty-five thousand signatures were collected on the petition
         and the proposal went before Canada's legal parliament for a vote.

         In 1938, Essiac came within three votes of being legalized by
         the Ontario government as a remedy and treatment for terminal
         cancer patients!

         Another pioneer of Essiac Dr. Gary L. Glum, closed his practice
         in 1977 and now devotes his time to investigative writing.

         Dr. Glum was interviewed by a columnist of Wildfire magazine.
         Below is the result of that interview:

         Dr. Glum had many prominent patients and friends.  Among those
         he treated were well-known professional athletic teams and 
         Olympic teams.

         In his disclosure of experiences he refuses to reveal names
         to keep his patient's confidential information from being
         exposed to publicity.

         A close personal friend of Dr. Glum's who lived in Detroit, 
         Michigan, knew Rene Caisse.  Dr. Glum promised not to reveal
         his friend's name, due to her husband's prominent position. 
         His friend requested this specifically from Dr. Glum, but 
         he gave his friend's story.
         
         In 1959 Dr. Glum's friend had been diagnosed with
         cervical cancer by doctors in a Detroit hospital.  She was
         given up as incurable and terminal with only about ten days
         to live.

         This woman convinced her husband to take her to Bracebridge,
         Canada where she went to see Rene Caisse.  Rene treated her
         with the herbal remedy she had developed.

         In a short time, Dr. Glum's friend didn't have a cancer cell
         in her body!  Remember, she was only given ten days to live!
         That's how fast Essiac works!

         Later Dr. Glum's friend began dedicating her life to distributing
         information about Essiac in the United States.

         Dr. Glum interviewed a woman named Mary McPherson, who was a
         very close personal friend of Rene Caisse's.  Mary, her mother,
         and husband were all patients of Rene's.  They were all treated
         for cancer and were cured by Rene.

         Mary started working with Rene in the 1930's.  She took care of
         all Rene's accumulated documents on Essiac over a 40 year period. 
         
         Rene Caisse died in 1978.  It was at this time that the 
         Canadian Ministry of Health & Welfare destroyed all of Rene's
         documents which Mary McPherson had kept.

         It took a fifty-five gallon barrel behind Rene's home to hold
         all of the documents when the officials burned them!

         Why were the documents burned?

         Dr. Glum knew from his own investigation of Essiac and its 
         history that the government officials didn't want information 
         about patients who were cured by Essiac who had official reports
         written by medical doctors which stated that these same patients
         had incurable, terminal cancer!

         The officials didn't want this information to get into the 
         hands of the press, the people, or anyone else.  These same
         officials had found out what Essiac was in 1937.  Hearings at
         The Royal Cancer Commission hearings had come to the same
         conclusion as Rene Caisse - that Essiac was indeed a cure for
         cancer!  And it is non-toxic!

         Dr. Glum stated that the information about Essiac was withheld
         because cancer is the second largest revenue producing business
         in the world, the first being the petrochemical industry.

         Because cancer is such a big business, no one has ever really
         sought to cure cancer - only control it!  Research which appears
         from time to time is squelched if it is a cancer cure.

         Dr. Glum went on to state that Harvard, Temple, Tufts, 
         Northwestern, and Chicago Universities have all tested Essiac.
         All came to the same conclusions as Rene Caisse.  All the 
         information released by these prominent studies have been
         buried!

         Another statement on Essiac was published in 1991 by the
         Canadian Journal of Herbalism, it stated:

         Essiac is not a hoax or a fraud.  To hear experiences described
         by the patients themselves cannot help but convince observers
         that dramatic and beneficial changes definitely take place in
         those who receive the remedy.

         Although the focus on Essiac has been as a cancer treatment,
         it alleviated and sometimes cured many chronic conditions 
         because it cleanses the blood as well as the liver and strengthens
         the immune system.
                   

                            <*> MORE RECENT CASES <*>

         D. Clevenger, a lady of Sequin, Texas was sent home to die in
         three weeks after being diagnosed as having incurable, terminal 
         cancer.  A biopsy had been done and the cancer had enveloped
         her spinal column and surrounding organs like moss.

         D. Clevenger ordered Essiac, prepared it immediately upon its
         arrival and began taking it regularly.

         D. informed the manufacturers of Essiac, LongLastings, that
         she was feeling much better and had even returned to her part-
         time job, working in the local health food store.

         This lady continued to be relatively active, she was 82 years
         old, and what is also important is; she was free of pain!

         This gracious lady did die in August of 1994,  she had lived
         six months past the time she was supposed to have died!  Her
         organs had been so severely damaged by the cancer before she
         started taking the Essiac that they couldn't sustain her any
         longer.

         D. Clevenger called LongLastings several times to thank us
         for the Essiac and to tell us how shocked and surprised she
         was that she was living a relatively normal life, free of pain!

         The doctors had told her she would need to be in the hospital
         for morphine and fluid treatment very soon after the biopsy
         was done.  D. Clevenger never went back to the hospital, but
         kept active until just two weeks before she died.  She passed
         away at home with her husband by her side.

         A second, more recent case, is that of M.K. Long, of Coupeville,
         Washington, the writer of this article.

         I was diagnosed in 1987 with a cancer blood count of 12.
         Cancer blood counts run on a scale of 7-20 with 20 as being
         incurable, terminal cancer.

         The doctor wanted to do an exploratory, but I never went back
         because I knew that when cancer is exposed to the open air
         during an exploratory, it grows three times as fast and is
         virtually impossible to control.

         I began taking Essiac back in 1987 and now lead a full
         productive life today, thanks to Essiac.  I have taken Essiac
         every day since 1987, and now take the Kombucha Elixir for its
         cleansing abilities, and many other beneficial abilities.

         A third case is that of B. Long, of Waverly, Illinois.  
         Mr. Long was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Limphoma in the
         early part of 1994.  He began taking Essiac and the 3" x 7"
         tumor under his arm immediately reduced by one-third its
         original size.

         Case after case of Essiac users testify to the fact that
         Essiac works!
