THERE CAME A QUICK RAPPING at my door. It was the postman
delivering a certified letter. With my hand shaking and my heart
beating a mile a minute, I reached for the letter. My eyes
riveted on the return address for a clue as to where it came
from, I recognized the name of the surgeon's office where I had
recently gone to get my breasts examined. At the time of the
examination, the doctor had suggested that I set a date for
surgery before leaving the office. I had done that. But, having
second thoughts, I had phoned and canceled the appointment.
I ripped open the letter and read: "I am
certain that you understood when I explained my concern to you.
The radiologist in my office stated that there is a large mass in
the left breast which is different from the other tissue. It is
recommended that the mass be excised." The letter went on to
say that I needed to phone and reschedule an appointment for
surgery. It was signed by the doctor. I was petrified, but for
some inexplicable reason I was in no hurry to have surgery.
For several months, I had been feeling a
fullness in my right breast, and both breasts were sore to the
touch. When I had gone for my regular mammogram, the technician
told me I wouldn't be getting the results until the end of the
week, in spite of the fact that the radiologist read the x-rays
in the morning. I new I was going to be on edge every time the
phone rang.
I went for my annual gynecological check up.
The doctor said my right breast should be checked by a surgeon.
It felt denser than it had the previous year. I was given the
names of several surgeons whom I might call.
My husband drove me about fifty miles from our
home to see a doctor I had chosen from the list. The doctor and
an assistant examined me. The examination was painful due to the
pressure they put on my breasts. They were trying to see if any
fluid would come out. It didn't.
My complaint had actually begun with the right
breast, but the in-house radiologist studied the mammograms I had
brought with me and decided that it was actually the left breast
that was showing a change. The doctor described what I had as a
large mass, and he recommended that I have a lumpectomy
per-formed on my left breast. I was smiling and joking while the
doctor explained it to me. The doctor, however, did not smile.
That led me to conclude this was serious business.
At first, I felt happy about the idea of
getting rid of a big lump. Then the doctor mentioned that scar
tissue would probably form where the lump was excised, and that
the removal would not prevent another lump from growing in the
same place. I thought to myself, "Surgery seems to be a
no-win situation."
I was told I needed to cut out caffeine, take
vitamin E, and start taking oil of primrose on a daily basis. I
could buy what I needed at a health food store. It was also
suggested I discontinue hormone replacement therapy.
I was alarmed when the doctor suggested that I
might have to be placed on a male hormone to get rid of the pain.
The last thing I wanted for myself was to look masculine. I
pictured hair growing on my face. I thought to myself that I
would rather be dead than turn into a freak.
The next day, my husband drove me to a nearby
health food store to buy the vitamin E and other items I needed.
We ran into a women who had helped him with some health problems
he had once had. She told us about Essiac tea. She said many
people had come into the store asking for it, and that they had
had wonderful results. She was so enthusiastic about it that I
thought to myself, "I can try it, and go under the knife
later, if I decide to.
Early the next morning, I started on the
program of drinking Essiac tea. It was to be consumed on an empty
stomach once in the morning and again before I went to sleep. The
tea had been used in Canada to cure cancer. I didn't know for
sure that I had cancer, but the doctor had described what I had
as a large mass.
Essiac tea had been used by a Canadian nurse,
Rene Caisse, to successfully treat thousands of cancer patients
from 1920 until her death in 1978. The treatment brought
remissions to hundreds of documented cases, and the tea came
within three' votes of being legalized by the Canadian parliament
in 1938. The tea had the support of many prominent physicians,
including a well-known doctor in the United States by the name of
Dr. Charles Brusch. He is known for the prestigious Brusch
Medical Center and for treating President Kennedy. He claimed a
personal cure for cancer in his lower abdomen using the tea.
The main ingredients of Essiac tea are burdock
root, turkey rhubarb root, sheep sorrel, and slippery elm bark.
In 1966, two Hungarian scientists reported "considerable
anti-tumor activity with the burdock root. In 1984, Japanese
scientists discovered the mixture to be capable of reducing cell
mutation. The Japanese named the new property they found in
burdock root "the B-factor," for burdock factor. Essiac
tea breaks down nodular masses to more normal tissue, while
greatly alleviating pain.
Rene Caisse found that the tea reduced tumor
growth and that the other herbs acted as blood purifiers,
carrying destroyed tissue as well as infections thrown off by the
malignancy out of the body. It was observed that the tea also
strengthened the body's defense mechanisms, enabling normal cells
to destroy abnormal ones as nature intended. If a tumor did not
disappear, at least it could be regressed, then surgically
removed after six to eight Essiac treatments. Yes, I believed I
would take a chance on the tea, and go under the knife later, if I
decide to.
The next morning, I awakened when it was still
dark outside and I ingested the tea on a empty stomach. After
breakfast, I took vitamin E, oil of primrose, and some multiple
vitamins. During the day, I took vitamin C. There are orange
groves near where we live, and my husband began making fresh
orange juice every morning. At night, before I went to sleep, I
ingested Essiac tea on an empty stomach. This regimen went on for
six weeks.
During the treatment, a feeling of confidence
came over me. I realized that 1 was no longer afraid about my
breast. I put off calling the surgeon's office to reschedule the
surgery. I had peace about doing this.
After taking the tea for six weeks, I noticed
a remarkable improvement in my breasts. The pain I had
experienced had disappeared one week after I had begun taking the
tea. I also noticed the breast tissue seemed softer and mote
supple. This was more the way breast tissue is supposed to feel.
Before taking the tea, my breast had felt dense, lumpy, and hard.
I hadn't been able to lay on my stomach because of the pain.
After the treatment, I definitely noticed an improvement.
There was only one side effect with the tea: a
constant itchy feeling on my arms and other parts of my body. I
stopped taking the tea for two weeks, then took it again for six
weeks. I again stopped for two weeks and then did another six
weeks. I had peace about my breasts. I went on with my life and
forgot about it until it was time once again for my annual
mammogram.
The week after the mammogram, an envelope came
in the mail. I opened the envelope and read: "We have
reviewed the radiologist's report of your recent mammogram. There
is no evidence of malignancy, and although this does not
guarantee that there is no cancer, it is reassuring."
My heart leapt with joy, but I still wanted to
make sure. I got on the phone and requested the radiologist's
report. When it came, I read the words: "No definite
dominant mass or speculated density is identified." This was
evidence that my breast tissue had improved since my last
mammogram. I had good reason to rejoice.
