Rene Caisse First Learned About Essiac Tea From...a Breast Cancer Patient!
Did you know that Essiac tea was actually discovered due to its positive effects on Breast Cancer? The very first patient Rene Caisse worked with was a breast cancer patient. She was patient zero when it comes to Essiac and is the whole reason why so many people worldwide use Essiac today. You can watch a video of Rene Caisse's story here.
Learn the Difference Between Estrogen-Replacement Therapy and Isoflavones Found Naturally in Food Products
Red clover is one of the herbs in Essiac Tea. It also just so happens to be a rich source of isoflavones. Many people wonder why isoflavones are important, and also if there can be harm with their use.
According to Gregory Burke, MD, Isoflavones are compounds that mimic the beneficial effects of estrogen - with less risks. This is because estrogen-replacement therapy raises the risk of breast and ovarian cancer, but isoflavones found in the diet such as those found in soy do not (Dr. Burke is the professor and director of public health sciences at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, North Carolina).
It appears that the effects of isoflavones in the body are dose-dependent, meaning that the optimal amount should be consumed in order to yield the best outcomes. Essiac tea is formulated with the appropriate amount of isoflavone. One 2007 Dutch study found that high plasma levels of genistein were associated with a 32% reduction in breast cancer risk. 2 3
Learn More About Isoflavones in Food and Their Benefit to the Body
- There is an article from the Mayo Clinic mentioning how isoflavones in food such as soy are not sufficient to cause breast cancer.
- The article also mentions that a lifelong diet including such foods actually reduces breast cancer. Red clover is an herb, which is considered a food, and contains the isoflavone Genistein.
- You can also read about how soy isoflavones can potentially help the with cancer in this study. 4
You can read the entire study discussing soy isoflavone benefits here.
Learn About Genistein, the Phytochemical in Red Clover, and It's Action in the Body
- The concentration of Genistein, which is a phytochemical in red clover inhibits the estrogen receptors in tumors.
- This make the estrogen in your body unable to compete with said receptors.
- Genistein has also been shown to be of clinical significance in targeting the stem cells in breast cancer. In this way red clover can be protective. 5
- In addition, Formononetin which is also a phytochemical and one of the main components of red clover plants, inhibited the proliferation of MCF-7 cells and effectively induced cell cycle arrest in a study. 6
When it Came to a Personal Decision About My Own Health, I Choose Essiac
This topic is personal for me - I took Genuine Essiac myself when doctors found a lump in my breast. Because my aunt had Breast Cancer in her 30s, I knew I was at a higher risk. I was fortunate that the lump was found to be benign, but I had total faith that Essiac tea was a great option and I jumped on the Improvement of Health regimen when I got the news that there might be something wrong. You can see that we have more Breast Cancer testimonials than we do any other type of cancer in our list of success stories. That tells you a lot!

Our Money Back Guarantee Instills Confidence in Your Purchase
Think about it — why would on earth would we offer a Money Back Guarantee that your health will improve when using this product if there were anything in it at all that could be harmful? The answer is that we would never do that to our customers and to our business. Let's dive into this a bit more below.
Find Out What Would Happen if We Took the Red Clover Out of Our Essiac Formula
The first problem with taking red clover out is that herbs in Essiac Tea function in a synergistic manner.
In other words, when the herbs in Essiac are taken together in the specific ratio, they have a different effect in the body than they would have if they were taken one herb at a time. The synergistic benefit is lost when even one herb is missing.
7 herb Essiac just wouldn't be the same! And of course 4 herb Essiac wouldn't be, either. 8 herb Essiac has the same 4 herbs as the original 4 herb Essiac, but also has 4 additional herbs that are designed to enhance the effectiveness. This is the eight herb formula that Rene Caisse endorsed and the one that she found worked best in her research. And it's called Genuine Essiac™ today.
None of the 4 herb Essiac blends offer the Money Back Guarantee that we do. The serving size of 4 herb Essiac is 2 oz, and the serving size of 8 herb Essiac is 3 oz. The extra oz. is for the additional 4 herbs, so you're not missing out on anything about the original 4 herb tea with the 8 herb one. You're getting the exact same amount of the original 4 herbs in that blend.
The second problem with taking the red clover out is that red clover is one of the most powerful ingredients in this formula.
As mentioned in the video at the top of this page, you don't want to miss out on the beneficial isoflavones present in red clover that have been proven through research. The product works so well that we are able to offer our 6 Month Money Back Results Guarantee. Read more about Our Guarantee here.
