One of our physician's needs ANY information on the following:
An herbal cancer remedy used in the 1930's and popularized by a nurse named
Renee Caisse, RN. It was called "Essaic" or "Flor-Essence" and contains
burdock root, sheep sorrel, turkey rhubarb root and slippery elm bark. I have
looked in some of our herbal medicine books and history of cancer treatment
books and have come up with nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions or
know about this?  Please send responses to me (email address is <a href="/cgi-bin/wa?LOGON=A3%3Dind9312%26L%3DMEDLIB-L%26E%3D0%26P%3D168507%26B%3D--%26T%3Dtext%252Fplain" target="_parent" >[log in to unmask]</a>
Also, I know there is an alternative medicine listserv or usenet group. Does
anyone have that internet address?  Thanks in advance for your time.
I forgot to mention that the nurse Renee Caisse was Canadian.
