“A
requiem mass was held for Rene Caisse at St Josephs
Catholic Church at 11.00 AM last Friday. Nurse
Caisse who died in South Muskoka Memorial Hospital .
On December 26 (1978) suffered a broken
leg in a fall at her Hiram St home five week ago, from
which she never recovered ( pneumonia was the
cause of death)
PHOTO Monument
When
she died, she was 91, and had reached the summit of
her professional career as the developer of ESSIAC
((Caisse spelled backwards)) , a herb tea (decoction)
said by many to be a positive benefit in the treatment
of cancer. Although marries briefly
to Charles Mc Gauhey, a North Bay lawyer, one of many
who benefited from ESSIAC. Nurse Caisse used
her maiden name most of her life (except in some
of her paintings) Rene was one of eight girls
in a family of 11 children and she was the third daughter
born to Joseph and Frieselde Caisse
(Potvin) The Caisse family
moved to Bracebridge from Peterborough in the late 1800’s
before there was even a railway into the Muskoka district.
Joseph a tobacconist, died at 60, but Friselde,
a seamstress and milliner, lived until she was 90 .
Indeed, Frieselde Caisse received ESSIAC Treatment
in her 72 nd year, after it was found that she had cancer
of the liver. Dr. Mc Gibbon, who always said he was
opposed to her work, challenged her to do something
about her mother’s condition. After 10 days of
treatment Frieselde began to recover and, in fact lived
another 18 years.
Rene’s
entire life was dedicated to the nursing profession
and it was during the early years of her career that
she came upon the cancer treatment which
was to dominate the rest of her life. It was (in
fact) in Haileybury Hospital Ontario, that Rene first
learned of the herbal tea(decoction) which she
believed could cure cancer. An elderly woman who
had cured herself of breast cancer years earlier, gave
Rene the recipe for a herbal remedy used by the Indians
(Ojibway). Over the years which followed, Rene
refined the recipe, experimented with mice and subsequently
used the finished product to treat people suffering
from cancer. Hundreds received ESSIAC at Nurse
Caisse’s Bracebridge clinic and in the late
1930’s there was lot of public pressure to
have it recognized by the medical profession as a cancer
cure.
The
provincial (State) government’s Cancer Commission
formed in 1938. In 1939 it released a report recognizing
only limited benefits from ESSIAC in the treatment
of Cancer. The Commission refused to acknowledge
it as a cancer cure and demanded to know the ingredients
before allowing the herbal tea to be tested further. Nurse
Caisse refused to release her formula for the ESSIAC
and continued to do so until she handed it over
to the Resperin Corporation early last year. Throughout
her long struggle with the Cancer Society and the medical
profession in general. Nurse Caisse insisted that
if she were to hand over the formula to the medical
establishment her cancer treatment would be shelved
forever.
In tests conducted during 1977
two Ontario doctors concluded that ESSIAC was
totally useless in treating 40 patients with various
forms of cancer. Nurse Caisse dismissed the tests as
just one more attempt by the medical profession to discredit
her and subsequently(many years later) handed
her formula over to the Resperin Corporation. Which
is controlled by the uranium mining magnate, Steven
Roman of Toronto. Resperin agreed to pay Rene
$250 (Canadian dollars) during the test period and a
share of any profits, should the treatment ever be placed
on the market
“In
comparison to the amounts of money offered to her for
her formula over the last 50 years including (in
1938) one offer of 1 million dollars The Resperin
payment was not all that generous. (Test period 6
month 26 weeks at 250 /wk = $6,500 )
Nevertheless Rene Caisse believed that the time had
come to hand her formula over to somebody and she clearly
believed Resperin had the ability to get the Essiac
approved as a cancer treatment.

When Rene was asked the question,
Why do you not write your story and battles?
“I have been asked many times
why I did not write the story of my battle over the
past 30 years with the “Powers that Be”
in the Medical world over my ESSIAC Treatment
for cancer. One reason is that the Cancer Control Society
in my opinion is the richest and most powerful organization
in the world. More powerful than any government and
are answerable to no law of any country. They
have their own police, they set up their own courts
of law to deal with any one who is daring enough to
have the courage of his convictions, and tries to evolve
anything that is beneficial in the treatment of Cancer,
which is my opinion their monopoly. I believe
that they also control the press, at any rate it is
not healthy for any paper to print anything favourable
about cure for cancer You know that when a cure for
cancer is accepted, it will revolutionize the
present day method of treatment, and you may be sure
the Cancer Control Commission will never allow that
to happen. They would also lose control of all the moneys
given them so freely for Cancer Research. This in my
opinion they will never allow to happen, even though
they have had so much money for research, they have
not in fifty years been able to offer the world even
a hope of a real cure for this most of diseases
( same applies nowadays 1998) ( Cancer
control society always opposed her) Statistics
show that in the four years of the World War 2
the United States of America lost approximately 284,000
men and in the same four years the USA lost approximately
672,000 of their population from Cancer. (approximately
the same ratio is applicable from the end of the second
world war to 1998, Cancer statistics show increases
in each annual death rate) Still nobody did
a thing about it, but give and give more money to the
Cancer Society Any other effort that took in this
long to develop something at least promising would
be considered not worth supporting. But the public are
only told what the Cancer Society want them to be told,
and the gullible public accept anything they are told.
(by the so called authorities) Radiation
causes Cancer, and this is the only thing the medical
world has to offer as a beneficial treatment for Cancer.
It is in my opinion that it might destroy a growth,
but it eventually kills the patient. Two gentlemen
came to Canada from New York to find out first
hand about my work on Cancer patients. I told them all
I could about it, but they wanted to talk to the doctors
and get their opinions but were politely told that it
was not healthy for any doctor to talk about or know
anything in favour of ESSIAC Treatment. Though
they had all in the past years given diagnoses to the
patients coming to see me for ESSIAC Treatments
for Cancer and had seen these patients recover, but
they dare not express a favourable opinion of the treatment
, even though they have seen these same patients
living and well for many years after they had been given
at most a few months to live. Rather than admit that
ESSIAC was beneficial, they would admit to making
mistaken diagnoses ( the same is true in the 1990’s)
The Cancer Society demanded pathological diagnoses,
and when I presented patients cured, who had the report
of Pathologist, the head doctor of the College of Physicians
and Surgeons Ontario Dr. Noble got up and said before
the Commission that even the pathologist could be wrong,
and he was speaking of their own pathologist.
Then every once in
a while, I would have the medical Policemen visit me
and threaten me with arrest, if I continued to treat
Cancer patients, so I decided to give up the work that
was doing so much for suffering humanity. One
person cannot fight this kind of opposition ( later
it was done) I was and am sincere in wanting
to help Cancer sufferers, and I did just that, for forty
five years . People still write, phone or come
to my house begging for the treatment, because they
know someone that I cured years ago, who is still
living and well, but I have to turn them away or be
taken to court and if I give the medication out for
self administration, there is a seven year penitentiary
sentence facing anyone who gives out anything to help
Cancer patient. So it is my opinion that the Cancer
Control Commission will continue to take the public’s
and our government’s monies, but will never admit
a cure for Cancer. In spite of everything that
has been said to the contrary, I have always been,
and am still willing to turn over my formulae to the
medical association any time that they will assure me
that it will be used to help suffering humanity, and
that it will not be shelved in favour of present day
methods of treatments; after the hearing of my case
(1938) before the Cancer Commission of Ontario, they
know that it has merit.

Scientists have discovered in
the tombs in the Pharaohs that Cancer (and now even
Aids) has plagued mankind for thousands of
years. Millions have been spent and are being spent
yearly in treatment and research by our greatest medical
specialists to find the remedy to crush out its existence.
Today, the only remedies in general practice and
recognized by the medical profession, as the result
of the above efforts are surgery, radium, and deep X-
Rays therapy (
note chemo was not an option at this time) The
disease, however, has spread and in spite of health
measures and publicity to point its cause in early treatment,
it has steadily increased until now (even 1998)
it has become the second greatest cause of death in
the world today. Statistics show that the alarming increase
of this readied menace is such that it is
a only matter of time, when in the near future, unless
a breakthrough is found, it will be first on the mortality
list. It is quite apparent , therefore, that surgery,
radium, and deep x ray are not the answers. (even
with present day 1998 chemotherapy added to the above
list) It does seem that ultimate success
does not lie in this direction. In fact in this day
of radioactive fallout they have found that radium radiation
is causing cancer, instead of curing it. ( still
true 1998) True, cancer taken in the
early stages is being treated more or less successfully
in some cases by these remedies and a vast organized
campaign is being waged to bring the knowledge of this
fact into every home in the land “ SEE YOUR
DOCTOR FOR A CHECKUP AND A CHECK” is their
slogan ( still in vogue today 1998)
“ See your doctor immediately if you
have any reason to suspect that you have the disease”
is what they say.
Unfortunately, there are very
few physicians who can diagnose cancer, or very few
symptoms to warn the individual or the doctor, in the
majority of cases. Especially in many internal afflictions
there are few, if any noticeable symptoms and in the
majority of these cases, the disease is too well established
or rooted before the doctor or his patient even suspect
its presence. Cancer generally follows the
line of least resistance and does not cause pain or
even inconvenience, in its early stages, until it has
invaded an organ or nerve center. It may be slow in
the development and in such cases is most deceptive
and difficult to discover or feel. It may develop rapidly
and make itself felt early, when it can be fairly easily
be diagnosed and treated A slow growing cancer
may not bother a person for years until it affects a
vital organ. In its rapid growth, however, a few months
of progress may make it too late for the surgeon’s
knife and the deep x -ray therapy may only scatter it
to other parts; while radium. Drives it in instead of
out and burns the surrounding tissue. I believe
that radium used in too heavy doses, is the prolific
cause of further cancer in the destroyed burnt tissue.
Once the cancer gets into the glands to any extent,
medical science accepts defeat. In many cases,
infected internal glands cannot be treated by any of
the above mentioned methods. The same applies to all
vital organs. If the affected part can, in its infancy
be cut out by surgery before the malignancy starts shooting
out its fine spider web like tentacles, a cure is sometimes
effected. Once, however, the cancer becomes active
and starts to travel to any extent, as it does along
the line of least resistance, following its insidious
relentless course, any destructive agency applied to
the human body can only do more harm (still true
today 1998) ( if the surgeon knife happens
to cut the cancer tissue and cells escape into the blood
stream then it spreads metastases to other parts of
the body). The shock to the system may
slow up its activity and you can stop its course
for a time, but the shock must of necessity have a more
deleterious effect on the human body. The body
in its weakened condition, is less able to resist the
subsequent ravages and the more deeply penetrating action
of this Dreadful scourge, which soon makes itself felt
in rapid loss of weight and inevitable torture and gradual
starvation. It is reasonable to conclude that
no destructive agent can be successfully applied to
eradicate a cancerous growth which has more power in
its wildly growing cells in a living organism and their
destructive ability, than the resistant ability of any
organ in the human body. The malignancy
is born of some freak of nature which has reversed the
process of renewing wasting tissue and building up healthy
cells.

Malignant cells form and feed
upon the healthy ones. I believe that there is an interchange
of substances between the malignant cells and the healthy
cells of the body absorbing from the healthy cells,
that which is required for their growth and development
while they throw off into the human body, something
which emaciates and destroys it. In this Dreadful
growth the healthy tissue is destroyed until finally
a living destructive organ dominates and spreads its
evil shape without resistance. ( Intra cellular communications
Scientific American) The
Cancer Research Foundation once announced that they
were giving two doctors in Toronto ( Ontario
Canada) a grant
of $226,503.00 to let them prove that viruses
cause cancer. The virus theory was brought out by two
scientific doctors from Liverpool ( England)
years ago and these doctors were brought over to America
to prove their theory and were discredited because they
were not able to reproduce the same results here that
they had obtained in their own laboratories.
I
do not believe that cancer is caused by viruses, but
I can readily believe that a malignant mass can create
viruses and that is where the interchange of substances
between malignant cells and the healthy cells take from
healthy cells, and in the exchange throw of viruses
into the healthy cells, in order to weaken and destroy
them I feel sure that if viruses are discovered,
it will be in this area. As for cancer being
hereditary, my experience with many thousands of patients
tells me that it is- in some cases. I do not mean
that one inherits the actual growth, but that one can
inherit a predisposition to the disease and any destruction
of the cells in these people will set up a malignant
growth . However, at the present time there are babies
being born with malignancy, of parents who have no history
of cancer at all. This, I believe is caused by radioactive
fallout.
The Cancer Society has been in
existence for over fifty years ( from the date of
interview) and everyone
donates to their support , hoping each year that they
will find something beneficial in the treatment of this
Dread disease, which is claiming so many of our loved
ones, but up to date they know not the cause, nor the
cure ( still very true 1998)
I have in my possession, an old pocket encyclopedia
which was written in 1901 , edited by Dr. George M Gould
and Dr. Walter L Pyle of Philadelphia ( formerly editors
of International Medical Magazine) in which they define
“CANCER” “A malignant
tumour characterised by a network of connecting
tissue. The areola of which are filled with cell masses
resembling epithelial cells . Recent observation seems
to point to its micro-organismal origin and infectious
nature Local carcinoma are described under a different
heading” (unquote) I doubt whether the
present day statistics could tell you anything more
about cancer, after these years of research than this.
An examination of the value of medical treatments, especially
the obsession that destructive treatment by surgery,
radiation, and nitrogen mustard-like drugs is the only
treatment worthwhile, combined with a willingness to
investigate, could lead to the eventual cure of cancer.
Such a cure will probably be obtained after the discovery
of some biochemical variation between the malignant
cells and the healthy cells. ( 1998 this is
still valid deduction)
It has been found in post mortem that individuals have
had cancer during their lives without knowing
of its existence and the cancer has increased to the
extent that all that remained was the evidence that
destructive work had at one time been done and
stopped. Nature had either supplied the body with the
resistance or more probably, the human system ceased
to supply the malignant cells with the material vital
to its existence, the human body cannot stand the havoc
and destruction caused by any external irradiating or
lethal agent such as radiation, which is strong enough
to destroy a living cancer, including healthy tissue
( still a valid theory of 1998 which we now
call the Immune system)
My (ESSIAC)
Treatment is
non-toxic herbs given by hypodermic injections into
the muscle. The treatment goes to the seat of the trouble
no matter where it is, whether internally or on surface
and gives to the healthy cells, the strength to resist
the demands of the malignant cells for the substance
upon which the malignancy thrives, thus causing a recession
of the malignant cells from the healthy cells, which
have become stronger. “ESSIAC” Treatment
consists of an intramuscular injection, followed by
medication given orally to purify the blood and carry
off any infection thrown off by the destruction of the
malignant cells ( excretion of necrotic tissues)
Both of these medications are made from non-toxic herbs.

I
was Head Nurse at the Sisters of Providence Hospital
in northern Ontario town (Canada) which
I saw an elderly lady being bathed by one of my nurses
and noticed that one breast was just a mass of scar
tissue, so I asked about it. This lady told me that
years before, she had come out from England to the wilds
of northern Ontario to join her husband who was prospecting
out there. She developed cancer and she said an Indian
told her to make a tea out of certain herbs and drink
it. She did this for over a year and the breast
healed and although she was nearly eighty years of age,
had never had recurrence. I was very interested and
wrote down the names of the herbs she had used. Knowing
that at the time, doctors threw up their hands when
cancer was discovered in a patient, my thought was that
if I should ever develop cancer, I would use it.
A year later, I was an aged to retired doctor whom I
knew well and we were walking in his garden, when he
took his cane and lifted a weed and said to me. “
Nurse Caisse if the people would use this, there would
be little or no cancer in the world.” I
later discovered that this was one of the herbs that
Mrs. M had told me about. ( my mother a Mohawk told
me the same thing when I was 8 years old, I was told
never(pipi) (urinate) on it, it is (plant) a life
saver, and you never get really sick if you use it in
the seasons) (this will
be explained later on )
Some
time later, I got word that my mother ‘s only sister
had been operated on in Brockville ( Ontario
Canada) and
the doctors had found that she had cancer of the stomach
with a liver involvement . They gave her at the most
six months to live. I hastened to her and her
doctor Dr. R. O Fisher of Toronto (Ontario), whom I
knew well (having nursed patient for him many times)
was there, so I told him about the herb tea and asked
his permission to try it under his observation.
He gave me his consent and was so impressed with the
results that he gave me other hopeless cases to treat
for him. (Incidentally my aunt lived for twenty one
years after my treatment) Other doctors
hearing about me from Dr. Fisher, asked me to treat
patients for them after everything medical science had
to offer, had been used and failed (medical
rejects, same applies in 1998)
They too, were impressed with the results, so much so,
that they got together and had me treat an old man whose
face was eaten away and he was bleeding so badly that
they said he could not last more than 10 days.
My Treatment stopped the bleeding and the face
healed and lived for six more months (note
the treatment was also encompassing the salve) On
the strength of what those doctors saw with their own
eyes eight of them signed a petition to the Department
of National Health and Welfare ( Canada; in
Ottawa Ontario Capital of Canada)
Asking that I be given facilities to do independent
research of my discovery. This petition dated
at Toronto on October 27 th 1926

( blue book)
In
the meantime Dr. Fisher had shown me how, by elimination
of the protein content, it could be given by injection.
It took about two years to find out just what ingredients
could be given hypodermically without a reaction, and
by elimination, we found the ingredients that directly
reduced the growth of the cancer. However, I found that
the other ingredients which could not be injected, were
necessary to the treatment, in order to carry
the destroyed tissue and infections thrown off by the
malignancy, so by giving the injection to destroy the
mass of malignant cells and giving the medicine orally
to purify the blood , I was able to get the best results.
The Department of Health and Welfare,
after receiving the Petition signed by the doctors,
sent two doctors from Ottawa to have me arrested. But
they found that I was working with nine of the most
eminent doctors in Toronto and heard their opinions
they did not arrest me – in fact one of them Dr.
W. C. Arnold became so interested that he arranged
to have me work on mice at the Christie Street Hospital
Laboratories with Dr. Norich and Dr. Lockheed.
These mice were inoculated with Rous Sarcoma. I kept
these mice alive for fifty two days, which was longer
than anyone else had been able to do. Later I did a
series of mice with two other doctors and kept these
mice alive for 72 days. Then I made an appointment with
Dr. Frederick Banting (of insulin fame) After reading
my case notes, he examined the pictures of the man with
the face cancer ADD PHOTO and said.
“ Miss Caisse
I will not say you have a cure have for cancer but you
have more evidence of a beneficial treatment for
cancer than anyone in the world”.
(This is still true in 1998
if the true original formulation is used).
He (Dr. Banting) advised me to make application to the
University of Toronto for facilities to do deeper
research; he even offered to share his laboratory in
the Banting Institute with me and work with me.
However, in making application to the University, I
had to give them my formula. Thereby they would have
my formula and could refuse my application. That
is when I decided to prove it on its own merit, without
assistance if necessary and it was necessary.
Dr. F. G. Banting approved my decision.

I
well remember the first injection of the medication;
Dr. R. O. Fischer called me and said he had a patient
from Lyons, New York, who had cancer of the throat and
tongue and he wanted me to inject it into the tongue.
Well I was nearly scared to death as there was a violent
reaction a severe chill and the tongue was swollen
so badly, the doctor had to press it down with a spatula
to let the patient breath. This lasting about twenty
minutes, then the swelling went down, the chill subsided
and the patient was all right. In fact the cancer stopped
growing and the patient went home and lived quite comfortable
for almost four years. It was then that we first
started eliminating one substance, then another, until
I found out which ingredient actually stopped the growth
of the malignancy and could be given by injection, without
causing any reaction. However, we found that this was
not enough. The other ingredients were necessary to
purify the blood while the growth was being destroyed,
so we decided that along with the injection., I would
give the medicine orally. This brought quicker results
than just giving it orally, as I had been doing up to
that time.
Doctors
then started sending their patients to me at my apartment
until I had about thirty a day. I had to give up and
leave the city because the other tenants in the apartment
house where I was living objected, in any case
I did not make any charge and could not afford
to carry on there
(The
law of Ontario) MEDICAL ACT CHAPTER 234

( Note;
It is only the practice of medicine if “for hire,
gain, or hope of reward” have they feared competition?”)
So
I went to Peterborough and rented a house I no sooner
moved in than the College of Physicians and Surgeons
sent a policeman to issue a warrant for my arrest ,
when this man talked to me he said “ I am not going
to issue this warrant. I am going back to talk to Dr.
Noble, my Chief” I did not see him again. Next
day I wrote to the Honourable Dr Robb Minister of Health
and asked for a hearing. I received a letter back granting
me a hearing on the following Monday at 2 PM. I contacted
the doctors who had given me the patients. Five of them
came with me, with about twelve patients. We were
received very graciously at Queen’s Park by Dr.
Robb The Honourable Dr. B T Mc Gee ( Deputy Minister
and Dr. Cunningham of the Department of National Health
and Welfare.
After I had presented my case,
Dr. Robb said I could carry on, providing that patients
came to me with their doctors diagnoses and that I did
not charge (supra ) He said that I would not be
interfered with. I told him that my ambition was to
prove Essiac treatment on its own merit and make it
acceptable to the medical profession. I had become
an independent research worker and he said he admired
my courage so I started out again , quite proud and
happy, never Dreaming of the opposition I would meet.
I few days later I had a phone call from Dr. Albert
Bastedo of Bracebridge (Ontario)
who had sent me a patient with cancer of the bowel.
Dr. Bastedo he was so impressed with the results of
this case that he had gone before the Bracebridge Town
Council and had persuaded them to offer me the Old British
Lion Hotel building as a clinic, if I would come back
to my home town to practice. He persuaded me to
accept this offer. The mayor and Council were very enthusiastic
and with their aid and that aid of friends, relatives
and patients, I furnished an office, dispensary, reception
room, and five treatment rooms. Here I worked for almost
eight years “ Cancer Clinic” sign on
the door
Doctors sent or brought their
patients to me .Doctors from many parts of the United
States came to watch me treat, to examine patient and
observe results . Patients came from far in ambulances,
but after having a few treatments, they were able to
walk into the clinic by themselves They came from far
and near. Here, almost eight years, I treated thousands
of patients, most of them given up as hopeless, after
everything in medical science had failed. I always had
faith that if I could accumulate enough proof of the
different kinds of cancer, demanded by the Cancer Society
that they would eventually be glad to accept ESSIAC
as a Treatment for cancer I did not know
then of an organized effort to keep cancer cure from
being discovered ( the same is still on going) At
this stage I was beginning to feel the pressure brought
to bear on the doctors who were giving diagnoses. Patients
would come to the clinic without written diagnoses from
their doctors, and since I just had permission to treat
patient who came from their doctors with a written diagnose,
I had to turn them away. They would beg me to treat
them and no doubt brought pressure to bear on their
family doctors, who would give them a diagnose reluctantly.
It was very heartbreaking at times. Sometimes visiting
doctors would examine these patients and give a written
diagnose in pity for the patient.
Some people from Chicago, who
knew of my work, persuaded Dr. John Wolfer of Northwestern
University, Medical Division Alumni Association of Chicago,
to have me treat patients in the Clinic under the observation
of their doctors. Dr. B…. (a consultant)
specialist ) took me to see Dr. Wolfer and read
the histories of the cases I was to treat- all hopeless
cases, I looked them over and asked. “ When would
you like me to start” He looked surprised,
because he had expected me to turn them down (so he
told me later), When they arranged that
I should be in Chicago and treat these patients under
the observation of five doctors every Thursday , Dr.
B…. asked me on the way back to my friends, why
I had accepted these terrible cases. “ I will show
results that will surprise them even in this late stage
of the disease” I said “enough
to interest the most skeptical of them” and
I did. They later offered to open a clinic in
the Passavant Hospital in Chicago for me, if I would
stay in the United States.

For many years I took delegations
and groups of cured patients to the Department of Health
, always accompanied by doctors and members of the Council
asking that my treatment be recognised
The Bill was presented by the Honourable Leopold Mc
Caulley and J. Frank Kelly Liberal members of Parliament
Three hundred patients, my pastor, the Mayors of Bracebridge
and Huntsville and many prominent citizens accompanied
me to a Legislative Committee of fifty nine members.
In spite of all the evidence I had, I lost out by 3
votes. It was because of this Bill that the first Royal
Cancer Commission of Ontario was formed (It came to
light that the CMA (Canadian Medical Association)had
debated my case with the legislature before my hearing
and had promised that if the Bill was not passed they
would set up a Commission and give my Essiac Treatment
a fair investigation.
In my opinion that the hearing
of my case before the Cancer Commission was one of the
greatest farces ever perpetrated in the history of man
(The Commission Hearing , original copy is on hand
with the company who has the only true complete original
ESSIAC Treatment”) Over
three hundred and eighty patients came to be heard and
the Commission limited the Hearing to forty nine patients.
Then in the report, stated that I had only taken forty
nine patient to be heard ( refer to official
transcripts). That X - Ray reports were not
acceptable as a diagnosis and that the forty nine doctors
had made wrong or mistaken diagnoses It
is a sad state of affairs if doctors can diagnose an
affliction as “Cancer” and send the patient
home with a few months (at most ) to live, if they are
not cured. In the forty nine cases examined by
the Ontario Cancer Commission, the majority of these
had more that the diagnosis of one doctor; some of them
had three or four doctors and were told they had cancer
and were treated for malignancy before coming to me
for Essiac Treatment. The Cancer Commission,
at the hearing, admitted that every patient presented
had benefited or had been cured by ESSIAC;
many of them with pathological findings and reports-
but they said that the doctors had all been mistaken
in diagnosing the cases. Over three hundred patients
were waiting to be heard, but the Commission stated
that they had seen enough to give a report. They
made a big thing of my not giving the formula, but did
not state that I had for years been offering to give
it to them, provided they would admit some merit for
Essiac on the clinical proof I presented and assure
me that it would be used. Under these conditions I would
have gladly given it to them, but they would not give
me assurance that it would not be shelved, so I kept
my secret and they just published that "I refused
to give up the formula”
Dr. Emma M Carson MD of
Los Angeles examined over four hundred patients in my
clinic and her letter for publication said; ( the
original copies are the possession of the company which
has only true complete original formula Essiac)
“ Several prominent physicians and surgeons
who are quite familiar with the indisputable results
obtained in response to Essiac treatment and
who have also asserted their intense interest
in Cancer research work, conceded to me that Rene M.
Caisse ESSIAC Treatment is the most humane, satisfactory
and frequently successful remedy for annihilation of
cancer that they had found up to this time” (
also true in 1998)
Dr. B. L. Guyatt MD Curator and instructor of Anatomy
at the University of Toronto Ont, .followed my work
for over three years, coming frequently to the clinic
and examined patients, I will quote from his letter.
( on hand with the company who has the only
true complete original formula of ESSIAC Treatment
and all formulas plus the galenical formulations)
“ The first and most noticeable response observed
in this clinic “ Caisse Clinic” waiting room
is the cheerfulness and optimism of the treated patients.
This fascinated me-the Treatment received appeared
to be attacking the disability from the angle which
had greatly interested me. In most cases, distorted
countenances became normal and pain was reduced as treatment
proceeded. The relief from pain is a noticeable feature,
as pain in these cases is very difficult to control.
On checking authentic cancer cases it was found that
haemorrhage was readily brought under control
in many difficult cases. Open lesions of lip and breasts
responded to the treatment. Cancer of the cervix, rectum
and bladder had been caused to disappear. Patient with
cancer of the stomach, diagnosed by reputable physicians
and surgeons have returned to normal activity. The number
of patients treated in this clinic are many hundreds
and the number responding wholly or in part, I
do not know, but I do know that I have witnessed in
this clinic a treatment which bring about restoration,
through destroying the tumour tissue and supplying that
something which improves the mental outlook of life
and facilitates re-establishment of physiological function.
It is my privilege to do all in my power to bring cancer
sufferer, this remedy “ESSIAC”
(note; not a drug)
which has brought relief and restored health to many
in the past.”
Dr. Guyattt visited my clinic
at Bracebridge almost every month for a period of three
years, but in spite of these good reports (and without
proof or evidence to the contrary )
and the petitions by the doctors the Commission reported
that they had found no benefit in the treatment . I
asked for a hearing by the Registrar of the College
of Physicians and Surgeons (Ontario) and had an
answer that if I treated any more patients they would
take my to court.

Knowledge
destroys the occult in medicine and transforms it into
science, not, however until the profession is permeated
with the fact and common sense statement that “Truth
is before any other consideration”.
This should be the scientific spirit in the treatment
of cancer or any other disease. The profession
has been moving along so-called scientific lines and
not natural lines, and it is my opinion that the dictation
of a few men, is faithfully followed by general practitioners
without question. It is my opinion that if anyone steps
out of line and does his or her own thinking and accomplishes
anything out of the ordinary with medicine and methods
generally unknown , the dictators ostracize and
condemn them without a fair investigation. No
matter how much greater his or her accomplishment is
than those of the dictators they are “quackific”
and not scientific He or she is a quack and an exploiter.
The true facts are that the lone thinker (as in my case),
has become so absorbed, have been exploited of everything
they possessed. The prevailing spirit of modern medicine
has been that of striving for dominance and domination
rather than direction. The fact of the matter is, that
it lies with broad-minded laymen to take a firm stand.
Then the lone thinker, who have achieved success in
the treatment of cancer, may have an opportunity to
demonstrate the method and success he or she is having
in the treatment of this Dread disease.
Having selected (randomly)
twenty six of the
many patients treated with ESSIAC years ago,
I wrote to each one to find out if they were still
living. To my surprise I received signed and witnessed
statements from twenty one (out of 26) who were still
living without recurrence for over twenty years I cannot
understand what greater proof the Medical Association
requires before admitting that ESSIAC is at least
beneficial . Most of these patients were given a few
months to live, by the respective doctors before coming
to me. Medical science has nothing to offer the cancer
sufferer but X Ray, radium, and surgery. (
even today it is still facts except they added the toxic
chemotherapy)
Radiation they now admit, had the opposite effect (
but they still use it in 1998)
it causes cancer instead of curing it. We all
know how little medical science has achieved in the
field of medicine so I will not elaborate on it (
even in 1998 the medical statistics show the same achievements)
There
was just one incident in the eight years of running
my weekly clinics at Bracebridge that marred the serenity
of my work and I will never forget it. A patient
Mrs. Gilrouth, walked into my treatment room, I gave
her a treatment and she immediately Dropped dead
. I had treated over fifty patients that day with the
same medication and they were all fine. There were two
doctors but she was dead before they could do anything.
I remembered that her doctor had told me that this could
happen any time from an embolism. Her two sons who were
with her , told me that their doctor had warned them
that this could happen anytime . They said that she
had a weak spell that morning and they did not want
to bring her for treatment, but she had insisted on
coming. ( a person may die anywhere at home,
on the street, in church etc.)
Her doctor had told me over the telephone, that she
had this condition, plus an ulcer which would not heal,
and that he would appreciate it very much if I would
treat her for relief I could give her . He sent me a
written diagnosis of her case. Needless to say, I was
very upset, but I had to continue treating the patients
who had come from long distances. They were all anxious
to have their treatments in spite of what had happened.
The C.M.A. ( Canadian Medical
Association;) were
notified and they blasted me in all the papers and (big)
headlines: “Woman dies after treatment
at Caisse Cancer Clinic in Bracebridge“ etc.
( they never publish the deaths in hospitals
because it means in autochthon language( generally
and erroneously known as an Indian) “(
a place where you go to die”) Two
head pathologists, Dr. Robinson and Dr. Frankish from
Toronto came to do an autopsy. They did not arrest
me but held a “court” and gave me a trial
by Jury” of twelve men. ( this was most
probably a coroner’s inquest”) The
judge was Dr. Samirlie Lawson of Toronto. Somehow it
got out that I could not find the written diagnosis
from her doctor.- it was mislaid , but I found it before
appearing in court. I did not have time to tell my lawyer
that I had found it, so they were surprised when the
Crown attorney (State attorney in the USA)
asked me if I had a written diagnosis for this case
and I presented it to him . The fifty eight patients
I had treated that day were all in court to testify
for me , and Mrs. Gilrouth’s husband and her two
sons also testified for me. The pathologists went out
of their way to assure the jury that this would have
happened whether she had come for treatment or not-
if I was completely exonerated from all blame.
There were no excuse for putting me through this ordeal.
They did not close my clinic so I carried on as usual.
Why did they have me up on trial? If they had
waited for the report of the autopsy by their
own pathologists, there would have been no necessity
of a trial because the report read. “ Death occurred
as the result of an embolism in the pulmonary artery;
a condition brought about a varicose condition. Pulmonary
embolism had been evident for years.

The inquest mentioned last week
into the death of Mrs. Giltrouth was conducted by Dr,
S. Lawson of the Attorney General’s Department
And Dr. E. G. Ellis Coroner of Bracebridge Prof
Robinson, Prof of Pathology at University of Toronto
(one of the most distinguished pathologist on the continent)
and Dr. Edgar Frankish, the Medical Legal expert of
the Attorney General’s department made the post
mortem examination on Mrs. Gilrouth . Professor Robinson
said that Dr. Frankish had taken certain organs to Toronto
to study. The cause of death , Dr. Frankish said, was
a large circular embolism in the pulmonary artery. The
cause of death in his report was “ Pulmonary Embolism”
Professor Robinson said that in one of the clots he
found two fibrous tissue cells and he knew that
the clots were not new. “ In any event” he
said “there would have been no time between the
Essiac injection and death for such a clot to form.”
He agreed with dr. Frankish that death was due to pulmonary
embolism. I have asked myself many times why they subjected
me to this trial. Was it to afford publicity that would
make the patients and public less confident in the efficacy
of ESSIAC as a beneficial Treatment
for cancer? If it was it failed its purpose,
because more and more patients came for treatment after
the trial, than had been before, and more doctors visited
my clinic to see for themselves what was going on.
It seems so many years ago that
I was a young nurse full of enthusiasm for my work and
love and respect for the profession I had chosen, and
full of love and respect for the doctors I had worked
with (Really nurses were glorified waitresses
for the medical profession)
Doctors in that day were dedicated men. (not
the bureaucratic monopolistic dictatorship of the authorities
governing the practice. This is still true 1998)
Their oath meant something to them ( Now they
don’t even take the Hippocratic oath)
Their lives were dedicated to the healing of the sick,
the helping of suffering humanity in every way possible
. It was a privilege to be called to the bedside of
the sick who needed them . There are still such doctors
today (1940’s 1950”s )
but the are servile to the “powers that be”
and cannot do as they would wish to do. (
Just imagine what it is in the 1998 house
calls, caring for the patient , that is in the past
just like the oath) I
found this out when I tried to prove the merits of ESSIAC
– Herbal Treatment for Cancer independent
of the Cancer Society.
After trying for over twenty-five
years and presenting every possible type of proof demanded
to have my discovery of “ESSIAC” accepted
by the medical profession, it is my opinion that
cancer is a closed book, ( still true in 1998)
because if any cancer cure was discovered and accepted
it would revolutionise the whole present day method
of Treatments. It would do away with Radium,
deep x ray and to some extent surgery, as treatments
of cancer ( in modern days
include chemotherapy)
It would also lose for the Cancer Organisation control
of the millions of dollars freely given by our government
and the public in the hope of finding a cure for this
Dread disease. ( now the word millions can
be changed to BILLIONS)
It is also my opinion that this
Organization has powers beyond and not subjected to
our common laws. They have their own police and their
own courts of law where they were here and report upon
everything presented as a cure or beneficial treatment
for Cancer. ( the 1938 Commission did not only hear
the case of Essiac, but heard others,)
All these hearings are held “in camera” (not
public hearings) and
their report is accepted. The discoverer of the
treatment has no comeback. I speak with authority, because
I was subjected to such a hearing at such a loss, as
this summary tells of my hearing before the Ontario
Cancer Control Board in 1938. ( the original
transcripts are the property of the company which produces
the only true complete original ESSIAC
