Sets the record straight on what really happened when the story of Essiac and Rene Caisse was still unfolding. These books represent the most objective, unbiased account of Essiac available. Mali Klein has written these books so all can learn about this herbal decoction that has been around for at least 130 years and its value to this time and in the future, for our well-being.

There are many different versions of 8-herb Essiac being sold today, but none of the 8-herb formulas being sold contain the correct eight herbs. They generally have six of them right. However, Rene Caisse is not known to have ever used blessed thistle or kelp in Essiac. Archival evidence suggests that the original 8 herbs were: Burdock (Arctium Lappa), Sheep sorrel (Rumex acetosella), Slippery elm (Ulmus Rubra), Turkey rhubarb (Rheum palmatum), Red clover (Trifolium pratense), Watercress (Rorippa nasturtium aquaticum), Periwinkle (Vinca major/minor), and Goldthread (Coptis trifolia).Nurse Caisse did work with other herbs besides the four in the classic Essiac formula, including some of the original 8 herbs. She patented a kidney remedy, and made a salve for radiation burns, and those formulae are included in The Complete Essiac Essentials book (Sheila Snow/Mali Klein, 2010, Softcover, 135 pages). The classic four-herb formula was made public 16 years after Rene Caisse's death when her long-time friend and helper Mary McPherson filed an affidavit with the Bracebridge Ontario Town Clerk. The Snow/Klein collaboration. We hang our hat on the work of Sheila Snow and Mali Klein, who have collectively written eight books on Rene Caisse and Essiac. In addition to the three most recent ones mentioned above, are The Complete Essiac Essentials (Snow/Klein, March 2011, Softcover, 181 pages), The Essiac Book (Klein, 2006, Softcover, 128 pages), Essiac the Secrets of Rene Caisse's Herbal Pharmacy (Snow/Klein, 2001, Softcover, 180 pages), Essiac Essentials (Snow/Klein, 1999, Softcover, 135 pages), and The Essence of Essiac (Snow, 1993, Softcover, 136 ;pages). These books represent the gold standard in Essiac reference books, and stand alone in their class. The straight story, from the ultimate source - Rene Caisse's closest friends and helpers. The work
