We can't find ulmus rubra ( slippery elm) in turkey. Do you know what else can I use instead of this bark?

Mullein leaf or Marshmallow root would be the best subs for S.E.

Hi Joy,
While reading your post I was immediately taken by your comment stating we should never use a tincture form of Essiac. I have been taking Essiac Extract for a couple of months now and just recently got to wondering about the potency of this type because my cancerous tumor does not seem to be shrinking....rather it seems to be spreading and getting more painful. So I've been trying to find some info on this type of Essiac but without any luck and wondering if you could perhaps explain a bit more about the negative side of it.
Thanks so much for your input.

My mother had lung cancer back in 1995. She was given Essiac tea from Canada as a cure for her cancer. It was only avialble from Canada back then. She prepared it as the direction requestions, where everything had to be sterile. She drank it as the directions told. She was also under a doctors care being trated with chemo, blood transfusions. She did not tell her doctor that she was consuming this tea. I remember sitting with her at one appointment when her doctor said the tumor was shrinking and how amazed he was. We looked at each other and just smiled. We knew it was the tea and not the chemo or tranfusions that was shrinking the tumor. One warning was given to her back then, which to this day I don't understand. If you stop drinking it, the cancer will come back even more fast and furious. She stopped drinking the tea because she thought her life insurance for her kids would be less if she lived any longer. Her cancer progreesed quicker and entered her brain until she passed in the hospital Monday morning Columbus Day. I believe it did help shrink the tumor and would have kept her alive for a normal life span, but think she needed to wean off the tea rather stop it so abrubtly.

Natural Heritage Enterprises www.remedies.net sells the Essiac formula as chopped herbs in a packet with brewing instructions. To me, they are the best!

Also seems the herbs are sold under other names such as 4 herb formula or sheep sorrel as sold by this website [commercial website deleted] I have found with some good info also.
