According to Snow and Klein, Rene Caisse used whole plant Sheep
sorrel (including the roots). The authors recommend that you
grow your own Sheep sorrel
because commercial growers traditionally harvest only leaf and
stem parts of the plant.
Sheila Snow and Mali Klein spent considerable time doing research in Bracebridge, Ontario, where the Rene Caisse Cancer Clinic was located, and they had access to Canadian archives of unpublished Rene Caisse documents. The result is authentic Rene Caisse material and information. Sheila Snow co-authored the remarkable 1977 Homemaker's Magazine article after interviewing Rene Caisse, in 1993 she wrote The Essence of Essiac and was a close friend of Mary McPherson and Dr. Brusch. Mali Klein founded The Clouds Trust charity to research essiac after her husband passed away from cancer in 1994. Now an acclaimed reseacher in her own right, Mali Klein continues to conduct her popular Essiac Workshops (independently of Clouds Trust) in the UK and Europe. | ||

The days of secrecy are over, thanks to this book by Sheila Snow
and Mali Klein.
Their research of Canadian archives and the authors' unique access to
Mary McPherson have resulted in a book that is
the biggest public information break-through since Gary Glum's 1988 book.
The book also dicusses and reveals the recipes and directions to
make other formulas Rene Caisse used or may have used alongside her basic
formula during her Bracebridge Cancer Clinic days.
The Canadian archives revealed unreleased information concerning the roles played by some of the more prominent figures involved with Rene and her Essiac, especially during the last years of her life. Based on interviews of Mary McPherson and substantial documented evidence, you will learn who knew the authentic Rene Caisse formula -- and who did not. Because the days of secrecy are past, Sheila and Mali press for honesty in labeling of the herbs and recipe used by commercial enterprises -- use of certified organic herbs, date stamp of manufacture (sheep sorrel is good for only 15 months) and complete details of content and proportion of herbs.
Don Dennis, who runs the "International Flower Essence Repertoire" at healingflowers.com. is a close friend of Mali Klein and is a prompt and better ordering source than the Dublin publisher. Don says that the books retail at £7.95 for Essiac Essentials and £8.99 for The Secrets, to send them by airmail to the USA costs £8 for the two books (Surface post £5).
