What you NEED to know
Hi there everyone.
Due to high number of requests I get from followers and friends with regards to the fining system, what is legal and what isn’t, I decided to do an actual blog about it. This is going to be really long and possibly even drawn out, but the idea is to get the point across, so everyone knows where they stand, what their rights are and just how Director Gerrie Gerneke and his cronies are running the JMPD show illegally despite numerous cases being brought to light by the JPSA (Justice Project of South Africa)
The Joburg Metro Police Department has issued, and continues to issue, millions of invalid traffic fines. Director Gerrie Gerneke’s attitude is they must still be paid to avoid motorists being “inconvenienced at roadblocks”. This is a euphemism for “illegally arrested and jailed”.
The cause of the trouble is the fact that in section 30 of the AARTO Amendment Act, it states that all camera infringement notices (AARTO 03) must be served on the infringer by registered post. Since one doesn’t collect a registered item from the Post Office by accident, the use of registered post to deliver camera fines is an elegant way of making sure people don’t weasel out of fines by claiming they didn’t get them, made more elegant still by the proviso that proceedings may continue against you if you don’t collect the registered item within ten days.
However, it also means that if a fine arrives directly in your post box, it’s automatically invalid. If any further AARTO processes are subsequently taken against you in respect of that fine, like attachment of assets, they are illegal. You also cannot be arrested at a roadblock for not paying the fine. The only times you can be arrested for a traffic violation are when you commit a serious traffic offence and are directly apprehended by an officer at the scene of your folly, or when you have been summonsed under the Criminal Procedure Act to appear in court to answer a charge arising from an traffic violation and you fail to appear, resulting in a warrant for your arrest being issued against you.
You cannot, under any circumstances, be arrested for failing to pay a fine stemming from an AARTO infringement, valid or otherwise. The worst that can happen is that the sheriff may attach your assets to the value of the outstanding fine plus costs and that won’t happen if the fine was invalid to begin with. But do not for one moment think that you may simply ignore these invalid infringement notices. You must deal with them and I suggest that you visit www.aarto.co.za/ssm.asp to see how you should deal with them.
Do not be fooled by Gerneke’s claims that JMPD is applying to have the law changed to legalise the department’s issuing of AARTO notices by standard surface mail – no such step has been taken and no such proposed amendment has been issued by the Department of Transport for comment. Section 30 of the AARTO Act stands as it is written and the JMPD (and the RTMC’s AARTO unit) are committing an offence every time they send out a notice by standard surface mail. In fact, the latest proposed amendments published in Government Gazette 34208 on 17 April 2011 for public comment actually further strengthens the requirement for registered mail to be used instead of abolishing it like Gerneke has hoped will happen.
So when Gerneke says that motorists may be “inconvenienced at roadblocks” (ie. arrested) for not paying an AARTO infringement notice that was illegally issued, he is manufacturing law as it suits him, a privilege which not even Parliament or the President enjoys! You cannot be arrested at a roadblock except when a warrant for your arrest exists or you have committed an arrestable offence at the roadblock itself. Any other arrest is illegal and if it happens to you, you should sue. Indeed, a month or two ago, Judge Billy Mothle of the North Gauteng High Court awarded R50 000 in damages to the victim of an unlawful arrest and issued a harsh rebuke against the police for the skyrocketing number of unlawful arrests. He emphasised that people should only be arrested and detained for just cause.
Getting right back to the point though, since when were roadblocks supposed to be ‘convenient’ anyway? Their function is to catch criminals, not provide roadside entertainment. According to the latest NIMMS stats, almost 59% of drivers killed in traffic crashes are under the influence of alcohol. I find it personally very inconvenient that I have to share the roads with such people and it annoys me that the JMPD is so concerned with people paying its illegal fines, yet so indifferent towards drunk drivers. Research the JMPD arrest rates for drunk driving some time – they are abysmal. When you research the conviction rates, you will absolutely fall on your proverbial backside as these are incredibly low – countrywide.
I can’t imagine that a law-abiding driver would have a problem with the convenience or otherwise of a roadblock should it be there to check on the roadworthiness of cars and drivers. Why should they have anything to fear if their car is roadworthy, they are properly licensed and they drive in accordance with the law? If their sole purpose was to catch the criminals and drunk drivers, and NOT an attempt to extort bribes from fellow road users, then I’d fully support them, but when ‘inconvenience’ is a euphemism for ‘illegal arrest’ and the roadblock is actually a revenue collection operation masquerading as road safety, I feel then that I am having my time wasted for no good reason and I’m being inconvenienced in the extreme.
The JMPD’s disregard for the law is based on an admittedly good understanding of human psychology: most people, when they receive a fine, will automatically assume that justice is being served in a fair and even-handed, equitable way. The thought doesn’t enter their minds that the enforcers could be the real criminals, and in most cases citizens don’t have the knowledge to tell a legal fine from an illegal one. The JMPD (and also the RTMC’s AARTO unit for a short while) are operating in flagrant violation of the law by issuing infringement notices in contravention of Section 30, and they demonstrate their contempt by knowingly continuing to issue them nearly a year after the fact was first reported in the media.
http://pigspottersworld.blogspot.com/2011/04/what-you-need-to-know.html?spref=tw
More to the point, even if the JMPD claims that the notices are just a courtesy prior to the actual issue of an AARTO infringement notice and there is no breach of Section 30, the courts have held over and over that if something looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it IS a duck. If you hold up a bank with a realistic-looking toy gun, you’re going to go to jail for as long as if it was a real one. If the ‘courtesy notices’ are so realistic that they are indistinguishable from the real thing – and if the JMPD accepts payment of fines based on them – then I can’t see how they are not in breach of section 30 of the Act.
The average consumer wouldn’t reasonably be expected to know the difference between a real infringement notice and one of the JMPD’s straight-to-your-post box notices, and the fact is that the two are identical. I would love to see the JMPD try and present the ‘courtesy notice’ argument before a judge...
I therefore advise everyone who has received an infringement notice by standard surface mail to urgently read the webpage http://www.aarto.co.za/ssm.asp and pass it around to all who may be affected - you may be entitled to have your fine refunded to you if the notice on which it was based was invalid. South Africa’s drivers need to take a stand against officials who don’t see the irony in enforcing the law by breaking it. The chairman of the JPSA is Mr Howard Dembovsky, who can be contacted via email at howard@jp-sa.org or on 082-418-6210.
However, do not think for one second that we are encouraging you to speed or try get your fines “squashed”, we are attempting to force the JMPD to follow the laws as stipulated and in accordance with section 30 of the AARTO Act and the regulations that are attached to that Act.
Best Regards,
Stay safe and be vigilant

Rhino Poaching In South Africa
Rhino farm 'a slaughterhouse'
2010-09-26 09:25
Herman Scholtz, Rapport
Johannesburg – Farm workers in the Musina area call the farm Prachtig the "animal slaughterhouse". This farm is a central part of the State's controversial case against an alleged rhino poaching syndicate.
Several people – among them two veterinarians - appeared on Tuesday in a court in Musina.
http://s280.photobucket.com/home/Chrisbee2/recentuploads?view=slideshow
Investigating officers visited Prachtig over the past few days, apparently to search for rhino "graves".
Part of the accused's bail conditions was that they were not allowed to tamper with the 32 rhino on the farm or interfere with the investigation.
Some of the rhino come from the Kruger National Park and police were apparently looking for carcasses of animals who were allegedly killed for their horns.
An expert told Rapport that the horrible truth was that a dead rhino was more valuable than a live one.
Rhino horn costs between $20 000 (R140 000) per kilo and a rhino bull's horn weighs about 5kg.
A live rhino was valued at between R130 000 and R300 000 in South Africa.
Butchery
Most of the rhino mentioned in the case were apparently poached on the farm.
An informed source said Dawie Groenewald, owner of Prachtig, where his safari company Out of Africa held hunting expeditions, boasted at one stage that he had 80 rhino on his farm.
Some of these rhino had their horns cut off.
When reporters visited the farm on Friday, the huge Out of Africa sign had been removed. Farm workers didn't know where the "Out of Africa" farm was, but were quick to give directions to the place they called the "animal butchery".
A Sanparks spokesperson confirmed that Groenewald had bought between 20 and 30 rhino from the Kruger park.
Dr Karel Toet, a vet who was also arrested, acted as a go-between and also bought rhino for Groenewald at the game reserve.
The spokesperson said they stopped selling game to Groenewald when they were informed he was earlier this year found guilty in an American court of exporting an illegally hunted leopard.
Groenewald is a notorious roleplayer in the hunting industry. He was a police official years ago in the vehicle theft unit in Polokwane but was arrested for car theft. His brother was found guilty but he was acquitted.
Julian Rademeyer reported that Groenewald had been suspended from the professional hunting association four years ago and was banned from hunting in Zimbabwe.

Save The Rhino
It goes something like this…you are fumbling with the dosage of tranquilizer you are trying to load into a dart, but know you don’t need to be careful.
Err on the heavy side–tranquilizer is expensive, but soon you will have plenty of money, and better too much of the drug than too little.
Waking up is not part of the plan, so there is no such thing as an overdose…or there is such a thing, it’s just not a worry of yours. More worrisome is getting this loaded and into the high powered rifle, in the dark with only your headlamp, and the helicopter banking, throwing you off balance. It is a short helicopter ride...
you were just here this afternoon, spotting the animals grazing at a few remote clumps of grass in an open plain, just a few trees around and lots of scrub, but it is July, high winter, so most of the grasses have died back. Besides, the elephants have taken down so many of the tall trees it makes tracking much easier.
The pilot signals you are nearing the area where you saw her earlier today, and the spotters who are helping you take only a few seconds more to find her now, almost exactly where she was.
Her calf is only a couple of yards away from her side, and both are spooked now from the rotor blades in your copter. They try to run a bit, but of course their lumbering gate is like slow motion, and the baby can only go a few steps at a time.
You take aim, and it is like shooting fish in a barrel. The dart lands clean in her side, just below the shoulder. You know it’s a good shot, so the pilot pulls back a bit and finds a spot to land a few hundred feet away.
By the time the 'copter is down, so is the rhino.
It takes less than seven minutes for her to fall into unconsciousness. It is not graceful. She stumbles against the lethal dose of drugs you’ve pumped into her, struggling to try and protect her calf.
She is a beauty. You and the men who help are out of the aircraft, and as you approach the gray, panting heap, one watches your back for other animals and potential threats…and especially for headlights or other signs of game rangers or police…and the other pulls the ripcord to start the chainsaw rumbling to life.
The 'copter blades haven’t even slowed–this won’t take long.
She has fallen on her left side, her eyes still open. You take the growling saw and step in, bending down to take your quarry. Her horn is made of keratin, really just stiffened hair, so the chain blade cuts through it with no effort at all. You take it as close to her face as possible–the horn will fetch a great price sold to those who supply the demand for Chinese medicine–rhinoceros horn is in incredible demand for impotent men. You thought Viagra was going to gut the market, but no, rhino horn still pays handsomely. The horn falls into the dust and you flip off the saw, one of the helpers grabs the horn and drops it into a canvas bag where a stain of blood begins to spread, but not as quickly as the blood in the sand. Another wrenches the dart from the side of the immobile animal as her breath is slowing–darts cost too. You turn back to the chopper, surveying the night in the bush, making sure no authorities are headed your way, so you move quickly but not in a panic–you’ve had close calls before and are relieved tonight there is no threat. Not even a sign of the baby rhino…it must be hiding behind that brush heap, or have run into the dark. Back up in the air and you are headed toward the house where you’ll stay the night before heading to the airport in the morning, and you flip open your sattelite phone to call the client. “It’s done.”
It went something like that. The last female white rhino in a South African park was slaughtered by poachers last week, for her horn. Her horn was cut from her face by a chainsaw and she was left to bleed to death. Her orphaned baby was found the next day and transferred to a nearby estate where it joined two other orphaned rhino calves. It is only mid-July and 136 endangered rhinos have been killed this year by poachers, for their single horns. Horns that Chinese men (and other consumers of Chinese medicine) think will help them with a lack of virility. Maybe this horn is for a fancy knife handle in Yemen and won’t be powdered into “medicine.”
This last rhino cow was nine years old and a new mother.
The Guardian UK reports: “The committee of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (C.I.T.E.S.) warned last year that rhino poaching had reached an all-time high. The CITES conference in Geneva in July 2009 heard that Asia’s economic expansion had fueled the market in rhino horns. The horns are also used in the Middle East to make handles for ornamental daggers. Cites said demand for them had begun to soar in recent years. In the five years up to 2005, an average of only 36 rhinos had been killed each year.”
Whatever makes you passionate or pissed, take some action. Today.

Farms Of fear In "Democratic" South Africa
It’s not the Somme, it’s South Africa — and a memorial to nearly 2,000 white farmers murdered in the last 10 years. The motive? Not theft, nor land grab, as in Zimbabwe — but revenge, fuelled by racism and envy. And as the killing goes on, the police do nothing...read further

Are you one of the 350 million Facebook users? I’m a big fan of Facebook and like many I connect daily to see what my friends are doing and to share photos. I am very careful about what I post and what information I allow to be shared. It surprises me how many of my friends will refuse to allow companies to share their information but eagerly give away their personal information.
I quote from the posting:
”Who are these application developers you’re giving your personal information too. One of the most popular developers is San Francisco RollerCoaster Kingdom
I’m not saying the folks at Zynga are evil or have bad intent but I doubt most users realize they’re providing information to this or other little known companies. Most people mistakenly believe it’s just all part of the Facebook experience.”

Essiac Testimonials
Essiac tea testimonial #1:
Two years ago I developed what first appeared to be a wart on my nose. It grew bigger and uglier over then next month. A dermatologist diagnosed it as first stage cancer. She wanted to cut a piece of my nose off. I decided to look into other possibilities.
I took essiac and after several weeks (just as I was beginning to think it didn't work) the "wart" started to appear dry and crusty. Two days later it simply fell off, no scar, no reoccurrence ...nothing. I also found that the brain tumor surgery-related tinnitus (ringing in the ear) that I'd had for over a dozen years had also disappeared. That seemed to back up many of the anecdotal reports I'd read and heard. So I started my mother on it.
Her doctor had told her that her age-related tinnitus was untreatable and that she'd soon go deaf. Several days after drinking essiac tea she called to let me know her tinnitus had completely disappeared, it hasn't returned since (a year later).
I'm NOT selling this stuff, and I don't think anything is a magic bullet for everyone, but just about any protocol for cancer I've read that embraces "alternative" solutions usually includes essiac tea (unless it's contraindicated with specific treatments like Cantron/Cancell).
There's an excellent book on essiac called The Essiac Report by Richard Thomas (published by the Alternative Treatment Network, Los Angeles, CA (1993). It backs up what I'd read in other sources that JFK's physician had publicly announced that essiac cured his colon cancer in the early 60s.—B. A.
*****
Essiac tea testimonial #2:
I was hospitalized last year for Lymphoma. I was so ill chances of survival were slim. The doctors had to remove my spleen, for they could not save it from the disease.
I heard about essiac tea. I had nothing to lose at this point. I had a friend bring it in to the Hospital where I was at. The remarkable difference the tea made, made me a true believer in it.
It has been 6 months since I first took my first drink from it and to this day I am still drinking it daily. I have not missed a day. Now 6 months have passed and the Doctors say they got 99% of the disease. There is still 1% left, but from the day I was diagnosed, I could not be any happier. They say it is incurable, but If I can get it in remission that is good enough for me.
Thank you essiac tea and to all my friends that stood by me in the hospital and are still with me today fighting this disease…. This is not an easy disease to swallow but stick in there. There is hope.
Thank you for the time to have let me share my feelings. Thank you essiac tea.—Doris, Washington State

Essiac tea testimonial #3:
After being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s in 1998, my husband was told there was very little hope of his cancer going into remission let alone a cure. After six months the lumps came back after the 1st round, then another 6 months of the strongest he could get…
He has been drinking the tea now and has had no lumps return, blood tests and x-rays reveal nothing returning-- it is worth a shot!—Terri, USA
*****
Essiac tea testimonial #4:
My dad (age 74) and father in law (age 75) are both drinking this tea for prostate cancer and heart problems, both were amazed at the immediate difference in how they felt. Both have more energy and feel 100 % better while drinking this tea.
This tea will clean the toxins from your body and as my father in law says, you will feel 20 years younger. If you love someone who is in bad health, buy it for them. It is not just for cancer, but has been proven to help many ailments.--Darlene, TN
*****
Essiac tea testimonial #5:
I've owned a health food store since I was 19 and do know many things about chemo and its side effects. There is a herbal based formula called essiac used to treat cancer and I've had hundreds of clients use it for treating cancer both with other medical treatments such as chemo and radiation and also without. Those that use the product while undergoing chemo have reported a drastic drop in side effects, such as nausea, vomiting and most important for some people (mostly women) the hair loss. -Dedrah

Breast Cancer Testimonial (#6):
There came a quick rapping at my door. It was the postman delivering a certified letter. With my hand shaking and my heart beating a mile a minute, I reached for the letter. My eyes riveted on the return address for a clue as to where it came from, I recognized the name of the surgeon's office where I had recently gone to get my breasts examined.
At the time of the examination, the doctor had suggested that I set a date for surgery before leaving the office. I had done that. But, having second thoughts, I had phoned and canceled the appointment.
I ripped open the letter and read: "I am certain that you understood when I explained my concern to you. The radiologist in my office stated that there is a large mass in the left breast which is different from the other tissue. It is recommended that the mass be excised."
The letter went on to say that I needed to phone and reschedule an appointment for surgery. It was signed by the doctor. I was petrified, but for some inexplicable reason I was in no hurry to have surgery.
For several months, I had been feeling a fullness in my right breast, and both breasts were sore to the touch. When I had gone for my regular mammogram, the technician told me I wouldn't be getting the results until the end of the week, in spite of the fact that the radiologist read the x-rays in the morning. I knew I was going to be on edge every time the phone rang.
I went for my annual gynecological check up. The doctor said my right breast should be checked by a surgeon. It felt denser than it had the previous year. I was given the names of several surgeons whom I might call.
My husband drove me about fifty miles from our home to see a doctor I had chosen from the list. The doctor and an assistant examined me. The examination was painful due to the pressure they put on my breasts. They were trying to see if any fluid would come out. It didn't.
My complaint had actually begun with the right breast, but the in-house radiologist studied the mammograms I had brought with me and decided that it was actually the left breast that was showing a change. The doctor described what I had as a large mass, and he recommended that I have a lumpectomy per-formed on my left breast. I was smiling and joking while the doctor explained it to me. The doctor, however, did not smile. That led me to conclude this was serious business.
At first, I felt happy about the idea of getting rid of a big lump. Then the doctor mentioned that scar tissue would probably form where the lump was excised, and that the removal would not prevent another lump from growing in the same place. I thought to myself, "Surgery seems to be a no-win situation."
I was told I needed to cut out caffeine, take vitamin E, and start taking oil of primrose on a daily basis. I could buy what I needed at a health food store. It was also suggested I discontinue hormone replacement therapy.
I was alarmed when the doctor suggested that I might have to be placed on a male hormone to get rid of the pain. The last thing I wanted for myself was to look masculine. I pictured hair growing on my face. I thought to myself that I would rather be dead than turn into a freak.
The next day, my husband drove me to a nearby health food store to buy the vitamin E and other items I needed. We ran into a woman who had helped him with some health problems he had once had. She told us about essiac tea. She said many people had come into the store asking for it, and that they had had wonderful results. She was so enthusiastic about it that I thought to myself, "I can try it, and go under the knife later, if I decide to.
Early the next morning, I started on the program of drinking essiac tea. It was to be consumed on an empty stomach once in the morning and again before I went to sleep. The tea had been used in Canada to cure cancer. I didn't know for sure that I had cancer, but the doctor had described what I had as a large mass. Essiac tea had been used by a Canadian nurse, Rene Caisse, to successfully treat thousands of cancer patients from 1920 until her death in 1978. The treatment brought remissions to hundreds of documented cases, and the tea came within three' votes of being legalized by the Canadian parliament in 1938. The tea had the support of many prominent physicians, including a well-known doctor in the United States by the name of Dr. Charles Brusch. He is known for the prestigious Brusch Medical Center and for treating President Kennedy. He claimed a personal cure for cancer in his lower abdomen using the tea.
The main ingredients of essiac tea are burdock root, turkey rhubarb root, sheep sorrel, and slippery elm bark. In 1966, two Hungarian scientists reported "considerable anti-tumor activity with the burdock root. In 1984, Japanese scientists discovered the mixture to be capable of reducing cell mutation. The Japanese named the new property they found in burdock root "the B-factor," for burdock factor. Essiac tea apparently breaks down modular masses to more normal tissue, while greatly alleviating pain.
Rene Caisse claimed that the tea reduced tumor growth and that the other herbs acted as blood purifiers, carrying destroyed tissue as well as infections thrown off by the malignancy out of the body. It was observed that the tea also strengthened the body's defense mechanisms, enabling normal cells to destroy abnormal ones as nature intended. If a tumor did not disappear, at least it could be regressed, then surgically removed after six to eight essiac treatments.
Yes, I believed I would take a chance on the tea, and go under the knife later, if I decided to.
The next morning, I awakened when it was still dark outside and I ingested the tea on an empty stomach. After breakfast, I took vitamin E, oil of primrose, and some multiple vitamins. During the day, I took vitamin C. There are orange groves near where we live, and my husband began making fresh orange juice every morning. At night, before I went to sleep, I ingested essiac tea on an empty stomach. This regimen went on for six weeks.
During the treatment, a feeling of confidence came over me. I realized that I was no longer afraid about my breast. I put off calling the surgeon's office to reschedule the surgery. I had peace about doing this.
After taking the tea for six weeks, I noticed a remarkable improvement in my breasts. The pain I had experienced had disappeared one week after I had begun taking the tea. I also noticed the breast tissue seemed softer and more supple. This was more the way breast tissue is supposed to feel. Before taking the tea, my breast had felt dense, lumpy, and hard. I hadn't been able to lie on my stomach because of the pain. After the treatment, I definitely noticed an improvement.
There was only one side effect with the tea: a constant itchy feeling on my arms and other parts of my body. I stopped taking the tea for two weeks, then took it again for six weeks. I again stopped for two weeks and then did another six weeks. I had peace about my breasts. I went on with my life and forgot about it until it was time once again for my annual mammogram.
The week after the mammogram, an envelope came in the mail. I opened the envelope and read: "We have reviewed the radiologist's report of your recent mammogram. There is no evidence of malignancy, and although this does not guarantee that there is no cancer, it is reassuring."
My heart leapt with joy, but I still wanted to make sure. I got on the phone and requested the radiologist's report. When it came, I read the words: "No definite dominant mass or speculated density is identified." This was evidence that my breast tissue had improved since my last mammogram.
I had good reason to rejoice.—K.Haynes

Essiac Tea Testimonial #7:
I have a testimony to tell as a result of using your essiac tea. My girlfriend in Georgia informed me of this tea after I told her I was diagnosed with thynoma. I got on the tea before it was time for chemo, and was on the tea for 8 weeks and had 2 rounds of chemo. My immune system never dropped, never lost my appetite, no nausea or vomiting and today I got my CAT scan results back. The doctor was astounded at the results. He said this was miraculous, and this made his Christmas. I said not just my Christmas, this made his year, not knowing I was taking the tea., I just didn't let him know. Feel free to call me on my cell, 786-315-6989.--Jeanette Young

Taking the tea may extend your life.
Taking the tea should give quality of life even if it does not offer full recovery.
Taking the tea might help you fully and permanently recover.
Whatever level you go to, it will usually be a vast improvement on the other options and mean you will probably not need hospitalization at any stage. --Darren Dixon

ONE FAMILY'S FIGHT AGAINST CANCER
by Aaron K. Wynn-Hinman
In 1994, my mother, Audrey, was diagnosed with systemic (metastasized) cancer. Metastasis is "the transfer of disease or malignancy from one part of the body to another through the blood stream." Simply put, cancer cells were floating freely in her blood, able to attach and multiply anywhere in her body. She had over a dozen tumors, at least five of which were malignant. Some were even palpable beneath her skin. By far the worst of them was in her ileum, part of the lower intestine. As a result of this tumor, she bled on an almost constant basis from the inside. She had a prognosis of 2-6 months.
About three and a half weeks after my mother had begun using essiac, she and Michael went back to see Steve, the herbalist, about buying more herbs. Steve quizzed them about any effects that the tea had had. In three weeks of treatment, my mother had ceased passing blood entirely. The lumps under her skin were becoming noticeably smaller, and she had more energy.
She maintained her dosage for five months. The next time that she went to a doctor's office to get a panel of tests run was about seven months after beginning treatment with essiac. No trace of cancer was found, and in four tests done over the last year and a half, it has remained thus.
Send us your essiac tea testimonials! We love to read them.
Two years ago I developed what first appeared to be a wart on my nose. It grew bigger and uglier over then next month. A dermatologist diagnosed it as first stage cancer. She wanted to cut a piece of my nose off. I decided to look into other possibilities.
I took essiac and after several weeks (just as I was beginning to think it didn't work) the "wart" started to appear dry and crusty. Two days later it simply fell off, no scar, no reoccurrence ...nothing. I also found that the brain tumor surgery-related tinnitus (ringing in the ear) that I'd had for over a dozen years had also disappeared. That seemed to back up many of the anecdotal reports I'd read and heard. So I started my mother on it.
Her doctor had told her that her age-related tinnitus was untreatable and that she'd soon go deaf. Several days after drinking essiac tea she called to let me know her tinnitus had completely disappeared, it hasn't returned since (a year later).
I'm NOT selling this stuff, and I don't think anything is a magic bullet for everyone, but just about any protocol for cancer I've read that embraces "alternative" solutions usually includes essiac tea (unless it's contraindicated with specific treatments like Cantron/Cancell).
There's an excellent book on essiac called The Essiac Report by Richard Thomas (published by the Alternative Treatment Network, Los Angeles, CA (1993). It backs up what I'd read in other sources that JFK's physician had publicly announced that essiac cured his colon cancer in the early 60s.—B. A.

Essiac tea testimonial #2:
I was hospitalized last year for Lymphoma. I was so ill chances of survival were slim. The doctors had to remove my spleen, for they could not save it from the disease.
I heard about essiac tea. I had nothing to lose at this point. I had a friend bring it in to the Hospital where I was at. The remarkable difference the tea made, made me a true believer in it.
It has been 6 months since I first took my first drink from it and to this day I am still drinking it daily. I have not missed a day. Now 6 months have passed and the Doctors say they got 99% of the disease. There is still 1% left, but from the day I was diagnosed, I could not be any happier. They say it is incurable, but If I can get it in remission that is good enough for me.
Thank you essiac tea and to all my friends that stood by me in the hospital and are still with me today fighting this disease…. This is not an easy disease to swallow but stick in there. There is hope.
Thank you for the time to have let me share my feelings. Thank you essiac tea.—Doris, Washington State

Essiac tea testimonial #3:
After being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s in 1998, my husband was told there was very little hope of his cancer going into remission let alone a cure. After six months the lumps came back after the 1st round, then another 6 months of the strongest he could get…
He has been drinking the tea now and has had no lumps return, blood tests and x-rays reveal nothing returning-- it is worth a shot!—Terri, USA

Essiac tea testimonial #5:
I've owned a health food store since I was 19 and do know many things about chemo and its side effects. There is a herbal based formula called essiac used to treat cancer and I've had hundreds of clients use it for treating cancer both with other medical treatments such as chemo and radiation and also without. Those that use the product while undergoing chemo have reported a drastic drop in side effects, such as nausea, vomiting and most important for some people (mostly women) the hair loss. -Dedrah

Breast Cancer Testimonial (#6):
There came a quick rapping at my door. It was the postman delivering a certified letter. With my hand shaking and my heart beating a mile a minute, I reached for the letter. My eyes riveted on the return address for a clue as to where it came from, I recognized the name of the surgeon's office where I had recently gone to get my breasts examined.
At the time of the examination, the doctor had suggested that I set a date for surgery before leaving the office. I had done that. But, having second thoughts, I had phoned and canceled the appointment.
I ripped open the letter and read: "I am certain that you understood when I explained my concern to you. The radiologist in my office stated that there is a large mass in the left breast which is different from the other tissue. It is recommended that the mass be excised."
The letter went on to say that I needed to phone and reschedule an appointment for surgery. It was signed by the doctor. I was petrified, but for some inexplicable reason I was in no hurry to have surgery.
For several months, I had been feeling a fullness in my right breast, and both breasts were sore to the touch. When I had gone for my regular mammogram, the technician told me I wouldn't be getting the results until the end of the week, in spite of the fact that the radiologist read the x-rays in the morning. I knew I was going to be on edge every time the phone rang.
I went for my annual gynecological check up. The doctor said my right breast should be checked by a surgeon. It felt denser than it had the previous year. I was given the names of several surgeons whom I might call.
My husband drove me about fifty miles from our home to see a doctor I had chosen from the list. The doctor and an assistant examined me. The examination was painful due to the pressure they put on my breasts. They were trying to see if any fluid would come out. It didn't.
My complaint had actually begun with the right breast, but the in-house radiologist studied the mammograms I had brought with me and decided that it was actually the left breast that was showing a change. The doctor described what I had as a large mass, and he recommended that I have a lumpectomy per-formed on my left breast. I was smiling and joking while the doctor explained it to me. The doctor, however, did not smile. That led me to conclude this was serious business.
At first, I felt happy about the idea of getting rid of a big lump. Then the doctor mentioned that scar tissue would probably form where the lump was excised, and that the removal would not prevent another lump from growing in the same place. I thought to myself, "Surgery seems to be a no-win situation."
I was told I needed to cut out caffeine, take vitamin E, and start taking oil of primrose on a daily basis. I could buy what I needed at a health food store. It was also suggested I discontinue hormone replacement therapy.
I was alarmed when the doctor suggested that I might have to be placed on a male hormone to get rid of the pain. The last thing I wanted for myself was to look masculine. I pictured hair growing on my face. I thought to myself that I would rather be dead than turn into a freak.
The next day, my husband drove me to a nearby health food store to buy the vitamin E and other items I needed. We ran into a woman who had helped him with some health problems he had once had. She told us about essiac tea. She said many people had come into the store asking for it, and that they had had wonderful results. She was so enthusiastic about it that I thought to myself, "I can try it, and go under the knife later, if I decide to.
Early the next morning, I started on the program of drinking essiac tea. It was to be consumed on an empty stomach once in the morning and again before I went to sleep.

The Background Of Essiac
Essiac Tea is a Cancer Cure Big Pharma Does Not Want You to Know About
(NaturalNews) A simple inexpensive four herb tea that cures cancer? Even AIDS maybe? This has been a critical concern since Essiac tea was introduced in Canada village of Bracebridge , north of Toronto
At first, she accepted whatever anyone could easily afford, even eggs and produce, for her services. She turned no one down. After 1937, she charged no fees! She didn't make money off the tea though she successfully treated many hundreds. Her rewards were harassment by the Canadian Health Ministry, and betrayal by a private corporation she had hoped would help make Essiac tea a legal cancer cure.
Though the name of the tea, Essiac, was derived from spelling Rene's surname Caisse backwards, she was not the original formulator. The ingredients and recipe came originally from an Ojibway Native American medicine man in remote northern Canada
Essiac's Origin
Rene Caisse was an RN in a Canadian hospital in 1922 when she came upon an elderly patient who had survived breast cancer 30 years earlier. At that time, the woman was living in remote northern Canadian mining camp with her husband. She was admitted to a hospital for breast cancer and told her breasts would have to be removed.
She decided against surgery and went back to the mining camp. In the camp area, she had earlier come upon an Ojibway medicine man who claimed he could cure her cancer. Upon her return, he showed her which herbs to use, how to pick and culture them, and how to prepare the tea. She followed his instructions and within several months was completely cured. She lived in good health for another 30 years.
Since Rene had an aunt and step father with cancer at the time, she was interested in the herbs and how to prepare the tea. So that elderly woman conveyed the Ojbway medicine's ingredients and recipe to nurse Caisse, who in turn treated her cancer stricken family members. Regarding her stepfather: "It took some time, said Rene, but eventually he was cured."
From then, she continued with so much success that in 1933 the small town of Bracebridge
Of course, during that time and after, Rene Caisse was the center of controversy and harassment from Canadian authorities. She has stated that the only reason she was not imprisoned was because of popular support from Bracebridge's Town Council, several prestigious doctors, and of course her many cured patients. One of whom was cured of both cancer and diabetes.
The diabetes cure surprised even Rene! Due to this support, from 1937 on, Nurse Caisse was permitted to treat cancer under the strict conditions of 1) treating only terminally ill patients, 2) using an established medical doctor for prognosis and diagnosis, and 3) not accepting any fees for her services. She agreed to those terms and continued.
Regarding her over 50 years of harassment, Rene lamented, "I never dreamed of the opposition and the persecution that would be my lot in trying to help suffering humanity with no thought of personal gain."
Essiac Makes It's Way to the USA
Despite so many successfully treated cancer patients' testimonies, the general public was kept in the dark about Essiac Tea. Caisse made an effort to get the Essiac out into the public light in 1977, a year before her death. She made a deal with a company called Resperin, whom she thought had the clout to legalize her Essiac tea. But Caisse was told she was no longer needed after the agreement.
Resperin was actually in the pocket of the Canadian government and medical authorities. So that project vaporized, and the formula seemed destined to obscurity. Then along came a successful California
He eventually came upon someone in Detroit Gary Gary went to Canada
There Dr. Glum also confirmed the authenticity of the formula he had purchased, and uncovered enough information about Rene Caisse and her work to begin writing his book, Calling of an Angel. In that book, Dr. Glum told the story of Rene Caisse, and he told how and where to get the formula, which since has been disseminated all over the western world.
Gary Glum had to self publish the book because it was so threatening to the cancer industry, and there was the danger of slam dunk wrongful death lawsuits on publishers since Essiac was not FDA approved. So no one would risk publishing it. That book and his second, Full Disclosure, which reveals the true source of AIDS as man made and the depopulation agenda, put Glum in harm's way for some time.
He was harassed by US Marshals and almost completely financially ruined by bogus IRS claims, and a Naval Intelligence operative later threatened his life and the lives of his family if he continued publishing his two books. Only a few of Gary
Here's what Dr. Glum had to say about Essiac for AIDS in an interview circa 1990: "I also worked with the AIDS Project Los Angeles . . . . They had sent 179 patients home to die. They all had pneumocystis carinii and histoplasmosis. Their weight was down to about 100 pounds. Their T-4 cell counts were less than ten."
"The Project gave me five of these patients. I took them off the AZT and the DDI and put them on Essiac three times a day. Those are the only ones alive today. The other 174 are dead. But this information is not being disseminated either, because AIDS is on the horizon as another big moneymaker.
Dr. Glum also had success with a few cancer patients that came his way. For example, he was involved with treating one young boy with a virulent form of terminal leukemia. The boy recovered completely with Essiac Tea, only to die later from heart failure. The damage to his heart that caused the failure was traced to his earlier chemotherapy treatments!
While researching for his book, Gary Glum came across Dr. Charles A. Brusch, who was a personal physician for the late President John F. Kennedy. Dr. Brusch also ran a cancer clinic in Boston , MA
Of course, Dr. Charles Brusch chose to remain silent publicly. However, Dr. Glum, in his book Calling of an Angel, had this quote from Dr. Brusch, "The results we obtained with thousands of patients of various races, sexes and ages, with all types of cancer, definitely prove Essiac to be a cure for cancer. All studies done in four laboratories in the United States and one more in Canada
Immediately after Rene Caisse's death, authorities ransacked her home and burned Nurse Caisse's records. But her friend Mary McPherson had saved some, and a series of autobiographical articles by Nurse Caisse had become public record. The few privy to the treatment's ingredients and protocol kept a low profile to avoid harassment.
But thanks to Dr. Glum's investigative journalism, the secret is out, albeit among the scattered few.
Cancer
The most frequent reason for people to buy essiac is due to cancer. There are many case studies where people have felt that essiac has not only helped them with the side effects of treatments such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy, but has also helped them win the battle over cancer. We have ustomers who have come to the end of their treatments, with the cancer still growing. Since taking Essiac, their Cancers have gone into remission and in some recent scans some of our customers no longer have Cancer. We are the first to admit this could just be nature, however our customers feel it is down to the essiac.
Aids
All of the claims that Essiac can help people with HIV seem to have come from Dr. Gary Glum, a chiropractor. In 1988 he wrote "Calling of an Angel," a biography of Rene Caisse. Glum claims to have treated several AIDS patients with Essiac with good results. The following excerpt is taken from an interview with Dr. Gary Glum “I also worked with the AIDS Project Los Angeles through their Long Beach
Diabetes
Studies have indicated a beneficial link between essiac and diabetes. In clinic which used essiac they claim to have to warn patients who were on insulin that were taking essiac tea to monitor their blood sugar levels as sometimes the pancreas would kick back in and suddenly push their sugar levels the other way. Some of our customers have told us they have had to cut back their insulin levels as it was pushing their sugar levels the other way. They have told us that they have been able to live a much more normal life on essiac. An interesting fact is that Dr. Banting, a co-discover of insulin, also found a correlation between Essiac, insulin, and the pancreas and tried to buy the formula for essiac but due to his commercialism Rene Caisse wouldn't give it to him.
Skin Ailments
Increasingly customers are buying essiac in order to improve the quality of the skin. Customers are feeling that Essiac is helping with skin ailments such as Eczema and Psoriasis. People forget that many skin ailments are simply a by product of our diet, due to the feeling that Essiac builds the immune system this would explain why it seems to help with skin problems. For us is a relatively new area of our research and something we will be building upon as we get feedback from customers.
