Re: pain - arthritis or femera side effect?
Hi Jackie Thanks for responding re Essiac. That article was very good and says just about everything I have read about it. Flor essence is the essiac to not take because it has something in it like estrogen so I do not take that I only take the original four ingredients. I figure I will just drink one ounce a day, like the article says it can just be a psychological boost. One of my neighbours had very aggressive breast cancer 15 years ago and she drank the essiac every day. She had offered to make some up for me then but I told her I could not take anything while on chemo or other meds as I was worried of any possible interaction. I did pass my plan for drinking this tea past a pharmacist at the hospital and she said it was okay just not to use the Flor essence. Take care.
