doctors in traditional medicine are going to tell you only what they know to be true, which is what they were taught. they were taught about the big chemo drugs from the big pharmeuceutical companies, who by the way, have absolutely NO incentive to get people to take cheaper, easier herbal medications. i personally have been on essiac for several years now. the first year i had treatment, i didn't take anything except chemo. the next three years i have been on both traditional chemo and herbal medications, mainly essiac. Essiac might not cure cancer, but it sure does a lot to take away the horrible toxic way chemo leaves you feeling. there has been periods of time were i went off of essiac, and everytime, i can feel the difference. not immediately, but after a couple weeks, i can really start to feel worse. i do agree, you cannot overload your body with too much of anything, or you will feel the results. i would worry more about the toxic side effects of chemo, than i would the so-called toxic effects of herbs.
