"I have been reading about Essiac as a treatment for lymphoma recently.
Has anyone heard of Flor*Essence? I just stopped into my
health/vitamin store, and when I asked about Essiac, they showed me
this instead. It contains the same four herbs as Essiac, plus
watercress herb, kelp, blessed thistle herb, and red clover blossoms.
Would this be safe to give to a ferret?"

I used to sell Flor-Essence around '95-'97...wow things have changed
regarding it, that's for sure. It's still actually the same stuff. Dr.
Charles A. Brush, worked with Irene Cassie (spelled backwards is Essiac) and
supposedly that is where he got the recipe and gave the recipe to Irene
Alexander who, due to legalities called her "version" Flor*Essence. There's
enough controversy to fuel a bonfire. Anway...you can read more about that
here if you want: http://essiac-info.org/Brusch.html
I don't know much about the additional herbs and how they relate to
ferrets...just humans and dogs. :-)
