Some of us have used Essiac- we did here for several years 1996-1999
BUT in our older fererts already prone to insulinoma / pancreatic problems
Essiac has a tendency to lower BG--- that is not something we felt was a
good trade. Unfortunately with all of our allopathic work at Ferret Wise
we have found little which was able to suppress or reverse lymphoma.
We found that pred and supportive care were the best options even over
chemo protocols.
