It all started almost by accident ...
The incredible but true story you are about to read begins in Canada in the Ontario region in the 1922.
René Caisse was a chief nurse in a hospital and among the sick in his ward he noticed a lady with a strangely deformed breast. Intrigued, he asked her what had happened. The lady told him that twenty years earlier a man of Indian medicine Ojibwa, having known her with breast cancer, had made her drink for a long time an herbal tea that had healed her. The Indian had defined this mixture of herbs and roots as "a blessed drink that purifies the body and brings it back into harmony with the Great Spirit".
René treasured the information and took note of the recipe. Two years later he had the chance to experience it on his aunt, a terminal patient of stomach and liver cancer. The aunt healed. René realized that he was facing a fantastic discovery and in collaboration with Dr. Fisher, the aunt's doctor who had witnessed the healing process, began using the drink on other terminal cancer patients. The successes were repeated.
In those times, it was thought to increase the effectiveness of a remedy if it was inoculated intramuscularly and so René began to inject the tea, but the side effects were too unpleasant. In the years to come, after laboratory studies conducted on mice, the injectable herb was identified and the others were made to drink in infusion.

The positive results continued. It must be emphasized that René never asked for a fee from her patients, accepting only their spontaneous offers. The rumor spread and eight other Ontario doctors began to send her patients judged hopeless. After the first results, the doctors wrote a petition to the Canadian Ministry of Health asking that care be taken seriously. The only result they obtained was the sending of two commissioners with the power of immediate arrest against René. The two, however, were impressed by the fact that nine of the best doctors in Toronto collaborated with the woman and invited René to experiment with mice on his medicine. She kept alive for 52 days mice inoculated with Rous's sarcoma.
Everything came back as before, René continued to administer the drink in a Toronto apartment. He later had to move to Peterborough, Ontario, where he was arrested by a policeman. Once again he was lucky because the policeman, after reading the letters that his patients had written in a sign of gratitude, decided that it was appropriate to talk about the thing to his boss. After this episode René received permission from the Canadian Ministry of Health to continue working only on those patients who had a written diagnosis of cancer written by a doctor.
In the 1932, an article entitled "Bracebridge Nurse makes an important discovery for cancer" was published in a Toronto newspaper. This article was followed by innumerable requests for help from cancer patients and the first commercial offer.
The offer was really advantageous but it was required to reveal the formula in exchange for a considerable sum and an annuity. René categorically refused, and justified his decision with the fact that he did not want to be speculated about his remedy.
In the 1933, the Canadian town of Bracebridge provided her with a hotel, seized for tax reasons, to make a clinic for her patients. Since then and for the next eight years, a sign on the door would have indicated "Clinic for the treatment of cancer".
From the day of the opening, hundreds of people had come to the clinic and, in the presence of a doctor, they were given the injection and drank the tea. The clinic soon became a sort of "Canadian Lourdes", if you can call it that ...
In the same year the mother of René became ill, inoperable liver cancer, this was the diagnosis. René gave her his treatment and she recovered despite the fact that the doctors had predicted a survival of a few days.
It was in these years that Dr. Banting, one of the participants in the discovery of insulin, claimed that tea had the power to stimulate the pancreas to bring it back to its normal functions, thus treating diabetes patients. Dr. Banting officially invited Mrs. Caisse to do experiments at her research institute, but she, for fear of having to leave her patients, refused. It was the 1936.
An accident occurred in the 1937. A woman nearing death was transported to the hospital of René, suffering from frequent embolism, but, immediately after the injection, she died. It was a golden opportunity for René's detractors: a trial was made and the results of the autopsy showed that the woman had died from an embolus. The publicity that the case unleashed brought even more sick in search of hope to the hospital of Bracebridge. The same year 17 thousand signatures were collected, inviting the Canadian government to recognize tea as a cancer drug.
An American pharmaceutical company even offered a million dollars (and we were in 1937!) For the formula, getting yet another refusal of René. Meanwhile, an American doctor, Dr. Wolfer, offered René to conduct experiments with the drink on thirty patients in his hospital. René shuttled between Canada and the United States for many months, and the results she obtained led Dr. Wolfer to offer her a permanent research space in her laboratories. Once again, René renounced a favorable offer that would have forced her to abandon her patients in Canada.
From that time we have the testimony of Dr. Benjamin Leslie Guyatt, head of the department of anatomy of the University of Toronto, who had repeatedly visited the clinic and said: "I found that in most cases the deformations disappeared, the patients denounced a sharp decrease in pains. In serious cases of cancer, I have seen the most serious bleeding stops. Ulcers open to the lips and breast responded to treatment. I saw disappeared cancers to the bladder, the rectum, the neck of the uterus, the stomach. I can testify that the drink brings health back to the patient, destroying the tumor and restoring the will to live and the normal functions of the organs. "
Dr. Emma Carlson had come from California to visit the clinic, and this was her testimony: "I had come, quite skeptical, and I was determined to remain only 24 hours. I stayed 24 days and I could witness incredible improvements on terminally ill patients without hope and terminally diagnosed sufferers, heal. I examined the results obtained on 400 patients. "
In 1938, another petition in favor of Rene picked up 55.000 signatures. A Canadian politician made his campaign by promising that he would allow Mrs. Caisse to practice the medical profession without a degree and "practice medicine and treat cancer in all its forms and the related indispositions and difficulties that this disease entails."
The response of the medical class was immediate, the new minister of health, Dr. Kirby instituted the "Royal Cancer Commission" whose purpose was to ascertain the efficacy of discussed therapies for cancer. One of the imperative conditions for a medicine to be legalized as a cure for cancer was that its formula was delivered a priori in the hands of the commission. The penalty for non-delivery was a fine for the first time, for the abusive practice of the medical profession, and the arrest in case of recidivism. René Caisse had never wanted to unveil the formula and the commission had no obligation of confidentiality regarding the formulas presented.
The two bills, the one in favor of René and the one that established the commission for cancer, were discussed the same day in the Canadian Parliament. The Kirby law was passed and the pro-René law rejected for only three votes. René's clinic was in danger, the doctors began to refuse to give their patients the certificates of cancer. An avalanche of protest letters reached the health ministry, the former patients treated by René and those who wanted to be cured rebelled. The Minister wished that the clinic would continue to exist until Mrs. Caisse presented herself before the cancer commission.
In March 1939 began the hearings of the cancer commission established by the Kirby law. René was forced to rent the Toronto Hotel Ballroom to accommodate the former 387 patients who had agreed to testify in her favor. All of these people claimed to be convinced that René had healed them or that the drink had stopped the devastating path of cancer. All had been called "hopeless" by their doctors before undergoing treatment at Bracebridge Hospital. Only 49 of the ex-sick 387 were admitted to testify. Famous doctors testified in favor of René. Many cases were removed because the diagnoses were considered wrong and there were also doctors who signed statements in which they recognized the error. In the end, the commission's report was that:
A) In cases diagnosed with biopsy there was a healing and two improvements
B) In cases diagnosed with X-ray, a cure and two improvements
C) In cases diagnosed clinically two healings and four improvements
D) Out of ten "uncertain" diagnoses, three were definitely wrong and four were not definitive
E) Eleven diagnoses were defined as "correct", but healing was attributed to previous radiotherapy.
In short, the conclusion was that the drink was not a cure for cancer and that if Mrs. Caisse had not disclosed the formula, the Kirby law would be applied and the clinic closed. René, challenging the law, kept the clinic open for three years in a semi-illegal situation.
In the 1942, however, the clinic was closed and René was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. He moved to North Bay, where he stayed until 1948, the year her husband died. It is assumed that he continued to help some patients who could reach her, but not to the extent that the clinic had allowed her.

The great return

In the 1959, the important American magazine "True" published an article about René Caisse and his remedy for cancer. The article was the result of months and months of investigations, interviews and material gathering. The article was read by a prominent American physician, Dr. Charles Brush, owner of the Cambridge "Brush Medical Center".
Dr. Brush, after meeting her, proposed that she go to work at her institute. What he was asking was to apply the medicine on cancer patients, test the formula in the laboratory for any changes and improvements and, when you were absolutely sure of efficiency, found an association whose purpose would be to spread it all over the world at an affordable price. She was not asked to reveal the formula but to use it on people with cancer. For René it was the maximum of his wishes and he accepted. René was now seventy years old.
But, before continuing the story, let's try to understand who Dr. Brush was. Dr. Brush was and still is one of the most respected doctors in the United States. He was the personal physician of the late president JF Kennedy and his trusted friend. His interest in natural medicine and the remedies of Asian medical schools dates back many years before his meeting with René. The "Brush Medical Center" is one of the largest hospitals in the United States and was the first to use acupuncture as a method of treatment, the first to give importance to the food factor in patient care and the first American medical institution to establish a free assistance program for poor patients.
René began working at Dr. Brush's clinic in May of 1959.
After three months, Dr. Brush and his assistant, Dr. Mc. Clure, they wrote the first report, which said:
"All patients undergoing treatment experience a reduction in pain and a cancerous mass with a clear increase in weight and general clinical conditions. We can not yet say that it is a cure for cancer but we can safely say that it is healthy and completely non-toxic ".
Dr. Brush, in collaboration with his friend Elmer Grove, a skilled herbalist, came to perfect the formula to the point that it never again had to be injected. By adding other herbs to the original formula, herbs that they called "enhancers", the medicine could be taken orally only. Finally the possibility was opened that everyone could take medicine comfortably at home, avoiding journeys and fatigues often unbearable for seriously ill people. Dr. Mc. Clure sent questionnaires to René's ex-patients to check their lifespan after healing, and the answers she received confirmed the words of René: "The Indian drink treats cancer."
But it happened that new difficulties prevented René from continuing to work with Dr. Brush. The laboratories that provided the guinea pigs for the experiments interrupted the supply and Dr. Brush was invited by the "American Medical Association" not to use methods that came out of the tracks of orthodoxy. René thus returned to Bracebridge to avoid other legal battles. Dr. Brush continued his experiments on humans and animals and gave 1984 maximum confidence in the drink. He fell ill with bowel cancer, cured himself with it and healed.
Rene remained in Bracebridge from the 1962 to the 1978, continuing to supply Dr Brush with herbal medicine, while he kept her informed of the progress of his research and of the effectiveness he had on other degenerative diseases.
René, at the ripe age of 89 years returned to the spotlight.
In the 1977 the periodical "Homemakers" published the story of the drink and of René. The article had the effect of a bomb on Canadian public opinion. Soon his house was attacked by people asking for the drink and she was forced to request help from the police in order to leave the house.
Among the many who read the article was David Fingard, a retired chemist who owns a pharmaceutical company, the "Resperin". Fingard wondered how it was possible that the formula of such an effective substance could have remained in the hands of an old woman for all these years. He decided then that he would take possession of the formula. He was not discouraged at the first waste and finally found the key to open the chest in the heart of René. He promised that he would open five clinics in Canada, open to all, including the poor, and for which he had already found funding from a large Canadian mining company.
26 1977 October of 2 René delivered the formula of the drink in the hands of Mr. Fingard. Dr. Brush was present only as a witness. The contract envisaged, in the event of marketing, a revenue of XNUMX% in favor of René.
In the following days the pharmaceutical company "Resperin" asked and obtained from the Canadian Ministry of Health and Welfare, pressured by the public, permission to test the drink in a pilot program on terminally ill cancer patients. Two hospitals and many dozens of doctors would participate in the clinical trial program, using the drink provided by Resperin, which undertook to follow all the health regulations in force. Canadian public opinion was enthusiastic.
René received a few dollars with which he also had to supply Resperin herbs.
Soon the two hospitals said they wanted to change the agreements and that they would combine the traditional therapies, such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy. It was decided to continue the program only with primary care physicians.
Meanwhile René Caisse died. We were in the 1978.
Hundreds of people from all over were present at his funeral.
The Canadian government interrupted Resperin's experiments, judging them useless because they were not properly executed. In fact, the Resperin was not that big company that its owner had made René believe.
Dr. Brush, suspicious of the lack of information, had carried out surveys on the company. What turned out was that Resperin was made up of two seventy-year-olds, one of whom was Fingard and the other a former minister of a former government, Dr. Mattew Dyamond. Dyamond with the help of his wife prepared the infusion in the kitchen of the house. Supplies to primary care physicians were often late or insufficient or ill-treated. Furthermore, the total lack of coordination of the program made accurate control of the doctors involved impossible.
In an internal circular, the ministry thus judged clinical experiments with the drink: "The clinical cases collected" can not be evaluated ". In official documents the drink was declared however: "not effective in the treatment of cancer". Its absolute non-toxicity was also recognized. Under the pressure of the protests by the sick, she was placed in a program of distribution of special medicines, to terminally ill patients, for compassionate reasons. (NB: in the same program there was also AZT, drug for AIDS, which was then legalized in 1989)
From now on, the patients could have obtained the drink upon presentation of a series of official questions that could not be easily completed. The drink, with the official name with which it was known in Canada could never have been sold as medicine. Dr. Brush was disgusted by the affair and, the only owner of the improved formula, he decided he would wait for a better chance to spread this knowledge. He continued in his hospital to use the drink that in 1984 healed him from bowel cancer.


The turning point

In 1984 comes the scene that would have given a twist to our story: Elaine Alexander, a radio journalist who had given life to interesting and very popular radio programs concerning natural medicines and insights into the then new disease, AIDS. Elaine phoned Dr. Brush, told him that he was very well informed about René's story and the drink and asked him if he was willing to be interviewed during a program called "Stayn 'Alive". Dr. Brush for the first time released a public statement on medicine. This is the transcript of the interview:
Elaine: "Dr. Brush, is it true that you studied the effects of the drink on cancer patients in your clinic?"
Brush: "It's true."
E .: «The results obtained can be defined as meaningful or simply" anecdotes ", as some of your colleagues say?"
B .: "Very significant."
E .: "Have you found any side effects?"
B .: «None.»
E .: "Dr. Brush please get to the point, do you say that the drink can help people with cancer or is it a cure for cancer?"
B .: "I can state that it is a cure for cancer."
E .: "Can you repeat it please?"
B .: «Of course, with great pleasure, the drink is a cure for cancer. I have found that it can reverse cancer to a point where no current medical knowledge is able to reach. "
Dr. Brush's words triggered a wave of phone calls, the radio station's exit was surrounded by people who could not access the telephone line. Elaine was beginning to understand how frustrating it was to not be able to help those asking for help. In the two years that followed, Elaine aired seven two-hour programs on the drink alone. Dr. Brush participated four times as well, numerous doctors, paramedics and ex-patients were interviewed. All confirmed what was said by Dr. Brush. "The drink is a cure for cancer".
Elaine was so pressured by the requests for help that she worked for some of the patients to be included in the government's charitable program. But the road was so difficult and complicated that only a few could access it. Elaine spent three terrible years pressed by thousands of requests for help, and could not distribute the tea. The government's program was so slow in granting the permits that people often died before they could get access.
Finally the bright idea came to her.
He thought: "Why keep fighting with the institutions to make medicine recognized as a" real "cure for cancer? Was not this a simple herbal tea? A harmless and non-toxic herbal tea? ".
Well, it would have sold itself as such. Without attributing any merit for the treatment of cancer or for other diseases. It would be sold in health food stores, which in America and Canada are called "health shops". The rumor would soon spread among cancer patients. He illustrated his project to Dr. Brush who was enthusiastic about it. He understood that this was the key to making the tea available to everyone.
Together they decided to look for the right company that could guarantee an honest price, a meticulous preparation of the formula, a check on the quality of the herbs used and the ability to cope with the huge demands that would follow in a few years. It took six years, discarding and selecting dozens of companies.
Finally, in the 1992 the drink was on sale first in Canada, then in the USA. In the 1995, he made his first appearance in Europe.
Elaine Alexander died in May of 1996.
