Bridge of Hope: The Life of Rene M. Caisse, RN. Canada's Cancer Nurse, & The History of Essiac, by James W. Demers, INSCRIBED by Demers, 1st edition, 2003 This is the story of Rene M. Caisse of Bracebridge, Canada and describes her extraordinary perseverance to obtain official recognition of her herbal cancer remedy she called Essiac, her name spelled backwards. Rene Caisse was thrust into a life-long medical-legal-political controversy that still persists since her death in 1978. Rene wrestled with the Hepburn government of Ontario over the operation of her Bracebridge cancer clinic during 1935 to 1941 and her use of Essiac. She refused to reveal her secret formula and legislation demanding the recipe forced the closing of her clinic. The government was embroiled in the dilemma of ensuring their public favour and appeasing cancer patients. This documented research presents a biography of a remarkable woman and her struggle to help "suffering humanity.". Seller Inventory # ABE-1669154576733

Synopsis:

For over 55 years Rene Caisse, the nurse from Bracebridge, Ontario, Canada, stood her ground against the medical establishment. Thousands claimed she had eased their suffering, or ended it entirely and restored them to full health. But time and again the establishment tried to stop her. The reason? Her original herbal formula remedy she would not reveal to them. As long as the cancer industry did not know the formula, it could not outlaw it, nor shelve it, nor test it on mice for thirty years while humans suffered. But they could arrest her and put her in jail. They even made new laws to do so. Her eloquent response to a half-century of opposition was her * mission of healing.
