The pre-mixed essiac uses Turkish Rhubarb rather than the correct Indian Rhubarb. I am sure
that the chemistry between the two differs to at least some degree. Possibly a critical difference in the efficacy of the compound. There is no chance that Turkish Rhubarb was available to the Ojibwa Indians who originated the formula . Indian Rhubarb is indigenous to that part of Canada. Also the preparation using a strong decoction is the method used by Rene Caisse, rather than the capsules of dried herbs being sold by most dealers. Part or even all of the effect of the formula could come from a chemical reaction occurring at the time of preparation. A chance I would not be willing to take. The strength of the decoction is something that would be hard to achieve with capsules of dried herbs too. You would have to gobble them a bottle at a time to come close to the same strength. The recipe I posted I believe is the exact recipe used by Rene Caisse and is the preparation I would use. If it ain't broke.
