Poems from the road Jane Finley writer * artist * teacher (stretching, exercise, relaxation, meditation) Rivers are good for the soul It's been a while since I walked by a river the Elwah, I think, at an Octoberfest celebration in a yurt. That river was low, only a trickle at summer's end. But this river was glorious! Flowing along with rapids in one place, then smooth as glass, the surface refl ecting the orange, red, and yellow fall colors I stood for a while, breathing deep, soaking up the silence, glad to be away from the big city. This is where I belong, I thought, alone, away from the crowds, the noise, right smack dab in the middle of nature untouched by human hands with lots of space to walk or run or dance or turn cartwheels if I choose. All the while restoring my soul. Centralia, Washington Jane's book is WANDERINGS: Living the Ordinary Extraordi- narily (Stories from the Road). This column consists of poems from the book (email: janefi nley@yahoo.com, website: janefi nley.com) By HerbMama Essiac is a non-toxic herbal remedy for cancer that's been with us since 1922! Rene Cassie was a nurse living in Canada for almost 60 yrs. who treated hundreds of people with an herbal remedy she called Essiac (Cassie spelled backwards). She discovered this remedy through a patient in a hospital where she worked who had been cured of can- cer. The patient had used an herbal remedy given her by an Ojibway medicine woman. Rene left the hospital in 1922 at the age of 33 and went to Bracebridge, Ontario, Canada where she began using Essiac to all who came to her. The majority of those she treated had letters from their physicians certifying they had terminal forms of cancer & they had been given up on by the medical profession. Rene began gathering the plants, preparing the remedy & giving it to her patients. In some cases, the patients passed on, but many fully recovered & went on to live 35-45 more years. After an interview with a chiro- practor, it was learned that the Ca- nadian govt. had banned one of the key ingredients for sale & distribu- tion! Isn't it amazing what govern- ments will do to stop a true cure for cancer while it becomes one of the largest money makers in the nation next to oil? Essiac has been reputed to nor- malize the thyroid, heal stomach ulcers (which some believe is a pre- curser to cancer). It regulates the pancreas (so it can be helpful for those with diabetes), gives all can- cer & AIDS patients the enzymes that those diseases have destroyed. Essiac can also elevate the hormone system which in turn elevates the immune system so the body can cure itself. The ingredients for "Herbmama's Detox Blend" contain the same herbs as found in Essiac. However since the herbal blend has been trademarked & registered, the availability is quickly declining! The ingredients are well known, it is the amounts of each one that is diffi cult to "copy"! Burdock Root: Anti-microbial. Pro- vides inulin. Will remove indicators of systemic imbalances. Aids kidney functions. Contains bitters....so it is benefi cial for the digestive process & bile secretion. Great blood puri- fi er & tonic. It's also a diuretic.
