Bruce Hendrick, the chief of neurosurgery at the Universityof Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children, wrote to the Canadian Minister of Healthand Welfare saying that Dr. Hendrick supported a scientific clinical trial of thecancer treatment compound known as "Essiac."Dr. Hendrick stated that after they started on Essiac, eight of ten patients withsurgically treated tumors of the central nervous system had "escaped from theconventional methods of therapy including both radiation and chemotherapy."Dr. Hendrick wrote that he was "most impressed with the effectiveness of thetreatment and its lack of side effects." He closed with this: "I feel that this method of treatment should be given serious consideration and would benefit from a scientificclinical trial."With that letter Dr. Hendrick joined a long list of physicians dating back more than60 years who have spoken in favor of Essiac as a cancer treatment.Yet Essiac today remains unavailable—almost impossible to get—for nearly allcancer patients.How could something like this happen?
