I have a pitutary tumor that causes increase in prolactin . The medicine I take is unbearable. I have been taing it for 8 years now, & i was wondering if natural medicine like essiac can help shrink the tumor. I have read numerous testimonials online & I don t know what to make of it. Also, I have not read anything concrete to disapprove it effectiveness.

1. history indicates you are suffering from Prolactinoma.
2. you haven't mentioned about any features associated with
i.HIGH PROLACTIN level in blood: amenorrhea, galactorrhea,loss of pubic and axillary hairs, gynecomastia,erectile dysfunction or
ii. due to TUMOR (mass effect): nausea,vomiting,bitemporal hemianopsia,vertigo.
3. because SEX is not mentioned features of both male and female are described.
4. you haven't told about the medicine which is unbearable to you, and since 8 years was MRI or CT brain done in between to notice the size of tumor or any mass effect??
5. Essiac is a natural alternative to cancer treatment, which helps in control of cancer (by slowing mitosis) and relieving pain, though it may not be a cure but surely an evidence of a beneficial treatment.

Hallo,
Essiac called as Flor Essence is an herbal tea promoted as an dietary supplement and not to show any proof of effectiveness.
There is no scientific evidence to show that essiac can treat, prevent, or cure cancer or any other serious illness in humans.
Essiac is a mixture of roots, bark and leaves that you boil to made a drinkable brown liquid.
Some people believe that certain alernative therapies can boost your immune system and help fight your cancer. But repeated laboratory tests showed that there is no scientific evidence to prove this.
Many people become confused about Essiac Tea after visiting various web sites with conflicting information.
