The respondent claimed that Premium Essiac Tea was effective in treating, preventing, or curing cancer and other serious diseases, without a reasonable basis for this claim. The order requires the respondent to have competent and reliable scientific evidence substantiating any claim that any covered product or service is effective in the treatment, cure, or prevention of any disease or condition, or is superior to other similar products or services. The order requires that any future claim about the absolute or comparative benefits, performance, efficacy, safety, or side effects of any covered product or service be truthful and supported by competent and reliable scientific evidence. The order prohibits the misrepresentation of the results of any test, study, or research in connection with the advertising, promotion, or sale of any covered product or service. The order does not prohibit the respondent from making representations for any drug that are permitted by the Food and Drug Administration. The order requires the respondent to provide a list of all purchasers of Premium Essiac Tea to the Commission and to mail each purchaser a letter describing the scientific evidence related to essiac tea. The order prohibits the respondent from providing any identifying information about his purchasers to anyone other than a law enforcement agency or as required by law. Other provisions require the respondent to keep copies of relevant advertisements and materials that substantiate claims made in the advertisements; to provide copies of the order to certain of his employees; to notify the Commission of any changes in employment that might affect compliance obligations under the order; and to file compliance reports with the Commission.

Participants For the Commission: Loretta Kraus and Michael Milgrom DARYL C. JENKS 661 Complaint For the Respondent: Josh Ard, Law Offices of Josh Ard. COMPLAINT The Federal Trade Commission, having reason to believe that Daryl C. Jenks, individually and d/b/a Premium Essiac Tea 4less (“respondent”), has violated the provisions of the Federal Trade Commission Act, and it appearing to the Commission that this proceeding is in the public interest, alleges: 1. Respondent Daryl C. Jenks is a resident of Michigan. His principal office or place of business is 4245 Sundance Meadows, Howell, Michigan 48843. Individually or in concert with others, he formulates, directs, or controls the policies, acts, or practices of the business operating under the trade name “Premium Essiac Tea 4less.”

2. Respondent has labeled, advertised, offered for sale, sold, and distributed products to the public, including Premium Essiac Tea. Premium Essiac Tea is a “food” or “drug,” within the meaning of Sections 12 and 15 of the Federal Trade Commission Act.

3. The acts and practices of respondent alleged in this complaint have been in or affecting commerce, as “commerce” is defined in Section 4 of the Federal Trade Commission Act. 4. Respondent has disseminated or has caused to be disseminated, via the Internet among other means, advertisements for Premium Essiac Tea, including but not necessarily limited to the attached Exhibits A through G. These advertisements contain the following statements and depictions:

VOLUME 144 Complaint a. The Powerful Benefits of this Gentle Organic Essiac Formula Can be Yours, RISK FREE! Your number one concern when shopping for essiac is to trust you are receiving your product from a source which is credible. The second most important aspect is the effectiveness of each individual formula sold by each individual company. We are a credible source and clinical trials have proven that the essiac sold at this website is the most effective formula available. Brief History Rene Caisse was introduced to doctors at the Brusch Medical Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1958. Rene Caisse, under the supervision of 18 doctors, performed a series of treatments on terminally ill cancer patients. Dr Charles Brusch, John F Kennedy’s personal physician, was Rene Caisse’s mentor during this time. Dr Brusch took a great interest in Rene Caisse’s ancient tonic as a traditional form of healing. The eight herb formula had results consistently better than all others during these eight years of trials. The positive results from the trials included cessation of pain, an overall feeling of wellbeing, improved sleep, increased appetite and energy, a decrease of nodular masses and a prolongation of life.

Benefits of Essiac Tea Include a Boosted Immune System and Detoxification.

People from all over the world have realized the benefits of essiac tea.

Relapse prevention for cancer patients never ends. Possibly the relapse prevention necessary for cancer survivors.

An alternative cancer treatment used by many is essiac.

An alternative cancer treatment many patients seek. Conventional and alternative treatment together make potent partners. . . .

b. Essiac Order Guide The first step in choosing how much essiac you need is to answer the following question: 1. Do you have, or do you suspect you have, cancer or another major health problem? If your answer is yes, we recommend that you take the aggressive dose (9 oz. of tea per day). If your answer is no, we recommend that you take the maintenance dose (3 oz. of tea per day). Click on the appropriate VOLUME 144 Complaint link (aggressive or maintenance dose) above to learn more about Essiac Tea Dosage Recommendations. Excerpt from Exhibit B, advertisement on linked web page of premium-essiac-tea-4less.com [www.premium-essiac-tea- 4less.com/ordering-essiac.html].

c. Essiac Tea FAQ and Premium Essiac Tea 4less Information.

What are the benefits of using essiac? Essiac tea’s primary actions are to cleanse the body of impurities, restore energy levels, remove heavy metals and rebuild the immune system. These actions help restore the body to a level where it is able to use its own resources to defeat an illness. In other words, essiac rebuilds the immune system and improves the illness-defeating ability of the body so that the body can rid itself of the illness. For a list of possible benefits from essiac tea, please visit: Essiac Tea Benefits.

Is essiac able to cure cancer or other serious illnesses? We cannot legally claim essiac is a cancer cure or a cure for any other disease. However, due to the beneficial properties of essiac tea listed above, many people who take essiac report a stronger immune system and increased health and well-being. With all of these positive improvements essiac tea causes in the body, the body becomes much better equipped to rid itself of disease. (Essiac is not a drug and is therefore not able to be FDA approved as a proven treatment).

DARYL C. JENKS 665 Complaint Am I able to take essiac while receiving chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy? Yes. Essiac has a tendency to improve a person’s quality of life while receiving chemotherapy and/or radiation. However, chemotherapy and radiation therapy can destroy the chemicals and compounds of essiac tea diminishing the effects of essiac tea. To accommodate for this decrease in effective of the essiac, we recommend consuming the aggressive PLUS dose of 6 oz. of tea three times per day, rather than the regular aggressive dose of 3 oz. of tea three times per day. From our experience and experimentation, we’ve found that people on chemotherapy and radiation therapy tend to have best results taking 6 oz. three times per day. However, some have remained on 3 oz. three times per day and also had good results. Personally, if we had a loved one taking chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy, we would recommend 6 oz. three times per day to be on the safe side.

Am I able to take essiac with other types of treatments? Yes, essiac is able to be taken with all types of treatments, alternative and traditional. Essiac will work in a complementary fashion with other types of treatments compounding the positive health effects. You are advised to consult with your practitioner. If you are concerned, ease into your essiac tea usage gradually, taking 2 or 1/3 of the full dose at first. When will I notice the benefits of taking essiac? This varies from individual to individual. Some people notice an increased sense of health, well-being and energy just days after starting essiac tea. It takes others weeks or even months to notice a tangible benefit. But, VOLUME 144 Complaint for most people, an improvement in general health and well-being is experienced after one to two weeks if taking essiac tea regularly. Follow our essiac dosage recommendations for at least 5 months if you have cancerous tumors.

What diseases/medical conditions are treated with essiac? Cancerous tumors, diabetes, leukemia, liver problems, high blood pressure, kidney ailments, high cholesterol, chronic pain, chronic fatigue, and hepatitis C are some of the more common diseases/medicals conditions treated with essiac.

Why should I choose the eight herb essiac formula over the four herb formula? There are a several reasons for choosing the eight herb formula instead of the four herb formula. One reason is watercress. An important property of watercress is its cleansing ability. Watercress removes a residual component of sheep sorrel break down called oxalic acid. Oxalic acid will form stones (Kidney stones, etc) within the body. Without watercress, stone formation can happen in individuals who are susceptible. The four herb formula doesn’t have watercress but does have sheep sorrel. Secondly, red clover and blessed thistle both have proven anti-cancer properties. These herbs give the eight herb formula a cancer fighting advantage over the four herb formula. Thirdly, kelp is full of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. Kelp is a strong immune system booster. Kelp is found only in the eight herb formula. Fourthly, four herb essiac was designed to have one of the herbs injected. If you are taking essiac as a tea and not injecting one of the herbs, it won’t be as effective. Finally, while four herb DARYL C. JENKS 667 Complaint essiac is targeted for liver detoxification, eight herb essiac results in liver and colon detoxification for a more complete detoxification.

d. Essiac Testimonials from People with Truly Amazing Testimony.

A handful of our many essiac testimonials from people using our eight herb essiac can be found here:

__________ April 9, 2005 “Essiac tea is amazing. Let me tell you about my mother who has (or had) colon cancer. She is elderly and the doctors warned that she might not survive an operation to try and remove the tumors. We agreed that we would rather have her enjoy her last years as much as possible, living with us etc. rather than be in a hospital trying to recover from invasive surgery. We were on the fence about chemo but decided against it for the time being.

We began giving her essiac tea last November, and we noticed that she seemed happier and more energetic almost right away. However, it wasn’t until February that we noticed some dark substance coming from her colon. At first it seemed to be stuck to her skin but after a few days it began falling off on its own while she was bathing. When we went back for testing the VOLUME 144 Complaint doctors said the tumors seemed to be gone. Amazing. My mother continues to take essiac at maintenance dose, and actually the whole family is on it now because cancer runs in our family. Essiac is truly heaven-sent. Please add my account to your cancer testimonials page so that others will know how well it has worked for us.”

__________ March 31, 2005 “I have cancer and I need to order some more essiac tea. I need essiac sent to me as soon as possible. Let me tell you what happened to me . . . .

I had become very sick with cancer last year. It got to the point that I was told I would be dead by December. I couldn’t stay awake for more than a few hours at a time, and I couldn’t speak clearly anymore. My tongue had swollen from the chemo.

I heard about essiac tea and tried it as a last ditch effort to save my life. I continued the chemo but added essiac tea to my regimen. I couldn’t believe how quickly I noticed an increase in energy. Then my hair started growing back, both on my head and my eyelashes and such. A few months later, all my tumors were gone. My doctor said, “Whatever you’re doing, keep it up, this is a miracle!”

I am religious and I believe that faith can heal. In addition, I believe the chemo and radiation helped me. However, I do not think I would be alive today if not for the essiac tea. The reason I say this is because, once my tumors were gone and I felt better, I ran out of essiac and didn’t buy more. I didn’t think I needed it DARYL C. JENKS 669 Complaint anymore. Well, I was wrong. My hair started falling out and I had no energy. My platelet count is up again. This started happening a little over a month ago, a few weeks after I stopped the essiac tea. I had been meaning to get more but I kept putting it off. My friend gave me some other tea to try, he called it “miracle tea.” I don’t know what was in it, but it did nothing for me. It’s not like essiac. Now I feel desperate: I need to get more essiac in me. I feel like crap without it and I’m worried that my tumors will come back, if they haven’t already.

My doctor is worried also because I am obviously slipping. He says he can’t recommend essiac (which makes me so angry!) but we both know that it’s the only thing that has changed in my regimen. I recommend that everyone with cancer take essiac. I believe you should take traditional treatments like chemo in addition to essiac for best results. All I can go by is how I reacted, but it truly has been a miracle for me. Essiac tea is absolutely amazing and I feel it saved my life.”

Heather __________ January 2005 “I’m writing because my attorney (a good friend of mine) suggested that I take essiac tea. The doctors found a growth on my skin that appears not to be cancerous, but I’m not taking any chances. He affirmed that I should use essiac containing eight herbs, not the four-herb tea that is more commonly found. He recommended that I come to this site, as you people have been very helpful and the price is right. I guess he’s been pointing a lot of people your way. VOLUME 144 Complaint I am optimistic because my friend’s wife was at one point diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer that had metastasized to the liver, and now it’s been five years and she is alive and well. Granted, she was on chemotherapy at the same time she took the essiac. She began the chemo December 1999 and the essiac in February 2000. By April 2000 her condition had become stable, which was realistically the best they could hope for at the time.

She continues to maintain relatively good health and although the tumors are still present, her condition is definitely stable and she generally feels well. Her husband switched to your eight-herb essiac when he found your website last month. He says that your herbs seem to be fresher than any he’s received before and his wife feels better than ever. I’m looking forward to trying the tea and hope it can do for me what it appears to be doing for so many others. At this point in my life (45) I am well aware of the need for preventive treatment, even if I am “healthy” for the time being.” Christine L., Nevada Excerpts from Exhibit D, advertisement on linked web page of premium-essiac-tea-4less.com [www.premium-essiac-tea- 4less.com/essiac-testimonials.html].

e. This Essiac Tea Formula is Comprised of the Perfect Balance of the Following Eight Herbs. The essiac tea formula from which we process our eight herb essiac is the last essiac tea formula Dr. Charles Brusch and Rene Caisse, R.N., researched and tested before the time of Rene Caisse’s death. They DARYL C. JENKS 671 Complaint worked together for many years attempting to incorporate additional herbs in with the original four essiac herbs in a ratio that would achieve optimal effectiveness. This research and patient testing was done at the Brusch Medical Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts on terminal cancer patients. Rene Caisse’s original four herb essiac was used by ill patients, often times terminal cancer patients, with positive results. This original formula consisted of burdock root, sheep sorrel, slippery elm bark and Turkey rhubarb root. Rene Caisse added four herbs, which she knew possessed amazing medicinal properties, to her original formula. These herbs had been used for years, and in some cases centuries, to heal the sick. These four herbs were blessed thistle, kelp, red clover and watercress. The medicinal properties of these herbs accomplished what Rene had set out to do. They enhanced the overall effectiveness of the original essiac tea formula making the original formula somewhat obselete. Why use something that’s good when you can use something that’s great? For an extensive overview on who Rene Caisse was and the history of essiac, click here: Rene Caisse and her essiac tea formula.

The exact composition of the eight herb essiac tea formula is not known to the public at large. The eight different herbs are known, but the exact ratio of each herb in the essiac tea formula is not known. This formula is kept locked away. The only people having knowledge of the formula are the people who process the essiac tea herbs. And, they have been sworn to an oath to never divulge this formula. When these eight essiac tea herbs are measured, mixed and freshly VOLUME 144 Complaint packaged, the way that only our company knows how, they make a superior essiac tea.

f. Essiac Dosage Recommendations Seven Main Categories of Essiac Dosage Recommendations Child Dosage is dependant on the weight of the child and the health conditions for which essiac will be used. Check out our simplified breakdown of essiac dosage for children.

Dosage for Children Pet Dosage is determined by the health and weight of your animal. Check out a thorough breakdown of the aggressive and maintenance dosage regimens for your cat or dog.

Pet Dosage Instructions Aggressive Dose is recommended if you have a serious illness. This is the standard essiac dosage recommended if you have cancer, diabetes or another serious medical condition.

Aggressive Dosage Instructions Aggressive Dose PLUS is recommended for those who are receiving chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. This dose is also recommended for those who have been given a terminal diagnosis.

Aggressive PLUS Dosage Instructions DARYL C. JENKS 673 Complaint Maintenance Dose is recommended for those who have overcome an illness. This dose is recommended for at least six months AFTER your test results have returned to normal.

Maintenance Dosage Instructions Preventive Dose is recommended for healthy individuals. This dose is to prevent health problems, disease and illness. This dosage is especially important for those who have a family history of cancer. Essiac Preventive Dosage Detoxification Dose is recommended if you wish to detoxify your body. The detoxification dose is for improved health, to prevent disease and illness, or to recover from disease or illness. Detoxification regimens are typically done for a fixed period of time. But, this dose can be continued indefinitely to maintain optimal health.

Detoxification Dosage Instructions.

Essiac tea has been used for many decades as a cure for a wide range of illnesses and diseases. The FDA hasn’t proven Essiac to have a beneficial effect as an herbal blend. However, the FDA has confirmed the eight individual essiac herbs do indeed have beneficial properties. Whether essiac tea is a cure or not according to the FDA isn’t the important point. The important consideration is whether essiac tea helps a person fight an illness on a case by case basis. It may VOLUME 144 Complaint not help everybody, but it might help you or me on an individual basis.

OK, now that you know the difference between the aggressive dose and the maintenance dose, you can decide which you will plan to take. Remember this, because you will need to know which dose you plan to take when choosing your order size.

Next, you need to decide whether you'd like the most economical option, or the most convenient one:

2. If you'd like the most economical choice, order essiac in bulk packages.

Essiac in bulk bags Is the least expensive per pound.

Essiac will work in a complementary fashion with other types of treatments compounding the positive health effects. You are advised to consult with your practitioner. If you are concerned, ease into your essiac tea usage gradually, taking 1/2 or 1/3 of the full dose at first. When will I notice the benefits of taking essiac? This varies from individual to individual. Some people notice an increased sense of health, well-being and energy just days after starting essiac tea. It takes others weeks or even months to notice a tangible benefit. But, for most people, an improvement in general health and well-being is experienced after one to two weeks if taking essiac tea regularly.

Are there any side effects from using essiac? The only side effects we've experienced are nausea and diarrhea, These side effects occur during the first few days of taking the aggressive dose of essiac. The nausea and diarrhea are usually quite mild. These side effects are a result of the essiac detoxifying the body, which is a good thing. If you have trouble tolerating these side effects then ease into the aggressive dosage by taking 1/2 to 1/3 of the recommended dose. Always consult with your medical practitioner if you have any health concerns. Essiac Herbs and Essiac Formula Which herbs are found in the eight herb essiac? Why should I choose the eight herb essiac formula over the four herb formula? How Is the taste of the eight herb essiac formula? Should the essiac tea be taken hot, cold or room temperature? Should essiac tea be taken with food or on an empty stomach? Are the herbs organically grown? Are the herbs fresh? From what location do you receive these herbs? Have these herbs been irradiated? Are there any pesticides or chemicals used on these herbs? Which herbs are found in eight herb essiac? The eight herb formula we distribute is comprised of blessed thistle, burdock root, kelp, red clover, sheep sorrel, slippery elm bark, Turkey rhubarb root, and watercress. These individual herbs each have beneficial properties for healing the human body. Once they are combined together in a specific ratio the individual properties of each herb are enhanced by the other herbs in a synergistic manner.

There are a several reasons for choosing the eight herb formula instead of the four herb formula. One reason is watercress. An important property of watercress is its cleansing ability. Watercress removes a residual component of sheep sorrel break down called oxalic acid. Oxalic acid will form stones (Kidney stones, etc) within the body. Without watercress, stone formation can happen in individuals who are susceptible, The four herb formula doesn't have watercress but does have sheep sorrel. Secondly, red clover and blessed thistle both have proven anti-cancer properties. These herbs give the eight herb formula a cancer fighting advantage over the four herb formula. Thirdly, kelp is full of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. Kelp is a strong immune system booster. Kelp is found only in the eight herb formula. Fourthly, four herb essiac was designed to have one of the herbs injected. If you are taking essiac as a tea and not injecting one of the herbs, it won't be as effective. Finally, while four herb essiac is targeted for liver detoxification, eight herb essiac results in liver and colon detoxification for a more complete detoxification. To read more about the merits of eight herb essiac and the history behind it, please visit: How is the taste of the eight herb essiac formula? Eight herb essiac has a “earthy" and somewhat bitter taste. The bitterness is due to the watercress. Most people become accustomed to the taste after @ two week period. For those who never get accustomed to the taste, we recommend an orange juice chaser. Drink a small portion of orange juice immediately after consuming the essiac tea. The orange juice will help to counteract the taste of the essiac tea. Essiac tea is not meant to be sipped or savored. It should be taken in the same manner as a cough syrup or other medicinal liquid.

Should essiac tea be taken cold, hot or at room temperature? We recommend taking the essiac tea cold. Test results showed that tea taken cold was the most effective. The tea should be taken immediately after pouring your serving from the container in the refrigerator. Should essiac tea be taken with food or on an empty stomach? We recommend taking essiac tea on an empty stomach. Take essiac tea one hour before eating a meal or two hours after eating a meal. Liquids won't interfere with essiac being absorbed into the blood stream through the digestive system, so orange juice, water, etc may be consumed shortly after taking essiac, but please avold solid foods.

Are the herbs fresh? Yes! Our herbs are incredibly fresh because we sell thousands of pounds of essiac herbs a month. We turn over the majority of our herb inventory every 1-2 weeks. Many customers have commented on how fresh the herbs look and smell. If you purchase essiac from an outlet that sells more than one herbal formula, you're more likely to receive stale herbs.

JENKS 691 Complaint Exhibit D Exhibit D Essiac Testimonials From People With Truly Amazing Testimony.

A handful of our many essiac testimonials from people using our eight herb essiac can be found here:

September 14, 2006 I was diagnosed with colon cancer in March that had metastasized to my liver. I was put on strong chemo treatments (3 kinds at a time) every 10 days. The first treatment I was very ill and was in bed for 3 days. I then started taking Essiac twice a day. By the time I took my 2nd Chemo treatment I had more energy and my appetite was better. I just felt better all over, The Doctors were armazed at how well I was handling such strong chemo I took 8 treatments and then had surgery. They removed my gall bladder, 80 percent of my liver and a section of my colon. That was in June. I had some setbacks with infection. After surgery and the infection I was very breathless and weak. I started taking the Essiac again and my breathlessness got better immediately and I had more energy. My appetite has also improved. I had a scan 3 days ago and there is NO Cancer in sight. I do however have a pocket of fluid behind my liver that I am going to have to get checked out. My oncologist said it is not cancer, but is surgery related. I am very thankful I found out about Essiac. I truly believe it has helped me fight this battle. I would recommend it to anyone taking chemo or fighting Cancer.

Jim February 15, 2005 "I began purchasing essiac tea at a local health food store after reading about it in some cancer testimonials from survivors. I since found your site online and have ordered and begun using your eight herb essiac tea. I was diagnosed with melanoma in 1999. I had surgery and was told that there was 2 99% chance the cancer wouldn't spread, Well, less than a year later a lump in my breast was detected.

I had another surgery and started to look into options at the health food store. I didn't want to live my life going from surgery to surgery and never being sure if the cancer had spread. Well, I've been taking essiac tea since 2003 and your product since late 2004. Knock on wood, I am cancer free and have been since early 2004. I have never felt better in my life, and I sincerely believe it is due to the wonderful tea." Paul Grady, New Hampshire *I started taking essiac tea because my friend (who had been taking essiac http://www.premium-essiac-tea-4less.com/essiac-testimonials.html 2/14/2008 VOLUME 144 Complaint mssiac 1esuumoniais rrom recopie bxperiencing Tancer and Omer ivicdical Condiuons rage zu1in Exhibit D for her breast cancer) told me that it could be used as a detox and a general health tea. I had been consuming products made with aspartame for awhile, and started feeling a lack of energy, an increase in pain, increase in weight, and depression. I hoped that taking essiac tea would help my "detox" from aspartame.

It's hard to say how far-reaching the effects of aspartame were, but I have never felt better. It's strange, because my energy levels used to drop In the mid-afternoon and in general I felt lethargic much of the time. After just a few weeks on essiac that has vanished, and I feel better than ever. I've also noticed my skin has cleared up and has a rosy glow to the cheeks that I never had before. I'm sleeping very well and waking up refreshed--and it seems I need less sleep now, but I feel much better all day. I plan on taking essiac for life, and the preventive effect against cancer is a definite plus, as cancer runs in my family. For what it's worth, I've been taking two 3-oz. doses per day, about an hour after breakfast and again right before bed. I tell everyone I know about these essiac testimonials and this wonderful health tonic--I wish I discovered essiac sooner, and cancer runs in my family so this tea has been a godsend.”

Jennifer, Maryland December 2004 "I've been suffering from hypothyroidism and hypoglycemia since 1997, which has lead to a 50 pound weight gain (5-10 pounds a year from 1997 to 2004). I'm on premarin right now. I went online to research herbal remedies because I figured I had nothing to lose (but the weight,ha ha). I came across some essiac testimonials from diabetics and people with hypoglycemia, I decided to order some essiac and give it a try. Now I've been on it for over six months. Looking back, I realize now that I probably had accumulated a lot of toxins that made my thyroid become sluggish. I say this because not only has the weight began to come off without a change in diet (purposefully, anyway) but I've noticed that my skin has become clear, I feel much more energetic, and my constant headaches have disappeared. I seemed to be in pain for something or other almost all of the time. My family thought I was a hypochondriac. I just feel that my body was highly toxic and I was paying the price. Sincerely, Rachel Currier January 3, 2005 “I need to order some essiac tea. I've been using some that my sister ordered from your website last November. She really believes in essiac tea, and she was so happy she found your site, which offers it at a lower price than we've been able to find elsewhere. She was diagnosed with esophageal cancer in 1991 and the situation was very bad for awhile. She was given a maximum of six months to live. Right around that time she began an aggressive regimen of essiac tea. And she is still here today. She tells everyone who needs it about essiac tea. Getting to my part of the story...

I was feeling so sick from these treatments through the month of December. It was all I could do to get out of bed. No energy, I felt very depressed. I decided to go with the 6 oz. three times per day of your essiac tea because I am receiving the chemo and radiation. After four days of this regimen I started feeling like I had been before the chemo and radiation...not perfect, but not like I was at death's door, either, I have continued to feel better as the weeks have gone by, and the best news Is that the tumor has gone down for the first time as of my last check-up. I will be calling this afternoon to place my order. May God Bless.” Kenneth Brown, Oklahoma November 2004 “I have had previous experience with essiac tea. I purchased some essiac tea from a friend for my father-in-law about ten years ago. I saw an almost immediate improvement in his health, I can't say for sure what effect it had on his prostate cancer, but it had a positive effect on his psoriasis, diabetes, and asthma for sure. I am convinced the essiac tea helped prolong his life and, perhaps more importantly, improved the quality of his life during his remaining years. He was able to live pain-free much of the time, and that in and of itself was a blessing.”

Margaret L., Nevada January 2005 "I started suffering from asthma after repeated bouts of bronchitis in 2003 and 2004. I found myself having to use my inhaler quite often during the day, and eventually experimented with Singulair and Advair. Singulair and Advair worked quite well, although because I don't have insurance I found them to be very expensive.

Someone suggested that I try essiac tea. They gave me a two-week supply to try. I was astounded that my asthma was gone three days later! I've been taking 3 oz. per dose, 3 times per day. I noticed other health benefits as well, so I plan to continue essiac tea. Recently everyone got sick around here, and I did as well, but I got better in two days whereas everyone else, it seemed to take them two weeks.

My husband suffers from asthma to a greater degree than I ever did, and I suggested that he try essiac tea. To his pleasant surprise, he took it during an acute attack and his breathing increased from about 20% capacity to almost 100%, almost instantly. He has tried many asthma treatments including steroid packs and Prednisone. Those treatments are hard on his system and he's glad he doesn't have to rely on them anymore. Thank you so much for offering essiac tea at such a great price. We're telling everyone we know about the wonderful effects of health and well-being we've seen from essiac tea."

I am on chemo as well and I'm not sure if the chemo or the essiac is doing the trick, but I'm not going to take any chances. I believe in alternative treatments very much, so I'm partial to attribute my progress to the essiac, but whatever it is I am grateful. I am also thankful to have the chance to read essiac tea testimonials from others who are doing well, it gives me hope.”

Kerry W., Texas March 4, 2005 “I have been giving this product to my brother for two years now. His cancer has metastasized. His test results have been getting better and better. The doctors do not know I have been giving his essiac tea, but we believe that is what Is helping him. I would like to place a bulk order ASAP," Kenny, Colorado April 9, 2005 “Essiac tea is amazing. Let me tell you about my mother who has (or had) colon cancer. She is elderly and the doctors warned that she might not survive an operation to try and remove the tumors. We agreed that we would rather have her enjoy her last years as much as possible, living with us etc. rather than be in a hospital trying to recover from invasive surgery. We were on the fence about chemo but decided against it for the time being.

We began giving her essiac tea last November, and we noticed that she seemed happier and more energetic almost right away. However, it wasn’t until February that we noticed some dark substance coming from her colon. At first it seemed to be stuck to her skin but after a few days It began falling off on its own while she was bathing. When we went back for testing the doctors said the tumors seerned to be gone. Amazing. My mother continues to take essiac at maintenance dose, and actually the whole family is on it now because cancer runs in our family. Essiac is truly heaven-sent. Please add my account to your cancer testimonials page so that others will know how well it has worked for us."

Susan Baxter, New Hampshire February 26, 2005 "I've been helping care for my aunt for the past three years. Soon after I took her in they discovered rectal cancer. After debating our options we decided to start chemo and radiation. However, we weren't satisfied to stop with that. I was interested in alternative treatments but I didn't want to go with just anything. My priest recommended essiac tea and of course, prayer and faith.

Mind you, she was taking chemo and radiation as well, and also cat's claw and a bunch of “antioxidant” vitamins, All we knew was that something was working. My aunt's last CAT scan showed that she was normal: no cancer anywhere in sight! We were so relieved. It's so scary to not know what is happening or what you can do. We dropped her back to 4 oz. twice per day; we had been doing three times per day. Now I am told we can drop back further so we will probably do that after her next check-up. Or, we might keep her on twice per day, who wants to mess with what works. We thank God every day for whatever miracle saved my aunt.”

Cassie R., Midland, Texas March 31, 2005 “I have cancer and I need to order some more essiac tea. I need essiac sent to me as soon as possible. Let me tell you what happened to me... I had become very sick with cancer last year. It got to the point that I was told I would be dead by December. I couldn't stay awake for more than a few hours at a time, and I couldn't speak clearly anymore. My tongue had swollen from the chemo.

I heard about essiac tea and tried it as a last ditch effort to save my life. I continued the chemo but added essiac tea to my regimen. I couldn't believe how quickly I noticed an increase in energy. Then my hair started growing back, both on my head and my eyelashes and such. A few months later, all my tumors were gone. My doctor said, “Whatever you're doing, keep it up, this is a miracle!"

Tam religious and | believe that faith can heal. In addition, I believe the chemo and radiation helped me. However, I do not think I would be alive today if not for the essiac tea. The reason I say this is because, once my tumors were gone and I felt better, I ran out of essiac and didn't buy more. I didn't think I needed it anymore. Well, I was wrong. My hair started falling out and I had no energy. My platelet count Is up again. This started happening a little over a month ago, a few weeks after I stopped the essiac tea. I had been meaning to get more but I kept putting it off. My friend gave me some other tea to try, he called it "miracle tea." I don't know what was in it, but it did nothing for me. It's not like essiac. Now I feel desperate: I need to get more essiac in me. I feel like crap without it and I'm worried that my tumors will come back, if they haven't already. My doctor is worried also because I am obviously slipping. He says he can't recommend essiac (which makes me so angry!) but we both know that it's the only thing that has changed in my regimen. I recommend that everyone with cancer take essiac. I believe you should take traditional treatments like chemo in addition to essiac for best results, All I can go by is how I reacted, but it truly has been a miracle for me. Essiac tea Is absolutely amazing and T feel it saved my life."

After my dad came home from the hospital, the week before Christmas in 2003, he was on oxy-cotin, and was in pain (They radiated his ‘whole’ spine). Basically, they sent him home to die. I brought him essiac and he started taking it, just to appease my sister and I. Two days after taking the essiac tea, his pain went away. His pain went away after two days, no more pills, and his cat scans were very good, the doctors were arnazed. However my dad is a retired electrical engineer and thinks prescription drugs are the way to go, not ‘voodoo’ stuff. Of course, he didn't attribute getting well to the tea. I keep saying, ‘God made herbs.' He stopped the essiac tea in the spring. The cancer did spread again in the summer and now he is in a cancer ‘vaccine’ testing. He has some at his house if he so chooses (It is hard for my parents right now, since their youngest, my brother passed away at age 34 on Sept 15). I have seen this works and with our colds and knowing what we really eat, what is contained in our milks beef, and chicken--we like the idea of purging cancer causers from our bodies. The tea we got my dad was not the ‘original’ essiac tea, which is why I did buy in bulk from you. Thanks for offering it to us at a great price. God didn't give me a gift to ‘write’..but I still try.” Sincerely, Karen May 9, 2005 Hi, so far I love your product. My lab results showed me in the non-diabetic category for the first time and ALL my results improved (I have been on 902z/day for close to a month now).

God Bless, Jonathan April 2005 “One of my friends was diagnosed with Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) In 2003. She was sick with infections and fevers almost all of the time. She also developed anemia (her red blood cells were very low). Upon her Practitioner's recommendation she began to take essiac tea along with chemotherapy.

After four months on essiac tea, to our surprise her body seemed to have rid itself of leukemia cells. The hematologist found her completely normal when he did the bone marrow aspiration.

His is the eight herb formula like you have on this site. My friend was at one point given less than a month to live, and that is when he tried the tea. That was in 1990 and he is still alive today. This is unbelievable to me! I have cancer and would like to try this 'miracle tea’ for myself.”

Earl Barrington, Tennessee February 2005 “Bill and I have been drinking essiac tea for three months now (me more consistently than him, but he is getting better) and it has done wonders for my type IT diabetes. I also notice a lessening of sugar cravings in general which has allowed me to drop 10 Ibs. without really thinking about it. This is good for me as I am still about 30 Ibs. overweight, hopefully not for long. My test results re: the diabetes have returned to normal. I hope my husband will receive the same benefits. His diabetes was a bit worse off than mine was to begin with, and like I said he hasn't been as consistent as I have with taking his essiac tea. Now that he has seen me improve so much, though, he appears to be more motivated with his own treatment. I find that many men aren't interested in the herbal remedies but once they see them work in action they come around. I have found my breathing improve as well, is this one of the benefits of essiac tea (I am asthmatic). Please send us another of the same order we got three months ago on 11/29/05, and thank you for all of your help over the phone, etc. these past months."

Sincerely, Gayle and Bill T.

November 2004 “Seven years ago I had surgery to remove a cancerous rectal tumor that was discovered the year before, and was growing at an alarming rate. I was advised to undergo chemotherapy and radiation. I did for four months but I felt so sick all the time that I couldn't bear to continue, I felt my best course of action was to follow an organic diet and investigate alternative treatments. I stumbled upon essiac tea and began to take it. I had a colonoscopy a little over six months later, and there was no cancer. I continue to have an examination every year and there is no cancer at all. I don't know if essiac tea is a miracle or what, but it seemed to have done the trick for me. I continue to take the maintenance dose and it gives me incredible piece of mind that I am purging my body of the toxins that may lead to more cancer. Thank you for providing this product. I sincerely feel that I owe my life to it."

I was also told that many times cancer in animals reoccurs, so I was hoping I could do something preventive in nature, whether or not I decided to proceed with surgery for him.

Meanwhile, I met with the surgeon to discuss my options. I decided to put off the surgery for the time being and see if the essiac tea made a difference. My main hope was to keep Charlie's quality of life at this stage. lam happy to report that he Is doing wonderfully! The tumor is reducing in size and Charlie has only been on the essiac for two months. He has begun to play again and his appetite is much better. I am confident that his situation will continue to improve as long as we continue with the essiac tea. This improves the spirits of everyone in my household, as me and my husband are in our 70s and having Charlie around really boosts our spirits.

Julie W., Arizona April 2, 2005 I have been using the four herbs for three years now. I just now found out about the eight herb essiac and want to see if it works better for me. I am alive now because of essiac.

My doctors had me undergo surgery, chemo, and radiation, but it didn't stop the cancer. They recommended that I go through all of it again. I just couldn't face that, though. I decided to try essiac tea and everything got better. So I stopped the tea thinking everything would be fine, but the cancer grew back. I had no energy and so much pain. As long as I stay on the tea my tumors shrink and I feel much better. I am hoping the eight herb essiac is even more effective for me.

After 6 weeks of being on the aggressive treatment for essiac I put the diabetic “paper” or lab results (5.6) to the ultimate test. I fasted all day (for scriptural reasons) w/water only, Not only did I not get the shakes from skipping meals or go into a hypoglycemic state, I didn't get hungry!

Jay, Massachusetts January 2005 “I'm writing because my attorney (a good friend of mine) suggested that I take essiac tea, The doctors found a growth on my skin that appears not to be cancerous, but I'm not taking any chances. He affirmed that I should use essiac containing eight herbs, not the four-herb tea that is more commonly found. He recommended that I come to this site, as you people have been very helpful and the price is right. I guess he's been pointing a lot of people your way.

I am optimistic because my friend's wife was at one point diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer that had metastasized to the liver, and now It's been five years and she is alive and well. Granted, she was on chemotherapy at the same time she took the essiac. She began the chemo December 1999 and the essiac in February 2000. By April 2000 her condition had become stable, which was realistically the best they could hope for at the time.

She continues to maintain relatively good health and although the tumors are still present, her condition is definitely stable and she generally feels well. Her husband switched to your eight-herb essiac when he found your website last month. He says that your herbs seem to be fresher than any he's received before and his wife feels better than ever. I'm looking forward to trying the tea and hope it can do for me what It appears to be doing for so many others. At this point in my life (45) I am well aware of the need for preventive treatment, even if I am "healthy" for the time being.” Christine L., Nevada Intrigued?

Irecently entered into a settlement with the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) regarding advertising claims for Essiac Tea. This product was sold on the Premium-essiac-tea-4less website. The settlement with the FTC does not constitute an admission that I have violated the law. As part of the settlement, however, I agreed to send you the following information prepared by the FTC about the scientific evidence on these products. Very little scientific research has been done concerning Essiac tea as a treatment or cure for cancer or any other disease in humans. The scientific studies that have been done do not demonstrate that Essiac tea, or any of the ingredients in this product, is effective when used as a treatment for cancer or any other disease. It is very important that you talk to your doctor or health care provider before using any alternative or herbal product, including Essiac tea. Speaking with your doctor is important to make sure that all aspects of your medical treatment work together.

JENKS Analysis to Aid Public Comment ANALYSIS OF CONSENT ORDER TO AID PUBLIC COMMENT The Federal Trade Commission has accepted, subject to final approval, an agreement containing a consent order from Daryl C. Jenks, individually, and d/b/a Premium Essiac Tea 4less (“respondent”).

The proposed consent order has been placed on the public record for thirty (30) days for reception of comments by interested persons. Comments received during this period will become part of the public record. After thirty (30) days, the Commission will again review the agreement and the comments received, and will decide whether it should withdraw from the agreement or make final the agreement's proposed order.

This matter concerns the advertising and promotion of a product known as Premium Essiac Tea, a powder for making a tea beverage that, according to its label, contains: burdock root, rhubarb root, sheep sorrel, slippery elm, watercress, blessed thistle, red clover, and kelp. The Commission's complaint charges that respondent claimed that Premium Essiac Tea was effective to treat, prevent or cure cancer and other serious diseases. The complaint alleges that respondent did not have a reasonable basis for this claim. The complaint also charges that respondent claimed that Premium Essiac Tea was clinically proven to be superior to other types of essiac tea. The complaint alleges that this claim was false. The proposed consent order contains provisions designed to prevent respondent from engaging in similar acts and practices in the future.

Part I requires respondent to have competent and reliable scientific evidence substantiating any claim that any covered product or service is effective in the treatment, cure or prevention of any disease or condition, or is superior to other similar products or services. A “covered product or service” is defined as any food, dietary supplement or drug, including, but not limited to any VOLUME 144 Analysis to Aid Public Comment essiac tea product; or any health-related product, service or program. Part II requires that any future claim about the absolute or comparative benefits, performance, efficacy, safety or side effects of any covered product or service be truthful and supported by competent and reliable scientific evidence. Part III of the consent order prohibits the misrepresentation of the results of any test, study or research in connection with the advertising, promotion or sale of any covered product or service. Part IV of the proposed order provides that the order does not prohibit respondent from making representations for any drug that are permitted in labeling for the drug under any tentative or final Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) standard or under any new drug application approved by the FDA; and representations for any product that are specifically permitted in labeling for that product by regulations issued by the FDA under the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990.

Part V.A. of the proposed order requires respondent to provide a list of all purchasers of Premium Essiac Tea to the Commission. Part V.B. requires respondent to mail to each purchaser a letter describing the scientific evidence related to essiac tea. Part V.C. prohibits respondent from providing any identifying information about his purchasers to anyone other than a law enforcement agency or as required by law.

Parts VI though IX of the proposed order require respondent to keep copies of relevant advertisements and materials that substantiate claims made in the advertisements; to provide copies of the order to certain of his employees; to notify the Commission of any changes in employment that might affect compliance obligations under the order; and to file compliance reports with the Commission. Part X provides that the order will terminate after twenty (20) years under certain circumstances. 721 DARYL C.
