Essiac Tea and Tarceva

[cammfam4]

Does anyone use this tea and are on Tarceva? I hear its good for liver detox but I know Tarceva is a toxin that I need to keep my cancer at bay. I want to keep my body as healthy as possible but unsure about this tea. Any suggestions?

Hi Cammfam4,

Great question. I would suggest calling 1-877-827-2382 - you can talk to a nurse and ask that question - it is a hotline for Tarceva. Good luck!

Well, I am sorry! Thanks for trying, though. Hope your doctor is able to help!

I was told by my Dr not to do any form of detox while under treatment as it makes the treatment less effective. Something to discuss with your Dr........

Thanks I agree, I have heard both ways that it could and that it is safe so its very confusing.

Essiac is a useless product. It's "Cassie" name spelled backwards, and could be dangerous. The FDA has a black box warning that no one should ever use Eassiav=c for anything! Check out the FDA list of so-called "alternative" treatments- and substances--they list al the fake and dangerous ones!
