{The first part of the report was published in Part 9}.

My views are based on the knowledge acquired in the field of Animal and Clinical Medical Research. Just as the Forestry Engineer, the Mining Engineer, Geologist, Mineralogist etc., have to go out into the field to gain first-hand knowledge of what to look for and find, before he is fully qualified to do his work, so also did I go out into the field of Cancer Research and with the assistance and guidance of many medical men of high standing, work out and develop my discovery of " Essiac" beneficial treatment for this Dread disease.

It is my opinion that the cancer situation will never be resolved as long as too much power is left in the hands of too few.

I believe just as there are chain reactions in the nerve system and circulatory system, so also is there a chain reaction in the glandular system which connects and stimulates all of the glands (of discovered and undiscovered origin) into normal functioning.

For almost eight years I conducted an open clinic in Bracebridge, Ontario where I administered " Essiac" injections for cancer to Hundreds of patients each week, who came to me with a written diagnosis from their doctors. During this time many, many doctors, surgeons, and scientists visited my clinic, read case histories, examined patients and watched me administer " Essiac" treatments.

So many of these doctors gave as their opinion that my treatments acted upon all glands of the body.

This coincided with the statement made many years ago by Dr F J Banting of insulin fame who was reviewing the work I had done with the first nine doctors who asked me to treat patients under their observation. I was nursing at that time and had to treat these patients in my time off from work. At that time nurses had to work 12 hours a day, so I only had my two hour rest period or my evenings to give to this work.

There was one case which interested Dr Banting particularly as she was a diabetic, as well as a cancer patient. Dr J A McInnis of Timmins, Ontario asked me to treat this patient for him under his observation. He was at that time administering large doses of insulin to Mrs C.

Not knowing what effect Essiac would have on a patient taking insulin, I did not want to give Essiac injections along with the insulin. So Dr McInnis said he would discontinue the insulin and I should give the Essiac for a time. If the diabetic condition got worse, he would go back to insulin. To our surprise the diabetic condition improved with the Essiac injections and continued to improve until there wasn't any diabetes at all.
