A most amazing story comes from a small town in Canada, about a nurse who discovered a beneficial treatment for cancer, which she names ESSIAC (Caisse spelled backwards). Miss Caisse states that she was naive enough to think she could accumulate enough proof so that her treatment would be acceptable to the medical profession, believing, of course, that the cancer organizations were really looking for a cure for this dread disease.

But the more proof she succeeded in producing, the more determined they were that it should not be made available to suffering humanity, so she went on helping and healing for years, without aid. They could not discredit her work, and she ran an open cancer clinic for eight years, in Bracebridge, Ontario.

Doctors came from all parts of the world and were amazed at her success; she treated hundreds of patients, during four days each weekend.  The more successful she was, the more adamant the cancer groups became, but she never gave up hope that some day, somehow, her treatment would be made available to all who needed it.

The reasons why she was not put in prison for running an open "Cancer Clinic" at Bracebridge for eight years were:

1. She achieved good results in animal research, under the observation of medical doctors. The treatments caused a regression of the malignant growth in the mice, and prolonged life.

2. Because she achieved the same results on humans, always treating with the permission of medical professionals of good standing, and under their observation.

3. Because she had clinical x-ray and pathological proof of results, after everything known to medical science had failed.

4. Because fifty-five thousand (55000) persons signed a petition to the Ontario government legislature in favor of her cancer treatments. 387 patients, and many doctors signed this same petition, which was presented to a legislative committee of 59 members of Parliament.  She lost out by only 3 votes! She lost out because the doctors had assured the legislature beforehand that they would appoint a "Cancer Commission" to hear her case, and to give her treatment a fair hearing which proved to be a very unfair hearing as you will see by this story.
