So far there are over 20 counterfeit products on the internet that are being marketed under the name of "essiac." Some of these products are even sold under different product names through various companies and internet web sites.
These pseudo-essiac products mushroomed on the internet when books and articles were published making claims to have Rene Caisse's original recipe and are now being used by marketers to produce these counterfeit products
Watch out for Rene Caisse historical web sites or cancer information web sites used only to retail pseudo-essiac products. Other web sites will try to mislead the consumer into thinking they are purchasing direct from the manufacturer or factory at discounted prices. Not so, as Essiac Canada International does not have a web site. The president, TP Maloney and his staff in Ottawa, Ontario are far too busy to deal with the public. This is why there are authorized Essiac distributors such as Praxea.com to help market Essiac world-wide.
Some businesses will retail Essiac just to lure consumers into their web site only to have them purchase very expensive "health cures." These web sites have very little regard to the history and benefits of Essiac.
