A business out of Pompano Beach, Florida, promoting a pseudo-essiac under various labels and their numerous business entities and internet web sites is using scare tactics to keep Americans from purchasing the original Essiac formula from Canada.
They are trying to scare the American public into thinking if they import Essiac from Canada their parcels will be confiscated by USA customs and in addition, Americans "are either committing a crime or purchasing a counterfeit product, and is even fraudulent." This is false information and is only a scare tactic.
These pseudo-essiac business' are fabricating these scare tactics on an FDA Alert 66-64 which pertains to a former incident of a Canadian business making false medical claims. This Canadian company behaved irresponsibly and the FDA through US-Canadian International agreements with the Health Protection Board (HPB) of Canada rightfully took legal action against this business and closed it down. This is why authorized Essiac distributors have legal disclaimers on their web sites to conform to FDA and HPB legal advertising heath claims.
Only authorized Essiac distributors for Essiac Canada International are provided with Essiac Canada International's FDA business registration number and USA FDA import codes.
Essiac Canada International is legally registered with the
USA FDA
for legal imports into the United States.
