A Doctor Testifies
The Testimony of Dr. Benjamin Leslie Guatt, Final Witness at the Cancer Commission Hearing, March 1939, Toronto:
"During the past three years it has been my privilege to observe in the Caisse clinic the work of Nurse Caisse, whose enthusiasm, endurance and optimism have been an inspiration to me. On checking authentic cancer cases, hemorrhage was readily brought under control in many difficult cases. Open lesions of lip and breast responded to treatment; cancer of the cervix, rectum and bladder were caused to disappear; and patients with cancer of the stomach, diagnosed by reputable physicians and surgeons, have returned to normal activity. It impressed me.
"The cheerfulness and optimism of treated patients in the waiting room fascinated me. Distorted countenances became normal and pain reduced as treatment proceeded; pain in these cases is difficult to control.
I have witnessed a treatment that brings about restoration through destroying tumor tissues and supplying that `something’ which improves the mental outlook and re-establishes proper physiological function. It is my privilege to do all in my power to bring cancer sufferers this remedy, Essiac, which has brought relief and restored health to many in the past."
Dr. Guyatt testified at this hearing not as a cancer patient, but as a courageous physician. As curator of the anatomy department at Toronto University, he took the meaning of the Hippocratic oath very seriously. His words summed up the feelings of all the eminent doctors who had bravely penned their signatures to petitions which requested Ottawa’s National Health and Welfare Department recognize Essiac’s efficacy and the right for Nurse Caisse to officially treat cancer patients.
