| more sensitive to other antitumor agents. This is being further investigated at the Cancer Research Institute. |
| I personally have been working with PC SPES and SPES for the last few years and I believe that they are the two most exciting products for the treatment of cancer I have ever seen. PC SPES, along with a few other supplements and some diet modifications, can be, I believe, a complete cure for prostate cancer, at least for the majority of men. |
| Mainstream treatments for prostate cancer at this time center around prostatectomy, radiation therapy, or androgen deprivation. I am not convinced that prostatectomy or radiation are curative in metastatic or local prostate cancer. Androgen deprivation, which involves giving combination hormone therapy (CHT) to block the production of testosterone, is partially successful at controlling, not curing, prostate cancer in a significant number of cases. |
| PC SPES can induce programmed cell death from a number of directions, including an androgen-antagonist effect brought about by certain plantlike hormones found in the formula. |
| PC SPES can be taken without CHT treatment, or in addition to CHT treatment, especially if CHT is no longer controlling the cancer. I would prefer it to be tried without CHT, resorting to the use of CHT only after all natural treatments have stopped working (which, according to my experience, is highly unlikely). |
| Hepastat |
| Hepastat, also made by Botaniclab (see Resources), is a concentrated herbal preparation similar to the traditional Chinese formula Minor Bupleurum (Xiao Chai Hu Tang). This formula has been found extremely effective in treating hepatitis C. It is also effective at inhibiting cancer by enhancing the immune system, by inducing apoptosis, and by inhibiting angiogenesis. It has been shown to increase the effectiveness of the standard chemotherapeutic drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). It is most useful in breast and liver cancers but can also be used to treat colon cancer. I sometimes use this formula to detox chemotherapy; for example, cisplatin causes oxidative stress and can cause glutathione depletion. I usually suggest 3 capsules one to two times daily. |
