Original Message I want you to tell me what is wrong with the following situation shown in
this article. Answer these questions for me when you are done reading:

Exactly why was PC SPES taken off the market?

What health risks did it pose that were worse than chemotherapy or having
cancer for that matter?

Did you notice that they admit that it worked to reduce cancer in at least 1/3
of the patients that tried it?

Did you notice the very fishy excuse, “taken off the market because of
undeclared prescription drugs”?

Here is the article:

Prostate Cancer Herbal Remedy Taken Off Market
From Cathy Wong, N.D.,
Your Guide to Alternative Medicine.

Contaminated with undeclared prescription drugs
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned consumers to stop taking
the dietary supplement/herbal product PC SPES and SPES because they contain
undeclared prescription drug ingredients that could cause serious health
effects if not taken under medical supervision. In February 2002, BotanicLab,
the California-based manufacturer of the product, voluntarily recalled PC SPES
and SPES nationwide. Subsequently, on June 1, 2002, BotanicLab officially
closed.

PC SPES is a capsule that is marketed for "prostate health" and SPES is a
capsule marketed as an immune enhancer.

Advice to Consumers

Safety is a concern for users of these products. The FDA and the manufacturer
have both advised consumers to discontinue the use of these products
immediately.

PC-SPES, a herbal preparation consisting of eight herbs, was being explored as
a potential treatment for patients who do not respond to traditional hormone
cancer therapy. Currently, limited treatment options exist for such patients,
who generally have a poor prognosis and median survival of about one year.
Approximately one third of patients who fail to respond to chemotherapy for
prostate cancer subsequently respond to PC-SPES.

The University of California at San Francisco, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer
Center, and Johns Hopkins University were conducting clinical research on the
use of PC-SPES for prostate cancer.

Commercially available since November 1996, PC-SPES is a proprietary
combination of eight herbs: Isatis indigotica, Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Panax
pseudoginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, Scutellaria baicalensis, Dedranthema
morifolium, Rabdosia rubescens, and Seronoa repens.

The herbs in PC-SPES were reported to stimulate the immune system and have anti-
tumor activity. PC-SPES also appeared to have estrogen-like activity in the
body. Estrogen has been used as a conventional treatment for prostate cancer to
kill cancer cells.

In a study conducted by the University of California at San Francisco and
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, PC-SPES therapy reduced prostate
specific antigen (PSA), a marker for prostate cancer, in 50% of patients with
hormone resistant prostate cancer. In addition, levels of an enzyme called
prostate acid phosphatase (PAP), commonly elevated in hormone resistant
prostate cancer, decreased and improvements on bone scans were noted.

My notes:
What in the hell is wrong with the FDA? This product WORKS and was shut down.
WHY?!!!!
And the article heading notes the BS and not the facts!
This is what we are up against, corrupt drugs companies shut down successful
things like this every month!
