I was diagnosed with an aggressive prostate cancer, gleason #7, PSA 27. Radiation and Lupron shots did not help, but PC Spes did! When it was no longer available, I changed to PCHOPE. This was 2002. I started with 4 a day, when PSA went below 1, I took 2 a day, when PSA went below 0.5, I took one a day. My oncologist tests my prostate with the finger every year. Has been flat, and no problems. I started all this in 2001, and to-day I am 86 years old, and in good health. In my opinion there is no difference between PC-spes and PC-hope.

It strikes me that there is a fairly strong possibility that this post is spam and that Fred (who may be a real person) did not post this himself. PC-Spes was an herbal combination formerly sold to treat PC. It was removed from the market when it was found to be occasionally contaminated with prescription HT drugs. PC-Hope is a similar product that is currently being sold. Just saying...

I tried PC Specs for a couple of years back in 2005 when my psa was rising. Had no effect on psa and discontinued it when my breasts started to get lumps and were tender. Later found out that it contained DES which is a prescription drug. Haven't heard much about it in the past few years except now.
Would not advise it for anyone.
