Editorial Reviews

Review

"People think of you as the guru of PC SPES. After reading your latest book, I can see why! The book is great!" -- A.L., Newark, NJ

"When I became hormone refractory, I thought everything was lost, but then I started reading Dr. Lewis' book on PC SPES. I went to one of the physicians mentioned in the book and started taking PC SPES. My PSA level went from 102 to 1.5 in three months! I owe my life to Dr. Lewis' book! -- A.B., Denver, CO

"Your new book on herbs includes everything I needed to know about PC SPES and more. The chapter on cell death was particularly interesting." -- W.L., Potomac, MD

5.0 out of 5 stars Prostate Cancer Hope, September 1, 2001

By 

Peter Kenney (Birmingham, Alabama, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: The Herbal Remedy for Prostate Cancer (Paperback)

The herbal remedy in the title refers to PC SPES which is a dietary supplement prepared from extracts of seven Chinese herbs and one concentrated American herb. Each herb is processed separately and then combined to yield a highly synergistic formula.

James Lewis is a prostate cancer survivor and a prolific author of books and other published materials on prostate cancer. His latest book represents an extremely thorough review of a fairly new treatment. The chapter on a prevention program for prostate cancer is outstanding. I highly recommend the book for anyone wishing to learn more about the prevention and treatment of the second leading cancer in men.

1.0 out of 5 stars No stars! PC-SPES killed people, September 10, 2004

By

This review is from: The Herbal Remedy for Prostate Cancer (Paperback)

(The rating system does not allow zero stars.)

PC-SPES was not "natural." It worked because it contained DES, a synthetic estrogen, which enlarged men's breasts, shrank their penises, and caused blood clots. To combat the blood clots, it contained warfarin, a synthetic blood thinner widely used as a rat poison. This caused men to bleed to death.

2.0 out of 5 stars PC SPES Treatment Hits A Snag., January 27, 2003

By 

Rosemary Brunschwyler (Homewood, Alabama, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Herbal Remedy for Prostate Cancer (Paperback)

James Lewis possesses an abundance of knowledge about prostate cancer and the bewildering array of treatments used to fight this disease. Evidence of the author's wisdom is found throughout THE HERBAL REMEDY FOR PROSTATE CANCER.

Unfortunately treatment using PC SPES has recently hit a huge snag. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned consumers to cease taking PC SPES because it contained undeclared prescription drug ingredients. As a result of this action by the FDA, the manufacturer of the product has gone out of business. PC SPES had been used with promising results by many prostate cancer patients who have since been left scrambling for alternative treatments. Many have tried other herbal or natural remedies while some others have turned to the more traditional medical option of hormones.
