Guest guest Posted May 19, 2000 Report Share Posted May 19, 2000 Recently on ABC news, apparently, there was a segment on a Chinese herb formula which some M.D.s are beginning to use for prostate cancer. I've had a few inquiries about it, but have no idea what formula or herbs are involved, though I could guess. The formula was called PS Spec on the TV. Does anyone know what herbs are in it? Of course, I realize that this borders on using Chinese herbs in an allopathic way, if the particular manifestion is not differentiated, but I would like to know nonetheless. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2000 Report Share Posted May 19, 2000 PS-Spec was found in one trial (link below) to possess potent estrogenic effects, in the same range as estradiol. Because no plant constituent has ever been identified that has effects in this range (most have less than 1/1000 the effect) one might speculate that the formula contains covert pharmaceutical ingredients. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov:80/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve & db=PubMed & list_uid\ s=9738085 & dopt=Abstract -- Paul Bergner Editor, Medical Herbalism Clinical Program Director, Rocky Mountain Center for Botanical Studies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2000 Report Share Posted May 19, 2000 this " herb formula " causes breast enlargment and impotence in almost 100% of cases. It is most definitely a drug.
