SPES, which means "hope" in Latin, is a concentrated and highly purified Chinese herbal preparation that can, at the very least, greatly improve the quality of life for people with terminal cancer. All of the following SPES products are made by Botaniclab (see Resources). The benefits of SPES as an effective herbal formula for those with cancer include the following: |

1. Provides fast (twenty-four to forty-eight hours) and effective relief from cancer-associated pain and is more effective than morphine, which often elicits many adverse side effects, such as drug dependency, respiratory depression, decreased mental alertness, constipation, and, most of all, a suppression of the vital force. SPES is able to relieve pain by reducing B-endorphinlike substances in cerebrospinal fluid and serum, decreasing monamines, and increasing ACT levels. Results obtained from a clinical trial carried out in Shanghai Hospital and involving twenty-two terminally ill patients with various diseases confirmed that SPES significantly reduces the discomfort caused by cancer without having any adverse effects.

5. Is cytotoxic to many cancer-cell lines, in particular, liver tumors. Suppression of the oncogene N-ras mRNA may completely reverse the cancerous condition. Hepatoma cells are known to overexpress N-ras mRNA. SPES can suppress the transcription of the N-ras gene and effectively enter into the nucleus and cause hepatoma cell lysis, the process of disintegration or dissolution of cells. |
