Thats great. Wonderful.

Do you have idea what the attack on Menbendazole and Fenbendazole by Dr. Colleen Huber are all about? She is absolutely against these. Why?

Cancer & Metabolic Healing's avatar

Mebendazole is one of 4 drugs in the Care Oncology protocol which has been demonstrated to double life expectancy of patients with glioblastoma and one of the most successful repurposed drug protocols. According to our 5-axis metabolic pressure model mebendazole should never be used alone but combined with other repurposed drugs and nutraceuticals that act via alternate pathways. If you block one pathway the cancer cell is metabolically flexible enough to make ATP via alternative pathways.

No standard cancer treatment is cost effective. It is the glaring obvious feature of western medicine.

Show me the incentive and I will show you the outcome”. Charlie Munger used this term as it pertains to the investing world. It is interesting that it fits equally well to describe how the medical cartel operates.

The profit motive being the primary driver of what treatment the average person will receive with a cancer diagnosis.

Dr. Colleen Huber definitely does Not recommend fenbendazole or mebendazole. See her article at natureworksbest.

“while normal cells are weakened by these drugs’ β-tubulin protein binding mechanism, cancer cells mutate in such a way as to make themselves resistant to the drugs’ effects. This process has the result of leaving normal cells weaker and leaving cancer cells stronger."

and:

“The trouble with the prior exposure of cancer cells to this mild chemo, fenbendazole, removes the vinca alkaloids and taxanes from future treatment options, because of prior exposure to that mechanism.

Our clinic has never recommended chemotherapy in our near 20-year history, and I have not yet met a patient who seemed to benefit from it.

But full disclosure of the -azole drugs consequences should include that information.”

You beat me to it – I was just reading this piece coincidentally as well!

Thank you, Dr. Marik, for detailing the pathways through which mebendazole acts. I've heard other doctors mention the potential successful use of mebendazole for cancer suppression.

The future of cancer treatment must change because chemotherapy poisoning and radiation burning techniques aren't adequate for all cancers.  Changing one's diet and lifestyle, along with repurposed drugs, chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery for cancer treatment, makes more sense to me.

My two sons attended top medical schools in the US.  One of my sons is currently disillusioned by what he was taught in medical school and is now leaning toward functional medicine.

A cure is a bad business model!!!

When a patient receives a known effective cancer therapy and then improves, can you ethically tell that story as evidence that an unproven alternative treatment caused the response?

At minimum, you have to disclose the standard treatment.

In Joe Tippens’ case, and in many other stories like this, he received immunotherapy, a treatment known to produce deep and sometimes durable responses in lung cancer.

That does not prove fenbendazole played no role. But it absolutely means you cannot honestly present the case as proof that fenbendazole caused the response.

Otherwise, readers are being led toward the wrong conclusion.

I see this pattern too often in cancer writing. The standard treatment gets minimized, buried, or left out entirely, while the alternative therapy gets credited for the outcome.

Patients deserve the whole story. Especially when they are scared, vulnerable, and trying to make decisions that could affect their lives.

Further to the Tippins case, he was the only patient (1 survivor) to survive of the the hundreds of patients in the clinical trial treated with the expensive designer drugs at MD Anderson Cancer Center.... one wonders why.

Daniel Flora, MD's avatar

I have dozens of patients alive and well 5+ years with metastatic lung cancer after immunotherapy. The drug he was on now has FDA approval and is helping 10s of thousands of patients as a “standard of care” because of clinical trials like the one at MD Anderson.

Cancer & Metabolic Healing's avatar

This post is 100% scientifically correct. I can’t tell you how many patients we see who have horribly failed “standard of Care” and have been LIED to their oncologists. It is not worth my time arguing about this. Most oncologists work for big Pharma and NOT the patients.. there is no doubt about this either. An interesting survey was done of oncologists who were asked if they want to receive chemotherapy for their lung cancer ..”74% of doctors would refuse chemotherapy for their own cancer treatment and would instead use alternative real cancer cures for themselves.”… doctors cite chemotherapy as unacceptably cytotoxic and the 5 year survival rate is only 2.1%”. Data published on oncology peer review journal report that the era of precision oncology has extended life expectancy by a total of 3.4 months. Further, oncologist base their treatment on the “somatic mutation theory” which has been totally debunked.. so please show some common courtesy and respect and dont talk to be about being irresponsible. ..

My mother’s oncologist lied to her about the side effects of her pancreatic cancer chemo drugs. I will never forget that. And they do it shamelessly and to your face. Even his nurse tried to get my mother not to do it but she believed the doc as that generation did. As a result I will never do chemo ever if I get one of those diagnoses. This is the only kind of treatment I will take if that happens. The field of Medicine is falling apart for a reason

Yesss! 🙌 (I won’t go into my personal journey details here - but, I am recalcitrant enough now after witnessing my brother’s death after two cancers, and MANY issues with “standard of care” going back years to current with MANY folks I knew - they have died - that I applaud & appreciate so much your writings, research, & careful & cautious, but also seriously investigative approach, Dr Marik.

I can no longer trust the U.S. Medical System & their cancer treatments “ standard of care” & protocols.)

Cancer & Metabolic Healing's avatar

What are you talking about.

Cancer & Metabolic Healing's avatar

Thanks my dear. We all understand and agree with you.

Repurposed Oncology's avatar

Characterizing tumor response as a binary outcome generated exclusively by standard immunotherapy overlooks the well documented sensitization pathways induced by concomitant microtubule disruption.A rigorous mechanistical analysis confirms that benzimidazole compounds directly target alternative metabolic survival channels thereby preventing the standard therapeutic resistance mechanisms frequently observed during isolated clinical interventions.Dismissing these synergistic pharmacological dynamics fails to recognize how metabolic multi target stabilization actively enhances long term cellular vulnerabilities within aggressive oncological frameworks.

Daniel Flora, MD's avatar

Not dismissing anything. Just want a more honest presentation from the author. Patients deserve the entire story.

Repurposed Oncology's avatar

To show patients the full story, we cannot isolate standard immunotherapy from metabolic therapies, as true survival comes from combining these treatments to work together.

Daniel Flora, MD's avatar

I think then you agree with my point?

Repurposed Oncology's avatar

Not exactly, because Dr. Marik correctly emphasizes that metabolic therapies are the missing piece most oncologists completely ignore instead of integrating.

Daniel Flora, MD's avatar

Don’t you think it would be more productive to collaborate and use our collective experience? His writing implies oncologists are not interested in metabolic approaches which is not true. ASCO is next weekend and it will include 100s of abstracts on this topic. Denigrating oncologists as pawns of pharma only separates us further from helping patients.

John Day MD's avatar

Thank You, Dr. Marik. I have forwarded this to a friend who has integrated (similar) fenbendazole into his prostate cancer treatment, for his interest, and I’ll include it in my next blog post, as I often do

Ivermectin is contraindicated if you have ahrrythmias, at least in high doses. It can lengthen the QT interval, causing cardiac arrest.

One of the best ways to support someone with cancer is to provide food that doesn’t fuel the cancer. Medical schools are standardized on purpose by the corporations that fund them. Med students are on purpose not even taught that sugar is what fuels cancer. We’ve known this for a 100 years. https://wavesandpositions.substack.com/p/they-knew-cancer-ate-sugar-they-gave

Which cancers? Does Mebendazole have a role in treating multiple myeloma, MDS-EB2, or Invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast?

Thank you. I look forward to your reply.

Cancer & Metabolic Healing's avatar

Mebendazole acts primarily on interfering with cell division so theoretically it should inhibit almost all cancer cells. However, It should never be taken alone, if you block one pathway the malignant cell is flexible and smart enough to use alternative pathways.. or develop resistance to that drug.

My brother took the following protocol after a year of traditional chemotherapy, following his multiple myeloma stage 4 diagnosis (which killed our father after a 7 year battle). During the year of chemo, he lost half of his 215 lbs and had multiple vertebrae surgeries as his spine was collapsing. At 68 years old, he couldn't get out of a chair on his own. After 3 mos on the following protocol, his oncologist could find no signs of cancer. A few weeks later, he started working (physical labor) again. Nearly two years later, he's cancer free, still working and feels better than before he got cancer (most days).

- Fenbendazole 222mg per day with food (originally 3 days on, 4 days off)

- Ivermectin 12mg per day (4 days on and 3 days off)

- 2,000mg of high quality Vitamin C daily

- Curcumin 600mg per day

- CBD Oil: 25mg sublingually per day

- Vitamin E: 800IU per day

May I ask where your brother purchased his Ivermectin and Fenbendazole? What brand are these medications? I have been taking this regimen for five months, yet the disease still progressed. Therefore, I suspect the poor quality of the Indian tablets I used may be the cause.

Thanks Doc, for a veritable public service and charitable act. Publishing the truth and helping people is a noble enterprise.

Cancer & Metabolic Healing's avatar

Thanks for your kind comments.

Problem with numerous squamous cell skin cancers. Surgery and MOHs overwhelming in past. Any success with ivermectin paste as an alternative?

Cancer & Metabolic Healing's avatar

I am not sure that there is enough data. However, it may be worth a shot. This is the ONLY time I would combine with DMSO.. topically of course. If one gets no respond then one should resort to surgery.

Thomas West's avatar

Thanks Paul. i’m about 3 weeks into a 2x/day 6 week experiment. 4 biopsy confirmed. One has disappeared and 3 others have scabbed over after not healing for a long time. Will update you. Haven’t tried DMSO but will try if this experiment doesn’t work on all .

I look back at our dinner together with great respect for you. Hope you are doing well.

Cancer & Metabolic Healing's avatar

Thanks. Keep me updated.

Is it reccomended to take Prophylactically? If so, at what dose?

Cancer & Metabolic Healing's avatar

Please see our ROOTS protozoic which will be posted soon. Mebendazole is only rec commended in ROOTS 9 which is for very high risk patients.

David Modglin's avatar

Wouldn't you consider anyone who took the cv19 jabs high risk?

Cancer & Metabolic Healing's avatar

That’s a difficult question to answer. One would have to prophylaxis 60-80% of the worlds population. I would suspect that if the Jabee has cleared spike protein i.e has no circulating spike protein the risk would be lower. So based on the little information we have, I would prophylaxis someone with circulating spike protein.
