Link to herbs that help cleanse the lymphatic system:

Here’s what I put together the last couple of days and I am afraid all these links etc are TMI but hopefully you can glean things that look useful and you can try. Most herbs will be easily available nearby or online and I have a couple of links for those that may be harder to find.
For the TWS condition the liver and to some extent kidneys need some help since it was steroid drug that cause the condition, and both organs filter out toxins including drugs.
Liver: Cannot go wrong with milk thistle, barberry and yarrow are also good and help with inflammation and clearing the blood. TWS is a “heat” condition, so cooling herbs and foods are important.
Inflammtion: Turmeric is king and you cannot have too much. I would recommend at least 1 t. a day, as much as he can take - in food, mixed with drinks, in capsules, whatever. Turmeric powder is not expensive, and if you live where there is fresh turmeric root available, get some of that too. It can be grated and added to food like salads, sandwiches, mixed up with cooked food etc.
Burdock and the barberry mentioned above are also anti-inflammatory. Burdock is mild and can be used regularly, barberry is quite bitter and used in smaller amounts.
Blood cleansing is indicated, and these teas are cooling to the system and are either tasty or mild:
Lemongrass
Hibiscus
Red Clover
For clearing heat from blood Manjista has no equal. It is also specific for skin problems that are inflammatory and painful, itchy, red, etc. I would strongly advise getting some. Bulk is much cheaper.

One more herb that I would recommend, it is also cooling.
Gotu Kola Centella asiatica
Gotu Kola is an excellent rejuvenative for the mind and nervous system, promotes cellular regeneration, slows the aging process, and is useful in treating a wide variety of psychological and neurological disorders. It supports the adrenal glands and immune system, and purifies the nadis (subtle channels). One of the main herbs for revitalizing brain and nerve cells. Helps increase focus, memory and mental acuity, and helps balance right and left hemispheres of the brain.
Helpful for chronic skin diseases including psoriasis, wounds, cellulite, varicose veins, and dermatitis. Stimulates growth of hair, nails and connective tissues. Potential for helping with senility and Alzheimers. Helpful in periodic fevers, promotes circulation of the blood vessels of the skin and mucus membranes.
Additionally, I would recommend no sour or hot/spicy foods such as pickles, vinegar, lemons, cayenne or chilis, tomatoes, garlic. Cooked onions are okay but raw is very heating, chocolate is very “heating” to the body. Mild cooling foods are better, and milk is very good.
If you have any questions at all please ask.
This involves the possible anti-cancer therapeutics of a dog de-wormer called febendazole. Here is the Wikipedia paragraph on this matter.
Mebendazole (febendazole):
Several studies show mebendazole exhibits potent antitumor properties. MBZ significantly inhibited cancer cell growth, migration, and metastatic formation of adrenocortical carcinoma, both in vitro and in vivo. Treatment of lung cancer cell lines with MBZ caused mitotic arrest, followed by apoptotic cell death with the feature of caspase activation and cytochrome c release. MBZ induced a dose- and time-dependent apoptotic response in human lung cancer cell lines, and apoptosis via Bcl-2 inactivation in chemoresistant melanoma cells. The anti-cancer effect of mebendazole comes from preclinical studies and case reports.

In addition, here is an early {May, 2019} anecdotal web posting about fenbendazole titled Man Claims Cheap Dog Deworming Medicine Cured His Terminal Cancer
Here is another anecdotal posting apparently concerning the same individual but with more detail.
Here is an article in Nature dated 09 August, 2018 - Fenbendazole acts as a moderate microtubule destabilizing agent and causes cancer cell death by modulating multiple cellular pathways with some extensive technical clinical work lending support to the anecdotal claims.
