Perhaps you have already seen postings here for a few years about fenbendazole, a dog de-worming medicine - I am told available at Tractor Supply without Dr or Vet prescription and cheap. I posted on this back around the time COVID started. The National Institutes of Health does not seem overly supportive but there is much internet buzz about it.

There is a reformulation of fenbendazole more effective in humans, Mebendazole; that requires a prescription and may be a bit more expensive. Wikipedia says of Mebendazole:

Several studies show mebendazole exhibits potent antitumor properties. mebendazole 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 mebendazole caused mitotic arrest, followed by apoptotic cell death with the feature of caspase activation and cytochrome c release. Mebendazole 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

Obviously there is no endorsed set science. The furor started when a Joe Tippens published a magazine article about 2018 about curing a diagnosed terminal lung cancer case. I have the original article on my main computer but cannot access it from my tablet or find it in a search. However, here is a link to his personal web page.

I know of no one on FR who has reported trying the remedy with success, although it has received considerable attention. I can only add that it is a cheap dog de-worming med and not likely to cause any harm. Someone facing terminal outcomes to their infection would seem to have little to lose.

Good luck and God bless!

Thanks so much for the link. I am considering these alternate treatments if or when the cancer returns. Since I do not want to be caught unaware, all information is appreciated.

If I listen, God will tell me the path to take. My philosophy through this entire experience has been “if I live here on earth that would be great, but if I die and am removed from earth..I will REALLY live!
