Ivermectin Squares Off in a New War on Cancer

Medical pioneers are putting their Covid treatment expertise to new uses. For two cancer patients, that meant 'complete clinical response.'

With this article, I begin what I hope will be a series of reports on the use of inexpensive generic drugs for the treatment of cancer. In one of the few good things to come out of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, a growing number of physicians who pioneered effective early treatments for Covid-19 is now attempting to learn if safe, off-patent drugs can also work for cancer. So far, results are promising for drugs like ivermectin, mebendazole, and metformin, and supplements like melatonin.

I will write about this emerging movement from the the conference in Phoenix of the Front Line Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance this weekend, where cancer care will be highlighted. (I’m on a panel on censorship Saturday; join me there or watch afterward online.) Here now is the story of one patient and what it may mean for others.

John Ross was fifty-one years old when he was diagnosed, after more than a year of discomfort and growing unwellness, with Stage 3B colon cancer. A three- to four-inch tumor had almost completely blocked and broken through the organ wall; his surrounding lymph nodes were enlarged and presumed cancerous.

In May 2023, Ross started the traditional treatments offered by mainstream medicine—simultaneous radiation and an oral chemotherapy. He did not tell his mainstream cancer doctors that he was also taking, among other things, the repurposed generic drug ivermectin. The drug was famously—and wrongly—vilified as a horse medication during Covid, though it was in reality a Nobel Prize-winning “wonder drug” with huge untapped potential.

Ross and Dr. Mollie James, a functional-medicine physician who oversaw his nontraditional treatment, are modern-day medical trailblazers who might change the way cancer is treated. If they and others in a growing effort are successful, cancer care will be less painful, more affordable, and—the greatest hope—more effective. Practicing in a suburb of St. Louis, Dr. James had used ivermectin and other therapies to successfully fight Covid-19. (I wrote about her treatment of her brother in January of 2022.) She is now taking what she learned in the pandemic and turning it to cancer.

In his quest for the best care, Ross, who lives in Prescott, Wisconsin, went to two major cancer centers in the Midwest. He underwent a battery of blood draws and diagnostic tests and consulted at least a dozen physicians. But only Dr. James found and treated, he said, a low magnesium level, a Vitamin D level that was acceptable but too low, Dr. James believed, for challenging cancer, and, most critically, severe thyroid dysfunction. Nobody had tested for this, he said.

“I don’t know how you are standing here today—I’ve never seen blood this bad,” Dr. James told Ross after his thyroid result came in. First, she said, “I want to get you as healthy as possible before treatment.” Starting three weeks before radiation and chemotherapy, Ross began, along with ivermectin, infusions of high-dose Vitamin C and glutathione; major auto-hemotherapy, also called ozone therapy; and hyperbaric oxygen therapy, along with supplements like high-dose melatonin.

In the ensuing nearly six weeks of radiation and chemotherapy, oncologists, and others caring for Ross remarked repeatedly on how well he was doing. “Even the (radiation) technician, at the last week of treatment, made comments how this is so abnormal to have somebody that wasn’t dealing with any of the burns or anything like that,” including hair loss, Ross recalled.

The clincher, however, came in Ross’s MRI and CT scans in July of 2023. After twenty-eight radiation and chemotherapy treatments and nearly three months of the ivermectin protocol, “Ninety percent of his tumor had turned fibrous, meaning into scar tissue,” Ross’s wife, Roxanne, told me. “And the lymph nodes were half the size,” John added. An oncologist’s report called that an “excellent response.”

Dr. Mollie James, the functional medicine physician who treated John Ross. Dr. James has seen this outcome twice in almost identical colon cancer cases. Both were men in their fifties with advanced lower colorectal disease. One patient, John Ross, went the traditional route as well as taking the path offered by Dr. James. The other patient, who declined an interview for this article, rejected mainstream medicine and went with ivermectin and assorted other therapies.

The outcome for both, Dr. James said: “Complete clinical response with no surgery.”

Sorry to hear that. I thought I read that ivermectin had limitations as far as the brain goes in humans so I checked it out again.

"First, ivermectin penetrates the mammalian brain poorly, so it does not exert any pharmacological effects via mammalian ligand-gated ion channels in the brain unless it is used at high, potentially toxic doses or the blood-brain barrier is functionally impaired." Pub Med

I suppose I should mention the over the counter antacid Cimetidine too has potent anticancer properties. Actualy there’s a whole slew of things I would take as adjuvant therapy if I were diagnosed with cancer, green tea extract ect.

Repurposing drugs in oncology — cimetidine as an anti-cancer agent
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4268104/

Cimetidine Inhibits Cancer Cell Adhesion to Endothelial Cells and Prevents Metastasis by Blocking E-selectin Expression1
https://aacrjournals.org/cancerres/article/60/14/3978/506449/Cimetidine-Inhibits-Cancer-Cell-Adhesion-to

Anti-neoplastic action of Cimetidine/Vitamin C on histamine and the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway in Ehrlich breast cancer
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-15551-6

And that’s just a small sample of the many studies.

I take 3mg most every night and it works like a charm for me. I don’t think that would qualify as a “high dose” for any type of cancer though.

I originally picked up on Melatonin from Dr. Berg a few years back as far as the anti oxidant properties go.

Fenbendazole, another dewormer, is an even more potent off-label cancer cure than Ivermectin. Its physiological effects on cancer cells have been well studied and can be found on Pubmed.

There have been many testimonies of spectacular cancer remission using fenbendazole. Joe Tippens is a good ressource to know more about this miracle cure, which as expected is ignored and smeared by the medical establishment.

Personnally, I am fit and have no cancer but I take it once a month as prophylaxy.

I got into researching Ivermectin early, starting in mid-2020.

Bought my first horse past when it was still just $4/tube. It’s $12 or $13 now.

For cardiovascular disease I would supplement vitamins D & K2 along with astaxanthin and a few other things.

I had a raging case of late-onset neurofibromatosis. I suppressed it with a meat and fat diet. When the diet caused me to get gout I was forced back onto other foods. The NF slowly started returning until I again arrested it, this time with low doses of ivermectin.

Like cancer, neurofibromatosis is a tumor disease which starts when cells invoke the RAS oncogene pathway. I swallowed 100ml of 1% injectable ivermectin daily for four weeks.

Nattokinase for one.

Along with that I would make sure your magnesium intake is sufficient. Adequate levels of folic acid & B12 to keep homocysteine levels down. Some fish or krill oil to help keep down inflammation levels in the body. Foods rich in nitrates like beetroot to keep blood vessels wide open.
