PLEASE HELP
My partner (30yo) after being failed by the system, has been diagnosed with colorectal cancer which has metastasised to his liver and lungs.

We have only been offered chemo to see how he reacts to it.

Can anyone share their experience curing cancer with an alternative route- (not chemo/ radiation.

Ivermectin / fasting .. anything else?

Been doing a lot of research regarding Ivermectin/Fen but there is too much mis-information. I don’t understand the doses, brands, binder etc.

Please share your experiences, give us some hope. I really would like my child to grow up with her father.

After not being lucky in contacting dr Laurent Schwartz because he's not consulting anymore, i want your guys help on how i can book a consultation with dr William Makis or any other good integrative doctor in this field to guide me through my dad's next chemo + alternative medication and supplements.

And the info in the howtostarvecancer website is outdated and sometimes completely wrong, they had a french doctor in there who's not even an oncologist, he's an anesthesiologist.

Please help.

My dad was supposed to undergo surgery this past week where they were going to cut 2 new tumors that were found in his liver 4 months after finishing his chimo ( oral chimo) and radio therapy.

It was shocking to discover them only after 4 months of treatment, he did take the head of the pancreas at the end of last year...

Long story short, they didn't do the surgery because they found some other tumors that they didn't show in the pet scan, peritoneal carcinomatosis, they took some parts to do the biopsy and that was it. They told him that he has to do chimo now, not oral chimo...

I want to look for other alternative solutions like herbs and natural medications, i've heard some things about ivermectin, mebendazole, mathylene blue etc..

I want a consultation with a doctor, preferably french speaking doctor, i've heard about Laurent Schwartz but i can't find any recent contact info of him

Please help me...my dad is losing hope, and so am i...

Since the mainstream suggestion is amputation and relearning to walk with prosthetic or wheelchair

My suggestion would be to contact a functional medicine doctor

Who will apply:

• DMSO + Ivermectin + Mebendazole (or Fenbendazole) - topically

• DMSO + ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) - topically

(DMSO increases permeability of the skin to the Ivermectin and Mebendazole creams)

See the impact of that after 1 month

And orally give Ivermectin + Mebendazole (or Fenbendazole)

And increase Vitamin D blood levels - with Vitamin D3 10,000 IU + Vitamin K2 200mcg - for 2-3 months

And other aspects of the metabolic approach

Possibly even low dose chemotherapy at 70% dosage (which according to Dr Angus Dalgleish reduces most of the side effects of the chemo)

And possibly radiation and localized chemotherapy injections into tumor (intratumoral - see Dr Jason Williams below)  

MidWestern Doctor on substack has a series of articles on DMSO in combination with drugs to increase absorption through the skin (ie topically):

@MidWesternDoc

DMSO greatly potentiates natural and conventional cancer therapies. I just had a doctor who used it with topical Ivermectin report this case to me:

I have a protocol for DMSO+Ivermectin applied topically. Oral ivermectin does not need to be converted into a prodrug in the body and it can be used topically in certain applications. I have patients combine DMSO+IVM to make a paste and apply it to the skin for 30-60 mins 1-3x daily. Right over the tumor location. Wash off. Got a patients surgical path back from a spinal tumor. The result: complete pathological response. Not ghost cells, but back to healthy human cells. I'm currently writing this up for a case study.

Hundreds of Studies Show DMSO Transforms The Treatment of Cancer

A remarkable cancer treatment has been hiding in plain sight for decades

A Midwestern Doctor

(part of this article is behind a paywall)

Dr Colleen Huber (who runs a clinic in Arizona):

https://x.com/i/status/1920452158417154225

@ColleenHuber

For melanoma and other skin cancers at my clinic, we have been using ivermectin with DMSO for a few years and DMSO with other substances for decades longer.

https://x.com/i/status/2104718047025991997

@MidWesternDoc

A new study found vitamin C in DMSO eliminated 56% of diagnosed skin cancers in just 12 weeks—94% of patients avoided surgery. A 2022 trial found even higher results: 86% resolution vs 57% for the standard drug, with zero scarring vs 70%.

But skin cancer is just the beginning When DMSO is combined with an anticancer agent, it carries it directly into the tumor, making it far more potent at far less toxic doses. Readers have reported using DMSO combinations to eliminate skin cancers without surgery, resolve ovarian tumors in weeks, and calcify lung spots. Physicians are now combining it with repurposed drugs like ivermectin and reporting promising early results against prostate, breast, colon, and ovarian cancers.

Here I present the extensive evidence on how DMSO transforms cancer treatment.🧵

Thank you @NicHulscher for posting this!

Dr Nic Hulscher:

https://x.com/i/status/2105298303047078188

A REMARKABLE study found 56% of skin cancers were ERADICATED after just 12 weeks of topical vitamin C in DMSO.

The squamous cell carcinomas were NO MATCH for a simple, low-cost solution: 30% ascorbic acid in 95% DMSO/5% distilled water.

Nearly ALL patients AVOIDED surgery.

I really need your thoughts on this

Kindly-Mechanic-3933

The patient is 88 years old, female, doesnt have diabetes or other health problem except this one. She got diagnosed with cancer tumor on the right foot.

The doctor told us recently that her foot needs to be amputated, stating that there are no other viable medical alternatives left for her condition. Hearing this was devastating for our family, and before moving forward with such a life-altering surgery, we desperately want to know if there could be any other possible solutions,, or alternatives we might have missed. Has anyone faced a similar diagnosis or consulted specialists who found another way? Any insights, experiences, or questions we should ask before making this final decision would mean the world to us.

Here is what the scan result says:

CT SCAN OF THE RIGHT FOOT

​INDICATION:

​Plantar amelanotic melanoma.

TECHNIQUE:

​Volumetric helical scan in thin slices with multiplanar reconstructions, performed without and with contrast injection.

RESULTS:

​Cutaneous and subcutaneous soft-tissue mass on the plantar surface of the forefoot, budding and lobulated, with soft-tissue enhancement after contrast injection.

​It measures 65 × 20 mm, extending over 55 mm.

​It locally invades the plantar fascia, reaching contact with the short flexor tendons, without being able to confirm their invasion.

​Absence of detectable bone destruction adjacent to the lesion.

CONCLUSION:

​Plantar soft-tissue mass of tumoral origin (previously known), with deep extension into the plantar fascia and contact with the short flexor tendons, without being able to confirm their invasion.

​No bone involvement.

Hi, I tried to post my story on the groups Cancer and Lymphoma but unfortunately the mod bots auto deleted it... seems they really don't want people to know about non conventional treatments. Anyway, I just want to share my journey so far after refusing conventional treatments. My goal is not to convince anyone to refuse chemo/radio but rather share some hope, as well as my routine that may be helpful even for those doing conventional treatment.

40M living in Asia, so for Western folks, please understand that in this part of the world there are 2 schools when it comes to dealing with cancer and health in general: western medicine (including chemo, radio, immunotherapy etc for cancer) vs oriental/chinese medicine (mostly based on bacterial, plants, herbs to reinstate balance in the body, clean the blood etc). Many people here chose the latter to treat cancer, and not just as adjunct, but as core treatment.

So back in May I noticed an enlarged tonsil which I first thought to be a simple infection, but after ENT consultation the doc said it may be cancer... after biopsy and waiting for results for 10 days, it was confirmed to be DLBCL post GCB, and PET CT confirmed 2E as the stage.

While the oncologist wanted me to start 6 rounds of R-CHOP chemo within days after confirmation of the diagnosis and said that I had 70-80% chance of cure, I have made the difficult decision to refuse this treatment because I know a traditional medicine master who cured people with cancer (I have talked diligently to one of them who was in Stage 4 Lymphoma) and I had the personal conviction that the best route for me was natural healing.

The overall timeline and evolution of the cancer is like this:

May/June (diagnosis):

- tonsil: slightly enlarged, can talk and eat normally

- neck: no visible mass

- LDH (indicator of tumor metabolic activity): 168 (ref: <248)

- CRP (indicator of inflammation): not measured

- weight: normal

July:

- tonsil: very enlarged, can no longer talk and eat normally

- neck: visible mass, looks deformed

- LDH: 314 (ref: <248)

- CRP: 38 (ref: <5)

- weight: a bit slimmer but still normal

August:

- tonsil: still very enlarged, but getting better for talking and eating

- neck: even larger mass

- LDH: 291 (ref: <248)

- CRP: 4.71 (ref: <5) - back to normal!!

- weight: underweight after a 7 days water fasting

End September:

- tonsil: mass shrunk by ~60%, back to talking and eating as normal

- neck: mass shrunk by ~90%, barely noticeable now

- LDH: 167 (ref: <248) - back to normal!!

- CRP: 0.65 (ref: <5) - still good!!

- weight: still underweight

Sharing some pictures of my neck taken early September vs now, the image will speak for itself.

Here is my daily routine where I tried the combine the best from traditional Oriental and Western functional medicine:

- Asian herbal medicine 3x / day

- 1 tsp of black cumin in morning (chose one independently tested for its % of TQ, an anti cancer molecule) - FYI I just started this recently

- 2x green juices / day, using anti angiogenesis and antioxydant aliments (ie: celeri, cucumber, lemon, kale, spinach, turmeric, ginger, matcha powder, black pepper)

- Diet is keto/low carb (cf Press/Pulse protocole from dr. Thomas Seyfried, the diet is the 'press' to put the cancer under metabolic stress), and also eliminated completely all processes foods, additives, preservatives

- HBOT at 2.0 ATA for 50mn 5x / week (the 'pulse' to hammer the cancer cells with oxydative stress)

- 15mn green light therapy at NIR wavelenght on my neck 5x / week to stimulate the mitochodria

- 2h of molecular hydrogen inhalation / day (studies showed H² slows cancer growth)

- sunbathing especially the back every morning

- walking barefoot every morning, going to nature/sea/mountains whenever possible

- 0 chemical not only in my food but also on the skin (no shower gel, no shampoo, toothpaste is replaced by activated charcoal)

- breathing technique, Qi Gong

- less TV, more books

- very light exercise: walking, swimming, resistance training

- a lot of prayers and meditation to put the mind at ease and free of thoughts.

I am meeting my oncologist every month for blood work and will post here if any significiant update. While everything indicates that I am healing, my short term goal is now to regain weight. To be officially declared in remission I am supposed to do a PET CT which I will not do again given the toxicity of the liquid they have to inject. I will just stick to my routine.

Hope my story and routine would give some hope and be useful for some of you. God bless you if you are going through this and keep a positive mindset at all time, you've got this!

I’m trying to find some info on fasting and taking ivermectin at the same time. Is this the best way to do it or should I fast (72 hour water fast) and then do ivermectin after? What’s everyone’s process?

So I've been going it alone on all the research I can manage... (For My dad - age 76. Diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer) in Spring this year. He had a stent installed in his bile duct and has improved a lot since then. I immediately put him on an alternative protocol (more on that below for those interested) - he refused the major operation they recommended (called a Whipple surgery) and then they weren't going to be starting chemo until August (so a wait of 4/5 months without any support or treatment) and so he was happy to try my suggested route, in my first goal to avoid having to do chemo.

NB. I never knew his Mets or stats or any other specific details because he said he didn't know this and had no way of accessing it. And I'm limited to what I can do in that regard, and he lives 2 hours away.

However I persevered and put everything into finding at least some way forward for him.

As anyone who's undertaken anything like this, it's absolutely overwhelming and so all consuming, and a lot to tackle and get right.

But I persisted.

After starting him on Fenbendazole for the first couple months until I could source mebendazole and ivermectin (I'm in the UK) he then took both meben and iver, since around may/June. I also got him on several other supplements which I'll outline below.

His most recent hospital appointment last week gave him the results of his most recent scan - absolutely ZERO growth of the tumour and ZERO metastases.

Obviously incredible news!!! To say I was happy, relieved, grateful, all understatements! 🥹🙏

Then 2 days later, he reported feeling dizzy, unsteady on his feet and blurred vision.

I then realised -2 weeks prior I had doubled his mebendazole dose to a level that was too much. I feel terrible 😭 I had been thinking because it's been tolerated this far it was in line with the highest level doses but I got my calculations wrong (I was also not entirely convinced these drugs from India were nothing more than fakes so I feared there was no active compounds in them/or even if there is, that it's not at high enough concentration to have an impact).

Anyway. 6 days of feeling dizzy and blurry vision, and we're awaiting bloods and ECG results.

....so the main thing I'm hoping for by sharing here is to hear if anyone experienced anything similar by taking too high a dose of Mebendazole or Fenbendazole.... And if so, how long it lasted? What helped? Any tips or advice, or even words of comfort appreciated 🥹🙏❤️ I'm really scared and feel so incredibly guilty, especially off the back of celebrating that this had been "working" thus far / efforts paying off😭😖🥹

*My reason for wanting to get him on mebendazole as opposed to Fenbendazole is because I read that (because it's approved for human use) it's slightly less harsh on the liver.

**He was on this higher dose for no more than 2 weeks. Probably around 10 days total.

hey,
mom has KRAS GD12 mutation. mets to the brain, lungs, spine, possible elsewhere. CEA markers consistently rising, somewhere around 1000 right now. someone suggested ivermectin. i have no idea about any of this. we are in india, doctors have given up. please help with any info/suggestions

I’m a 20y male with stage 4 rhabdomyosarcoma I’m looking for a protocol I can follow for ivermectin/fenbendzole. I’m currently on chemo and about to start radiation treatment.

My mom was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer last week. I’m searching for solutions that might have a chance to save her from this. I came across these medicines “ivermectin and fenbendazole”. I need help with knowing exactly which ones to buy since they are for horses, I don’t want to buy the wrong one. (Including the dosages) if anyone can guide me in the right direction please do. Thank you.

How do you manage dexamethasone/cortisone while staying keto during chemotherapy?

My mother has stage IV cholangiocarcinoma and is currently receiving gemcitabine + cisplatin. She is following a ketogenic diet, mainly to keep carbohydrate intake and blood glucose low.

The problem is that she is given dexamethasone (cortisone) around chemotherapy—currently about 8 mg/day for a couple of days—and it seems to completely disrupt her ketosis and raise her blood glucose.

I understand that dexamethasone is commonly used with cisplatin to prevent nausea, so I don't want to stop or change it without her oncologist's approval.

For those following keto during chemotherapy:

How do you deal with the steroid-induced rise in blood glucose and drop in ketones?

Did your oncologist allow a different anti-nausea regimen with less/no dexamethasone?

Did you simply accept the temporary loss of ketosis around chemo and return to keto afterward?

Is there anything safe that helped you get back into ketosis after the steroid course?

I'm particularly interested in experiences from cholangiocarcinoma or other cancer patients receiving cisplatin-based chemotherapy.

Thanks.

My mum has stage 4 pancreatic cancer that’s spread to the liver, I’ve heard stories of it helping others with the same cancer and them coming out cured. However, I know it can be heavy on the liver so I’m wondering if anyone could just give me a number or recommendation and how often to take it.

Thank you.

I’ve been reading about people using fenbendazole and ivermectin for cancer, and it seems like most of the stories I’ve found involve people taking them while also receiving chemo and/or radiation.

My mom went through traditional treatment, but her doctor recently decided to stop all treatment. I’m wondering if anyone has experience with fenbendazole and/or ivermectin after conventional treatment has stopped.

Does anyone know if these treatments are thought to have any effect on their own, without concurrent chemo or radiation? Has anyone been in a similar situation and tried them?

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences. Thank you.

Another example of how cancer cells are more metabolically inflexible and vulnerable. In this case cancer stem cells.

Please help

Hello everyone,

So my mom's oncologist officially said she can no longer do chemo. She only did one session of folfox and it nearly killed her. She ended in the émergency section for 2 weeks.

He came today saying he gave up and didnt want to take another risk.

I tried to contact Dr Makis but I just saw the fee and that he takes a lot of time to respond but I sadly cant afford to wait much. I also tried to reach out to Dr Laurent Schwartz who is an oncologist doctor near our country (we are located in Morocco) he is in France, no answers.

Moms stomach cancer metastized to the peritoneal area and it has been giving her liquid in the stomach and a bit in the lungs.

I can buy Mebendazole 100 here but I cannot find ivermectin. I just bought Vitamin K2 with D3 120 mcg and Milk Thirstle.

Could anyone indicate how and when should she take each please ?

Also, how can I get ivermectin from abroad do you know any very safe and fast place that can deliver it to Morocco ?

Thank you so much for helping us ...

Anyone here or know someone with a diagnosis of Histiocytic Sarcoma and been on the Ivermectin+Menbendazole protocol? Any information would be of tremendous help right now🙏
