Can Ivermectin Treat Cancer? - 9 Papers Reviewed

Papers reviewed:

Monday, December 30, 2024

WILLIAM MAKIS, MD: Sometimes less is more. Took 12mg of Ivermectin, 5 days a week, for about 5 months and the tumor disappeared. Nothing more. No Fenbendazole. No Mebendazole. Simple, yet effective

NEW ARTICLE: IVERMECTIN Testimonial with Follicular Thyroid Cancer - sometimes less is more - when a slow-growing tumor disappears with a low dose of Ivermectin alone! Sometimes the shortest stories can be the most impactful. Follicular thyroid cancer patient with a stable biopsy confirmed tumor. Took 12mg of Ivermectin, 5 days a week, for about 5 months and the tumor disappeared. Nothing more. No Fenbendazole. No Mebendazole. Simple, yet effective This is anecdotal evidence in support of a cancer prophylaxis dose of 12mg for Ivermectin (it seems even at that low dose, Ivermectin exerts a substantial anti-cancer effect). There is the additional possibility that benign tumors or very slowly growing low-grade malignant tumors can also be sufficiently and successfully treated with a low dose of Ivermectin There is only one place in the world where you will find success stories like this posted almost daily.

IVERMECTIN

I wrote to BuyIvermectinForSale.us on January 7, 2024, about the different uses between Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine, and I received this reply, 

Because Ivermectin is the best option for COVID-19 treatment, and Hydroxychloroquine is a prescription drug used to treat many autoimmune disorders. It was first used to treat malaria. 

That might help.

45 studies using Ivermectin late in the game, 41% improvement in outcomes, meaning they didn't die.

See this post with Dr. Bryan Ardis for Ivermectin resources. 

1:22. I admit I was scared to use it initially.  The way I put my mind at ease was by researching it, and I went to the FDA's website to look at the original studies where the drug became approved for human use.  And I looked at their safety data and there's something called the LD50 which is a benchmark number for a drug's toxicity.  And LD50 means, okay, what dosage of the drug will kill 50% of lab animals.  For Ivermectin, you'd have to give about 100 times what we're giving to approach the LDC what we are giving to approach the LD50. And I researched deaths, either accidental or intentional overdose of Ivermectin, and could find nothing.  No case reports.  So, the people who are dismissing Ivermectin are just being lazy.  

And the Texas Medical Board is being lazy because they're not taking you to task over the science of your claims.  They're taking you to task because you didn't tow the government controlled line during the pandemic.

They're making accusations that are not true.  They're making it sound like I just marched into the hospital and started writing orders for a patient that wasn't mine without having privileges, which is not how it happened at all.  Everything I did was part of a lawsuit that the patient's wife was bringing against the hospital, and I was the expert witness.  I was the one they granted me privileges and then I would be writing the prescriptions.  But they're making it sound like if I had gone in there and written orders without permission; that would be a bad thing but that's not what happened.

DR. ELIZABETH EADS: "the combination of Fenbendozale, Ivermectin, and apricot seeds, i.e., B-17 cures cancers. Not all cancers"

Here is Dr. Elizabeth Eads, [5:00-6:00] who has learned from a series of studies out of Europe that the combination of Fenbendozale, Ivermectin, and apricot seeds, i.e., B-17, cures cancers. Not all cancers, she qualifies that point. But there are 63 papers confirming this fact.  She specifies that this combination treats breast cancers, prostate cancers, and colon cancers.  And I like the dig she makes on Obama, passing the bill to unleash government propaganda through HR 4310, the National Defense Authorization Act, signed by Obama on December 29, 2012.  So basically, Section 1078 of that Bill authorizes the use of propaganda inside the U.S.A. which had previously been banned since 1948 when the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act, 1948, was passed.  What does this mean?  [8:00] It means they legalized propaganda, legalizing mainstream media, Big Pharma, hospitals, doctors, and publications to put out campaigns against Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin, calling it "Horse Paste."  They weren't allowed to call it Ivermectin.  Who prevented people from calling Ivermectin?  Claiming that Hydroxychlorine was calling heart arrhythmias.  Chlorine Dioxide, they termed it "bleach."  Shout out to Pierre Kory, because the war on Ivermectin is beautifully laid out with all the evidence, and all the studies supporting this propaganda this study from Desort and Henin, The SAIVE Trial is a trial.  "Exposure to that Ivermectin reduced exposure to SARS-CoV-2 by 72%.  Not sure what that means exactly.  I'd be more interested to know what Ivermectin does to the spike proteins from the vaccine.  Hel-lo.  It is telling, however, that all of the Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine papers under the propaganda law were suppressed.  Then how did they get out then?   

12:00  Underlying cause of cancer falls into 3 categories: 1) EMF radiation, radiation, in general; 2) pesticides, glyphosate, benzine, and environmental toxins; 3) parasites.  All of this has been proven in the literature, so you have to attack all three of those causes/categories in order to treat cancer.  She includes the brand Root Spray and Clean Slate.  She also incorporates the blocking of all radiation radiation.and EMF and using products, topical products like Ozone Blocking, EMF-blocking scaler wave stickers.  They block EMF in your phone, your iPad, your cell tower, anything to block the EMF radiation that is bombarding us everyday.

13:35. Lee Merritt recently raised an interesting point going back to when they started to lay the electrical grid and wiryy for the TELEGRAPH. Everywhere where those wires were being laid down, usually along railroad tracks, there was an increased incidence of sickness in people living nearby.  Scientists have been tracking radiation exposure, and EMF exposure, all the way back to the telegraph.  Negative frequencies, whether in music or in warfare, we know that during World War I and World War II, they used negative musical frequency, called The Devil's Tone to injure and make the enemy hyper-aggressive and make them docile and actually surrender.  And then for each pandemic marching through the years, Dr. Lee Merritt lays out a correlation the increased amount of radiation exposure and disease.  So there's a great correlation.  You know, she's from the military, she has a Navy background.  She was an orthopedic spinal surgeon in the Navy and she sat on a lot of these military committees, so she has a lot of data.  But she has correlated the electromagnetic radiation frequency and disease in the human body whether that's acute sickness or illness or cancer she has correlated that and she's out there and she's really outspoken about the importance of Americans decreasing their exposure to EMF radiation and there are great papers on the frequency rate, papers supporting the 5G.  T there is evidence in Wuhan and Lombardi after they turned on those 5G towers is when most of those "Covid" cases occurred. So perhaps it was just a high amount of 5G exposure causing illness and sickness and toxicity in the body that killed a lot of those patients and not necessarily the bioweapon that was also distributed to people In Lombardi and Wuhan and New York City.

16:36. In your February interview you said something that some people thought was outrageous but you don't lie.  For example,  this explosion in cancers, you got the goods on to tell us there's also a video out by Dr. Bischoff. [Taking vitamin D3, Omega 3s, and exercise may reduce invasive cancers by 61% in adults 70 years old and up.] You can see him give his dissertation from cancer.org the Cancer Society Prevention Society.

17:00  At least a billion dead or disabled by Covid-19 bioweapon vaccine.  Are you sticking by that, or do you have more to back that up?

17:10  I am sticking by that.  Actually, it's going to be higher than that, 1.2 billion.  A paper recently came out submitted by Dave Hodges shows 600,000 Americans per year are dying from Covid shots.  And that data is supported by Stirling and Ed Dowd.  What they did is look at the actuary numbers in the insurance, life insurance numbers, because you know, because we don't have good data sets from the hospitals because they're not reporting vaccine injuries; they're not reporting vaccine status; they're not correlating the deaths with mRNA vaccines.  They're doing that on purpose.  

18:05  You're saying that the data they're getting of 600,000, that's just low because the hospital is shading that.  

18:16  I am sure it's slightly hire because we don't have the data set from the hospitals.  When we're talking about 600,000 excess deaths/year [Josh Stirling, an insurance analyst presents this number at the 6:49 mark] and we're not done with 2023 yet, that could potentially be 1.2 billion.  

18:34  A year?

18:35  Correct.  

18:40  That seems like a lot, right?  That's 1.2 billion globally.  There are 13 billion injections at least.  That's the number. These are the CDC numbers.  And there are at least 676 million injections alone.  676 million injections, CV19 bioweapon injections, in America alone.

19:05  So the UK has really good data set from their Dept. of Health and they have projected recently in a UK study that they've had 5, they're on their 5th or 6th booster.  They're projecting a population decrease by 2025 of 77%.  

20:35  Ed Dowd says that the number of injured is exponentially higher than those who are dying.  What do you think about the disabilities and deaths in the U.S. for 2023?  Ed Dowd said we lost 30% of our workforce in 2022.

20:54  It's going to be in the high millions. 600,000 and we're not done with 2023.  You double that and that's what, 1.2 million and that's underreported.  So millions.  Remember that the spike protein and the bioweapon nanotechnology remain in the body for we don't know how long.  There's no endpoint.  The reason you're getting these super cancers is because you have spike proteins being manufactured with no off button.  And so you have a delayed effect in auto-immune disorders and cancers.  What happens is that the spike protein dysregulates your T-cells, your B-cells which fight foreign bacteria, viruses, and cancers, and the complement system.  It interrupts that.  And then you have the SV40 that was discovered in the Moderna and Pfizer vials by Kevin McKernen who worked on the human genome project, who is a microbiologist.  So you have these foreign proteins with DNA, this monkey SV40 which he discovered in over the legal amount allowed to be as a contaminant in the vials, and multiple vials he looked at.  So you had these DNA proteins getting into the cells and introducing this monkey DNA, the SV40, which is also dysregulating your normal T-cells, normal B-cells, and complement which normally attack and eat cancer.  They're actually causing cancers.  And it's been suggested that these SV40 lead to cancers such as mesothelioma, lymphoma, and brain cancer.  And there's a direct correlation.  So there's no endpoint to the mRNA mechanism, the nanotechnology that has clearly been proven by the patents which are on Karen Kingston's substack.  And there's no turn-off switch for the spike protein.  The spike protein remains in the body for 1-3 years that we've seen so far. 

23:54  It doesn't dissipate?

23:55  No, that's my point.  

24:00  Is this why people are prescribing Ivermectin is it because it binds, this is what Dr. Pierre Kory told me, is it because it binds to the spike proteins and removes them?  Dr. Peter McCullough is also prescribing Nattokinase because it dissolves the spike protein.  Bind, remove, dissolves, sound like a pretty good one-two punch.  Are those two great things to have if you're going to preemptively attack spike proteins if you've been vaxx'd or if you're being shed on?

24:40  Absolutely.  Look, Nattokinase has been used as a food supplement in Japan for years.  And the life expectancy in Japan is really long, it's over 100 years old.  Nattokinase boosts the immune system.  It makes the red blood cells in your blood, whether it's venous or arterial, it doesn't matter.  It makes them less sticky, and it decreases the incidents of blood clots.  But also it's been shown by Peter McCullough and his team, to sweep out the spike protein, so I highly recommend the use of Nattokinase, Ivermectin, and some kind of chelation.  I love the Root Spray and Clean SlateIvermectin has been proven to decrease the effects of spike protein.  Decrease the effects of and limit viral exposure and the entrance of the virus into cells and block the mechanism of the virus sticking to the ACE2 Receptors and the spike protein sticking to the ACE2 receptors, which are all over all the organs in the body.  So I use a combination of products.  I also use dimethylglycine or methylene Blue to turn off the mRNA.  It demethylates the mRNA that is outside the cell.  There's no product that we know that stops the mRNA mechanism inside the cell at this point.  But I use that whole combination to lessen the effect of the spike protein.  

26:55  No treatment that we know of for the q dot nanoparticles that Karen Kingston describes.  

27:05  That's not shed on you, that's actually injected into the 200 plus million Americans . . . that is not a shedding issue.  That's an issue of injection, correct?

27:17  No.  Actually, the nanoparticles can be shed during transmission as well and they can jump from person to person.  And that's been seen in the DoD literature and supported by James Giordano, who is Advisor to U.S. Military Intelligence community.  In fact, he wrote that "neurotism technologies and neurotechnology nanoparticles, such as NeuroLink, Neurolace should not be considered for their mass destruction effects."

27:57  What would Elon Musk say about that? It's a bio weapon, right? These are all bio weapons, right?

28:05. These are definitely bioweapons.  If you go to Karen Kingston's substack, she has put out . . . she has done some great work in Florida.  She has put out 12 Points.  She set up a document that has laid out 12 talking points to send to your County Commissioner to get rid of these mRNA shots.  And in Point #12, I am going to read it, it says biological weapons are weapons of mass destruction.  Allowing their use on civilian populations is a 1st-degree felony in the state of Florida.  And she goes on to say that mRNA vaccines contain neurotechnology that is patented for use as a bioweapon.  She has the receipts on her website.  And this document can be downloaded off of her substack and used for any county in any state.  This is specific to Florida, but she has a letter on there where you can plug in your County Commissioner's name and office.  In the letter, you can tailor that letter to your own county commissioner in any state.  I actually sent it to my county commissioner here in Florida.  

29:40  Are they going to do anything about it? 

29:42  Yes, Collier County has passed legislation that protects its citizens against mandates, and these mRNA vaccines.  It also talks about informed consent and there are other counties in Florida that are going to pass legislation against these mRNA technologies., mandates, and against the lack of informed consent.  It's a beautifully written document and everybody should download that.

30:25  Karen Kingston was on the cutting edge of this from the very beginning.  

If you want to get Ivermectin without a prescription,
there are places in the United States.  See here.  If you order from outside the U.S., say, from India, it will take at least 1 full month before you receive it in your mail.  

$70 for 90 Count.  Well, it was $70.  Today, Sunday, May 19, 2024, it's $90 for 90-count.

HOW IVERMECTIN WORKS AGAINST SARS-COV-2: ivermectin comes along and stops any further transfection and tags the already transfected cells for removal by the immune system....

IVERMECTIN INHIBITS NUCLEAR IMPORT!!! IT STOPS mRNA FROM GETTING INTO THE CELL!!! 

NoFluxGiven writes, 

I believe Dr Paul Marik and Dr Been agree, and one of the reasons IVM is the foundation of the I-RECOVER protocols by the flccc.net

Combined with fasting, red light therapy, and Methylene Blue to effectively stop replication and degrade the spike. Nailed it!

Study shows remdesivir as primary COVID treatment is a total bust

by Daniel Horowitz for The Blaze, reposted at the Ron Paul Institute

Sixteen months into this virus, our government has nothing to offer us in terms of treatment in the hospital but remdesivir at $3,100 a dose and zero treatment options at the critical early-stage, when serious complications can be pre-empted. Now, a new study from the University of Iowa shows what we knew all along – that remdesivir failed to reduce mortality one iota. Why are we to believe the same government entities about embracing the clot shots and shunning so many other cheaper and effective treatments after spending billions and losing countless lives on a failed drug?

After 
62 studies, 32 of them randomized controlled trials, establishing ivermectin as an effective treatment and an even more effective preventative to keep people out of the hospital in the first place, our government refuses to endorse its use and Big Tech continues to censor it. They claim they need more studies. Yet not a single randomized controlled trial showed remdesivir to be effective before they dove in headfirst and the NIH made it the only approved antiviral treatment for COVID. Now, a University of Iowa study published in JAMA Network Open on Thursday has shown that remdesivir was a complete bust.

Among the 2,334 US veterans studied in 124 hospitals, a higher share of remdesivir patients (12.2 percent) who took part in the study died than patients in the control group (10.6 percent). Moreover, on average, remdesivir patients spent six days in the hospital, while control group patients spent only three.

Previously, last October, the World Health Organization 
found that use of remdesivir in 11,000 patients across 400 hospitals in the world failed to lower the mortality rate or truncate time of stay in the hospital.

Take a look at 
this chart of treatment protocols for COVID hospital patients from the NIH, and you will see that aside from remdesivir, the only other treatment they offer is dexamethasone as the corticosteroid of choice to treat inflammation.

Again, dexamethasone was approved after just 
one randomized controlled trial last year, when ivermectin had over two dozen. This new study from the University of Iowa seems to show that dexamethasone is also a bust because outcomes did not improve among those who received that steroid along with remdesivir, as opposed to the control group that did not. In other words, after 16 months of research by doctors on numerous helpful antiviral and anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as more effective corticosteroids, the government has ensured that we have not advanced one iota in treating this virus. This is truly criminal and probably the gravest scandal of COVID.

Contrast this to ivermectin, which is available for $25. A Cochrane-standard (the highest level review) meta-analysis of ivermectin against COVID-19 by Bryant-Lawrie, which has been published in 
the American Journal of Therapeutics, concluded that ivermectin reduced fatality in hospitalized patients by 62%. But more important is getting people to use this immediately in an outpatient setting and, for vulnerable people, even preventively. The study found that "ivermectin prophylaxis reduced covid-19 infection by an average 86%."

The Story Of Ivermectin And COVID-19

NCBI explains that 

Ivermectin proved to be even more of a ‘Wonder drug’ in human health, improving the nutrition, general health and wellbeing of billions of people worldwide ever since it was first used to treat Onchocerciasis in humans in 1988.

The narrator explains that Ivermectin, discovered in the 1970s, treats river blindness caused by a parasitic worm and caused untold suffering and even death in Central and Southern America and much of Africa. 

Instead of Ivermectin, Fauci endorsed Remdesivir, which has a lousy effect on mortality.  In fact, in the study that initially began to examine mortality, Fauci switched the results or endpoint of the study from Remdesivir’s impact on mortality to Remdesivir’s impact on “time it takes to recover.”

So why would Dr. Fauci and NIH continue to endorse a drug that costs $3,100 per course of treatment [unlike Ivermectin, which is narrowly free] and that has shown to have no impact on mortality?  Who makes Remdesivir and how are they related to who gets to decide which drugs can be used to treat COVID-19? 

Remdesivir is made by Gilead Sciences, a pharmaceutical company located in Foster City, CA.  From 1997-2001, the chairman of Gilead was Donald Rumsfeld, one of the architects of the War in Iraq.  

When Ford lost the 1976 election, Rumsfeld returned to private business and financial life, and was named president and CEO of the pharmaceutical corporation G. D. Searle & Company. He was later named CEO of General Instrument from 1990 to 1993 and chairman of Gilead Sciences from 1997 to 2001.

During the same period, one of the board members of Gilead was George Schultz, a long-time Bush Family ally who was instrumental in convincing George W. Bush to run for the United States.  

In order to understand why the NIH treatment panel is so pro-Remdesivir, it’s essential to understand the financial ties between Gilead Sciences and members of that treatment panel.  Looking at the treatment panel’s financial disclosures, you will see that no fewer than 7 members disclosed financial support from Gilead Sciences.  Interestingly, the 3 co-chairs who select the other members of the panel, do not disclose support from Gilead.  However, two of the Chairs, Roy Gulick and Henry Masur, both receive financial support from Gilead.  Even more interestingly, the third co-chair, Clifford Lane was actually was one of the authors of the NIAID study on Remdesivir, but you won’t see his name in the list of the article’s authors.  You have to look at the financial disclosure form that accompanied that article.  

It’s also worth noting that 7 out of 12 of these co-authors on that study disclosed funding from Gilead Sciences.  The significance of this cannot be overstated.  Two of the three chairs of the NIH COVID-19 Treatment Panel, the people who put the panel together, received financial support from Gilead Sciences, while the other was intimately involved in the study that attempted to and failed to prove that Remdesivir was an effective treatment of COVID-19.  

Given these professional and financial ties, is there any way that we could reasonably expect them to impartially judge the best treatments for COVID-19?  Or choose panel members who advocate for repurposing cheap, off-patent drugs that would completely undercut the market for one of the main products of a company with which they enjoy close financial and professional ties?

WILLIAM MAKIS: IVERMECTIN Testimonial - Pfizer COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine Injuries - Young Australian woman recovers from multiple mRNA Vaccine injuries (polyarthritis, pericarditis, blood clots, and more) in 2 months!

NEW ARTICLE: IVERMECTIN Testimonial - Pfizer COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine Injuries - Young Australian woman recovers from multiple mRNA Vaccine injuries (polyarthritis, pericarditis, blood clots, and more) in 2 months! In August 2024, an Australian couple reached out to me. The wife had two Pfizer COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines and began suffering inexplicable side effects in late 2023
She struggled to walk. Felt stiff in the joints, both hands and knees. She struggled to lift herself out of bed. 
She was admitted to hospital where a professor said she had Rheumatoid Arthritis...family doctor thought she had a muscular condition 
she experienced chest pains...pericarditis and soon after two blood clots one in the leg and one in the chest"
Australian doctors were baffled (of course).
When I asked the doctors and specialists what has been the contributing factor, all of them shrugged their shoulders. When I said how about the 2 Pfizer jabs she had, they were immediately dismissive.
I suggested Ivermectin 0.5mg/kg/day for several weeks.
A few days ago, I heard back from them 😃
"She took Ivermectin...her inflammation, iron, pericarditis all back to normal, the blood clots gone, her appetite has returned and she can now walk for 50 mins around the block daily :) Thank you for your advice. I am extremely grateful and may God bless you and your family"

These emails always make my day 😃

I've written articles about Ivermectin and inflammatory conditions such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lyme Disease, Diverticulitis, etc. Why 0.5mg/kg/day?
It's the upper range of established dosing for anti-viral and anti-parasitic indications. With minimal risk of side effects.
Why couldn't Australian doctors help?
Because of the illegal interference of medical boards in the patient-doctor relationship, doctors are too afraid to help their patients in this manner. This holds true for Australian, Canadian, UK, Irish, and even some US medical boards.
Not only should medical boards be dissolved, but the leaders of these medical boards should receive very long prison sentences. The harm they’ve done to the public over the past 4 years, is incalculable. The fact that Canadian politicians like
or or have fully backed the abuses and corrupt actions of the medical boards in Canada (Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons), is also unforgivable. This is why intelligent people like (who was persecuted by his regulatory body), are leaving Canada, with many more to follow. There must be accountability for all this, one day.

FDA’s VAERS Shows 70 deaths with Ivermectin since 1996. Compare that to the 3,882 deaths associated with Acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol

Is Ivermectin Safe? 

Ivermectin is known to be safe. 

For perspective, the FDA’s Adverse Events Reporting System shows 70 deaths sith Ivermectin since 1996.  Compare that to the 3,882 deaths associated with Acetaminophen, which is the active ingredient in the drug, Tylenol during this very same period.  The FDA has the authority to approve drugs like Ivermectin that can first enter the market in the United States.  That much is true.  They get to decide what labeling they will use.  Doctors can then prescribe those drugs however they think necessary, including for “off-label” uses that differ from what the FDA originally approved.  The FDA has openly acknowledged that the off-label use of approved drugs is not illegal but a necessary and important part of the practice of medicine.  For example, an estimated 21% of all prescriptions are for off-label use here in the United States, and that number jumps to 32.6% in adult intensive care units. 

So now let’s shift back to the OpEd.  

According to Dr. Ben Carson and Mr. Gray, the FDA’s actions violate both fundamental ethics and the law.  But why?  According to these two gentlemen, Congress was explicit in the Food, Drugs, and Cosmetic Act that the FDA was not to interfere in the practice of medicine which includes prescribing drugs off-label.  However, the FDA has relentlessly publicly bashed what has been a solid anti-parasitic drug because it was used by hundreds, if not thousands, of doctors, across the country during the pandemic.  Moreover, the FDA pressured the umbrella boards and licensing organizations which in turn pressured their members on a state-by-state basis to avoid the drug.  And so in the eyes of the public, this was clearly interpreted by many Americans as banning the use of the drug, which wasn’t and cannot be the case here.  The agency displayed insatiable arrogance.

“In a display of insatiable arrogance, the FDA has refused to be satisfied with its authority over market entry and labeling, and instead tried to commandeer the role of doctors in treating their patients as well.”  Dr. Ben Carson & Boyden Gray Op-Ed
