Ivermectin Anti-Cancer Mechanisms of Action
IVERMECTIN has proven anti-cancer activity against some 20 cancer types, although these are pre-clinical studies. We will never see clinical studies because Ivermectin is off patent and cheap.
Merck, which used to have a patent on Ivermectin, has partnered with Moderna on mRNA Cancer Vaccines, estimated to cost 400,000 GBP per treatment.
Ivermectin studies on mice include: Breast cancer, Colon cancer, glioblastoma, glioma and leukemia.
I have not seen IVERMECTIN studies on Lymphoma, Testicular Cancer, Sarcomas.
IVERMECTIN acts on Cancer mainly by inhibiting signaling pathways involved in cancer proliferation (Akt, Wnt, mTOR) and by inhibiting CANCER STEM CELLS.
IVERMECTIN ACCESS
The Ontario College of Physicians even had an Investigator go undercover and dress up as a Canadian Trucker to ensnare a young doctor prescribing Ivermectin in Ottawa in 2022 during the Trucker Convoy.
Canadians must realize that the Colleges of Physicians are private corporations, fully bought off by big pharma and run by mafia lawyers like Bryan Salte (the SK lawyer who issued the $44,800 penalty for prescribing Ivermectin) – see below:
No healthcare bureaucrat or lawyer has the right to deny anyone access to life saving medication. And if they do, they are committing a very serious crime.
New & Improved Joe Tippens Protocol
- Fenbendazole is commonly taken at 300 mg for six days a week, with doses increasing to up to 1 gram in cases of aggressive “turbo cancers”. The original Joe Tippens protocol recommended the Panacur C brand of fenbendazole.
- Ivermectin (24 mg, 7 days a week) or in the case of severe turbo cancers up to 1mg/kg/day.
- Bio-Available Curcumin (600mg per day, 7 days a week).
- Vitamin D (62.5 mcg [2500 IU] seven days a week).
- Enhanced absorption Berberine (500mg per day) if you are trying to starve your cancer of sugars.
- Diet and Lifestyle: Removing sugar from one’s diet is crucial during this protocol (BMJ 2023), eating a nutritious fresh whole-food diet with fruits and vegetables, avoid ultra processed foods (BMJ 2024) and a healthy lifestyle with less stress.
- CBD oil (1-2 droppers full [equal to 167 to 334 mg per day] under the tongue, 7 days a week).
“I have eliminated Vitamin E as a required part of the protocol as there are simply too many instances (eg, blood thinners) where it needs to be eliminated, and it is the least important of the items.”

Benzimidazole family and Cancer
There is still some research being done on Fenbendazole & Cancer, but researchers are focusing more on other related compounds in the “Benzimidazole family”, namely Mebendazole, but also Albendazole, Parbendazole. Why?
Benzimidazole Cost: Fenbendazole vs Mebendazole vs Albendazole
Fenbendazole is not FDA approved. It’s dirt cheap.
Mebendazole is FDA approved. It’s expensive. Check out “Fenbendazole vs Mebendazole for Cancer“.
PRACTICAL APPROACH TO USING FENBENDAZOLE IN CANCER TREATMENT (Disclaimer: the following is not medical advice)
The 10 new studies published in 2023-2024 only confirm what we already know from previous studies. Fenbendazole, Mebendazole, Albendazole are highly effective against many cancers.
There is one article I want to highlight though because it has an extremely important concept:
- 2023 Jun, Mukherjee et al – Ketogenic diet as a metabolic vehicle for enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of mebendazole and devimistat in preclinical pediatric glioma
- “This study investigated the influence of nutritional ketosis on the therapeutic action of mebendazole (MBZ) and devimistat (CPI-613) against the highly invasive VM-M3 glioblastoma cells in juvenile syngeneic p20-p25 mice”
- “maximum therapeutic benefit of mebendazole and CPI-613 on tumour invasion and mouse survival occurred only when the drugs were administered together with a ketogenic diet (KD)
KETOGENIC DIET IS CRUCIAL IN CANCER
Since my previous Fenbendazole article, I‘ve had 1000s of questions sent to me. Not about mechanisms of action against Cancer. But about practical use – how to use Fenbendazole or Mebendazole to treat Stage 4 Cancers, what formulations, what doses?
The goal of this article (Part 2) is to answer many of those questions to the best of my ability.
EXPERIMENTAL CANCER PROTOCOLS:
- You can look at fenbendazole.org for suggested dosing and dose calculator
- Dr.Tom Rogers, Founder of “Performance Medicine” has similar protocols.
- For anyone COVID-19 mRNA Vaccinated diagnosed with cancer (Turbo Cancer), I’d probably be looking at starting at 444 mg a day.
- For particularly aggressive Turbo Cancers or bad cases, I’d even consider pushing towards 888 mg/day (444 mg twice a day) or 1000 mg/day.
- Highest dosing I’ve seen is 30-50mg/kg/day for 5 days, based on the “Merck Manual”, however very few claim to have taken this dose.
- Fenbendazole can elevate liver function tests, so it would be a good idea to have a family doctor monitor those
Mebendazole: Key Resources
So far, several studies in the literature have used 200mg/day with some success, however given that it is safe to go up to 4g/day, when we’re dealing with aggressive mRNA Induced Turbo Cancers, 200mg/day is probably not sufficient.
- 2021 Mansoori et al – For Maximum dose of 4g/day being safe, that’s from a Phase 2 Clinical Trial for Gastrointestinal Cancer
- 2021 Chai et al – summarizes the various studies that have looked at Mebendazole in Cancer and the doses used.
- 500 mg-1500 mg/day (Phase 1 Clinical Trial, pediatric brain tumors)
- 200 mg/day (2011 Dobrosotskaya et al) (adrenocortical ca)
- 200 mg/day (2014 Nygren et al) (colon ca lung and LN mets)
- 100 mg/day (Clinical Trial, UK)
- 800 mg three times a day (phase 2 clinical trial for patients with recurrent glioblastoma) (2022 Patil et al).
- 2021 Chai et al – Albendazole vs fenbendazole for cancer? Why Mebendazole over Albendazole: “However, because of the toxicity of albendazole, for example, neutropenia due to myelosuppression, if high doses are used for a prolonged time, mebendazole is currently more popularly used than albendazole in anti-cancer clinical trials.”
- 2022 Joe et al – As a review, using a variety of in-vitro (petri dish) and in-vivo (live animal) models, Joe et al showed that mebendazole prevented the development of triple-negative breast cancer and eradicated previously established triple-negative breast cancer, and also reduced distant lung metastasis while preventing liver metastasis. Furthermore, mebendazole treatment led to a dramatic reduction in the cellular marker, Integrin β4 (ITGβ4), which is linked to the development of Cancer Stem Cells in distant locations. Even though these data were primarily animal data they would likely be applicable to humans.
- 2003 Chen et al – Precaution: Importantly, a combined use of mebendazole (>500 mg) and metronidazole (>500 mg) is prohibited because severe and rare fatal adverse events such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome (or toxic epidermal necrosis) may occur. The risk increased with increasing doses of metronidazole but not mebendazole, and there may be a synergistic interaction between mebendazole and metronidazole.
