Ivermectin for Prostate Cancer? (Being studied)
Prostate Cancer | Last Active: Sep 6 10:58am | Replies (73)Comment receiving replies
I have a friend who was recently diagnosed with cancer. They are taking Ivermectin. They have stage 4 and as they put it , what do I have to lose !? Use the tools that are available. Let’s face it, big Pharma isn’t going to promote it.
Many Functional Drs are using it.

Please. I have stage 4 cancer, and I believe I have a *lot* to lose. That's why I'm taking genuinely researched and approved treatments, which have done a great job keeping me alive and healthy over the past three years, and I expect will continue to do so for many years to come. We are fortune to have so many excellent treatment options now.
....Functional medicine doctors use a more holistic approach to treat chronic conditions. This includes taking your lifestyle, genetics, mental health, and environment into account when making a treatment plan.
Hmm, Stage 4 cancers may not necessarily be chronic condition. They may be the opposite, fatal.
"Use the tools that are available", exactly, those which have credible medical research to support their use.
Any source to go along with that statement "Many functional doctors are using it..!?"
Really, Big Pharma, exactly what do your mean by that. I think we all generally agree the US health system which includes pharmaceuticals has room for improvement - insurance, for profit hospitals...(I just finished interacting with an ER and Cardiology on an issue with my wife over the last month, they identified the problem, prescribed treatment, resolved it. There were things they could have done better and I let them know). Still, the plethora of choices we have, the ARIs, Orgovyx, Lutetium and others...may have increased longevity for many.

@chamblee54 -- by chance do you have any of the Functional Drs. names using Ivermectin? I am interested from an educational point of view.

@chamblee54, I get your friend's point. Some people feel desparate times warrant desparate actions. But it may not be necessary.
I don't know what type of cancer they have or how long they've had stage 4 and their health status. But I do know that patients live many years successfully with well-studied, proven treatments. There is life and living to be done with stage 4. Untested, off-label medications may have unwanted consequences. I hope your friend shares their experimentation with their oncologist.
