@rww1979, Joe Tippens protocol appears again and again in forums and social media. It is important to note that he was participating in an immunotherapy clinical trial at the MD Anderson Cancer Center at the time he began using fenbendazole. Immunotherapy is an advanced form of cancer treatment that boosts the body’s immune system to fight cancer cells. There is not enough data to draw a valid conclusion as to whether it was the immunotherapy clinical trial for his non-small cell lung cancer which is different than neuroendocrine cancer.

The use of fenbendazole for cancer is still experimental (in mice), and more studies are needed to determine its success and safety in humans.

Untested treatments can do harm. When we read repeated stories of success about this or other unproven treatments that circulate widely, the repetition can give the appearance of - it must be true or everyone is doing it.

As stageivsurvivor said in another discussion:
“ Think carefully as drug/drug and drug/supplement interactions can have consequences. Damage to the liver would mean having to pause chemo. Permanent damage would terminate cancer treatment. Bad decisions can have bad consequences and there might not be a “do-over” moment.”

Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding your health. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on the community or on social media.

I completely hear what you’re saying but when facing something that has very poor prognosis I now understand why people look for alternative treatments as nothing to lose! But will keep these things in mind!
Thanks
