Welcome, @badbrad. I moved your question about the use of ivermectin and other supplements to treat prostate cancer to this related discussion:
- Ivermectin for Prostate Cancer? (Being studied) https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/ivermectin-for-prostate-cancer/

I encourage you to read the posts and resources shared in the discussion.

I see that you are looking into alternative therapies. There's a lot of information as well as misinformation circulating about ivermectin and its use as a treatment for cancer. Here's a clear and well-written article about repurposed drugs being researched for cancer.

Here's some guidance from Mayo Clinic experts that might help your evaluation of these therapies:

Nobody is interested in promoting ivermectin when it's effective in vitro and in animals and they know it for so many years why human trials have not been done
