Sad news, but I think he declined treatment very early on

@xahnegrey40 From last May:
❝Adams did not go into detail about his treatments, other than saying the anti-parasitic medications ivermectin and fenbendazole did not work for him.❞

Adams did not say whether he tried conventional treatment before that, so we can't assume he didn't, but I appreciate that he did a public service in sharing his negative experience with self-administered anti-parasitics, and also that he condemned attempts to politicise former President Biden's PCa diagnosis (despite not being a supporter).
So in the end, he did good.

@northoftheborder Yes, Scott Adams did make some mention in that NPR interview that ivermectin and fenbendazole failed him, but I still feel like he could have done more to educate and advise men about the dangers of prostate cancer and how early screening is very beneficial. Right up until his death, he hosted a weekly podcast. He didn't want to make it about himself and tried to cover topics just the same as if he had no cancer. That was all well and good, but still, I sure wished that he had talked more about prostate cancer and given advice based on his personal experiences on how best to deal with it.
