Hi @thecattleman, I see that you are exploring the use of ivermectin for the treatment of colorectal cancer.

Researchers are studying Ivermectin to see if it may be used as an anti-cancer drug and early studies show promise. Please note that this research is in the early stages (mice studies) and has not yet been tested in human trials. Ivermectin is not a proven standard treatment for prostate cancer.

Ivermectin combined with other chemotherapy drugs or targeted drugs is being studied in early clinical trials and shows promise in patients for whom conventional chemotherapy has not worked in some cancer types, including colorectal cancer. Current results from studies in test tubes (in vitro) indicate that ivermectin *might* be a new potential anticancer drug for treating colorectal cancer and other cancers. It has not yet been tested on humans.

IMPORTANT
It is NOT safe to take ivermectin that is commercially available. Please talk to your doctor before taking any over-the-counter medications or supplements that claim to fight or cure cancer.
