Anyone cure their BC with alternative methods?
I've been reading a lot about people curing their cancer with Ivermectin, Fenbendazole, extreme diet changes, supplements, herbs, certain teas, a Rife Frequency machine, etc. Any success stories out there?

Cure is not a word that is often used in cancer. Remission or no evidence of disease (NED) are more commonly used. If you are reading about treatments that proclaim to cure cancer, I would be open-minded yet skeptical. Advertisements for cancer cures are usually scams looking for your money.
There's a lot of information as well as misinformation circulating about ivermectin, fenbendazole and the use of de-wormers as a treatment for cancer. They are not alternative treatments. They are drugs to treat river blindness (onchocerciasis), intestinal infection from threadworms (strongyloidiasis), and other kinds of worm infections. They do not clear or cure cancer.
This is what Mayo Clinic experts would like you to know:

There are things that you can do to reduce the risk of cancer or the risk of recurrence, like healthy living with a balanced diet and exercise, etc. But note my careful use of words. This "may reduce the risk". Unfortunately, even if we do everything "right", cancer can still strike since there are many risk factors we can't change like aging and genetics.
@whitehairwisdom, it is clear that you want to do the right thing for your health. More and more cancer centers and oncology specialists are open to discussing and integrating complementary medicine in programs called Integrative Medicine or Integrative Oncology. Integrative medicince is offered at many cancer centers of excellence, including Mayo Clinic.
Here's a link to more information about Mayo Clinic's Integrative Medicine programs

If you want to consider supplements, herbs, teas or other over-the-counter supplements, it is advisable to talk with your doctor to make sure they do no harm or interfere with any treatment you are on. Your pharmacist is a great resource for asking questions too.

Guidance from Mayo Clinic experts that might help your evaluation of alternative therapies:
- Natural vs. safe: Why the two aren't the same https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/complementary-alternative-medicine/in-depth/natural-vs-safe-health-remedies/art-20587690
One of my favorite websites for finding evidence-based info about herbs and supplements is Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) complementary therapies database:
– Search About Herbs (cancer specific) https://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/diagnosis-treatment/symptom-management/integrative-medicine/herbs/search
@whitehairwisdom, you mention that you are reading a lot about cancer cures. May I ask where you are seeing this information or articles?
