Share experience of using alternative fenbendazole against cancer

Posted by juandugo @juandugo, May 19 9:30am

My sister is undergoing Chemotherapy treatment with LONSURF medication to heal colon cancer with metastasis.
We are open to reviewing complementary treatments. For this reason I would appreciate if anyone can share any experience with the use of the drug FENBENDAZOLE and indicate side effects.

Beforehand thank you very much

@juandugo, fenbendazole is an antiparasitic drug used in veterinary medicine to treat animal gastrointestinal parasites. There are many stories circulating on social media about using it to treat cancer because preliminary research is investigating the use of fenbendazole in cancer.

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

If considering fenbendazole, please talk to your oncologist.

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.

When considering complementary or alternative treatments, be open-minded yet skeptical. Learn about the potential benefits and risks.

Is your sister working with her oncologist to discuss complementary therapies?

@juandugo it can be very frustrating to attempt to find a medical professional who is supportive of many complementary therapies for cancer. They can only support therapy with a proven track record for success without debilitating side effects. Keep searching and use the internet wisely for information. Know that there are anecdotal reports of treatment success everywhere, but not always supported by research and safe studies.
I am a veterinarian and Fenbendazole is a commonly used drug with benefits in veterinary medicine. It's use in humans is experimental and safety and side effects are likely not well understood at this time. Be careful.
