Ivermectin Fenbendazole Methylene Blue
I've been taking all these daily. I was told I have stage four Glioblastoma IDH wildtype. Has anyone else taken these or know any one that has personally ?

Just curious how long you’ve been taking these and why?
Hello @gregbrannon, there's a lot of information as well as misinformation circulating about ivermectin and its use as a treatment for cancer. It does not clear or cure cancer.
Ivermectin is used to treat river blindness (onchocerciasis), intestinal infection from threadworms (strongyloidiasis), and other kinds of worm infections. Ivermectin is an anthelmintic. It works by interfering with the nerve and muscle functions of worms, by paralyzing and killing them. (https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/ivermectin-oral-route/description/drg-20064397)
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 yet a proven standard treatment for cancer or other off-label diagnoses.
Currently, the only FDA-approved use for methylene blue is for the treatment of methemoglobinemia, a rare condition that restricts the ability of red blood cells to deliver oxygen throughout the body. It is important to know that there are many available over the counter methylene blue from major retailers, but these can be considered dangerous and meant for non-medical uses.
@gregbrannon, have you had conversations with your provider about taking these medications together? The risk of contra-indications can be dangerous, especially when taking medications with different intended purposes.
Thanks for your info Justin. Will keep that in mind
