‘Remarkable’ Ivermectin cancer study raises questions over lack of trials

A recent observational study examining ivermectin and mebendazole as a potential cancer treatment has sparked debate, with UK health expert Dr John Campbell describing the findings as “remarkable” and questioning why larger trials have not been carried out.

The study followed 197 cancer patients who took daily doses of the two drugs for 90 days, reporting a clinical benefit rate of about 84%, while only 15.6% experienced disease progression.

Researchers found that nearly half of participants reported tumour regression or no evidence of disease, with others experiencing stable conditions across a wide range of cancers.

Campbell said the results “drive you mad really” given the absence of large-scale randomised trials, arguing the research signals a need for further investigation.

While side effects were reported as generally mild and adherence was high, researchers emphasised that controlled clinical trials are still required to confirm effectiveness, safety, and appropriate dosing before any firm conclusions can be made.

  1. But NZ still on the same WEF agenda not realizing the plan has been blown, and National, Labour, ACT need to stop being dickheads.

  2. The world is filling up with trash. Humanity remains addicted to pollution despite the planet getting hotter by the minute. People are downing horse dewormer because some goober on television told them it cured COVID.
    Fortunately, the absurdities of modern life have always been prime subject matter for Seattle-based band Mudhoney.
    This is why music and politics do not work. I really like Mudhoney but the dig at ivermectin is so wrong that it has completely put me off them. Words taken from their BandCamp page.
