On FB, I shared a post from a friend which was a headline of ivermectin, fenbendazole, and menbendazole being used for cancer. I have a feeling it will be flagged sooner or later. So...
I am putting a few of the comments here so people interested in taking charge of their own health can glean from it what they find useful.
One friend commented that is a shame no one told her about this while her boyfriend was fighting cancer. I replied:
"Doctors don't share it. I think it is more the medical industry as a whole than the doctors...the doctors are told what they can and can not use. If one chooses differently than their protocol, they are on their own and have to pay out of pocket. I know many who are going through this right now."
Another friend shared: "Dr. William Makis, MD has a wealth of knowledge on cancer treatments. I wish more people were open to effective alternative treatments." (Wendy's note: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jg6FhqGl7M copy and paste. You can find other videos for Dr. Makis too.)
I responded: "Many aren't open to it. Ever since a few years ago, I have had more and more people seek me out...some who were very closed-minded about any and all forms of alt med."
Another friend shared he has used it in his dogs since the 90s. I replied: "Most people think it is only for animals. It has been used to treat parasites in people since at least the 70s. I read about the history in the 90s and remember Vietnam was mentioned in one article. It was/is used in adults and children. Besides parasites/cancer, it is also effective in calming cytokine storming. For anyone reading along, grape leaves can also calm a cytokine storm."
He stated he used it with the C germ and he was well in two days.
I shared:
"I took it and it helped me.
I know of a woman whose sister was in such bad shape they had called the family in to say goodbye...and you know they were limiting visitors at this time, so it was bleak. The woman helped her sister with Iverm over the next few days, and her sister made a rapid and unexpected recovery.
If one learns how to calm the cytokine storm, they can ease the suffering and increase survivability in a number of illnesses.
There is research showing that doxycycline with ivermectin combined are very effective.
Not Iverm related, but storming related: When Clint had the germ of a few years ago, he started having issues breathing. He was taking herbs. He'd get better and then go back down. The pulse ox showed his O2 levels were getting too low. I asked him to go to the ER to be checked out. They admitted him. Based on his lung scans, they said he was just starting with c-pneumonia and was going to go downhill. They predicted at least a 5-day stay, probably longer. They released him a little over 24 hours later and said they didn't know why, but he wasn't getting worse...he was getting better! His lung scans had improved in a big way. The herbs he was taking stopped the cytokine storming response." We learned a lot from this visit. 1. We confirmed C-germ diagnosis. 2. Scans showed what I suspected in his lungs. 3. Drs verified the pulse ox was correct. 4. We learned the herbs were working. I am as certain as I can be (without going through it again) that upping the dosage and frequency will work better. A long-time practicing clinical herbalist and naturopath have also agreed with me on this.
For those reading along who are interested in learning what natural things will suppress cytokine storming, research curcumin (chemical in Turmeric), luteolin (celery, broccoli, chrysanthemum, etc), peperine (black pepper), and resveratrol (Japanese Knotweed, Grape leaves, etc). Grape leaves contain resveratrol (and also some helpful flavonoids). People eat grape leaves in Greek dishes, so even the most hesitant person regarding plant medicine should feel comfortable giving them a try when needed. I harvest at least 2 5-gallon buckets of grape leaves and dry them every year. I grind some and put them into a mixed greens powder and use them in soups, stews, smoothies, capsules, etc. If we don't use all of the leaves I harvested, the rabbits and chickens enjoy them.
Also, for those following along, keep in mind: Dosages and frequency are important in herbal medicine. There are maintenance dosages and therapeutic dosages. Those dosages on the bottles on the shelves in stores, I call those "low liability" dosages. Most of the time, they are very low dosages.
If herbal medicine has not worked for you in the past, it could be the diagnosis was off, the herbs were "dead," or the dosage/frequency was too low."
"For many of you, this one is probably in your yard or close by. Pine needles contain abundant resveratrol and other chemicals which also inhibit cytokine storms. They also inhibit cellular attachment and viral replication of coronaviruses like Covid-19. Pine needles also work very well against other respiratory viruses like colds and influenzas. Make sure you are using Pinus spp and not the Yew aka Taxus. As always, do your own research and make your own decisions."

When reading research, it is important to understand WHO, HOW, and WHY. This may be helpful:
