Déjà-vu ? … Ivermectin

Before reading, those of you who read my blog regularly, need to understand that this is not about using Ivermectin to treat Covid. That FDA nonsense has already been retracted. Who can forget, “you are not a horse y’all, so stop it!”

What I read this morning from C&C is about the use of high dose Ivermectin in the successful treatment of different types of cancer.

First, “a new study published last week in Cancer Chemotherapy and Pharmacology titled, “Ivermectin induces nonprotective autophagy by downregulating PAK1 and apoptosis in lung adenocarcinoma cells.

This study suggests the Nobel-winning anti-parasitic drug ivermectin might also cure lung cancer. Specifically, the researchers found that ivermectin kills lung cancer cells both in vitro (Petri dishes) and in vivo (mice). And it works in multiple ways. According to the researchers, ivermectin suppressed lung cancer in at least three different ways:

(1) Ivermectin stopped the cancer cells from growing and dividing,

(2) Ivermectin caused the cancer cells to die (“apoptosis”), and

(3) Ivermectin increased the process of cells breaking down their own damaged or unwanted parts (“autophagy”).”

Wow! Potentially amazing news as lung cancer is one of the cancers with the poorest prognosis. More than half of people with lung cancer die within one year of being diagnosed.

But you’re not a horse, ya’ll. So stop it?

Still from Jeff Childers C&C:

“In related news, on August 29th, the Deseret Review ran a medical op-ed titled, “High-dose Ivermectin shrinks cancer metastases.”

Author Justus R. Hope, MD, began by reporting on patient Rick’s “unsurvivable” stage 4 metastatic turbo colon cancer, which at the time of diagnosis had already spread to his liver and lymph nodes. Rick’s oncologist gave him six months, tops.

But Rick started taking high-dose ivermectin. His tumor markers dropped from 1,489 to 4.7. That’s a big drop. His metastases also calcified and shrank.”

Wow! Stage 4 metastatic colon cancer with a remarkable response to Ivermectin! 

But you’re not a horse, ya’ll. So stop it ?

Next, Dr. Tess Lawrie reported a patient with metastatic ovarian cancer that had already spread to her peritoneum. The patient’s initial tumor markers (Ca125) were high, at 288. After a few weeks of chemo combined with ivermectin, her markers dropped to 22, and the externally-visible traces of the tumor vanished.”

The cancer surgeon in this case was astounded as he found no cancer. He said, “This is extraordinary. No tumor. Some dead cells on the peritoneum that I removed. The biopsy confirmed that everything has gone.”

But you’re not a horse, ya’ll. So stop it ?

Amazing as here we have the same “déjà-vu” as Ivermectin is being used successfully to treat something that is not on its list of usual indications!

Will we soon be hearing again from the FDA intelligentsia
