Loading ...Verterinary Drug Shows Promise as Potential Lung Cancer Treatment
During 2020, I heard of the drug Ivermectin for the first time in my life. I had come across it mentioned in an article online where it was reported that veterinary medication was showing promise as an anti-cancer agent. Certain cancers in particular were responding well and research was underway in tumor suppression. Later that year Ivermectin again came to my attention when reports surfaced that it was a remarkable cure for Covid. I was fascinated and hooked. A drug created for parasite treatment in pets was also found to be useful in treating Corona Virus, colds, flus and cancer is as unlikely sounding a story as can be imagined.
Naturally that development led me to begin reading more about other veterinary medications and it was in 2021 I began learning that another pet medication was reportedly showing excellent results in the treatment of Cancers and assorted tumors in human subjects. That drug is called Fenbendazole. Its prescribed for dogs! Being a farmer I actually had a bottle of it in my cabinet. But mine was for deworming cattle and sheep (although the molecule is likely identical to the dog version).
So I took a closer look at the bottle since I recalled it was a blended product with another medication. I was unfamiliar with the second medication. It is called Rafoxanide. And would you not know it but after doing a little digging I came across a recent research article published at the National Institute of Health (NIH) reporting the current discovery of Rafoxanide as a novel agent for the treatment of lung cancer (NSCLC). Promising research as it turns out although its still in the early stages of testing. Here is the conclusion from that paper:
In the present study, we found that rafoxanide can inhibit NSCLC cell growth and migration, and
induce cell ERs. The UPR and autophagy were activated to eliminate the ERs, however, excessive
ERs could induce cell apoptosis. Additionally, a xenograft mouse model was used to determine
the effect of rafoxanide treatment on NSCLC, the results indicated that rafoxanide significantly
suppressed the NSCLC tumor growth in vivo. Collectively, these findings indicated that rafox-
anide might be a potential anti-cancer drug for NSCLC.
Rafoxanide markedly decreases the growth and inhibits the invasion and migration of NSCLC cells.
Wow! Of course I had to pass this along to those of you who are also interested in why these anthelmintic (anti-parasite) drugs keep coming up roses where cancer is concerned. And curious minds want to know….are cancers really parasite infestations? Your guess is as good as mine. You will have to do your own follow up on this story of course. I am certainly not suggesting anyone take this stuff. In fact I would strongly advise against it. I am not a Doctor and I have no medical training. Like you I am simply someone who reads a lot online and just found this to be a fascinating development. Very little information is currently available on human use of this drug. So this story is breaking. But you may want to keep the name on your radar as research progresses because maybe….just maybe, it has a future.
You may read the research paper in the link below:
Image below is just a sample snapshot of a product seen online. This is an example only. It is NOT advertising and I do not know anything about the company selling it or the quality of the product. This is not therefore a recommendation of any kind. Take note there is a cute picture of a cow on the box. It is a veterinary medication. Not intended for human use.
Farmer — an important post for future reference – thanks!
Welcome Kewl2, I hoped others like yourself would also see the value. I had checked on Rumble and some other popular sites like Brighteon. Nobody else has picked this story up yet so we are the first to mention it here at the Tent. Even on Youtube the only discussion was about its use and prescription for animals. But none have touched its potential as an anti-cancer drug.
What is a parasite?
Something that is alive, attaching itself to the inside of something else that is alive and using it as a host to feed off of.
We think of cancers as abnormal (non native) cells inside of us growing at the expense of normal tissue.
How do we distinguish? Just semantics?
Only thing I can think of is motility. Parasites conjure up invasive.
That sounds exactly right pedro_deleon. What I find fascinating is that scientists who study parasites have been saying for years that when they look under a microscope, parasite clusters are indistiguishable from cancer cells. You would think that straightforward observation would get a lot more attention. But instead we are offered treatments so severe for the human body that patients regularly die after getting Radiation or Chemotherapy. This is one case where pill popping is preferable if a cure is possible.
The link does not work for me.
Corrected! Very sorry Briguy. That was my mistake linking to a PDF file instead of the online article. Try it again. It links to a “Nature” publication now. It is the identical material as found on the NIH website but cleaner looking.
Thanks You Sir Farmer …a scholar and a gentleman.
These antiparasitic drugs are potentially wonder drugs.

Great! You know, had Covid never come along we would probably never have heard about any of these potential cancer treatments. That’s just one of the reasons this is a great time to be alive. We are seeing breakthroughs one after another in human health. All thanks to the pushback against the machinations of the global elite. It was they who were the impetus of discovery.
Have you any of this stuff on hand for the Donkey?
I do have lots of Ivermectin …both in pill form and the animal version …Mojo is as healthy as…an Ass
The current new thinking is that cancers are a metabolic disease, whereby the normal cells, revert to an anaerobic state, due to cell damage. They do not need oxygen to survive, instead consume sugars at 400 times more than the normal cell.
This being the case, cancer cells could be classified as “parasites”, needing only access to glucose in quantity, to grow and multiply. Without glucose, cancer cells will die. So another part of treatment, is fasting combined with a low carb diet.
