Ivermectin … Another Use ?

As many of you are already aware, I was a big fan of Ivermectin even before I took it for Covid in late November, 2023. A few days ago I saw “Ivermectin” in the title of a piece in Epoch Health, but the piece had nothing to do with Ivermectin and Covid!

From Epoch Health:

The following summarizes an anecdotal report of what happened to Rick Alderson who was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer back in November, 2020. He was diagnosed with terminal colon cancer, and given only six months to live.

Mr. Alderson got started with 10 rounds of radiation therapy. Initially, his carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), a marker for tumor activity, was significantly elevated, and just continued to go up as the tumor metastasized to his liver with twenty-five metastatic sites identified in his liver. 

Due to concerns about COVID-19 and the ongoing pandemic, Mr. Alderson started looking into preventative medication and found ivermectin.

Further research showed that the drug could likely enhance the effectiveness of his chemotherapy and radiation therapy and was relatively safe. In February 2021, he began taking ivermectin.

By midsummer, his CEA had fallen into the normal range. Of the 25 tumors in his liver, only three remained.

Mr. Alderson went on to live another two years before succumbing to liver failure due to the progression of his three remaining liver tumors.”

Most of those with IDS (Ivermectin Derangement Syndrome) will shrug this off as simply an isolated anecdotal report … however

“There are at least nine perfectly defined cancer targets affected by ivermectin,” Dr. Alfonso Dueñas-González, an oncologist and senior researcher at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, told The Epoch Times.

The first reports of ivermectin’s anti-cancer properties came in 1995. Two French researchers found that ivermectin—a Nobel Prize-winning anti-parasite drug—could reverse multidrug resistance in tumors. The drug targets tumor stem cells—a driver of cancer tumors and relapses—and promotes cancer death.

Ivermectin also enhances the effects of chemo and radiation therapy. It has a broad impact on the immune system, increasing immune offense against cancers.
