Wow, what an article! We must congratulate Sabine Hazan on her unique research which must, in the long term be a valuable contribution to medical science. However we are far from that status at this current time in this dystopian world.
I'm a paid subscriber. Can't 'make' anyone take a look at this and share an insightful comment but I wish I could! Note: I got suspicious of IVM the past few weeks because it actually seems like FB and others are now promoting it (rather than suppressing it). So I did some digging for the other side of the story, triggered again by the fact that all I was seeing lately - IVM sunshine and lollipops. Cures everything from C19, to spike, shedding, cancer, no side effects, safe and effective. (sound familiar?) Yeah. Here me (or what I've found) out. Even though negative information on IVM is somewhat hard to find in the health space, and the literature. I did find a few things that alarmed me. The following is only a small part of that.
CAN IVERMECTIN’S IMMUNOTOXIC EFFECTS UNDERMINE ITS POTENTIAL IN CANCER TREATMENT?
Recent investigations into ivermectin’s potential anti-cancer properties have generated considerable interest in the scientific community. Research has demonstrated that this widely used antiparasitic drug exhibits cytotoxic effects against various cancer cell lines and can induce apoptosis in tumor cells through multiple molecular pathways. Additionally, studies have shown its ability to inhibit tumor growth and metastasis in certain experimental models.
New research, however, reveals concerning evidence about ivermectin’s profound immunotoxic effects on macrophages, key players in the immune system’s anti-cancer response. This immunotoxicity, characterized by DNA damage, compromised phagocytic function, and dysregulation of critical immune pathways, raises serious questions about the drug’s viability as a cancer therapeutic. The delicate balance between ivermectin’s direct anti-cancer properties and its potentially devastating effects on the immune system requires careful consideration, particularly given the crucial role of immune surveillance in cancer control and treatment efficacy.
Recent research has uncovered significant concerns regarding ivermectin’s immunotoxic effects that could potentially negate its benefits as a cancer therapeutic. The drug exhibits substantial cytotoxicity toward macrophages through multiple cellular mechanisms, including DNA double-strand breaks, mitochondria-mediated apoptosis, and dysregulation of the NF-κB signaling pathway. These effects are accompanied by the overproduction of reactive oxygen species and cytochrome C release, indicating severe cellular stress and damage. The impact on macrophage viability is particularly concerning, with research demonstrating dose and time-dependent cell death reaching nearly complete elimination at higher concentrations after 48 hours of exposure.
The drug’s effects extend beyond direct cellular damage to fundamental immune function impairment. Surviving macrophages demonstrate significantly compromised phagocytic capacity and aberrant cytokine production, particularly elevated levels of pro-inflammatory mediators IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α. This disruption of normal macrophage function could severely impair the immune system’s ability to recognize and respond to malignant cells, potentially creating an environment more conducive to tumor growth rather than inhibition. The dysregulation of inflammatory responses could further complicate cancer treatment by promoting chronic inflammation, a known contributor to tumor progression.
Ivermectin’s pharmacological properties present additional challenges for its potential use in cancer treatment. The drug’s limited metabolism and high lipophilicity suggest the possibility of tissue accumulation and prolonged immunosuppressive effects. These characteristics become particularly problematic in the context of cancer therapy, where maintaining robust immune function is crucial for treatment success. Modern cancer treatments increasingly rely on enhancing rather than suppressing immune responses, making ivermectin’s immunotoxic properties potentially counterproductive to current therapeutic strategies.
Furthermore, the comprehensive disruption of macrophage function by ivermectin could have far-reaching implications beyond direct anti-tumor responses. Macrophages play essential roles in foreign body removal, antigen presentation, and the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses. The impairment of these functions could lead to increased susceptibility to infections and potentially compromise other anti-cancer treatments that rely on a functional immune system. This multifaceted impairment of immune function suggests that despite ivermectin’s cytotoxic properties against cancer cells, its use as a cancer therapeutic could potentially undermine the complex immune mechanisms necessary for effective cancer control and treatment response.
While ivermectin’s demonstrated anti-cancer properties initially appeared promising, its severe immunotoxic effects present a significant barrier to its development as a cancer therapeutic. The drug’s ability to compromise fundamental immune functions, particularly those of macrophages, could potentially create more problems than it solves in cancer treatment. As cancer therapy increasingly moves toward immunomodulatory approaches, the introduction of an agent that may severely impair immune function appears counterintuitive and potentially dangerous. These findings suggest that future research into ivermectin’s anti-cancer applications should carefully weigh its potential benefits against its immunosuppressive effects, and perhaps explore ways to mitigate its immune-damaging properties while preserving its anti-tumor activity.
I have some concerns about the calcium bentonite post. You mentioned that you and your wife are “taking” it. Does that mean that you ingest it? When you click the link provided to purchase there is a paragraph about applications. It says one should bathe in it. Also my calcium level is high and I’m wondering if this product will increase it further. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
I cannot diagnose or treat you here. I believe if your calcium is high, it should be investigated. Could be parathyroid issues, which is important to know about. Regarding my and wife, yes we are taking it internally according to the suggestions on the site. I make up 12 oz of the bentonite and add to 1 gallon of water. We let it sit overnight after shaking it well. Then shake well again before pouring out 8 oz in a glass to ingest. For the average person without compounding issues, I don't think it is an excessive source of calcium.
My heart goes out to you for your recent agony. For all the readers that have not had time to comment, we have been praying for your healing and comfort.
I apologize that I had not intended any diagnosis. My pth is crazy because I’m a dialysis pt. My calcium stays at 9.5 so it doesn’t take much to tip the number to 10. Thank you for taking the time to respond. I may decide to bathe in this product.
Also, I thought about you when I saw a commercial for Shingrix vaccine. There was a tiny tiny message at the bottom of tv screen about Guillan Barré warning.
My doctor has had me on ivermectin ever since I was diagnosed with Squamous Cell Carcinoma in 2020. He said it was a cancer preventative.
Andrew, thank you for your posts. Very valuable.
