Top Oncologist Blows Whistle: ‘Ivermectin Proven More Effective Than Chemotherapy’

Ivermectin has proven more effective than chemotherapy, without any of the debilitating side-effects, according to world-renowned Canadian oncologist Dr. William Makis who cited a major international cancer study to make his case.

Dr. Makis asserts that the study’s findings call for a profound shift in the treatment of advanced breast cancer, as the evidence shows Ivermectin could significantly outperform traditional chemotherapy.

According to Dr. Makis, the anti-parasitic drug Ivermectin has shown staggering results, outperforming the widely-used chemotherapy drug Paclitaxel and destroying cancer stem cells — those responsible for metastasis and recurrence.

Dr. Makis based his urgent plea on a 2017 study by Mexican researchers, which should have fundamentally changed breast cancer treatment. Published as “Ivermectin as an Inhibitor of Cancer Stem Cells,” the study reveals how Ivermectin annihilates breast cancer stem cells, offering new hope for patients battling advanced stages of the disease.

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a small but powerful subpopulation of cells within a tumor. Unlike the bulk of tumor cells, CSCs possess the ability to self-renew indefinitely and are largely responsible for metastasis — the spread of cancer to other parts of the body — and recurrence after treatment.

Traditional chemotherapy treatments, like Paclitaxel, primarily target bulk tumor cells, leaving CSCs untouched and allowing the cancer to return or spread.

In 2009, researchers from MIT and Harvard discovered that another anti-parasitic drug, Salinomycin, could reduce breast cancer stem cells by more than 100-fold compared to chemotherapy.

Building on this discovery, the Mexican researchers identified Ivermectin as the molecule most closely resembling Salinomycin, after screening 1,623 compounds.

The study found that Ivermectin not only killed breast cancer stem cells but did so far more effectively than chemotherapy.

According to the researchers, “Ivermectin preferentially inhibits the viability of Cancer Stem Cell-enriched populations compared with the total cell population. The opposite pattern was observed with paclitaxel treatment.”

Key Findings:

1. Ivermectin outperforms chemotherapy (Paclitaxel): It targets the cancer stem cells that are resistant to traditional treatments.
2. Ivermectin destroys Cancer Stem Cells: These stem cells are responsible for cancer treatment failure, metastasis, and recurrence, making Ivermectin a powerful tool in preventing cancer from spreading or returning.
3. Ivermectin reduces expression of “stemness genes”: These genes are highly expressed in cancer stem cells, and downregulating them weakens the cancer’s ability to regenerate.

The study also highlights Ivermectin’s long-standing safety record, having been used to treat millions of patients with parasitic diseases like onchocerciasis. Given its established safety profile, Ivermectin is a strong candidate for repurposing in cancer therapy.

Despite these remarkable findings, Ivermectin is not widely used to treat breast cancer.

Dr. Makis suggests that the answer lies in systemic barriers within the medical and pharmaceutical industries. The potential of Ivermectin to outperform chemotherapy challenges the current cancer treatment model, which heavily relies on expensive and less effective drugs.

According to Dr. Makis and the 2017 study, Ivermectin should be given to all advanced breast cancer patients. Its ability to target and eliminate cancer stem cells could significantly reduce the risks of treatment failure, metastasis, and recurrence — offering a powerful new approach to battling this deadly disease.

So, why isn’t Ivermectin being used? As Dr. Makis says, “I think we all know the answer.”

New & Improved Joe Tippens Protocol

In 2016, Joe Tippens was diagnosed with non-small-cell lung cancer with extensive metastatic disease. At the advice of a veterinarian friend, he took Fenbendazole together with nanocurcumin, and three months after starting these drugs his PET scan was completely clear.

Below is a modified version of the Joe Tippens protocol, a synergistic combination of fenbendazole, ivermectin and nutraceuticals, updated based on the ivermectin and mebendazole based protocol published in the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine (2024):

• Ivermectin (24 mg, 6 days a week) or in the case of severe aggresive cancers up to 1mg/kg/day (6 days a week).
• Mebendazole (Dose of 200 - 400 mg/day) or Fenbendazole, commonly taken at 300 mg for six days a week, with doses increasing to up to 1 gram in cases of aggressive cancers.
• Vitamin D (62.5 mcg [2500 IU] seven days a week).
• Bio-Available Curcumin (600 mg per day, 7 days a week). 
• Enhanced absorption Berberine (500 mg per day) to starve your cancer of sugar.
• Diet and Lifestyle: Eliminate sugar consumption as supported by the BMJ 2023 umbrella review, which recommends reducing free and added sugars to below 25 g/day and limiting sugar-sweetened beverages to less than one serving per week to reduce adverse health effects. Adopt a whole-food diet and avoid ultra-processed foods, as recommended by the BMJ 2024 guidelines. Additionally, prioritise adequate sleep and effective stress management to support overall health.

*Notes:

• Please note that this protocol now includes the vital Vitamin D addition, with the one day off for the fenbendazole administration. This protocol represents the most comprehensive and cutting edge repurposed drug and vitamin treatment approach to date.
• If you are taking ivermectin and mebendazole, you might not need fenbendazole. Consult your doctor.
• Vitamin E: Removed from the protocol (Joe Tippens, July 22, 2020) due to interactions (e.g., with blood thinners).
