I’m so very glad this info is getting out so that more ppl can survive this terrible disease. What I am worried about, though, is that the powers-that-be will somehow take fenben and IVM away from us. I would say that if you or someone you know is battling cancer, stock up! I don’t expect the cancer industry will let this big dollar generator go easily.

Absolutely stock up.... And if anyone thinks that our government or big Pharma wouldn't put an additive of some sort in it, think again... They did dispicable things like that during Prohibition days...

I have stage 4 cancer and am in a facebook group that supports use of ivermectin and other repurposed drugs for cancer treatment. There have been quite a lot of reports in the comments that people have experienced visual disturbances at the low and high doses. No one seems to have a definitive answer as to what causes this although it’s generally put down to ‘toxicity’. I’m taking 24mg 3 days on, 4 days off alongside mebendazole (similar to fenben) and am reluctant to go higher because of this alleged toxicity. Please note that I do not have active cancer at present so may rethink higher dose if things worsen. Curious to know your thoughts. Have you come across any science that may explain this? Thank you for your work.

Not really known but it seems to affect neurotransmitter chemistry at high doses, apparently reversibly. Here is a case study of vision disturbances in a child who received IVM 1mg/kg for COVID prophylaxis with some discussion of possible mechanisms: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10082620/. 1mg/kg is about 5 times what the FLCCC used to suggest as prophylaxis for vulnerable patients and it's an inappropriate use anyway for children.

Don't know if I can find the article again, but a doctor spoke about a study that was done that talked about eye sight troubles. It's been quite a while ago that it was done, dosing was never mentioned in the study and this doctor that was reviewing the study figured that they were trying to determine what the detrimental dosage was. The eye issues resolved themselves after the study.... Maybe someone else can chime in and find this study and review..??

Hi Alison,

Dr. Makis has mentioned visual disturbances on his site that were always temporary. In once case I read about recently, the visual disturbances went away after a few days even though the patient didn't cut back on the dosage. So it was only as he started it.

Thank you Leslie. That’s very helpful.

Leslie, I know you are not a doctor and not giving medical advice. Do you have any thoughts or links to share on taking both drugs proactively?

This has not been officially studied as far as I know so I don't have any clinical data. However, I know a few people who take ivermectin for one week every few months as a general parasite cleanse and to inhibit any potential cancer growth. Joe Tippens continues to take fenben to ward off a cancer recurrence but I'm not sure how much or how often. He hasn't noticed any side effects, and he's been taking it for 6 years, so it seems pretty safe.
