For decades, mainstream medicine has treated cancer as a genetic disease—an unregulated growth of cells caused by mutations. Treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy have become standard, despite their severe side effects and often temporary effectiveness. However, a growing body of alternative research, led in part by Canadian oncologist Dr. William Makis, suggests that certain antiparasitic drugs—once used only for worms and infections—may be powerful weapons against cancer.

Could it be that cancer is not what we think it is? Could it, in some cases, be a parasitic infestation that has been misdiagnosed and mistreated? And if so, why is this information not more widely known?

Dr. William Makis: A Revolutionary Approach to Cancer

Dr. William Makis is a Canadian oncologist and researcher who has become a controversial figure in the medical world for his bold claims and research into alternative cancer treatments. His work focuses on repurposing inexpensive, off-patent drugs—including Ivermectin, Fenbendazole, and Mebendazole—to treat and even reverse late-stage cancer.

Makis’ research builds on the work of Dr. Joe Tippens, an American who claimed he had cured his terminal lung cancer using Fenbendazole, a common veterinary dewormer. Tippens’ story went viral, sparking curiosity and further research into antiparasitic drugs and their potential role in fighting cancer.

How Do Antiparasitic Drugs Kill Cancer?

Dr. Makis and other researchers believe that certain antiparasitic drugs exhibit strong anticancer properties through multiple mechanisms, including:

  1. Disrupting Cancer Cell Metabolism – Cancer cells rely on glucose for rapid growth. Some antiparasitics block this pathway, effectively starving tumors.
  2. Triggering Apoptosis (Cell Death) – Normal cells undergo apoptosis (programmed cell death) when they become damaged. Cancer cells evade this process, but antiparasitic drugs seem to reactivate it, causing tumors to shrink.
  3. Blocking Angiogenesis (Blood Supply Formation) – Tumors create their own blood supply to grow. Some of these drugs stop that process.
  4. Immune System Modulation – Some antiparasitic drugs appear to stimulate the immune system, helping it recognize and attack cancer cells.
  5. Targeting Parasites That May Contribute to Cancer – If cancer is linked to parasitic infections, these drugs could be killing the parasites and stopping tumor growth at the source.

Key Antiparasitic Drugs in Cancer Treatment

1. Ivermectin

Originally developed as a treatment for parasitic infections, Ivermectin gained global attention during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, its potential anticancer properties are now gaining recognition.

  • Studies show Ivermectin can inhibit the growth of several types of cancer, including breast, colon, and leukemia.
  • It works by disrupting cancer cell metabolism and increasing apoptosis (cell death).
  • It may also help prevent metastasis (cancer spreading).

2. Fenbendazole

Fenbendazole is an over-the-counter veterinary dewormer used for treating intestinal parasites in animals.

  • It disrupts microtubule function, which cancer cells need to divide and spread.
  • It has been linked to miraculous recoveries in terminal cancer patients, including Joe Tippens.
  • Some people take it alongside vitamins like curcumin and vitamin E to enhance its effects.

3. Mebendazole

Mebendazole is a human antiparasitic drug, closely related to Fenbendazole, used to treat intestinal worms.

  • Research suggests it may be even more effective against certain cancers than chemotherapy.
  • It inhibits tumor blood vessel formation and induces cancer cell apoptosis.
  • It has been studied in brain, lung, and colorectal cancers.

Is Cancer Really a Parasitic Infestation?

One of the most shocking claims emerging from this research is that some tumors may not be what we think they are—they could be parasitic egg sacs or cysts.

At first glance, this idea seems absurd, but there are some compelling arguments that warrant deeper investigation.

1. The Presence of Parasites in Cancer Patients

  • Studies have found parasitic infections in cancerous tumors. For example:

    • Liver flukes (Opisthorchis viverrini) are directly linked to bile duct cancer.
    • Schistosoma parasites increase the risk of bladder and colorectal cancer.
    • Helicobacter pylori, a bacteria that acts similarly to a parasite, is associated with stomach cancer.

  • Some autopsies have revealed worms, flukes, and microscopic parasites inside tumors.

2. Tumors May Contain Foreign DNA

  • Some researchers claim that tumors sometimes contain genetic material that does not match the patient’s DNA.
  • Could this indicate that the tumors are actually growing around parasitic eggs, larvae, or cysts?

3. Cancer and Autoimmune Diseases May Be Linked to Chronic Parasitic Infections

  • If parasites remain hidden in the body for years, they can cause chronic inflammation and immune suppression.
  • This could explain why cancer patients often suffer from low immunity and systemic infections.

Why Would This Information Be Suppressed?

If there is strong evidence that cancer may have a parasitic origin and could be treated with cheap, repurposed drugs, why isn’t this front-page news? The answer may lie in pharmaceutical industry profits.

  • Cancer treatment is a trillion-dollar industry.
    • Chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy are extremely lucrative, even though many patients relapse or die from side effects.
  • Ivermectin, Fenbendazole, and Mebendazole are cheap, off-patent drugs.
    • If these drugs were accepted as effective cancer treatments, the financial loss to Big Pharma would be catastrophic.
  • Research Funding and Medical Censorship
    • Studies that threaten the status quo often lose funding or are dismissed as conspiracy theories.
    • The idea that cancer is a parasite-related disease was ridiculed for decades, despite accumulating evidence.

Final Thoughts: Should You Consider Antiparasitic Drugs for Cancer?

The research into antiparasitic drugs like Ivermectin, Fenbendazole, and Mebendazole is still evolving, but the results from real patients and independent researchers are hard to ignore. While mainstream medicine remains skeptical, many people—especially those with terminal diagnoses—are willing to try alternative approaches.

If you or a loved one is facing cancer or another chronic illness, consider the following steps:

  • Research the available studies on antiparasitic drugs and their effects on cancer.
  • Discuss options with an open-minded doctor or integrative oncologist.
  • If you choose to experiment, follow a structured protocol and monitor results closely.

It is crucial to keep an open mind and question why certain treatments are promoted while others are suppressed. Could it be that the real cure for cancer has been hidden in plain sight?

What do you think? Could parasites be at the root of cancer?

Let’s continue the discussion and push for more research into these promising treatments.
