Reading the comments here gives me a couple ideas. First, thank you for the comments on this article and all the comments on the other articles and Case Reports, it’s how we all learn from each other. Second, regarding the aspirin study…reading between the lines the authors, who are based in India, examined fenbendazole, the veterinary med, not mebendazole, the human version. Why did they do that? Likely because people self treating their cancers are using fenbendazole not mebendazole. Why did they study common OTC substances as cofactors? To make their results applicable and practical. This paper, these researchers are telling you to take an aspirin with your fenbendazole.

Much appreciated work!

A small "I wonder". The Indian paper mentioned 800% increased efficacy of Fenbendazole when combining it's intake with Aspirin (81mg) - many Baby aspirins have an "Enteric coating", which means they are not being dissolved in the stomach! A fact considered when doing the research??

Based on comments concerning oleic acid, I've switched to taking fenben powder stirred into a big spoon of avocado oil, which is high in oleic acid. Is that not the way to go (in addition to the baby aspirin)? Anyone try that?

How long should one continue to take fenbendazole? My husband, age 76 has stage 4 prostate cancer- went to his bones in 4 places @ 3 years ago ( even though he has dealt with the remission for 25 years)and has been getting radiation off and on for 3 years and a hormone shot monthly . I started him on 222mg fenbendazole for 3 days on, 4 days off since January of this year. He feels incredibly better with a good amount of energy to do things like play 9 holes of golf. How do we know when the parasites are gone? How long should be take the Fenbendazole ? he can’t tell the VA that he is taking fenben,or they would probably stop all his treatments. He still has a tumor in one arm, but only there, no where else, from most recent MRI, which is great news. His PSA is at 2, so that is good too, from taking a hormone shot monthly. Is there a test to check if the parasites are gone? Can one continue to take fenben indefinitely? Thanks for helping.

We don’t know. Most, if not all, of the case report people here continue on fenben after full remission. Hopefully we’ll get some informed guidance from the legitimate medical community soon.

I've been mixing fenben powder with melted butter until it's a slurry. I read that fenben/meben are fat-soluble, so a matrix or carrier of oleic acid will increase bioavailability. Can anyone confirm this?

I read too fast and missed that this was addressed in the article. Still--has increased bioavailability when mixed with oleic acid been confirmed?

Let's hope some clever company creates a commercial version of this new compound.

Yes, that’s based on an animal study but it’s still valid.

You could also take feverfew, a plant with white and yellow flowers, research. On the long run Aspirin will harm your tummy. My tummy started bleeding, painfully. Till then be happy with your medication.

I read that mixing the fenben with MCT oil helps it absorb better ?

Game changer!

Also, I will add that the normally recommended dosages of .222/.444 etc can be increased. Femb3n is very well tolerated by the liver in most people.

Great article!! Thanks !

It would have been interesting if "just" Salicylic acid mixed with the fen...as a poor mans test.

The analogy that sprung to mind was the way we can use Quercetin mixed with zinc etc as a zinc ionophore without making it into a cocrystal.. ..

I would also recommend anyone interested in a new theory that addresses all hallmarks of cancer is mark linterns cell suppression theory. It is basically that cancer is driven by fungal infections. Most all repurposed drugs that are helping with cancer have antifungal properties. The book is called the cancer resolution

I have ovarian cancer. I have used fenbennpure powder from happy healing. I found it very effective. Because of no excipients I mix it with dmso. I changed 3 months ago to am fenben w/dmso and evening I have used meben tablets. I switched to meben because a well known dr suggested it was most effective with ovarian cancer. I have had progression since that time and am curious is the reason is that I may not be absorbing the meben very well. I’m not sure what to do about that. I added a substantial dose of ivermectin and have had some bad effects. It seems that if I take the ivermectin with dmso I get symptoms of brain toxicity. I’m at a loss of what to do about the situation. This is my experience

Theoretically, mebendazole would be a better choice for a GI cancer as it is designed to stay withing the tract. Experiments using mebendazole usually bypass absorption issues by directly applying MBZ to the cancer cells, although there are some orally applied studies. Fenbendazole is the far better and more practical benzimidazole drug to use because of its systemic reach to all tissues, including the brain.

I have a question. Can you put Fenbenzadol in an empty capsule? Also, would you take the aspirin before or with the Fenbendazole”

Fenbendazole kills the so-called cancer cells because the so called cancer cells are really microparasites. It was proven back in the late 1960s by Alfons Weber MD
