Case Report: Inoperable Metastatic Esophageal Adenocarcinoma, age 66, Male

No Chemotherapy or Radiation; Fenbendazole and Other Substances Only

Fenbendazole Can Cure Cancer presents Case Reports of people who have treated their own cancers along with other articles to help understand how fenbendazole works. Previous articles covering other cancers are in the Archives link.

This Case Report is from a 66 year old man with metastatic esophageal cancer that had spread to the lungs and lymph nodes. It was determined that the cancer was too advanced for surgery or radiation but he was given palliative chemotherapy. Palliative chemotherapy is typically used when the cancer has spread extensively, is inoperable and chemotherapy is not being used in an attempt to eradicate the cancer. The main goal of palliative chemotherapy treatment is to try to improve the quality of remaining life.

Hi Ben, I have an update for you. I received my results from my scan of last week and I’m still cancer free!

I had Stage 4 Esophageal Adenocarcinoma that was large, 18 centimeters long, that had metastasized primarily to one of my lungs and lymph nodes in the region as well. I also had some lumps in my back that were suspected as cancer too. The cancer had also enveloped veins and arteries in the area which is the main reason why surgery wasn’t considered an option for me. My oncologists determined that my cancer was too advanced for radiation or chemotherapy as well, so I was in real trouble.

They did give me some basic chemotherapy consisting of fluoracil and Herzuma to make my final days more comfortable but I was told these would not get rid of the cancer.

I am cancer free today. I give the glory to God, and deepest heartfelt thanks to the folks here and in a facebook group that helped me through this! Because I was given up on I started doing my own research. There are many different types of substances that appear to have anti-cancer properties so I figured I’d use as many as I could in the short time period I had try them. Here is what I did:

• 222 mg packet of fenbendazole (Panacur-C), once per day
• 2 ml Shiaqga Rapid Immune Recovery (mushroom, frankencense, black cumin, lemon), twice per day
• Multigenics Intensive Care multivitamin (no iron), once per day
• 400 mg Calcium, twice per day
• 1000 IU Vitamin D3, twice per day
• 99 mg Potassium, twice per day
• 5000 mg Vitamin B12, once per day
• 600 mg Curcumin (Theracumin HP), twice per day
• 1000 mg Milk Thistle Extract, once per day
• 33 mg CBD (Recepta Relief 33 Fresh Berry CBD), once per day

I followed this protocol for about 14 months, and I started to feel better at around three months or so into it. In April I was determined to be cancer free, no evidence of disease! And just last week, early November, follow up testing and scans were NED, meaning I’m still cancer free. So that is eight months and counting of being cured! THANK YOU JESUS!

Now I take the one 222 mg packet of Panacur-C each day along with the Theracumin, milk thistle, potassium, and a lot of Jesus!

Proverbs 17:22 tells us, “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine; but a broken spirit drieth the bones.” Prayer and laughter (good attitude) were essential in my recovery!

A. R., Lexington KY November 4, 2023

Q: Any side effects from anything you were taking?
A: No.

Q: Some of the substances in your list aren’t typically associated with anti-cancer effects, like potassium?
A: OK, those other things like potassium and calcium I took for heart health, B12 for energy, vitamin D for bones and the milk thistle as a liver detox agent. Fenbendazole is what killed the cancer.

Q: Did you tell your doctor you were using fenbendazole?
A: After I started to rally I went to see them and told them about what I was doing. No response from them.

Q: We’re a little confused regarding the timing here? When did you start fenbendazole and when did you first get updated diagnostics?
A: I started fenben in July/August of 2022 and then in April of this year I was first declared cancer free, and then again a follow-up in early Nov. found no evidence of cancer. I felt better pretty soon after starting fenben, after about three months or so. So I’ve been clear for at least 8 months or so as of now.

Q: Did you get any covid shots or boosters?
A: None.

Q: Anything else you’d like to add?
A: For me, I realized something good was happening when I started to feel better. It was easier to swallow which made life so much more normal. The tumors were shrinking which enabled my body to function more normally.

Summary

This Case Report is of a man who received no treatments that would eradicate his cancer, other than what he did for himself. The average survival time with inoperable esophageal cancer is not long, maybe a couple months in many instances (Besharat et al., 2008) while the 5 year survival rate with chemotherapy, radiation and surgery is 8% to 20% (Pultrum et al., 2006). Tumor size is also a significant factor in survival prognosis, with larger tumors associated with poorer outcome (Zeybek et al., 2013); A.R.’s tumor was extremely large. At 14 months survival so far, A.R. has greatly beaten the odds against him compared to others with inoperable, untreatable esophageal cancer.

How did he do it? He didn’t give up, he did his research then threw the kitchen sink at his cancer. He also had a great attitude and faith, which are emerging as common traits in many of the Case Report success stories described here.

Fenbendazole vs. Mebendazole vs. Albendazole vs. Flubendazole: The benzimidazoles are very similar chemically and they have very similar mechanisms of action with respect to disrupting microtubule function, specifically defined as binding to the colchicine-sensitive site of the beta subunit of helminithic (parasite) tubulin thereby disrupting binding of that beta unit with the alpha unit of tubulin which blocks intracellular transport and glucose absorption (Guerini et al., 2019). If someone asks you how fenbendazole kills the cancer cells, the answer is in italics in the previous sentence.

The class of drugs known as benzimidazoles includes fenbendazole, mebendazole, albendazole and flubendazole. Mebendazole is the form that is approved for human use while fenbendazole is approved for veterinary use. The main difference is the cost. Mebendazole is expensive ~$555 per 100 mg pill, while fenbendazole is inexpensive ~48 cents per 222 mg free powder dose (Williams, 2019). As you may recall, albendazole is the form used to treat intestinal parasites in India and these cost 2 cents per pill. FYI, to illustrate how Americans are screwed by Big Pharma, two pills of mebendazole cost just $4 in the UK, 27 cents per 100 mg pill in India and $555 per 100 mg pill in the US.

While most of the pre-clinical research uses mebendazole, probably because it is the FDA-approved-for-humans form of fenbendazole, virtually all of the self-treating clinical reports involve the use of fenbendazole. Because the preclinical cancer studies use mebendazole (ironically the human form of fenbendazole) and humans self-treat their cancers with fenbendazole (the animal form of mebendazole) it is very reasonable to assume that mebendazole and fenbendazole are functional equivalents with respect to cancer. It would be helpful if future pre-clinical and clinical investigations simply used fenbendazole as a practical matter. For the purposes of this Substack, fenbendazole, mebendazole and albendazole are used interchangably.

Where to get fenbendazole
In our experience and the experiences of those that write in, it appears that the three readily available brands of fenbendazole (Panacur-C, FenBen Labs, Happy Healing Labs) are equally effective. Panacur-C can be obtained locally in pet stores, while they all can be obtained from Amazon.

If you would like to report your experiences with fenbendazole you can do so privately by email fenbendazole77@gmail.com or more publically in the Comments section in any of the articles. Also, if you know of people who’ve tried fenbendazole, and it didn’t work, we’d be especially interested in hearing from you now. Understanding the conditions and factors that enhance or impede the success of fenbendazole in treating cancer are valuable.
