I did not have the tumor removed. I asked the surgeon to do an excisional biopsy but he just got the biopsy. I was diagnosed stage 4 metastatic squamous cell head and neck cancer.

Thanks for sharing. What a fab story! I just wanted to ask did she initially have a lesion on her clavicle removed & then sometime later cancer grew, or was it metastatic by the time it was found?

p.s. Benzyl alcohol seems to have a greater solution ratio. But it is not an anti-cancer agent, like DMSO is. :-)

Hi Peter,

The only questions I have about James Anderson's document are the following two sentences:

Nr. 1:

"Generally, a 1:10 ratio of Fenbendazole to DMSO is considered a ⁣good ‌starting ​point for⁤ most purposes.‍" The reason why I question it is, because he does not mention the units. For a ratio, the units always must be known - for instance, 1 mg of Fenben to 10 ml of DMSO.

Nr. 2:

"typically 1⁢ gram⁣ per ​10 ml ​of DMSO."

That means 1000 mg of Fenben will dissolve in 10 ml of DMSO, (or 100 mg will dissolve in 1 ml.) This contradicts most other reports, where 10 mg of Fenben dissolves in 1 ml of DMSO. It seems to me that 100 mg per 1 ml is a large amount, and may not dissolve.

I meant to ask mr. Anderson, but have not gotten around to it....

Just keep it in mind.

:-)

That's a very good point on finding out the proper ratios. Sometimes I would see that when people would be recommending fenbendazole using panicur c - from what I remember there's 222 mg of fenbendazole in 1,000 mg ( 1 gram ) of pedicur c . And they would be say they're taking a gram of it a day and I wondered if they were taking a gram of panicur c containing 222 mg of fenbendazole or were they taking a 1000 mg of fenbendazole in about four to five packages of panacur c ? I listen to Dr Campbell and he is from the UK and often they discuss vitamin D3 and here in the states we measure it in nanograms per milliliter (ng/ ml) and I believe over there in the UK

They measure it in nanomoles per liter nmol/ L) . Similar confusion with vitamin D3 supplements sometimes measured in micrograms or alternately international units- in this world of ridiculous rules why don't they have both measurements on a supplement bottle.It's been decades since I had my last chemistry class but I could see why people could get very confused and mix up micrograms with milligrams (and grams to a lesser extent). Thanks for pointing out those questionable things in the DMSO solvent info .

Zonder Reden's avatar

Yeah, it's very confusing. Even the metric system that's based on factors of 1000 is confusing. That's because the names in the series of measurements for liquids versus those for dry stuff are not equivalent. For instance, there is the name Kilogram for dry stuff, but there is no Kiloliter for liquids. That's where it goes haywire. The equivalents for dry stuff and liquids are not lined up properly. For instance, there are a 1000 milligrams in a Gram, and there are a 1000 milliliters in a Liter, that all seems to make sense. But a Liter is not the equivalent of a Gram, as it should be if the series ran parallel... Weirdly, in the current system of measurements the Liter is the equivalent of the Kilogram. If you juxtapose all the names for dry stuff measurements with the names for liquid measurements, you will see that they do not line up. For dry stuff: Kilogram --> 1000 Grams --> 1000 milligrams --> 1000 micrograms. For liquids: Liter --> 1000 milliliters --> 1000 microliters. Because the series for liquids does not start with the Kiloliter, the Liter lines up with the Kilogram, and so the entire series for dry stuff and the series for liquids are shifted by one level: the Liter lines up with the Kilogram, and the milliliter lines up with the Gram. If the series started out with the Kiloliter, all the units of measurement would be neatly lined up, and understandable in tems of their relationships in weights and volume. A Kiloliter of water would weigh a Kilogram. A Liter of water would weigh a Gram. A milliliter of water would weigh a milligram, and a microliter of water would weigh a microgram. But it does not work that way: a Liter weighs a Kilogram, a milliliter weighs a Gram, a microliter weighs a milligram. It's because the Kilogram equivalent in the series for liquid measurements was omitted for some reason. (Then there are all these names, corresponding to various factors of 10, like centigram, centimeter, deciliter, millimeter, hectometer, kilometer, meter, centiliter, etc. Making it hard to see the relationship between dry stuff and liquids and volume.)

I was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in January 2024. I started taking Fenbendazole and Ivermectin along with Ketruda (Pembrolizumab - Merck Immunotherapy). 222 mg. Why 222 mg? That's how the pill comes, lol. My cancer is in retreat, I'm now stage 3. More importantly I'm pain free and enjoying the summer : )

Dr. Paul Marik from the FLCCC has much information on dozens of things that can be used to fight cancer on that website and explains why they can be effective with references to other studies. Things like high dose vitamin D3 ( with K2 i think ) , Ivermectin , fenbendazole ,mebendazole and many others . I have ordered Ivermectin ($1/12 mg ) and Mebendazole ($0.27 /100 mg pill) from all day chemist in India to the U.S. of A. . I'm not sure how shipping is to other countries and how those countries treat getting "prescription" drugs mailed in . I have used the farm store ivermectin also. The happy healing store in the USA sells fenbendazole powder in a pure powder lab form as well as their nano technology " fenbeb bio " which has some other interesting ingredients ( poloxymer, cyclodextrin and and anhydrous glucose) . I'm not sure about those other ingredients but maybe they're a trojan horse for the fenbendazole . I called them and they say the fenbendazole is sourced ( or was source a couple years I go when I called ) from China but they rigorously tested and the guy sent me test results. They also have mushroom products. I haven't ordered from this other store yet called Healty Drops but they have liposomal ivermectin ,fenbendazole , D3 ,C and others. Someone else on this website just put a link to how to mix DMSO with fenbendazole. Dr. Igor Atabekov is an oncologist who uses things like ivermectin and he has dozens of videos on individual non harmful treatments. Dr. Thomas Seyfried from Boston College has cancer is the mostly the result of metabolic dysfunction and he has many videos on how to attempt to correct it.

He never thought much about asking me anything during the first 3 years of treatment. But, he just told me I was unlike any patient he’s ever had. He told me to keep doing whatever I was doing.

I am glad you had good results!

Unfortunately, doctors are not ready to hear it because of how it was drilled in their minds that only chemo or radiation works for cancers. Maybe that is also because they are directly getting percentage of the profits from selling these types of treatments? I have seen a short video about it a while ago. What is frustrating to me is that we have a successful outcome in my family, but my spouse will never consider looking into that thinking that it is a coincidence that it worked.

Here is a useful article that discusses how to make fenben more effective:

https://ar.iiarjournals.org/content/44/9/3725

Oral Fenbendazole for Cancer Therapy in Humans and Animals

JOLIE NGUYEN, THAI Q. NGUYEN, BO HAN and BA X. HOANG

Anticancer Research September 2024, 44 (9) 3725-3735; DOI: https://doi.org/10.21873/anticanres.17197

"This review focuses on the pharmacokinetics of orally administered fenbendazole and its promising anticancer biological activities, such as inhibiting glycolysis, down-regulating glucose uptake, inducing oxidative stress, and enhancing apoptosis in published experimental studies. Additionally, we evaluated the toxicity profile of fenbendazole and discussed possibilities for improving the bioavailability of the drug, enhancing its efficacy, and reducing potential toxicity."

I just reread that article that you suggested .I stumbled across it a while back. It seems that using DMSO or the methyl b cyclodextrin or the other acid thing would be the answer to getting higher levels of fenbendazole to all the cells in the body. The happy healing store sells pure lab fenbendazole (although after calling them they did say that it was source from China but was very rigorously tested and proven to be pure ). They also sell a "FenBen Bio " which uses some sort of freeze dried nanotechnology to make it more bioavailable as well as including "Excipients for this product are a blend of polymers, including: poloxymer, cyclodextrin, and anhydrous glucose " . I called the company and asked a very helpful English-speaking guy about those ingredients and why something would have something similar to a sugar and if it was some sort of Trojan horse mechanism and he said he wasn't really allowed to discuss using it as a treatment for cancer but he said that I was on the right track as far as my guessing if those things were there to get the fenbedazole into the cancer cells. He also sent me some test results of the purity of their products. They also sell a mushroom product and other things. Their pure fenbendazole powder is is very inexpensive and the Fenbeb Bio is more expensive but I figured it out that it is about the same price (or was it less) than panicur c . Liposable technology is another interesting way of getting absorption rates increased. Another company that I haven't bought from yet is called healthy drops and they have many liposome formulas for things like c and D3 as well as fenbendazole and ivermectin. And their prices look inexpensive. I saw another study showing that just mixing Finn bendazole with I believe it was olive oil greatly increases its absorption. And I myself have taken some of the fen Ben pure powder from the happy healing store and tried to mix it in a glass of water and it just floats dry on top but it sure it does mix well with butter and olive oil.

Hi Peter, interesting point about the anhydrous glucose. Cancers love to eat sugar. That's why for the PET scan you get injected with a radioactive sugar substance, that the cancers gobble up. I look forward to reading many more good stories from people who do well with fenben!

Peter Britt's avatar

Low dose naltrexone or LDN has been used for decades to successfully treat autoimmune diseases and cancer. It has almost no side effects and it is very inexpensive. You still have to get a prescription for it through a caring doctor or they have online or over the phone televisits. The doctor I got her from in Massachusetts retired but when I had the prescription I went to a compounding pharmacy in hopkinton and it was about $60 for a 6-month prescription. It's a completely different use for naltrexone than what it was originally designed for. And you only take 3 to 4.5 mg nightly. LDN research group.org had or used to have much information on it.The late Dr. Burt Berkson used alpha lipoic acid, hydroxy citrate, and LDN to keep some of his "terminal" pancreatic metastatic cancer patients alive for years and decades. (He also used alpha lipoic acid- the good quality R form - along with silymarin , selenium, and several necessary b vitamins two repair livers that were deemed to need replacement. Dr Paul Marik on the front line covid critical Care alliance or flcc website outlines many dozens of non harmful treatments for cancer including LDN. He also addresses very successfully trading sepsis by just adding vitamin c and thymine to hydrocortisol. Is all kinds of good information there including repairing vacs injury, covid ,RSV and other ailments. I think they also have a new website called The Independent medical alliance. Another doctor at Yale was stating that he found the cause of almost all autoimmune diseases and it was a bacteria called enterococcus gallinarum ( or was it enterococcus lutentiensis ? ) . I was very interested in that since I developed autoimmune hashimoto's and probably some other autoimmune disorders after getting the flu, pneumonia, and heb b vaccine . I hadn't had a vaccine in decades and I went downhill after the second part of the heb b vaccine and lost 30 lb and I had all kinds of problems going on. Maybe it was a coincidence but I don't think so. Anyway I paid an alternative doctor to do a poop test and I came up with a very high abundance of entertococcus gallinarum and enterrococcus lutentiensis. I paid for two separate tests and one had one variant and one had the other. I wondered if that yale doctor was right about these pathogenic bacteria is causing autoimmune problems. I thought I was going to drive down to Yale and crash one of his weekly pow wows with my lab test but then the plandemic came around and that ended that. I started taking logos iodine and oil of oregano mixed with coconut oil often and I started to feel more like 75% versus 50%. Then when covid was bestowed upon us I followed much of the flcccc's guidelines as well as recommendations from Dr David brownstein and the other brilliant doctors and was taking quercitin ,zinc,c , a, D3 , and many other things and also ivermectin when I got covid ( and worked by myself doing very heavy work everyday) and after having covid a few weeks later I noticed that I actually felt like 98% good again after feeling like death for 3 years. I don't know if I wiped out those bad bacterias or replaced something missing in my diet like magnesium or some other vitamin that I was supplementing with. Or maybe the ivermectin and D3 "fixed" me. I've seen studies that very high dose D3 ( probably should be taken with K2 and the appropriate ratio) has helped reverse autoimmune diseases. And of course you need high D3 levels to fight cancer and any other ailment. I think most doctors think that having 30 nanograms per milliliter is the bottom level of a healthy D3 level but the doctor's eyeball said you should be more up into the 70 range. As another side note I have bought nanotechnology D3 and liposomal D3. Ivermectin is available in a liposomal formula. Happy healing store has a nanotechnology fenbendazole. A company called healthy drops has many different liposomal products including ivermectin and fenbendazole but I haven't bought from them yet. All day chemist in India has ivermectin ($1/ 12mg ) and menbendazole for 27 cents for 100 mg pill. I have bought from them and I've also taken the farm store ivermectin. If you look at the FLCCC 's website and look up the different treatments for cancer that are available that are mostly non harmful it's amazing how many they are and they all probably could be used together synergistically. And it's horribly amazing that none of these things are used by hospitals like Dana-Farber that - in my opinion- MIStreated my mother with their useless poisonous treatments.

Thanks for sharing your story!

I've heard a lot of horror stories about that hep B shot. The flu shot is also crazy and they recently reported that it had negative efficacy!

Bacteria get a bad rap.

In terrain theory, bacteria are the ones who clean up things so the body can eliminate the garbage.

Bacteria feed on dead tissue and debris, not live cells. For example, we have strep A in our throats and ecoli in our intestines and are not infected.

Once you took care of the issues and boosted with supplementation and medicines, the bacteria were able to complete their cleanup and you got better.

BTW, I think ivermectin and fenbenzadole work to help break down toxins which is why it works well in treating numerous issues, including the lipids from the COVID shots which are hard to eliminate and lead to clotting.

No wonder why they tried to ban it everywhere despite it being safer than over the counter crap like Tylenol!

What a wonderful report! Very encouraging! It seems likely it was all the Fenben, or almost all!

I should probably give my most recent update, I.E. my most recent PSMA scan, which is roughly 9 months after my first PSMA scan which was at about year three after stage four diagnosis. These scans are significantly more sensitive than the scans used to diagnose me as stage four back in the fall of 21. I was a little nervous about this scan, because this is over four months after I convinced them to discontinue my testosterone blocking drugs (Orgovix and Erleada), which they wanted me on for life.

Though my PSA had remained undetectable for several years now, I still was a little nervous about coming off of their medications. Anyway, if possible, the already essentially NED previous report got even better.

The only problem with the previous report was that it showed it showed nothing other than a “possible“ new lesion in my cervical spine (neck). At that time it had a minuscule SUV of 4.1. And they said that it might be a new cancerous lesion, or it might be arthritis (in my known arthritic neck).

But this time, even that tiny suspicious spot had shrunk by about half based on SUV to 2.7! And they flat out called it degenerative disease (IOW arthritis). So even without their testosterone blocking drugs with all of their terrible side effects, the news cannot be better at this point, so far so good! I continue with fenbendazole and sometimes ivermectin intermittently, along with a few other repurposed drugs, which hopefully work in synergy. Such as MCP, highly absorbable curcumin, vitamin D3 enough for high blood levels, and ECT/Green tea. Oh, and as always, my somewhat high dose, melatonin, 20 mg every night that is high dose for me, but not near as high dose as some people take.

I am copying from the scan report: “Findings: Primary Tumor: No focal uptake in or around the prostatectomy bed. Nodal disease: No uptake to indicate locoregional nodal disease. Distant metastases: No new abnormal osseous uptake. There has been a decrease in focal uptake involving the left transverse process of T1, now with SUV max of 2.7, previously 4.1. No associated lytic or sclerotic lesion is identified. No change in the numerous small sclerotic osseous lesions in the pelvis and spine without uptake………….

Impression.

1. Decrease in focal uptake involving the left transverse process of T1, likely degenerative in nature. 2. No new or additional sites of abnormal uptake. 3. No change in the multiple sclerotic bone lesions without uptake, likely treated disease. Dictated: 7/1/2025 3:22 PM Electronically Signed by: Dr. ………….”

Blessings to all and good luck with your repurposed drugs!

Hi, can someone tell me more about their experiences with how they absorbed the fenben? It's not water soluble, so the bio activity is low. Dissolving it in DMSO works.

Yeah, thanks. DMSO was recommended, and it too works as an anti cancer agent. I'm still trying to figure out what the minimal ratio of dmso to fenben might be, normally it would be 1 ml for 10 mg fenben. I am not sure how fenben's lack of water solubility is better in animals than in people. Both take the stuff orally. Again, I'm not disputing the efficacy of fenben against cancer, absolutely not, but the water solubility is an issue. I've read a few sci articles about it, plus how to's on making it soluble. This would help the bio activity of the stuff. Check out DMSO too.

From the rural store, I have a jar of liquid fenben for oral dosing. It's not a powder and it doesn't say 'shake before use'. Would this make it more bioavailable in your opinion? There is no mention of ingredients other than 25g/L of fenben.

Expand full comment
Zonder Reden's avatar

Hi Sumpaul, I spent a little time surfing and reading on the internet for "liquid fenbendazole". The fenben seems to be dissolved in benzylalcohol, with water added, which is then delivered orally to animals. Does your bottle say what the solvent is? I reckon it cannot just all be benzylalcohol. In the case of your bottle, if you wanted to ingest 222 mg of fenben, you would have to take 8,9 ml of the liquid. There is a lot written about the powder not being soluble in water, so it is a bit of a mystery to me how it works. Putting it in oil does not make it more water soluble, but people apparently benefit from the fenben nonetheless. I'm just trying to figure out how to increase the bioavailability; the literature states that dissolved fenben (such as in your bottle) increases the bioavailability substantially, like 70%.

From https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/85/62/e4/89a5b634b2d1c7/US5538989.pdf:

"Fenbendazole is insoluble in water. The aqueous suspensions of the compound have been unsatisfactory because the

compound does not stay in suspension. Accordingly, there
