On a previous episode, we discussed how the FDA has just settled its lawsuit against three American doctors -- and in so doing, agreed to take down and delete several government webpages that warned people against taking ivermectin.
Seeing as how discussing ivermectin seems to be allowed again by the government and that the COVID-19 pandemic is well behind us, perhaps this is a good opportunity to discuss another off-label use of ivermectin: as a potential therapy for cancer.
Let’s go through the evidence together.

6 Compelling Reasons Why Ivermectin Is a ‘Powerful Drug’ for Fighting Cancer
1. Multiple Anti-Cancer Effects:
Ivermectin impacts at least nine well-defined cancer targets, according to Dr. Alfonso Dueñas-González, an oncologist and senior researcher. He states, "There are at least nine perfectly defined cancer targets affected by ivermectin."
2. Enhances Effects of Chemotherapy and Radiation:
Ivermectin not only targets tumor stem cells and promotes cancer cell death but also "enhances the effects of chemo and radiation therapy."
This broad impact on the immune system increases the offense against cancers, making it a versatile adjunct to conventional treatments.
3. Inhibits Cancer Cell Cycles:
The drug prevents the formation of new cancer cells by inhibiting cancer cell cycles and inducing mitochondrial stress, which leads to the killing of cancer cells. This mechanism is crucial for stopping the proliferation of cancerous cells.
4. Prevents Formation of New Blood Vessels Near Cancer Cells:
Ivermectin prevents cancer survival by inhibiting the formation of new blood vessels that transport energy and fuel to cancers. This action starves the cancer cells, hindering their growth and spread.
5. Synergizes with Immunotherapy:
Dr. Peter P. Lee, chair of immuno-oncology at the City of Hope, found that ivermectin could synergize with immune checkpoint inhibitor anti-PD1, enhancing the body's immune response to fight cancer.
"What we’re learning is that ivermectin is going to be a very powerful drug in the context of really carefully developed immunotherapy combinations," he said.
6. Targets Cancer Stem Cells:
Ivermectin preferentially targets cancer stem cells, which are a driver of cancer tumors and relapses. By focusing on these cells, ivermectin attacks the root of cancer's resilience and ability to recur.
