Any cases of MBC being successfully treated with Fenbendazole or Mebendazole (the dog deworming protocol?)

Hello, I am wondering if anyone has used this protocol specifically for MBC and had good results? I have found stories online about it helping for other types of cancers but have yet to find if breast cancer is one of the cancers it could help with. Please let me know if anyone has direct experience or can share links specific to this helping with metastasized breast cancer. Thanks so much!

My sister in law used this from being terminal with breast cancer she has no discernible trace, I am also taking it with cbd oil stable but not gone although have not stop sugar which I have just started. Seems works for some and not others, certainly has not done me any harm. Will keep u informed of my journey

That's amazing about your sister in law, how long did she take it for when she started to see results? Did she also get off sugar or change her diet? So hard to stop sugar, I've been using monk fruit sugar which is low-glycemic. It works in lots of recipes but not everything. My mom has been on dewormer for 3 weeks, please keep me posted on your journey and I will do the same.

Do you know about Jane Mac Lleland's book "How to Starve Cancer"? It discusses many off-label drugs in cancer treatment, including membendazole.

My sister did the de-worming treatment for a few years, It had no effect on her at all.

I'm sorry to hear that,. It's helpful to know as with all these treatments, such a variance between people. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Hi Shelley,

I have been taking mebendazole, along with other off-label drugs, since April 2019. I can't say for sure if it has helped, but I don't think it has hurt either. If you are interested in using off-label drugs I would advise you to see an integrative doctor, who can support you and monitor you closely. I wouldn't recommend trying to work it all out on your own. There is the potential to do more harm than good if you do not have a medical background and are not sure of what you are doing.

Thank you for this perspective and it makes a lot of sense. It's been really hard to find the right doctor, and my mom's oncologist is not supportive at all. We are trying to find aa better team.

You’re welcome, Shelley. I know it’s not easy to find the right doctor who can help, but I would urge you to keep looking and not give up. I wish you and your mum all the best.

Hi,

I took Fenbenzadole for about a year (just followed what the website suggests, not under a doctor.) Didn’t have any ill effects but in last couple of months have experienced progression with new mets in lung and first lesion in liver- so it hasn’t helped me.

Hi Jackie, I am so sorry to hear about the progression. Thank you for sharing what your journey was with this medication, it's helpful to hear as we try to navigate.

Hi I have breast cancer with mets and use one month of doxycycline and one month of mebendazole. I did a lot of research and it’s definitely recommended for breast cancer

Shelley_Amber in reply toScandia68

Thanks so much for this info. I have never heard of doxycycline but will investigate further. Did you have any kind of infection or other symptom that made you consider taking the doxycycline, or was it just something you read about that was helping with cancer?

I will chuck in my two penneth for what it's worth. Lobular mbc with extensive mets to bones, some in liver and mesentery. Diagnosed in Jan 2019. started on Letrozole, Ibrance & Denosumab. I also had some surface skin lumps which started shrinking immediately. I started fenbendazole in Aug 2019. My markers (ca-15.3) continued downward and reached normal range in Jan 2020. A scan at that time showed no measurable disease. I had to stop Ibrance as my wbc count was always too low. Onc said it was doing as much harm as good for me. In May I also stopped Letrozole and Denosumab (against onc advice). My tumour markers have since bounced around between 21 and 31 and have now settled for the last couple of months at 31 (a whisker over the normal range which is below 30). The tumour markers have so far been a good indicator for me although they are not for everyone. I have absolutely no symptoms and feel fine. Alongside the fenben I also take turkey tail mushroom powder, high dose melatonin, omega 3 (high strength fish oil), moringa powder, sea buckthorn, green tea extract, passionflower, milk thistle, topical magnesium, kelp (iodine), turmeric, cumin, baby aspirin and (for 10 weeks per year) loratadine. Also vitamin D with K2 on days when I don't get any sun. I am considering adding in artemesinin. I also exercise plenty, meditate and practice yoga daily. I mostly avoid sugar, refined grains and red meat though I try and eat liver once a week and refuse to make rules for myself that I won't want to stick to.

I am not advising anyone to follow what I am doing, just letting you know that I believe fenben works but not necessarily as a magic bullet. I try to put in all the elements that my body may need to heal itself and so far I feel I am doing well. I don't use CBD oil as it is expensive, nor vitamin E as I don't believe it is beneficial for bc.

I hope that gives you food for thought. Good luck and best wishes with whatever you decide. xxx

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply and let me know everything you are doing. My mom is taking a few of these supplements plus mistletoe injections but we will explore these with her naturopath, thanks for sharing. She's now been on Fenben for 3 weeks and so far no real side edffects. I happy to hear about the yoga and meditation, thats such an important part of wellbeing. My mom also has osteoporosis and can't really exercise unfortunately. Good luck with everything and I hope it continues to go well for you. Thank you again.

Hi Shelly_Amber: Yes, I have Estrogen positive MBC with Mets to the left pelvic bone. I have had excellent results with my treatment & it includes Fenbendazole (Joe’s Protocol).

My oncologist has said my response to treatment has been way above average.

Diagnosed MBC: 4/2019

SBRT on Pelvis: 4-5/2019

Started Xgeva, IBrance, Faslodex: 5/2019

Started Fenbendazole: 8/2019

PET/CT Scan: 11/2019 - No cancer, NED

PET/CT Scan: 5/2020 - still NED

PET/CT Scan: 10/2020 - still NED

Look at my profile and see all the supplements I take in addition to the above. I’ve incorporated from books (“How to Starve Cancer” & “Eat to Beat Disease”).

I wish you the best with your decision & treatment.

❤️🙏❤️
