# Claims About Ivermectin and Benign Tumors, Cysts, and Fibroids - Original post: https://www.twitter.com/i/status/2116583765720113309 - Source account: [@MakisMedicine](https://x.com/MakisMedicine) - Source language: English - Duration: 3:56 - Published: 2026-11-01 - Canonical URL: https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BPAPX7ZGmMum/en/claims-about-ivermectin-and-benign-tumors-cysts-and-fibroids ## Transcript [0:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BPAPX7ZGmMum/en/claims-about-ivermectin-and-benign-tumors-cysts-and-fibroids?t=1) Did you know that ivermectin can actually shrink many benign tumors, not just malignant tumors? [0:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BPAPX7ZGmMum/en/claims-about-ivermectin-and-benign-tumors-cysts-and-fibroids?t=7) The other day I had someone post on my timeline that, um, she was taking ivermectin as a parasite cleanse, and the fibroadenoma in her breast that she had for twenty years disappeared. [0:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BPAPX7ZGmMum/en/claims-about-ivermectin-and-benign-tumors-cysts-and-fibroids?t=20) And then shortly after, there was another patient, female patient, who said that, "Oh yeah, my breast cysts disappeared after taking ivermectin." [0:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BPAPX7ZGmMum/en/claims-about-ivermectin-and-benign-tumors-cysts-and-fibroids?t=29) This is the beauty of social media, is we get patients sharing with us discoveries that they've made, uh, that we really wouldn't otherwise get. No one is researching ivermectin for benign tumors. No one's doing any kind of study like that, and yet we get these serendipitous discoveries that patients share with us. [0:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BPAPX7ZGmMum/en/claims-about-ivermectin-and-benign-tumors-cysts-and-fibroids?t=48) You know, it makes me, uh, think of a breast cancer patient who had come to me, and she was taking ivermectin for breast cancer, and her breast tumor was shrinking, and she was happy about that. But she was much more happy about something else, which was that the large fibroids that she had been suffering with for twenty years [1:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BPAPX7ZGmMum/en/claims-about-ivermectin-and-benign-tumors-cysts-and-fibroids?t=65) had disappeared completely. And it was something that her family doctor couldn't help her with. [1:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BPAPX7ZGmMum/en/claims-about-ivermectin-and-benign-tumors-cysts-and-fibroids?t=72) There was no treatment that her family doctor could suggest. [1:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BPAPX7ZGmMum/en/claims-about-ivermectin-and-benign-tumors-cysts-and-fibroids?t=77) So I've had now about a dozen cases of patients reporting that their benign tumors and cysts had either shrunk or disappeared with ivermectin, and they were taking ivermectin for something completely different, unrelated. [1:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BPAPX7ZGmMum/en/claims-about-ivermectin-and-benign-tumors-cysts-and-fibroids?t=93) Um, I've heard of thyroid nodules disappearing. [1:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BPAPX7ZGmMum/en/claims-about-ivermectin-and-benign-tumors-cysts-and-fibroids?t=97) I've heard of fibroids disappearing. Endometriosis is another thing that women really suffer from, uh, and that can disappear with ivermectin, and of various types of cysts as well. [1:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BPAPX7ZGmMum/en/claims-about-ivermectin-and-benign-tumors-cysts-and-fibroids?t=111) And you know, there is a mechanistic explanation for this. [1:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BPAPX7ZGmMum/en/claims-about-ivermectin-and-benign-tumors-cysts-and-fibroids?t=115) So there is a pathway, signaling pathway, called PAK-one, P-A-K dash one, that drives the growth and proliferation of many tumors, I'd say about fifty percent of malignant tumors. [2:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BPAPX7ZGmMum/en/claims-about-ivermectin-and-benign-tumors-cysts-and-fibroids?t=127) But it also drives the growth of many benign tumors as well. And if you put it in Grok, and you ask Grok, "Does PAK-one drive the growth of fibroids?" [2:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BPAPX7ZGmMum/en/claims-about-ivermectin-and-benign-tumors-cysts-and-fibroids?t=137) It'll say, "Yes, it does." If you ask it if it drives the growth of endometriosis, it'll say, "Yes, it does." But then when you say, "Well, ivermectin shuts down PAK-one. Can ivermectin actually shrink fibroids or endometriosis?" And Grok will say, "No, absolutely not. [2:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BPAPX7ZGmMum/en/claims-about-ivermectin-and-benign-tumors-cysts-and-fibroids?t=153) There's no evidence. Don't even try. Don't even think about it. [2:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BPAPX7ZGmMum/en/claims-about-ivermectin-and-benign-tumors-cysts-and-fibroids?t=156) You're crazy." Right? So there is suppression, uh, with Grok. [2:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BPAPX7ZGmMum/en/claims-about-ivermectin-and-benign-tumors-cysts-and-fibroids?t=162) Uh, it will tell you that, you know, it doesn't do any of these things, that it doesn't shrink these tumors, and yet we hear from many patients that it does. [2:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BPAPX7ZGmMum/en/claims-about-ivermectin-and-benign-tumors-cysts-and-fibroids?t=172) So a simple solution that family doctors should be offering to their patients, um, because there's no treatment for fibroids other than a hysterectomy. You know, if your fibroids are big enough, your doctors will say, "Well, we'll just surgically remove the uterus." [3:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BPAPX7ZGmMum/en/claims-about-ivermectin-and-benign-tumors-cysts-and-fibroids?t=188) Right? Or even endometriosis. Imagine endometriosis is such a terrible disease. Uh, it gives you pain, you know, when you're having sex, or, or it just gives you pain all the time. [3:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BPAPX7ZGmMum/en/claims-about-ivermectin-and-benign-tumors-cysts-and-fibroids?t=200) Um, it can even lead to infertility. Now, imagine that a young woman could take ivermectin, have her endometriosis disappear completely, and avoid things like infertility and pain during sex, right? [3:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BPAPX7ZGmMum/en/claims-about-ivermectin-and-benign-tumors-cysts-and-fibroids?t=213) Those are, those are major life-changing, uh, improvements. [3:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BPAPX7ZGmMum/en/claims-about-ivermectin-and-benign-tumors-cysts-and-fibroids?t=217) And yet family doctors have no clue. Uh, no one's researching it. There's no studies looking at ivermectin shutting down the growth of benign tumors. [3:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BPAPX7ZGmMum/en/claims-about-ivermectin-and-benign-tumors-cysts-and-fibroids?t=227) So it's another very fascinating aspect of ivermectin that nobody knows, nobody talks about, but now you know.
