Two of them were done by Johns Hopkins, one of them was done in New York, and a number of trials were done overseas.

[0:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/DeQtplrOk0o7/en/mebendazole-cancer-trials-doses-and-toxicity?t=32) Two hundred milligrams per kilogram. And you know what that translates to?

[0:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/DeQtplrOk0o7/en/mebendazole-cancer-trials-doses-and-toxicity?t=36) If you take, take an average sixty-kilogram person, that's twelve thousand milligrams of mebendazole a day.

[0:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/DeQtplrOk0o7/en/mebendazole-cancer-trials-doses-and-toxicity?t=44) Twelve thousand. Now, you hear oncologists complaining about liver toxicity on fenbendazole doses of five hundred milligrams a day or a thousand milligrams a day, but Johns Hopkins found safety up to twelve thousand milligrams a day.
