Let's start off with ivermectin. [0:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/U2airDt6T3XC/en/ivermectin-and-cancer-dosage-and-treatment-claims?t=4) What, what sort of doses might we be thinking about for what's ... [0:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/U2airDt6T3XC/en/ivermectin-and-cancer-dosage-and-treatment-claims?t=8) M- maybe just give some examples of conditions that you've, y- where you've got personal experience. [0:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/U2airDt6T3XC/en/ivermectin-and-cancer-dosage-and-treatment-claims?t=13) The starting dose, uh, that I look at with ivermectin is one milligram per kilogram per day. [0:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/U2airDt6T3XC/en/ivermectin-and-cancer-dosage-and-treatment-claims?t=21) Quite high. And, and it is a little bit high. Uh, uh, I always say this is about five, about five times the dose that you would use for COVID-19 or, or a parasite infection, for example. [0:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/U2airDt6T3XC/en/ivermectin-and-cancer-dosage-and-treatment-claims?t=31) Yeah. Is thi- And- Is, is this with ... What, what level of cancer is this with? Sorry. [0:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/U2airDt6T3XC/en/ivermectin-and-cancer-dosage-and-treatment-claims?t=36) This would be with, with, with most cancers, sort of intermediate to high-grade cancers. Now, for low-grade cancers, you could certainly start lower at, at half a, half a milligram per kilogram per day. [0:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/U2airDt6T3XC/en/ivermectin-and-cancer-dosage-and-treatment-claims?t=46) And so for a 60-kilogram person, uh, typical starting dose would be about 60 milligrams of ivermectin. [0:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/U2airDt6T3XC/en/ivermectin-and-cancer-dosage-and-treatment-claims?t=52) But for low-grade ca- something like, uh, CLL, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, that's been, you know, simmering for many years, or maybe, maybe multiple myeloma, I start lower at, at half a milligram per kilogram. [1:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/U2airDt6T3XC/en/ivermectin-and-cancer-dosage-and-treatment-claims?t=63) So that'll be something like 30 milligrams- Right ... of ivermectin a day. Uh, and that's more in the range of a, a, a dose for, uh, a viral infection or a parasitic infection. [1:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/U2airDt6T3XC/en/ivermectin-and-cancer-dosage-and-treatment-claims?t=74) Yeah. Uh- And is that six days a week? That's seven days a week. [1:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/U2airDt6T3XC/en/ivermectin-and-cancer-dosage-and-treatment-claims?t=77) Seven days a week. Seven. For, for how many weeks? [1:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/U2airDt6T3XC/en/ivermectin-and-cancer-dosage-and-treatment-claims?t=79) Uh, well, so I suggest, um, patients try ivermectin, uh, for cancer for three months, and I'll tell you the reasoning behind that. [1:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/U2airDt6T3XC/en/ivermectin-and-cancer-dosage-and-treatment-claims?t=90) Uh, and then with a reassessment of some kind, looking at blood work, uh, cancer markers, for example, or looking at follow-up imaging. [1:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/U2airDt6T3XC/en/ivermectin-and-cancer-dosage-and-treatment-claims?t=98) Um, the reason why I say three months is because from my experience, I have seen, uh, a response to ivermectin on cancer markers as early as three, four weeks. [1:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/U2airDt6T3XC/en/ivermectin-and-cancer-dosage-and-treatment-claims?t=108) So this is, uh, markers like prostate-specific antigen, PSA. [1:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/U2airDt6T3XC/en/ivermectin-and-cancer-dosage-and-treatment-claims?t=113) We could see a drop in the PSA. We could see a, a drop in CEA or CA 125, uh, or these other more specialized, uh, markers for breast cancer, for example, like- Th- these are basically chemicals given off by the cancer cells- Exactly. And you can see- ... that allow us to- And you can s- you can see those start to drop. [2:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/U2airDt6T3XC/en/ivermectin-and-cancer-dosage-and-treatment-claims?t=130) Now, they are, they're not perfect tests, but they are surrogates for cancer activ- the level of cancer activity or- Mm-hmm ... the level of tu- tumor burden. Uh, how much cancer, how much active cancer is there, uh, that where these cancer cells are producing these markers. [2:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/U2airDt6T3XC/en/ivermectin-and-cancer-dosage-and-treatment-claims?t=145) You could see those markers start to drop, and you can actually start to see, uh, the activity of the tumors start to drop on a, on a PET scan, a positron emission tomography scan, uh, in about a month. [2:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/U2airDt6T3XC/en/ivermectin-and-cancer-dosage-and-treatment-claims?t=156) But it takes a little bit longer to start seeing tumors physically shrink, uh, lymph nodes shrink, you know, primary tumor shrink. [2:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/U2airDt6T3XC/en/ivermectin-and-cancer-dosage-and-treatment-claims?t=164) That takes about two to three months to see that, to start seeing that on imaging like MRI, PET CT, or CT. So you wanna give it a good three months to see if, if you've got, if you have a response. You could, you could, you could monitor it on the blood markers. [2:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/U2airDt6T3XC/en/ivermectin-and-cancer-dosage-and-treatment-claims?t=179) Um, within a month or so, you could start seeing if there is a response, and then after two, three months, you could actually start seeing, uh, responses on imaging. And I'll tell you the most dramatic results that I've seen, and I get attacked from both sides. I get attacked from conventional oncology on this, and [3:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/U2airDt6T3XC/en/ivermectin-and-cancer-dosage-and-treatment-claims?t=195) I g- I get attacked from the sort of health freedom movement on this. [3:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/U2airDt6T3XC/en/ivermectin-and-cancer-dosage-and-treatment-claims?t=199) But the best results I've seen in my patients are patients who are doing a combination of chemotherapy and ivermectin. [3:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/U2airDt6T3XC/en/ivermectin-and-cancer-dosage-and-treatment-claims?t=206) Um- ... and then combine it with, uh, either fenbendazole ... and then combine it with, uh, either fenbendazole or albendazole as well. [3:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/U2airDt6T3XC/en/ivermectin-and-cancer-dosage-and-treatment-claims?t=211) A- and but when you do the combination treatment- Mm ... there's a certain synergy. Uh- Mm ... and, and that synergy's documented in preclinical research- Mm ... uh, where you get a lot more cancer cell killing with the combination than with any of those agents by themselves. [3:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/U2airDt6T3XC/en/ivermectin-and-cancer-dosage-and-treatment-claims?t=227) Well, it's consistent with, with what we were saying before about the sensitization of the malignant cells.
