It’s a dog deworming medicine that contains fenbendazole.
They tried to grow cancer in lab rats and the cancer failed to grow because they had been dewormed with this med. there are trials and there have been some humans use it with good outcomes. If I had cancer, I’d give it a shot, worse that could happen is you still have cancer but no worms.

Christ was considered weird as frick, too. Einstein was considered weird as frick. I'm sure Stacy Erholtz's cure was just a coincidence. Is there a spot near you where can stick my head in the sand?

If they cured cancer, they would just move on to the next thing without a cure. I guess Alzheimer’s would be up next. Maybe heart disease.
Heart disease would be a good one bc you can prevent a lot of it by exercising and not being fat. So it will always be a problem in America.

You don't have health and disability insurance with your employer?
This sounds like a critical illness policy. Pays a lump sum in the event of a major illness.

If congress passed a law that EVERY person in the USA, that's diagnosed with cancer (no matter what kind) immediately gets disability benefits until they are done with the disease, how fast would a cure be discovered/revealed?
Steve Jobs had cancer and a lot of money and couldn’t buy himself a cure. Magic still beating AIDS, but cancer is the cruelest of afflictions.

Kind of on topic, but I don't think many people know, Aflac (I'm sure other companies do as well) offers cancer insurance. They pay you for your treatments, which comes in handy when you are missing work. It's not very expensive either. Something I'll likely purchase in the future with my family's cancer history.
Critical illness policy. I have one (with AFLAC) offered through my work. Costs like $8/month.
