re: CIA Kept Soviet Cancer Research Classified for 64 Years

I’m probably in the minority on this board who actually has had cancer . Pancreatic cancer diagnosed May 29, 2025. I was treated at UAB O’Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center in Birmingham. Six rounds of folfirinox chemo, then Whipple surgery. The last six rounds of chemo were canceled because they weren’t necessary.
I can honestly say the physicians, nurses and all support staff believe 100% in what they are doing. Is there a better protocol, a better “cure”? Are they doing it “for the money?” I don’t know. I only know that I was diagnosed with one of the Top 3 lethal cancers known to mankind and after all that, I was declared cancer-free on January 26, 2026.
I had friends, acquaintances and strangers messaging me to never do chemo, only fenbendazole and ivermectin, along with various other “holistic” remedies such as eating crushed apricot seeds, dandelion root and 5-day fasts. Not against any of those things. But I went with established medical protocols.

Hey, I'm not saying chemo doesn't work. It certainly does. My dad was recently diagnosed stage 4 lung cancer and he is in full remission now after going the chemo-immuno therapy route. I just wish it worked for everyone that way.
Congratulations, by the way.

How did the chemo treat you? I mean, make you feel?

It sucked. Nausea, weakness, loss of appetite. I lost 20 pounds in two months. Felt like I was being poisoned (because basically I was). I can only say I saw it as a necessary “evil” to kill the cancer cells.

9. In vitro model (cell culture) demonstrating killing of cancer cells.

There are a lot of factors in cancer death rates, but if there was anything approaching a cure or very strong treatment the rate wouldn't likely be as it is.

Did it cause your hair to fall out? I ask because my father also responded really well to chemo, but he didn't lose his hair.

It didn’t “fall out” but it got very thin. I could see it in the shower floor. It has come back as thick and full as ever. The texture is different with more body and wave or whatever, lol.

Interesting. Same with my dad. His hair thinned but he didn't lose it. Glad to hear it, man.

That hierarchy is really helpful in this thread because it shows how different kinds of evidence get weighted.
I'll get practical question re: how this plays out with real patients. Suppose someone has colon cancer and their oncologist says “We have a chemo regimen that’s been studied in thousands of patients. Across large studies, about 65% respond and about 30–40% are alive five years later.”
But the patient has also read stories online about ivermectin or fenbendazole where someone says their tumors shrank or disappeared. If you were the patient in that room, you have to decide how much weight to give the large studies involving thousands of patients (top of your evidence hierarchy) versus the case reports and anecdotes about the other drug (bottom).
That’s the dilemma doctors and patients run into all the time (and it seems a bit like what Kingoftheworld's experience may have been like but I'll let him speak for himself).

Well, one of those studies I linked to you earlier seemed to indicate that fenbendazole improved the effectiveness of chemo. I would say to such a patient that they could do both if they desired.

This book may be a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the topic. Cancer Care: The Role of Repurposed Drugs and Metabolic Interventions in Treating Cancer
I started reading the first PDF and the first table directly states that Ivermectin modulates the Hedgehog signaling pathway, and I don't think there is any evidence at all for this in humans at least. It might be the case that AI hallucinates this, as they do state that these tables were generated by AI. Not a great start for this document though.

What OP disclosed is that the Oncologists wer'nt given the opportunity to even see or know about the research. Sad thing is that with Big Pharma controlling Western Medicine, Drugs, Treatments & Medical School Education/Treatment.....most Doctors would not have looked @ the research anyway.
How many Doctors investigated, researched all the data that was widely available on Covid and Covid Vaccines!? How many Pharmacists researched the abundant evidence that Ivermectin was extremely effective against Covid (shut it down instantly for pennies) and refused to fill prescriptions for one of the safest known, miracle drugs ever invented/administered. There were NO outcries from Pharmacists, instead they enforced the all out BAN on Ivermectin.
Doctors, Pharmacists & Teachers......once respected professions......TANKED & Will Never Regain their Status!
They SOLD OUT (us - you - me) and would'nt even LOOK @ the evidence/data which was abundantly available..... while their patients DIED DEAD!

25 years ago, do you think doctors were letting friends and family members die from ulcers when there was a cheap cure, like an antibiotic? They sure as frick were. Because they didn't know - no one had looked before, then empirical evidence came in and they looked and made studies and wrote peer reviewed papers and now, most people don't remember how common it was for a middle aged person to bleed to death from an ulcer.

Nah she was a good person. But a dumbass for trusting her husband's research over the advice of her Oncologist. It was extremely hard on my wife and her sisters watching their mother die from a treatable cancer with a high survival rate.
Plus at this point I doubt she cares what I think.

Chemotherapy doesn’t work that way on numerous cancers, it isn’t a cure all but it works extremely well on fast growing cancers. It’s not a great option for prostate or other slow growing cancers just like radiation is much more effective on cancers that are difficult to remove surgically

I haven’t read this thread
I know our resident “Doctors” made fun of it
The question is did it get SFProed?
I could write the responses for every
poster on this board
It’s become beyond ridiculous
