Hey everyone,

My father has stage 4 lung cancer with metastasis to the brain. I’m looking to connect with anyone who has personal experience with the Mackis or Tippens protocols, especially if you’ve seen positive results.

If anyone would be open to sharing their experience over a quick call, I’d really appreciate it.

Hi all,

I have a close family member with stage 4 lung cancer.

I have been looking into Ivermectin and Fenbendazole, with so many contradicting reviews.

I am looking for any cancer survivors who were treated by Dr. Makis who would be willing to share their experience.

Thanking you in advance.

Hello,

So ive heard and read alot of people claiming that Ivermectin and Fenbendazole was helpful with their Cancer journey... was wondering if there was anyone willing to get in contact with me directly (through video call or call) to discuss it. My dad is going through some serious stuff now, and its kinda a hail mary at this point. Success stories give hope, but you dont know whats real anymore. Really appreciate if someone reaches out for a discussion / call.

Hi everyone,

My 65-year-old mother was diagnosed with advanced ovarian cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis. She completed 3 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Her latest PET-CT (after 3 cycles of carbotaxol) compared to the baseline shows:

Pelvic mass: SUV max dropped from 12.4 → 1.4, now described as “predominantly cystic”. Size almost same (10.5×15×11.4 cm → 10.3×16×9.9 cm).

Serosal deposits: SUV from 10.8 → 2.22, size and number significantly reduced(60% reduction). PCI improved from 19/39 → 6/39.

CA-125: dropped from 2600 → 48.

Ascites resolved, no new lesions.

Doctors are calling it an above average response and are planning interval debulking surgery soon.

She was also taking ivermectin and mebendazole daily, along with supplements (curcumin, milk thistle, Vitamin D3, Essiac tea, Soursop tea, etc.) and following a low glycemic diet during treatment.

Her abdomen/back pain, bloating, high BP is all gone now and she's eating quite well.

I have a few questions though:

Has anyone had a similar experience? A big drop in SUV max and CA-125 but minimal shrinkage of the main mass (especially cystic changes)?

How was the surgery? Was the reduced metabolic activity making the debulking easier?

Also, Any long-term outcomes from similar profiles?

Any experiences (positive or realistic) from patients or caregivers would be greatly appreciated.

I'm in the UK. I've found a reliable source for fenben that I'm happy with.

We can get Mebendazole here over the counter in chemists, however not at the doses required for our intended use.

So I'm looking at ordering from India for meben and iver. However it's difficult to know who is going to be sending me authentic and legit products.

I was going to go with Ramya healthcare solutions via Indiamart - can anyone tell me if they've ordered from them and if it's legit meds...

Or recommend who I could use to deliver to me in the UK, thanks 🙏

I’m going to be doing 222mg a day for 4 days on 3 days off.

Also looking into getting my ivermectin haven’t looked yet.

But what do I use as a binder can someone explain to me the importance of a binder what it actually does. I do have some black charcoal as well. Do I take the pill first then a binder right after?

Also have read people take olive oil but I’m not sure if that’s before, during or after taking it.

All help is appreciated may God Bless you all.

Alright, so my mother passed away 2 years ago after battling stage 4 pancreatic cancer for almost 2 years. Of course she was undergoing both conventional therapy and some holistic therapy as well (ofcourse it wasnt being followed to the T), back and forth to the hospital, some tumors were removed, others couldn't so they had to keep her on Chemo...and although i know the big C is the cause of it all...but Chemo is what got her at the end...after her last session (high dosage), her body fell apart and it had spread to her brain , putting her in a coma and that was the last of it.
2 years later, my dad (67 years old) was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer...and it's kinda tough this one, because he kind of lost his will to live after what happened to mom....

We are still waiting for the final biopsy results but this was the initial observation (my dad is a doctor so he kind of knows...)

Now i know that i cannot forgive myself if i dont give it my all to try and save my father. Even if he doesnt want to. So my sister, brother-in-law and I have researched this Ivermectin and Fenben protocols (by Makis and Tippins mainly) and are trying to convince our dad with this approach....he told us "sure", and it's obvious that he doesnt believe in it...he's mainly doing it for us to feel like we're helping....

I was talking to him today telling him i secured all the meds for the protocol (Iver, fenben, menben, berberine, apricot seeds etc...), and his reaction to this was "and tell me son...do you really believe that this is true?" in an obvious dissapointed manner....
Of course i know the whole big pharma operation and everything is profit...but he said:
"you are telling me that there is some kind of a cure as they are stating (complete remission and no more tumors) and the world is not revolting? people are not posting videos everyday about it? the survivors themselves are not going online and screaming about it? Doctors who have family members with cancer not exploring this more and more themselves and really exposing this?"

Now my dad is old-school, not on social media or anything, and can barely use the internet.

and honestly...he's kind of right...no where have i found concrete testimonials...its all here-say and low-res photos...i see people starting their journeys on tiktok with these protocols...but never finishing (almost everyone stops posting or ends up with chemo...)

I really want to know your guys thoughts...and if there are any people who followed this protocol that could confirm its effectiveness somehow...
I am 32 years old...and i really want my kids to atleast meet one of their grandparents...i know i wont forgive myself if there is something out there that actually might work or help, and im not being able to convince my dad to go through with it.

Thank you,

My father is 67 years old and has diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. A few days ago doctors found fluid around his left lung and a mass in the left upper lung on CT/PET scan. They suspected primary lung malignancy and performed:

Chest tube/drain

Talc pleurodesis

CT-guided biopsy

The chest tube has now been removed and we are currently waiting for the biopsy/histopathology report.

Right now he is home and stable overall:

Oxygen mostly around 94–95%

BP relatively okay

No major fever after the procedure

No severe chest pain

But he is still:

Very weak

Gets short of breath when standing/walking a little

Has very low appetite

Feels nausea/dil kharab often

Eats only small amounts of soup

Occasionally coughs mucus

Gets sweaty sometimes, especially on the head

He is currently taking:

Ecasil (Linezolid antibiotic)

Heart medicines

Insulin for diabetes

We are trying to give him:

Daal soup

Goat/chicken broth

Kaddu soup

Eggs

Light fluids

I know nobody can diagnose online and we are following with doctors. I’m just emotionally overwhelmed and wanted to ask:

Is this kind of weakness/appetite loss common 4–5 days after pleurodesis and chest tube removal?

How long did recovery take for others?

Did anyone experience nausea and poor appetite from Linezolid?

Any tips to improve recovery, breathing, or nutrition?

Would really appreciate hearing real experiences while we wait for the biopsy result ❤️
