| What They’re Saying About Ivermectin and Cancer | | Dear e-Alert Reader,
If you’ve spent any time online lately, you’ve probably seen it: viral claims that ivermectin—yes, the same drug that stirred up controversy during COVID—is now being hailed as a cancer cure.
Podcasts. Substack. Social media. Even celebrities are chiming in.
And for many in our community—folks who are already wary of Big Pharma’s profit-first playbook—it’s tempting to believe. After all, we’ve seen time and again how natural therapies are downplayed or suppressed in favor of expensive drugs.
But here’s the thing…
Just because Big Pharma ignores something doesn’t make it a cure…

Ivermectin has real uses.
It won a Nobel Prize in 2015 for its role in treating parasitic infections. Topical forms help with conditions like lice and rosacea. And it’s used safely in both humans and animals for specific, well-studied health issues.
But cancer? That’s a whole different story.
Yes, there are lab studies showing ivermectin might slow cancer cells in petri dishes—or in mice. Some early-stage research even suggests it could work in combination with other therapies like immunotherapy.
But there’s a big leap between promising lab results and real-world treatments.
One small study presented earlier this year involved eight patients with advanced breast cancer. Only two showed any response—while six saw their disease progress. Not exactly the miracle some influencers are claiming.
Even the scientists behind that research are urging caution. As one of them put it: “To think that all you have to do is take it, and that’s it? It’s not enough.”
That’s not to say it won’t ever work. If future research proves otherwise, great! But for now, there’s no solid evidence that ivermectin treats cancer in humans. And choosing it instead of evidence-based care could lead to real harm.
Worse still, many patients are so convinced by these internet claims that they don’t tell their doctors they’re using ivermectin. That’s a dangerous recipe for drug interactions and missed treatment opportunities.
So what should you do?
If you're exploring natural options for cancer, talk to a practitioner who values both innovation and integrity. Ask hard questions. Demand real evidence. And remember—hope is good, but false hope is deadly.
We’re all searching for better answers in cancer care. But we can’t afford to fall for hype disguised as help.
Because in the end, your health is too important to gamble on headlines.
To staying sharp, and skeptical,
