I have also read in several sources about using Doxycycline. But many of these same sources emphasize (I assume rightly) that protecting gut health, e.g. by minimizing anti-biotics) is also cancer and general health-protective. Could you look into this seeming contradiction? [stage 3 melanoma patient using FenBen and IVM]

That is a great question the following should be considered

Short-term vs. Long-term Use: Using doxycycline for a short duration might not have the same long-lasting impact on the gut as prolonged use.

Probiotics and Diet: Concurrently taking probiotics and consuming a diet rich in fibers and fermented foods can potentially help maintain or restore gut flora balance.

Define 'short-term'. My doc prescribed it for 10 days - every 12 hours, so 20 pills - for cellulitis.

Doxycycline is primarily absorbed in the small intestine and may therefore be one of the antibiotics that have minimal effects on the micro biome. The therapy dose for cancer may also be lower than the one intended to treat infection.

Thanks, Finem (et quaero, quod finem respicis?)--I was wondering the same. I avoid antibiotics at almost-all cost--though I do have a supply, thanks to our esteemed 2SG, of doxy for pets--and given that all members of family either have taken, or are currently taking, swimming lessons, I suppose that they qualify as 'aquatic members of the family'

I do use that. I did not post my entire regimen. :-) I have chosen not to do any current standard-of-care oncology, such as chemo or immuno-therapy. I have done quite a bit of research since my first melanoma was removed 2 years ago, and since it returned last May.

I am intrigued by the metabolic theory of cancer as proposed by Dr Thomas Seyfried and others. I do keep a pretty strict Keto diet, and have winnowed down the literally dozens of things found in Jane McLelland's book and other sources into what I feel comfortable with. Fenben and IVM (as long as I can get them) are the backbone of my "protocol". Thanks for replying!

I learned much of what you talk about when my sister was diagnosed with cancer and tried to help her but she went the conventional route. Died soon after her first Covid shot. But I am armed for the future with that knowledge and what I’m learning here about fenbendazole and IVM. Now doxycycline. I took it for a month last summer for a possible tick bite. I did get horrible sun sensitivity issues--which is warned. It went away after discontinuing doxy. But for cancer I would certainly go there. Success, my friend. We live in a remarkable time.

The issue (IMO) is not whether one will survive cancer. Some do, some do not. But as far as I can tell, all current Standard of Care (SOC) drugs are experimental and can destroy your body and immune system, or even give you other cancers. I want to live as well as I can until I can't.

Check out Dr. Marik's excellent new book: Cancer Care: The Role of Repurposed Drugs and Metabolic Interventions in Treating Cancer Paperback – August 14, 2023 by Paul E Marik (Author)

Already have read it.

It’s a great compilation. My only criticism would be his emphasis on the ketogenic diet. Some cancers, eg prostate cancer, use fat as their primary source of nutrition (at least if they haven’t been pushed into a different adaptation) and approaching that through a ketogenic diet might lead you in the wrong direction.

Don't forget to consider methylene blue per this great info from Dr Ana!

Be very very careful with methylene blue, as most of it is highly impure, and the science on it is at best sketchy.

I'm new to it so definitely open to any useful details. As I understand it, it's important to get pharmaceutical grade, which I believe is USP. (?)

I've perused the book by Mark Sloan and just ordered it.

I am just a cancer patient, and I don’t think that it would be right. I encourage everyone to read the books and peruse the Facebook pages for Joe Tippens protocol. But there are hundreds of such “protocols”. I think a lot of them are stupid, but I try to keep an open mind due to the fact that we’re all cancer patients.

Expand full comment

I’m perusing a lot too including the Joe Tippens story. It all gets so confusing with what you should or shouldn’t do. So I keep taking bits of which makes sense to me (I’m an industrial chemist by trade). You can tell some of the protocols are just designed to get you to buy more supplements. Plenty of FB groups like that pushing their own brand but not being upfront about it. Being able to DM someone like you would be of great value though Idk if that’s possible. At least not through this app

For the JTP, I do not take the cannabis oil. Most of the other supplements are pretty widely accepted as safe, such as anti-inflammatory ones, e.g. curcumin, baby aspirin, Vit. C and D3, etc. My impression from most of the Facebook groups is that many cancer patients are extremely desperate to try ANYTHING. I am sympathetic, but some of these protocols ("pathways") are too complicated to follow, even for a scientist. This is why I have made my peace with JTP, moderate keto diet, and basic supplements.

Thank you, FinemRespice, for sharing your story with us. You give me hope that my 92-year-old mother, just diagnosed with Lymphoma, can receive effective treatment that is much less jarring than traditional chemo offerings that are so highly toxic. One’s quality of life is everything!

2nd Smartest Guy...has been a great source of encouraging information. I am grateful. A friend refused conventional treatments with B/cancer and read books by Mark Sloan, J Mcclelland Chris Beat Cancer, it's been 6 years since, and at every check done in the past at 6 months intervals, she's fine.

It's great to exchange knowledge and information! No advice given here!

It is also the drug I would have used if someone came in my office with worsening COVID back in mid 2020 and after. I was retired then so I wasn't seeing patients. I would have said they had CAP, Community Acquired Pneumonia. I had been treating CAP that way for decades. It probably would have prevented hospitalization, Ventilators and death.

Check into Methylene Blue as well.

Off patent and many amazing abilities.

Methylene blue has also been shown to have potent anti-cancer effects on breast and prostate cancer cells.

I think we've been here before! The reasons many Safe and Effective meds are not developed or/and promoted is obvious to us Proud Conspiracy Theorists, can only be;

1. they work too well and don't suit Big Pharma's need to have lots of ILL PEOPLE to sell drugs to, or

2. they can't justify ridiculously high prices because either the Patent has run out or the Patent is owned outside Big Pharma's members or

3. cheaper alternatives are freely available?

At long last people are coming to their senses with Bill Gates sponsored and now corrupted World Health Organisation. He's the now the controlling benefactor and states "The most lucrative investment I ever made is VACCINES"!

Join the dots, stop risking these deadly depopulating shots and terminate the WHO - NOW!!

Just another example of Big Pharma using their leverage to create more super-wealthy vax company directors.

The FDA has just approved a new Covid vaccine by Novavax for anyone over the age of 12. They did this based on previous safety and effectiveness data rather than a clinical trial of this vaccine. With No new clinical trials! Unbelievable or what? It probably doesn't work but might be less dangerous that mRNA Death Shots sold by others - with ZERO LIABILITY for all consequences.

It's again 'EXPERIMENTAL' Emergency Use Authorisation = But again - No new clinical trials? Why?

The approval of the new Pfizer and Moderna 2023 injections, they call vaccines, were done the same way. No new clinical trials. Who needs those!? The FDA will again pretend ivermectin does not exist as a SAFE pre-existing anti-viral cure! The CDC will approve this new shot as it did for Pfizer's and Moderna's previous crap. Again, it will do so under the unjustifiable (illicit granting) Emergency Use Authorization and they will be distributed and paid for by the federal governments. UNBELIEVABLE!

The CDC repeatedly lied to cover up any/all risk of myocarditis in children from the vaccine. LIES!

NO LIABILITY comes 'FREE' WITH EVERY DEADLY EXPERIMENTAL JAB! Who's playing Russian Roulette with this new crap first? Who's first in line?

The wealth and reach of the pharmaceutical industry is such that they run the relevant US regulatory agencies (look at where the funding comes from). Any products (especially new ones) from this industry should therefore be viewed and used with extreme caution (ie avoided, treat as “guilty until proven innocent”).

The sad truth is that the majority of the world’s gene pool and health has already been undermined by psychopaths with no resulting curtailment of their activities.

There was a doctor in Bangladesh early on in 2020 who saved many many lives using an outpatient treatment protocol using doxycycline + ivermectin. After he was having good results Many others stared to follow suit . I found it very eeerie when antibiotics were restricted at the beginning of the plandemic when it is known that secondary bacterial infections do set in in advanced viral respiratory infections. Thank you for writing this article.

Probably anyone who has been jabbed should start Doxycycline 100 mg a day indefinitely.

Just to clarify please; I've just this second purchased the fishcycline for my 🐠🐟. They are very long lived fish indeed. Given that room temperatures can vary considerably with the seasons, would the fishcycline be better stored in a refrigerator?

I have previously purchased the petdazole and petmectin for my pets which are also very long lived creatures but keep those at ambient room temperature because they're not antibiotics per se.

Great pet products by the way. I can rest assured that I am well placed to look after my menagerie. Thank you for looking out for all the innocent creatures out there. Bless you.
