Autophagy & Fasting (Vasten)
Autofagie is het natuurlijke proces waarbij het lichaam beschadigde cellen opruimt en recycleert. Door periodiek te vasten (bijvoorbeeld 24-72 uur) proberen patiÃĢnten kankercellen "uit te hongeren" of de effectiviteit van chemotherapie te verhogen terwijl gezonde cellen worden beschermd.
Bob Beck Protocol
Een alternatieve methode ontwikkeld door Dr. Robert Beck, bestaande uit vier stappen: bloed-elektrificatie, magnetische pulsering, zilverwater (colloïdaal zilver) en ozonwater. Het richt zich op het elimineren van pathogenen in het bloed.
Budwig Diet
Ontwikkeld door de Duitse biochemica Dr. Johanna Budwig. Het dieet draait om de combinatie van lijnzaadolie en kwark (omega-3 en zwavelhoudende eiwitten) om de celademhaling te herstellen. Het verbiedt bewerkt vet en suiker.
â Budwig Center
Carnivore / Meat Diet
Veel kankerpatiÃĢnten beperken koolhydraten drastisch omdat kankercellen vaak afhankelijk zijn van glucose (suiker) voor hun groei (het Warburg-effect). Meer extreem wordt er alleen dierlijke producten gegeten. Het doel is het volledig elimineren van plantaardige gifstoffen en suikers, waardoor het lichaam in een diepe staat van ketose raakt.
FLCCC Protocol
De Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance biedt protocollen voor 'repurposed drugs'. Naast COVID-19 richten zij zich nu ook op de inzet van middelen zoals Ivermectine bij de ondersteuning van kankerbehandelingen.
Florida Sharman Protocol
Vaak geassocieerd met specifieke combinaties van 'repurposed drugs' (zoals ivermectin en fenbendazole) die populair zijn geworden in Amerikaanse online community's voor patiÃĢnten met gevorderde stadia van kanker.
Hoxsey Protocol
Een kruidentonicum (met onder andere rode klaver en kaliumjodide) dat al sinds de jaren '20 wordt gebruikt. Het richt zich op het ontgiften van het lichaam en het herstellen van de chemische balans.
Jane McLelland Protocol
Gebaseerd op het boek "How to Starve Cancer". McLelland gebruikt een "metabolische kaart" om kankercellen gelijktijdig op meerdere fronten aan te vallen (glucose, glutamine en vetten) met een combinatie van dieet en off-label medicijnen zoals Metformine en Statines.
Joe Tippens Protocol
Het bekendste "Fenben" protocol. Joe Tippens genas van uitgezaaide kleincellige longkanker na het gebruik van Fenbendazole, Curcumine, CBD-olie en Vitamine E.
Keto Diet (Ketogeen dieet)
Een vetrijk, koolhydraatarm dieet dat het lichaam dwingt om vet (ketonen) te verbranden in plaats van suiker. Omdat de meeste kankercellen moeilijk ketonen kunnen verbranden, wordt dit ingezet als metabole therapie.
Dr. Makis Protocol
Dr. William Makis is een oncoloog die onderzoek doet naar het gebruik van hoge doses Ivermectine en Fenbendazole, met name bij wat hij "turbo-kankers" noemt. Zijn protocollen focussen op krachtige antiparasitaire middelen.
Mediterranean Diet
Een dieet rijk aan olijfolie, groenten, fruit, vis en volkoren granen. Het staat bekend om zijn ontstekingsremmende eigenschappen en wordt vaak aanbevolen als het gezondste basisdieet tijdens en na reguliere kankerbehandelingen.
RGCC Regimen (The Greek Test)
RGCC biedt gespecialiseerde bloedtesten aan om circulerende kankercellen (CTC's) te identificeren. Op basis daarvan wordt een gepersonaliseerd regime opgesteld met natuurlijke stoffen en supplementen die specifiek die cellen aanvallen.
â RGCC Group
Dr. Seyfried Protocol
Dr. Thomas Seyfried ziet kanker als een metabole ziekte (schade aan de mitochondriÃĢn) in plaats van een genetische ziekte. Zijn "Press-Pulse" therapie combineert een therapeutisch ketogeen dieet met hyperbare zuurstoftherapie (HBOT) en medicijnen die glucose/glutamine blokkeren.

Mebendazole and Fenbendazole as alternative
Professor Thomas Seyfried published a groundbreaking treatise entitled: Cancer as a Metabolic Disease
đ March 11, 2024Professor Thomas Seyfried elucidates a metabolic breakthrough: tumor cells and parasites exploit identical energy pathways. Benzimidazoles, specifically Mebendazole and Fenbendazole, are structurally similar agents that disrupt these shared metabolic routes. While Mebendazole shows particular efficacy for brain malignancies, Fenbendazole targets various solid tumors by inhibiting the same vital pathways. These repurposed drugs offer a non-toxic 'press-pulse' strategy, essentially starving cancer cells by exploiting their evolutionary similarities to parasites. This approach represents a critical shift toward targeting cancerâs metabolic vulnerabilities, providing a safe, accessible adjunct to traditional oncological protocols. (3 minutes)
Ivermectin and mebendazole, 84% benefit in cancer
Dr. John Campbell, MSc Health Science, Ph.D. Bioscience
đ April 16, 2026A prospective study reveals that combining Ivermectin and Mebendazole shows significant promise for cancer treatment. In a cohort of 197 patients, 84.4% experienced positive clinical outcomes, including tumor regression or stabilization across various cancer types. These repurposed, generic drugs provide a low-cost, low-toxicity alternative to conventional chemotherapy, which costs significantly more. The drugs work synergistically by disrupting microtubules, inhibiting angiogenesis, and targeting cancer stem cells. However, the speaker notes that large-scale clinical trials remain absent due to low profit potential for pharmaceutical companies, calling for urgent independent research to validate and further investigate these potentially life-saving therapeutic benefits for patients. (25 minutes)
Ivermectin and cancer
Dr. William Makis (right), Assistant Clinical Professor & Nuclear Medicine Physician, 110+ peer-reviewed medical publications, 900,000+ followers on social media
đ February 4, 2025Dr. William Makis presents compelling preclinical and anecdotal evidence for ivermectin in advanced cancers. Multiple case reports show dramatic tumor regression and long-term remission in stage 4 patients who failed conventional therapies. Ivermectin disrupts cancer cell metabolism, induces apoptosis, inhibits angiogenesis and metastasis, and enhances immune recognition. Despite robust lab data and decades of safety use for parasites, large randomized human trials are absentâlargely because ivermectin lost patent protection in the 1990s and offers no profit incentive. Dr. Makis argues this financial barrier, not lack of efficacy, explains the absence of mainstream research. (6 minutes)
Fen ben cancer and hard science
Dr. William Makis (right), Assistant Clinical Professor & Nuclear Medicine Physician, 110+ peer-reviewed medical publications, 900,000+ followers on social media
đ February 4, 2025Dr. William Makis presents compelling evidence for repurposed antiparasitics in advanced cancer. Terminal patient Joe Tippens achieved complete remission from stage 4 small cell lung cancer using fenbendazole after failing conventional therapy. Stanford University published a case series of three patients with stage 4 disease who became cancer-free with fenbendazole following multiple lines of failed chemotherapy. Mebendazole is now in clinical trials for colon, prostate and paediatric brain cancers. These agents exploit cancer-specific pathways, including glucose transporter blockade and apoptosis induction. Extensive preclinical data confirm safety and synergy with chemotherapy. (16 minutes)
Complete remissions in stage 4 cancers
Nicolas Hulscher, Master of Public Health, Epidemiology, Epidemiologist & Foundation Administrator at McCullough Foundation
đ April 30, 2026In this short video, epidemiologist Nicolas Hulscher highlights emerging peer-reviewed evidence showing complete remissions of Stage IV cancers using anti-parasitic drugs Ivermectin and Fenbendazole/Mebendazole. He references Mel Gibsonâs account â shared on Joe Roganâs podcast â of three friends who recovered from Stage IV cancer after using these repurposed drugs. Hulscher notes hundreds of studies demonstrating over 12 distinct anti-cancer mechanisms across multiple cancer types. He also cites a recent study where intranasal nano-ivermectin reduced glioblastoma brain tumors by 70% in rats within 10 days, with zero toxicity. The message: inexpensive, long-used medications are showing promising results against advanced cancer. (1 minute)
Ivermectin on Cancer
Dr. Kathleen Ruddy, breast cancer surgeon, principal investigator, Observational Cancer Study, inventor with medical patents
đ August 20, 2024Dr. Kathleen Ruddy was initially skeptical about ivermectin. After extensive literature research, she discovered more than 20 years of scientific evidence for its anti-cancer effect. In a patient with stage 4 prostate cancer, the PSA dropped from hundreds to 1.3 after ivermectin. Multiple bone metastases disappeared, and he regained his vitality. A second patient with two unresectable esophageal tumors saw both tumors completely disappear on scan. These remarkable results underscore the promising potential of repurposed drugs such as ivermectin in advanced cancer. (10 minutes)
New Hope for Cancer Treatment
Dr. Memet Isik (Canada)
đ January 20, 2025In this video from the Holistic Cancer Care Channel, Dr. Memet Isik explores the growing interest in repurposed anti-parasitic drugs fenbendazole and ivermectin as potential cancer treatments. Fenbendazole disrupts microtubules and glucose metabolism in cancer cells, while ivermectin inhibits the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, both potentially leading to cell death. Preclinical studies and anecdotal reports suggest benefits against various cancers, but the video stresses these are experimental findings only. No clinical trials have yet confirmed safety or efficacy in humans. It outlines popular anecdotal protocols (e.g., fenbendazole 222 mg, 3 days on/4 days off; ivermectin 0.2â0.4 mg/kg, 2â3 times weekly) and warns viewers to consult qualified doctors before any use. (10 minutes)
The Anticancer Potential of Ivermectin and Fenbendazole
Dr. Micah Yu, Rheumatologist
đ June 25, 2025Dr. Micah Yu explores the anti-cancer potential of Ivermectin and Fenbendazole. While lab and animal studies show promise across various cancer types, robust human clinical evidence is currently lacking. Consequently, standard dosages aren't established, and oncologists do not yet include them in treatment protocols. However, a human trial is underway at City of Hope. Similarly, Fenbendazole, primarily an animal medication, gained attention through a case report of a lung cancer patientâs recovery alongside supplements like CBD and turmeric. Though these repurposed drugs are inexpensive and accessible, Dr. Yu emphasizes that more human research is essential to validate their efficacy and safety. (6 minutes)
The Anticancer Potential of Ivermectin and Fenbendazole
Dr. Sanjay Juneja, Hematologist and Medical Oncologist
đ September 19, 2024The podcast challenges the somatic mutation theory of cancer, arguing itâs a metabolic disease rooted in mitochondrial dysfunction. Insulin, glucose, and glutamine drive cancer cell growth through fermentation, not genetics. Despite decades of genetic research, progress is stagnant, with diet and obesity being major risk factors. The speakers advocate for metabolic therapiesâlike ketogenic diets and targeting glucose/glutamineâto reduce tumor acidification, enhance treatment efficacy, and improve patient outcomes. They criticize the National Cancer Institute for ignoring this paradigm, calling for a fundamental shift away from gene-focused approaches toward bioenergetics to truly reduce cancer deaths. (80 minutes)
Cancer treatment basics
Professor of Oncology Angus Dalgleish (left)
đ June 10, 2025Professor Angus Dalgleish emphasizes the critical role of innate immunity in advanced cancer control. He highlights three synergistic, low-risk interventions: high-dose vitamin D (maintaining levels >100 nmol/L) to restore immune function, low-dose naltrexone (LDN, 3â4.5 mg nightly) to block IL-6-driven inflammation and enhance chemotherapy/radiotherapy sensitivity, and IMM-101 (heat-killed Mycobacterium) to powerfully stimulate innate immunity and T-cell responses. In stage IV melanoma with liver metastasesâclassically terminalâhe has observed exceptional responses and prolonged survival using these agents. These affordable, repurposed approaches target fundamental immune pathways, offering meaningful benefit. (15 minutes)
Fenbendazole and Cancer: Evidence, Myths & Risks!
Dr. Eloy Roman MD, hematologist-oncologist
đ March 7, 2026In this video, Dr. Eloy Roman presents the current scientific facts about fenbendazole as a potential cancer treatment. He notes a large amount of anecdotal evidence on social media from patients who claim benefits, but stresses there are no randomized clinical trials in humans proving its safety or effectiveness.Preclinical studies (lab and animal models) show promising mechanisms, such as microtubule disruption and proteasome inhibition, similar to some existing chemotherapies. However, Dr. Roman warns that most drugs successful in preclinical testing never reach clinical approval. He highlights many unanswered questions regarding dosage, duration, combination with other therapies, and applicability across different cancer types. (8 minutes)
Florida put Spotlight on Ivermectin
Florida governor Ron DeSantis & first lady Casey DeSantis
đ September 25, 2025Florida has allocated $60 million to fund high-impact cancer research, with a dedicated focus on repurposed generic drugs. A key component targets ivermectin, a low-cost medication (approximately 77 cents per pill) that gained attention after anecdotal reportsâincluding Mel Gibson on Joe Roganâof stage IV cancer patients achieving remission. The initiative aims to rigorously investigate whether ivermectin holds genuine anti-cancer potential, addressing the lack of large-scale trials due to its off-patent status and limited commercial incentive. State leaders emphasize accountability, prevention, and delivering real hope through meaningful, outcome-driven science for patients facing advanced disease. (16 minutes)
How Metabolic Therapy is Changing Lives (patients)
Professor Thomas Seyfried published a groundbreaking treatise entitled: Cancer as a Metabolic Disease
đ November 7, 2023Professor Thomas Seyfried views cancer as a metabolic disease driven by defective oxidative phosphorylation, forcing tumor cells to ferment glucose and glutamine for survival. His therapy restricts these fuels through ketogenic/carnivore diets, intermittent fasting, and glutamine-targeting agents (e.g. DON), often combined with lower-dose chemotherapy. This non-toxic metabolic approach degrades tumors while restoring overall health, avoiding the collateral damage of standard treatments. Four patients share remarkable outcomes: Ronnie (stage 4 ovarian cancer) became cancer-free after 15â18 months; Jeff (stage 4 colon cancer) is thriving after 15â18 months; Diane (stage 2B ovarian cancer) saw markers plummet; Maggie (wife of Brad with stage 4 cancer) achieved remission in one year.

Ivermectin & Fenbendazole: How Iâm Using Them to Fight Stage 4 Cancer (patient)
Carli Williams
đ March 7, 2025Carli Williams, a stage 4 breast cancer patient (second diagnosis after chemo, radiation, and double mastectomy), shares why she is adding fenbendazole and ivermectin to her treatment. She discovered the protocol through multiple âdivineâ coincidences and was inspired by stories of success, including a man whose prostate tumors shrank dramatically. She views it as a low-risk âasymmetric betâ with minimal side effects. In the video she demonstrates her daily protocol: ivermectin horse paste (2 notches), fenbendazole combined with curcumin, vitamin E, liver support, and a CBG tincture, all taken with fat (her coconut-milk chia pudding). She stresses this is not medical advice and will share her upcoming PET scan results. (15 minutes)
Cancer Update (I'm much better off) (patient)
Eke Acres
đ March 19, 2026In this video, this cancer patient explains his decision since September 2025 to completely stop all conventional healthcare and insurance after massive medical bills from cancer treatment nearly wiped out his savings â dropping from nearly $20,000 to $7,000 in under six months. Instead, he adopted a self-managed regimen using Ivermectin and Fenbendazole. The results have been remarkable: not only has his cancer improved significantly, but chronic issues like severe eye infections have completely disappeared. He now feels healthier while saving money. He criticizes the medical system as greedy and vows to buy only vintage items and cut unnecessary expenses going forward. Many followers report similar positive outcomes. (13 minutes)
Q&A with Joe Tippens (patient)
Joe Tippens
đ April 16, 2025In this Facebook Live Q&A, Joe Tippens and his team discuss the current Joe Tippens Protocol for cancer. Fenbendazole is taken at 222 mg daily, 7 days a week for active cancer. For maintenance (after 2 years NED), the recommendation is 3 days on / 4 days off. The protocol also includes four specific Ultra Botanica supplements (Enco products) designed to enhance absorption and target multiple cancer pathways. Joe emphasizes that the protocol can be used alongside conventional treatments (chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy), but patients should work with a qualified integrative or functional practitioner. He notes that combining fenbendazole, mebendazole, and ivermectin is not recommended due to potential neurotoxicity. The focus is on an adjunctive, metabolic approach rather than replacement therapy.

đ Data Insights
Patterns and observations drawn from patient comments and case reports in our database.
â ī¸ Important Note
These insights are derived from what patients and others write in their comments and posts. They are observational patterns from anecdotal reports â not scientific conclusions. They have not been verified through clinical trials. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional for medical decisions.
Statistics from 1,318 Patient Comments
May 1, 2026These comments were written by patients themselves (55%), family members (23%), friends (14%), and pet owners (8%) â in YouTube comments and Facebook posts. This is separate from the 107 Dr. Makis case reports analyzed elsewhere.
Important context: these numbers reflect a self-selection bias. Patients who experience positive results are far more likely to post about it than those who don't. The true effectiveness rate is unknown and cannot be determined from anecdotal comments. Nevertheless, the 9.2% "did not help" responses show that negative outcomes are also reported.
Outcomes by Cancer Type
May 1, 2026Remission rates vary considerably across cancer types. The table below shows the 14 cancer types with at least 10 reports.
| Cancer Type | Total | Remission | Improved | Did Not Help | Remission % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pancreatic cancer | 29 | 15 | 12 | 2 | 51.7% |
| Skin cancer | 73 | 36 | 36 | 1 | 49.3% |
| Colon cancer | 83 | 38 | 34 | 11 | 45.8% |
| Lymph cancer | 24 | 11 | 10 | 3 | 45.8% |
| Lung cancer | 112 | 51 | 56 | 5 | 45.5% |
| Breast cancer | 107 | 46 | 54 | 7 | 43.0% |
| Cervical cancer | 14 | 6 | 7 | 1 | 42.9% |
| Bladder cancer | 38 | 16 | 21 | 1 | 42.1% |
| Blood cancer | 37 | 15 | 19 | 3 | 40.5% |
| Liver cancer | 28 | 10 | 16 | 2 | 35.7% |
| Ovarian cancer | 20 | 7 | 10 | 3 | 35.0% |
| Prostate cancer | 135 | 27 | 89 | 19 | 20.0% |
| Brain cancer | 20 | 1 | 16 | 3 | 5.0% |
Notable observations:
âĸ Pancreatic cancer shows the highest remission rate (51.7%) â remarkable given its normally dire prognosis. However, the sample size is small (29 comments).
âĸ Skin cancer has the lowest failure rate â only 1 out of 73 reports (1.4%) said the treatment did not help.
âĸ Prostate cancer has many reports (135) but a relatively low remission rate (20%). Most patients report improvement rather than complete remission, often measured by PSA levels. This could also be because prostate cancer grows slow and becomes chronic, rather than achieving full remission.
âĸ Brain cancer stands out with only 5% remission. However, 80% of patients still report improvement, suggesting the medications may help manage the disease even if full remission is rare.
Key Findings from the Data
May 1, 2026Solo Use vs. Drug Combinations
Surprisingly, patients using a single medication (757 comments) report a higher remission rate (42.3%) than those combining multiple medications (33.3% from 561 comments). The failure rate is also lower for solo use (7.7% vs. 11.2%).
This may reflect that patients who try combinations are often dealing with more advanced or treatment-resistant cancers. It does not necessarily mean solo use is more effective.
Stage 4 Patients Show Remarkable Results
Of the 347 patients who reported having stage 4 cancer, 43.5% achieved full remission and 50.7% reported improvement. Only 5.8% said the treatment did not help. Stage 4 patients actually report a lower failure rate than the overall population (5.8% vs. 9.2%).
Fenbendazole vs. Ivermectin (Solo Use)
When used alone, fenbendazole shows a slightly higher remission rate (45.1%) compared to ivermectin (38.6%). Both have similar failure rates (7.6% vs. 8.1%). Mebendazole shows the highest solo remission rate (53.8%) but with only 13 reports, this sample is too small for reliable conclusions.
Animals Respond Similarly to Humans
102 comments describe treatment of pets (mostly dogs). Animal outcomes mirror human results: 31.4% remission, 56.9% improved, 11.8% did not help. The slightly higher failure rate may reflect that animals are often treated at a very late stage when the vet has given up.
When It Does Not Work
121 comments (9.2%) report that the treatment did not help. The cancers most associated with failure are prostate cancer (19 reports, 14.1% failure rate) and colon cancer (11 reports, 13.3% failure rate). Among the failures, only 20 patients mentioned stage 4, suggesting that late-stage cancer is not the primary predictor of treatment failure.
Absorption with Fatty Food
Many patients report taking fenbendazole with fatty food (olive oil, MCT oil, peanut butter) to improve absorption. Several comments reference published research showing significantly higher bioavailability when taken with fats.
Liver Function Monitoring
Monitoring liver function is frequently mentioned as important. Some patients report balancing fenbendazole with supplements like milk thistle and alpha lipoic acid to manage liver enzyme levels.
Cycling Is Common Practice
A number of patients report taking medications in cycles rather than continuously â for example, 3 days on and 4 days off, or similar patterns.
Vitamin Supplements Are Widely Combined
Combining repurposed medications with vitamin supplements is very common, especially vitamin D, vitamin C, and curcumin.
Dosages Reported by Patients (YouTube & Facebook)
May 1, 2026253 of 1,318 comments mention specific dosages. The Joe Tippens protocol is the dominant reference point.
| Medication | Most Common Dose | 2nd Most Common | Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fenbendazole | 222mg (40x) | 444mg (36x) | 50â1,774mg | 222mg and 444mg dominate â both from the Joe Tippens protocol (1 or 2 capsules). 888mg (9x) for aggressive cases. |
| Ivermectin | 12mg (36x) | 24mg (17x) | 1â96mg | 12mg is by far the most common â a standard tablet. Higher doses (60â96mg) likely follow the Makis protocol (1mg/kg). |
| Mebendazole | 200mg (3x) | 1,200mg (3x) | 100â2,400mg | Wide range â no dominant dose yet. Only 16 reports with specific dosages. |
đ Dosage Overview of Dr. Makis Cases on Facebook
May 1, 2026Based on 107 documented case reports of Dr. William Makis patients, shared on Facebook. All dosages are daily unless stated otherwise.
| Medication | Standard Dose | High Dose | Most Common | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ivermectin | 1 mg/kg/day | 1.5 mg/kg/day | 1 mg/kg/day (56x) | Weight-based dosing. Absolute doses range 36â108mg. 1.5mg/kg used in 12 cases. |
| Fenbendazole | 1000 mg/day | 1500 mg/day | 1000mg (21x), 1500mg (18x) | 888mg also common (5x). Full range: 222â2000mg. |
| Mebendazole | 1000 mg/day | 1500 mg/day | 1000mg (25x), 1500mg (23x) | Nearly equal split between 1000 and 1500mg. Range: 200â2000mg. |
| CBD Oil | 100 mg/day | â | 100mg (30x) | Most frequently mentioned supplement across all case reports. |
| Modified Citrus Pectin | 15 g/day | â | 15g (8x) | Often combined with CBD Oil in prostate cancer cases. |
âī¸ Dosage Comparison: YouTube Comments vs. Dr. Makis Case Reports

Top 10 Supplements
Named Protocols
Key Insight
Vitamin D is by far the most frequently mentioned supplement â nearly 3Ã more than any other. The Joe Tippens protocol specifically includes vitamin D, vitamin E, and CBD oil alongside fenbendazole, which explains their frequent co-occurrence.
Comparison: Patient Comments vs. Dr. Makis Case Reports
May 1, 2026| Patient Comments (1,318 YouTube & Facebook) |
Dr. Makis Case Reports (107 Facebook posts) |
|
|---|---|---|
| Remission rate | 38.5% | 28.0% |
| Improved rate | 52.3% | 72.0% |
| Did not help | 9.2% | 0% |
| Stage 4 patients | 26% (345 of 1,318) | 56% (60 of 107) |
| Most common fenbendazole dose | 222â444mg | 1,000â1,500mg |
| Most common ivermectin dose | 12â24mg | 60â108mg (1mg/kg) |
| Top supplement | Vitamin D (87x) | CBD Oil (30x) |
| Top protocol | Joe Tippens (72x) | Makis Protocol (107x) |
What explains the differences?
âĸ Higher "improved" / lower "remission" in Makis reports: Dr. Makis publishes ongoing cases where treatment is still progressing. Many patients are measured as "improved" (tumor shrinkage) rather than fully in remission yet.
âĸ 0% failure in Makis reports: These are published success stories. Failures are not published, creating a 100% positive bias.
âĸ Higher dosages in Makis protocol: The Makis protocol uses 3â5Ã higher dosages than the Joe Tippens protocol. This may contribute to the higher response rates but also reflects medically supervised treatment.
âĸ Different supplement profiles: The Joe Tippens protocol centers on vitamin D and vitamin E. The Makis protocol emphasizes CBD oil and Modified Citrus Pectin.

đą How this website was born
In 2024 and 2025, I started watching videos about repurposed drugs being used by cancer patients. What struck me most were the thousands of comments underneath â real people sharing their experiences, their hopes, and their outcomes.
In mid-2025, I learned that a family member of a close friend had been diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer. On April 10, 2025, I sent him links to several videos about repurposed drugs. On January 1, 2026, I received an incredible message back: "Cancer is no longer visible on PET scan."
This story resonated with my circle of friends, who also know cancer patients. And that gave birth to this website. I wanted to give others the opportunity to learn from these videos and especially patient experiences â to collect, organize, and make them searchable in one place.
This website takes no position in the broader debate around repurposed medications. Its sole purpose is to make patient experiences accessible to those who are looking for them â nothing more, nothing less.
This is a personal project. I am not a medical professional. My goal is simply to make patient stories accessible to those who are looking for them.
