Benzimidazoles vs cancer : 140 studies since 2021

Next time an useful idiot will tell you with solemnity : « an ordinary dewormer can not have any effect against cancer, it is scientifically proven« , slap him.

And then show him the list below.

There are 140 studies and papers published in the scientific litterature since 2021, about benzimidazoles carbamates (fenbendazole, mebendazole etc.) and their anticancer properties.

(and many other papers have been published prior to 2021).

This represents hundreds of scientists worldwide.

These molecules have been used for decades (humans and animals) and one of their antitumor properties -destabilization of microtubules – has been known since the 1970s. And by the way, there are 50 patents filled worldwide since 1976 (read my article).

Therefore, the question is quite simple : are all those scientists phony ? Are they all scammers ? Are they all insane ? Are they all fools ?

Or perhaps it is those who deny this mass of work and data who are the fools and the weak minds ?

Rhetorical question obviously…

Finally, be aware that there are studies with other anthelmintics repurposed against cancer, chemically different, such as thiabendazole, niclosamide and of course the famous ivermectin.

But everything – and every dose – in its own time.

Enough talking, here is the list. Nothing fancy : year and month of publication, title, and the proper link to PubMed (so you can check by yourself).

Ready ?
