Honest answers about cancer treatments
Cancer is confusing.
We tell you the truth.
Every treatment — hospital medicine or alternative — checked against the actual evidence, graded in plain English, with every source shown. Built by two people who have sat where you sit.
Fenbendazole Unknown
Fenbendazole is a dog de-wormer with real effects on cancer cells in the lab — and zero human trials, ever. The famous recovery story that started it all involved a man who was simultaneously receiving advanced treatment in a clinical trial. What we do have in humans: published reports of liver injury in patients who dosed themselves. Unproven is not the same as disproven — but right now this is a story, not a treatment.
