Fenbendazole and Joe Tippens

Fenbendazole or FenBen is a dewormer or anthelmintic in the family of drugs called benzimidazoles( I coined it Benz), which have been safely used as anthelmintics for roughly six decades. 

Broad-spectrum anthelmintics comprise three main groups (benzimidazoles [BZ] and probenzimidazoles, imidazothiazoles and tetrahydropyrimidines, and avermectins and milbemycins); they are highly effective against the majority of roundworm species. The majority of benzimidazole carbamate anthelminthics in veterinary and human clinical use were approved nearly 50 years ago. 

There are three members in the benz family, and they are fenbendazole, mebendazole and albendazole.

Fenbendazole is an  an animal anthelmintic. The experience of human use  of fenben is very  limited. I found only 2  published data in 1976. (Ann Trop Med Parasitol. 1976 Jun;70(2):205-11. Effectiveness of single doses of Fenbendazole Hoe 88I against Ascaris, hookworm and Trichuris in man; Bruch K, Haas J. Fenbendazole in doses of 1.0 g and 1.5 g per person were effective against Ascaris and gave substantial egg count reductions against hookworm (mainly Necator americanus). PMID: 779682). In contrast, mebendazole has a long track of safety in humans, even for long term use in humans. 

Dr Mukhopadhyay from MD Anderson first discovered mebendazole has potent anti-cancer activity in lab experiments in 2002. 

Joe Tippens Protocol 

Joe Tippens pioneered the human use of FenBen. Tippens uses Panacur C from  Merck Animal Health. Each gram of Panacur C contains 222 mg of fenbendazole.

Panacur C  one packet of powder (contains 222 mg of fenbendazole) each day for three days, and then  four days off.  You take the fenbendazole with or  without meals.

Comment: Although we don’t have human data, it seems to be safe at this dose, but again, consult your doctors. 

Vitamin E: 400-800 mg daily. Tippens uses Gamma E by Life Extension or Perfect E by Vitamin Discount Center.

Comment: I will reduce the dose Vit E to 200 mg or IU if you have heart disease. 

Curcumin: 600 mg daily.  Tippens uses the product Theracurmin HP by Integrative Therapeutics.

Comment: Generally safe. I use BCM-95®CG (Biocurcumax™) in my clinic simply because it was studied in clinical trials. 

CBD oil 25 mg daily. 

Comment: I use Green Road CBD oil capsules in my clinic. These capsules contain 25mg of  broad-spectrum CBD oil. You can take one capsule per day. 

No need for THC as a part of cancer treatment plan. But this may change as new data emerges.
