Stuart Briscoe shared a powerful case from Dr. William Makis, describing a Canadian patient with Stage 4 melanoma and extensive liver metastases who was told he had just 2–3 days to live. The patient’s liver was “completely taken over” with cystic and solid lesions, yet he began a regimen of ivermectin, fenbendazole, and mebendazole — and within two months, most metastases had shrunk or disappeared. The post sparked a multi-layered discussion — from dosing details and brand preferences to broader conversations about the clash between “evidence-based medicine” and the lived experiences of patients seeking alternative protocols. ✅ Key Protocol Components Shared - Makis Clinic Protocol (used in the case): - Stuart explained he splits his doses into smaller amounts across the day to maintain peak serum levels for longer. - Discussion about titrating doses — starting higher (some patients reportedly used up to 2.5mg/kg ivermectin) until scans showed regression, then tapering. - Mention of mixing fenbendazole with fats (yogurt, olive oil, butter) to boost absorption. - Brand considerations: Stuart likes US-manufactured tablets but rotates between FenBenLab, Wormentel, and Indian sources, echoing Dr. Makis’ recommendation to mix brands. ✅ Scientific & Philosophical Insights - Stuart framed the case as proof against the claim that fenbendazole damages the liver — pointing out that it was used successfully in a patient with liver failure. - John Brebeuf Garcia voiced frustration with medical professionals at MD Anderson who dismiss ivermectin, fenbendazole, and mebendazole as “not evidence-based,” noting how these attitudes can drain hope and energy from patients exploring alternatives. - This led to a deeper philosophical exchange: - The discussion even touched on faith and humility — “no atheists in a foxhole” — with several members noting how life-threatening illness often deepens spiritual reflection. ✅ Practical Wisdom from Community - Absorption & dosing tips: Splitting doses, taking fenbendazole with fats, and rotating brands to avoid reliance on one supplier. - Quality checks: Members suggested reading Amazon reviews and mixing manufacturers based on Dr. Makis’ clinical guidance.
