Interesting, but not medical advise

One of the biggest challenges in treating brain cancer and brain metastases is getting therapeutic compounds past the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The BBB acts as a protective shield, tightly regulating which substances can enter the brain. Unfortunately, many promising anticancer compounds—including ivermectin—are actively pumped out of the brain by P-glycoprotein (P-gp), limiting their effectiveness. If you’re using ivermectin as part of your strategy to target brain tumors, understanding how to inhibit P-gp and optimize drug metabolism can make a significant difference. 1️⃣ The Problem: Ivermectin is Actively Pumped Out of the Brain Ivermectin is a substrate of P-gp, meaning that even if it enters the bloodstream, P-gp pushes it out of brain cells before it can exert its anticancer effects. Key Strategies to Improve Ivermectin’s Brain Penetration ✅ Inhibit P-gp to Reduce Efflux (Allows more ivermectin to enter the brain) ✅ Slow Ivermectin Metabolism (Keeps levels higher for longer) ✅ Avoid Compounds that Increase Clearance (Prevents premature breakdown) By strategically combining ivermectin with other compounds, we can increase its concentration in the brain and enhance its anticancer effects. 2️⃣ Enhancing Ivermectin Brain Penetration: The Role of P-gp Inhibitors The best way to help ivermectin cross the BBB is to inhibit P-glycoprotein (P-gp), the transporter that actively removes it from brain cells. Best Natural P-gp Inhibitors to Enhance Ivermectin’s Brain Penetration: ✅ Mebendazole – Antiparasitic drug with anticancer effects; inhibits P-gp and slows ivermectin metabolism by inhibiting CYP3A4. ✅ Quercetin – Flavonoid that strongly inhibits P-gp, allowing more ivermectin to enter the brain, and also has anticancer properties. ✅ Curcumin – Active compound in turmeric; inhibits P-gp, CYP3A4, and has strong anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects. ✅ EGCG (Epigallocatechin Gallate) – Green tea extract that inhibits P-gp, enhances drug bioavailability, and has direct anticancer properties.

Here’s what we plan to do. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below. Monday, Wednesday and Friday (just before HBOT) to be taken with MCT Oil: Curcumin, EGCG, Quercetin, Artemisinin, ALA, Resveratrol, CoQ10, Berberine, Fenbendazole Other daily supplements and off-labels include: Mebendazole, Ivermectin, Vitamin D3 + K2, Magnesium, Omega 3, Milk Thistle (And Zinc once per week) Also, IV Vitamin C once a month just after HBOT. Notes: My mum is on Immunotherapy (Keytruda) and taking blood thinners (Rivaroxaban). ChatGPT: While these supplements and medications have potential benefits, they can also interact with each other or with other treatments. Here’s an overview of possible interactions: 1. Curcumin (Turmeric) • Interactions: • EGCG: Both may enhance antioxidant effects, but there’s a slight risk of increased liver enzyme levels in sensitive individuals. • Quercetin: Synergistic effects; may boost anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. • Berberine: May enhance effects on glucose metabolism but could also increase the risk of gastrointestinal side effects. • Artemisinin: Could interact due to shared effects on liver enzymes. 2. EGCG (Epigallocatechin Gallate) • Interactions: • Curcumin: Synergistic anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. • Quercetin: Both are strong antioxidants and may boost anti-inflammatory effects. • ALA: Can add to antioxidant activity; monitor for potential nausea or upset stomach. • Resveratrol: Synergistic in reducing oxidative stress. • Fenbendazole: No known interactions, but EGCG affects liver enzymes, which could theoretically alter Fenbendazole metabolism. 3. Quercetin • Interactions: • Curcumin, EGCG, Resveratrol: Enhances bioavailability and synergistic antioxidant effects. • ALA: May increase antioxidant activity. • Berberine: May amplify anti-inflammatory and glucose-lowering effects. 4. Artemisinin • Interactions: • Curcumin: Could increase liver enzyme activity, altering the metabolism of both substances.

Many of us when we start our journeys with cancer ask a lot of questions about what can we do. After a lot of research for me this video I stumbled across explains a lot. There is no magic pill for this disease but supplements can help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndwZC8JFdeI
