Dr. Andreas Kalcker promotes treatment of cancer using Chlorine Dioxide Solution to first reach a clinical redox plateau, then introduces albendazole/fenbendazole to impose mitotic stress, and then adds ivermectin to quiet excitatory signaling. In this scenario, the fenbendazole is used to block glucose handling by cancer cells to limit energy availability, and destabilize microtubules to hinder cell division. Is his theory sound? Is his timed sequence a more elegant way to utilize fenbendazole effectively to derive benefit?ClosedNicola asked 2 weeks ago • Healing Modalities43 views0 answers0 votesA practitioner asks: “An article [on the Internet] discusses the potential of fenbendazole, a common antiparasitic drug used in veterinary medicine, as a treatment for cancer. Fenbendazole (FBZ) has gained attention due to anecdotal reports suggesting it may have anticancer properties. FBZ may also enhance the efficacy of traditional cancer treatments like chemotherapy and radiation. FBZ though has no clinical literature as an anti-cancer treatment. How likely is it that FBZ could be a safe and effective anti-cancer treatment given that there are no treatment protocols, dosage, or side effect knowledge?”ClosedNicola asked 2 weeks ago • Healing Modalities143 views0 answers0 votesAdvanced Bionutritionals recently announced sale of Thyrovanz which contains 100 mg of bovine thyroid glandular powder. This natural ingredient includes thyroid hormones T1, T2, T3, T4, and Calcitonin, which supports healthy thyroid function. Is the only advantage of Thyrovanz that it will better help the 15% of hypothyroid patients who have abnormal conversion of T4 to T3 than would be done using the Armour Thyroid extract, or does Thyrovanz also deliver a healthier balance or more effective supplementation of endogenous hormone production?ClosedNicola asked 2 weeks ago • Healing Modalities85 views0 answers0 votesIs Thyrovanz, an extract of bovine thyroid glands containing thyroid hormones T4, T3, T2, T1, and Calcitonin, a safe and effective hormonal source for reversing hypothyroidism? What percent of those with low thyroid function would be helped significantly to regain their energy and resolve their other symptoms?ClosedNicola asked 2 weeks ago • Healing Modalities89 views0 answers0 votesIs Thyrovanz more effective than Synthroid (levothyroxine, a synthetic form of thyroxine)? Does it suppress natural thyroid hormone production like Synthroid, creating the need for lifelong administration?ClosedNicola asked 2 weeks ago • Healing Modalities22 views0 answers0 votesHow would you rank Thyrovanz compared with prescription Armour Thyroid, which has both T4 and T3 from pig thyroid glands, or would each supplement be more advantageous for specific subpopulations of sufferers?

What is causing these conditions and what will help her heal?ClosedNicola asked 2 weeks ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers29 views0 answers0 votesI am concerned about recommending people take 12 mg of ivermectin daily for 3 weeks (along with hydroxychloroquine). Was I over-influenced by having that interchange with [Name Withheld] about “his protocol” to believe that giving both compounds would effect a viral cleanout? Was this a lesson to me about being more thorough, knowing as I investigated the literature about appropriate doses of ivermectin I would see the pharmacokinetic data, revealing the inability of oral administration to reach antiviral concentrations? What is most important for me to know?ClosedNicola asked 2 weeks ago • Healing Modalities44 views0 answers0 votesRecommending use of ivermectin in a way that is not even scientifically supportable seems like a big risk, even if you say it will work. What am I missing? How can high protein binding not be a hindrance to achieving a therapeutic exposure to free drug? Is there a scientific phenomenon here not yet scientifically understood or appreciated, at least not be me? Can you give us a tutorial to explain your continued endorsement and value of ivermectin, in addition to hydroxychloroquine which has demonstrated in vivo efficacy as an antiviral?ClosedNicola asked 2 weeks ago • Healing Modalities27 views0 answers0 votesIn a paper on the pharmacokinetics of ivermectin, they report that even at a very high dose, free plasma levels never get close to the concentration needed, shown by in vitro studies, to demonstrate antiviral activity because ivermectin is 93% bound to plasma proteins. Yet, you have reassured us that taking an oral dose of 12 mg daily for 3 weeks would be effective in many cases for getting a profound, if not total, eradication of susceptible chronic viruses. Can you explain how that is possible?ClosedNicola asked 2 weeks ago • Healing Modalities24 views0 answers0 votesA study was just reported that ivermectin, in a nanoparticle formulation for helping to cross the blood-brain barrier, was highly effective in shrinking brain tumors in rats by 70% after giving a tiny daily dose for 10 days. Because of poor drug delivery to the brain without a special formulation, does this mean that ivermectin will not be effective in treating dementia, despite its antiviral activity?ClosedNicola asked 2 weeks ago • Healing Modalities31 views0 answers0 votesPhysicians usually mandate stopping all other drug use when administering chemotherapy. Can that directive be safely ignored in the case of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine?ClosedNicola asked 4 weeks ago • Healing Modalities67 views0 answers0 votesAssuming that chemotherapy will suppress the immune system, will that lower the benefit from the ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine? Is it best for this or safety reasons to have a drug-free period in between?ClosedNicola asked 4 weeks ago • Healing Modalities137 views0 answers0 votesWhen using ivermectin plus hydroxychloroquine for cancer, is it advisable to do a second round of administration for extra thoroughness? If so, after what interval?ClosedNicola asked 4 weeks ago • Healing Modalities54 views0 answers0 votesFor administering ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, we have seen a recommendation to give the ivermectin on an empty stomach 1 hour prior to a meal, but to give hydroxychloroquine along with a meal. Ivermectin with a fatty meal can reportedly reach higher blood levels and might be less well tolerated in terms of GI complaints, but that might be advantageous and worth trying if tolerated. What is the best dosing regimen when using these together as joint antiviral and anticancer agents?ClosedNicola asked 4 weeks ago • Healing Modalities56 views0 answers0 votes
