The F*** Cancer Thread

There's a ton of research and anecdotal evidence that it can be effective at treatment for certain cancers, at certain stages. What I've learned is it's pointless to post the data (several interesting new peer reviewed studies, which I've posted before in a thread somewhere on FOH), because most people are too stupid, lazy or hubristic to do even the minimum amount of work required to learn anything new. It's like the COVID vaccine debate - plenty of people were saying, "hey, I don't see any evidence this is good at preventing COVID and I don't see any safety data associated with these shots so I think I'm going to pump the brakes before taking it while I await more information", while others were saying "hey you 4chan fascist pieces of shit, get the jab so I can go to Starbucks again - my doctor, everyone I know, and everyone I see on my television assures you it's safe. You're not a doctor nor are you an expert, trust the science asshole!". The same is true with this, only inversed. There are zero safety issues with Mebendazole (and decades of safety studies), and there is zero evidence it contributes to SOC cancer treament interference, so at worst you're taking placebo in conjunction with a typical cancer treatment protocol. Meanwhile, there are several broad peer reviewed studies discussing it's efficacy and safety profile, as well as mechanism of action in reducing cancer cells, and our midwit medical community is like "Snake Oil!11 Fucking lolvermectin again!111 etc etc". Interestingly, after the Mel Gibson interview I'm finding most of the derision to Mel's statements is coming from intelligista/doctors who I know to be vaccinated themselves for COVID (Scott Adamslol) after making the most retarded arguments/assumptions imaginable during that great debate.

The key point to remember is, most doctors and scientists today lack the fundamental attribute REQUIRED to be good at their jobs, on a basic level. They're incurious people. Disregard empathy or altruism, if you go tell your doctor you read something interesting on the interwebz about a plant root from Jamaica that natives have ingested for centuries and they have the lowest rates of (insert medical issue here), and they roll their eyes - Find another doctor. It could be the plant, could be the race of the native people, could be the ground water or diet or any number of variables, but at a minimum, they should, nay MUST be curious. If not, you can assume that they at some basic level they believe medicine and/or science is solved at present, and they aren't going to be good stewards of your health as you age.

I'm not even in medicine, but I find almost all of it interesting. Even when in practice, most (the VAST majority) of new/homepathic/alternative treatments, etc turn out to be snake oil in fact. It's all interesting, because our grasp of what works and doesn't is and should be ever evolving.

Rant off, already drunk on Friday in the 4HL.
