Interest in repurposed medications such as ivermectin and fenbendazole for cancer treatment has grown rapidly online. While social media and patient communities discuss these drugs enthusiastically, both are off-label and experimental in oncology . Neither is approved for cancer care by major regulatory or guideline bodies, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) . This flagship guide provides a neutral, evidence-aware  discussion of: The scientific landscape Regulatory status Physician perspectives How to approach doctors responsibly Key patient safety considerations Practical resources with direct URLs you can visit today Important: This article is informational and not medical advice. 🔎 1. Why Ivermectin and Fenbendazole Are Discussed in Cancer What Drug Repurposing Is Drug repurposing explores whether existing drugs might work for new diseases, such as cancer. It offers theoretical advantages: Known safety profiles for approved uses Faster potential development...

Abstract Background: Aging and major chronic diseases—including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, neurodegeneration, and certain cancers—share overlapping metabolic abnormalities. Emerging evidence suggests that disturbances in redox balance (NAD⁺/NADH), insulin signaling, and nutrient-sensing pathways (AMPK and mTOR) may represent convergent upstream mechanisms. Objective: To synthesize mechanistic and translational evidence into a unified systems biology model describing how chronic nutrient excess and impaired metabolic oscillation influence aging and disease pathogenesis. Methods: Narrative synthesis of peer-reviewed literature across redox biology, mitochondrial physiology, insulin signaling, geroscience, and neurodegeneration. Emphasis was placed on mechanistic plausibility, human interventional data where available, and cross-disease convergence. Results: Chronic energy surplus is associated with altered NAD⁺/NADH ratios, mitochondrial dysfunction, hyperinsulinemia, p...

Introduction The majority of Americans might be misled by official health recommendations to eat “healthy” vegetable oils. Even the term “vegetable oil” is misleading because it gives you the impression that you are receiving vegetable micronutrients when these oils are actually highly toxic, industrially-processed seed oils. Seed oils are some of the most dangerous items you could eat. Everyone should be informed about seed oils and linoleic acid. Tucker Goodrich and Dr Mercola discussed what will be the topic of Dr Mercola's next book, namely linoleic acid (LA), which he believed is likely the leading contributing cause of virtually all chronic diseases we've encountered over the last century. Unfortunately, this is a topic that most clinicians and health care practitioners who focus on natural medicine have only a superficial understanding of. In a 2025  mechanistic review, published in Advances in Redox Research , Dr Mercola broke down exactly how Linoleic Acid ...
