Immunotherapy became widely known when former President Jimmy Carter’s medical team used it to treat his cancer. When the former president announced in August, 2015 that malignant tumors had been found in both his liver and his brain, most people presumed that he would be dead within months. But just four months later he surprised the world with the news that, following a remarkable and revolutionary new treatment, there was no sign of cancer in his body. The treatment he received was a drug classified as an “immune checkpoint inhibitor”. This class of medications has kicked off a revolution that has demonstrated that cancer can be cured by your own immune system. It just needs a little help. There are now countless drugs based on this principle. In this Article: How does immunotherapy work against cancer? What are the types of immunotherapy? Which cancers are treated with immunotherapy? What are the side effects of immunotherapy?...

Colorectal cancer, which includes cancer of both the colon and the rectum, is the third most common cancer in both men and women in the United States. Colorectal cancer is a type of cancer that Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther) and Robin Gibb (Bee Gees) died from. Rates of colorectal cancers, especially among young people, have been rising in the United States and other countries in the industrialized world, according to a recent American Cancer Society  report . There is encouraging news about the disease on many fronts. Overall, the incidence of colorectal cancer is decreasing, and so are deaths. In 2025, the American Cancer Society said that “colorectal cancer death rates in the past decade have decreased by 1.2% per year for both men and women.” The group credits “earlier detection in screening and improvements in treatment.” Many of these advances have been developed at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK). A disturbing trend involving younger people is undercutt...

Ivermectin and Fenbendazole in Cancer Care: A Functional Medicine Breakthrough As cancer diagnoses rise globally, the urgency for innovative, effective, and supportive therapies grows stronger. A peer-reviewed study has highlighted a groundbreaking protocol combining ivermectin, fenbendazole, and natural compounds such as Vitamin E, curcumin, and CBD. These elements, when used together, demonstrate significant potential in supporting cancer care.  The Study: A Synergistic Approach to Cancer Care The research reveals the combined effects of ivermectin, fenbendazole, and complementary compounds in addressing cancer at multiple levels. While traditionally known as antiparasitic drugs, ivermectin and fenbendazole, when used together, showed potential to modulate cancer pathways and support the body’s natural healing mechanisms. Key Findings from the Study 1. Immune System Modulation:  The protocol enhanced the immune system’s ability t...
