Curious if anyone is experimenting with Fenbendazole (Menbendazole or Wormentel) more of a gut cleanse of overall parasites for better health.
I know the research is great for Cancer, but more looking to hear people trying it for general health.
I’ve taken them all at times for various reasons. Mebendazole you can get at a local grocery store. Fenbendazole is only labeled for animals, but I am not scared of it from there. I’ve been giving it to farm animals for years and never had a complaint.
I don’t know what to say about it. I’ve never noticed a thing. My daughter has cancer and uses them all like crazy. She’s had no chemo and this week got another clean scan and her Ca125 is near normal. I think they work against cancer and are very safe. Albendazole should be avoided in my opinion.
Fenbendazole is the veterinary version. A fraction of the cost.
FWIW
“The mean wholesale prices of the antiparasitic drugs albendazole (400 mg; Albenza) and mebendazole (600 mg; Emverm) increased between 2010 and 2019 from $3.16 to $582 for albendazole and from $32 to $2853 for mebendazole.”

Yeah, Fenbendazole is what I want to order.
Plan is to run a short cycle on it to eliminate parasites, eliminate any potential underlying cancers and maybe do this every 6 months.
Thanks @Davin8r
I think the research for cancer is well documented.
If I know anyone battling cancer, I would definitely recommend it.
As for most of us here searching for longevity, overall health-- I think it makes sense to cycle this to eliminate Bad Bugs BEFORE they wreak havoc internally.
If anyone has tried it, please let me know any feedback.
I teust this forum, so any “guinea pigs” that I can get info from would be valuable
Since fenbendazole is not currently approved by the FDA or EMA, its pharmacokinetics and safety in humans have yet to be well-documented in medical literature.
Aren’t some parasites assumed to be beneficial for health these days? Some people are trying to reintroduce them into the body rather than eliminate them. Unless this is a targeted approach to eliminate a parasite known to cause issues, I would be cautious because we don’t know enough yet. Some parasites are thought to help prevent or alleviate autoimmune diseases, supporting a more balanced immune response.
It’s an enticing concept to think we’re infested with critters and that all we have to do is “cleanse” them to be pure and healthy. It’s especially great for selling loads of hot garbage to consumers.
In this case, however, the theoretical impact of fenbendazole on cancer appears to be through other mechanisms:
Definitely not something I’d even think of messing with at this point.
If you read The Cancer Code by Jason Fung you will understand prefisely why a dewormer is effective against cancer. If you read How to Starve Cancer by Jane McLelland you will see that an anti-helminth (eg fenbendazole) together with doxycycline, metformin are key components in creating an environment that makes it difficult for cancer to grow. Also look up the “Care Oncology Protocol.”
Mebendazole is the drug most commonly prescribed in the US. But its spectrum of action is limited against flatworms, and it sometimes requires more than one dose for roundworms. A better choice for a one-time prophylactic treatment for worms, after checking drug interactions and contraindications, would be albendazole plus praziquantel. It isn’t necessary to take them at the same time. Both are easily obtained from India. Unlike fenbendazole, they are approved for human use, and those two would provide more coverage. They are both used in MDA programs in some third world country endemic areas (MDA = mass drug administration). They are inexpensive when purchased from Indiamart.
I take praziquantel and albendazole once every six months in the US. They also have anti-cancer properties.
In some areas of the world, especially the Andes region, triclabendazole would be another to consider.
