Recently Diagnosed or Relapsed? Stop Looking For a Miracle Cure, and Use Evidence-Based Therapies To Enhance Your Treatment and Prolong Your Remission

Multiple Myeloma an incurable disease, but I have spent the last 25 years in remission using a blend of conventional oncology and evidence-based nutrition, supplementation, and lifestyle therapies from peer-reviewed studies that your oncologist probably hasn't told you about.

Myeloma – Fenbendazole, The Vet Cure

Share Button

“The known toxicity profile and selective activity against myeloma cells provide the rationale for considering nocodazole/fenbendazole as future treatment for multiple myeloma.”

As a long-term multiple myeloma survivor and MM coach I’m often asked about non-conventional (not FDA approved) multiple myeloma therapy. In the case of  Fenbendazole, (the vet cure, vet medicine) several people have recently asked me about the possibility of a therapy given to animals being a multiple myeloma therapy.

No question is more conflicting for me. Despite the fact that my own oncologist told be that “we can do nothing more for you” and I achieved complete remission after 17 months taking an evidence-based, non-toxic, non-conventional multiple myeloma therapy, I have tried to walk the line between conventional MM oncology and evidence-based non-conventional MM oncology ever since the launch of PeopleBeatingCancer in June of 2004.

 

There is no question in my mind that conventional MM oncology with its

  • MM diagnostic testing,
  • MM therapies and
  • MM specialists

are central to the lives of MM patients, survivors and caregivers.

Yet my own history as a long-term multiple myeloma survivor is rife with examples of my own oncologists and M.D.’s placing my health and well-being behind their own priorities and interests.

Most importantly, by it’s own admission, conventional MM oncology cannot cure multiple myeloma. If the patient responds, multiple myeloma therapy, on average, will manage multiple myeloma for 5-7 years.

The average five year survival rate for newly diagnosed MM patients is 51%. Years of short, long-term and late stage side effects costing the MM patient hundreds of thousands of dollars will, on average, result in about five years of survival.

So if a newly diagnosed MM patient, a patient who has recently learned that he/she has an incurable cancer,  sends me an email asking about a medicine usually given to animals to de-worm them, I have to do my darnedest to provide information about that non-conventional MM therapy.

  • Fenbendazole has not been researched an approved by the FDA for treatment of multiple myeloma-
  • Fenbendazole is a therapy for animals- please be extra careful-
  • Please read the studies linked and excerpted below-

The fact is, there are dozens of evidence-based, non-toxic multiple myeloma therapies. Conventional, board certified oncologists are not allowed to prescribe  multiple myeloma therapy that is not approved by the FDA- by law. This is the way medicine works in the United States in 2020.

I research and write about alternative therapies for multiple myeloma. I believe this is a component of my job description.

Have you been diagnosed with multiple myeloma? To learn more about the full spectrum of evidence-based multiple myeloma therapy, both conventional and non-conventional, scroll down the page, post a question or comment and I will reply to you ASAP.

Hang in there,

Fenbendazole

“Fenbendazole is a broad spectrum benzimidazole anthelmintic used against gastrointestinal parasites including: giardia, roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, the tapeworm genus Taenia (but not effective against Dipylidium caninum, a common dog tapeworm), pinworms, aelurostrongylus, paragonimiasis, strongyles, and strongyloides that can be administered to sheep, cattle, horses, fish, dogs, cats, rabbits, and seals.

Fenbendazole is being investigated for use as a cancer treatment in humans.[1]

Targeting the Microtubular Network as a New Antimyeloma Strategy

“Benzimidazoles, including albendazole, fenbendazole, mebendazole, and nocodazole, have been used as anthelmintics and fungicides on the basis of their antimicrotubule activity (10) and have been reported to elicit promising antitumor effect (11–13)…

Nocodazole alone and in combination with dexamethasone inhibits multiple myeloma tumor growth in vitro and in vivo

To further investigate the effects of nocodazole, we tested nocodazole in combination with other compounds. As shown in Fig. 5A, combination of nocodazole with lenalidomide, dexamethasone, or a novel histone deacetylase inhibitor inhibitor KD5170 (17) resulted in a significant (P < 0.05) inhibition of proliferation compared with either drug alone…

In summary, our studies show that nocodazole targets the multiple myeloma cell and its microenvironment (14). Nocodazole mediates its antimyeloma activity through sequential microtubular network damage and cell-cycle arrest. JNK-mediated Bcl-2 phosphorylation results in multiple myeloma cell apoptosis. Nocodazole overcomes drug resistance, decreases tumor growth, and extends survival in vivo in human xenograft mice model. The known toxicity profile and selective activity against myeloma cells provide the rationale for considering nocodazole as future treatment for multiple myeloma.”

Unexpected Antitumorigenic Effect of Fenbendazole when Combined with Supplementary Vitamins

“This study demonstrated that a combination of supplemented vitamins and fenbendazole in the diet inhibited growth of a human lymphoma cell line in SCID mice, whereas fenbendazole or vitamins alone had no growth inhibitory effect…

Our study showed that fenbendazole alone did not significantly affect growth of the P493-6 human lymphoma cell line in SCID mice. Most importantly, our observation that fenbendazole in combination with supplemented vitamins significantly inhibited tumor growth has implications for its use during antitumor studies because it may cause unpredictable interactions with test substances and thus alter research results…”

Antiparasitic mebendazole shows survival benefit in 2 preclinical models of glioblastoma multiforme

“Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and aggressive brain cancer, and despite treatment advances, patient prognosis remains poor. During routine animal studies, we serendipitously observed that fenbendazole, a benzimidazole antihelminthic used to treat pinworm infection, inhibited brain tumor engraftment…

In summary, MBZ offers a highly promising opportunity for clinical application on GBM. This is because it has a long track record of safety, there is evidence of preclinical efficacy, an anti-cancer mechanism has been revealed, cost is relatively low, the drug widely available as a generic drug, there is good CNS penetration, and there is a great need for better GBM therapy…”

    Hi Jen-

    I am sorry to learn of your husband’s health challenges. My approach is largely based on your husband’s diagnosis, stage, diagnostic findings. He may need some chemo or local radiation based on his diagnostics, he may need specific nutrition, supplementation to help his kidney function for example. Early stage MM is a different animal from advanced MM.

    Let me know when you know more.

      They haven’t told us his stage yet. They did a bone biopsy Friday. But ct scan showed them all over his bones thru out his body. He had one on his temple that is eating away at the skull and then one behind his jaw where it connects to skull it has already fractured from it. He is anemic, fatigue, and losing his energy.

        David Emerson says a few months ago

        Hi Tara- I am going to guess that your dad is stage 3 MM aka advanced. The main issue in my experience is that your dad must stabilize his health. Your dad will have the greatest chance of success if he works with a MM specialist. This type of oncologist works primarily with MM and will have the most experience with reducing your dad’s bone involvement. Alternative therapies such as fennel may work eventually but they are largely untested and your dad needs aggressive therapies at this point. In order to withstand all of the toxicity your dad will undergo I also encourage diet, lifestyle and complementary therapies. Hang in there, David Emerson

    Hi Marion-

    I am sorry for your husband’s MGUS diagnosis. The challenge with Fenben is the lack of research into whether or not it has any positive effect on MGUS or MM. I just don’t know if it works or will cause side effects.

    Depending on your husband’s risk (low, medium, high) he may not need therapy beyond anti-mm nutrition, supplementation and lifestyle therapies.

Hello David. I enjoyed your article and would appreciate your advice.
After suffering a broken back was diagnosed with MM. After a couple of years of conventional treatment, I am in maintenance but not wanting to do stem cell transplant.
Can you offer a different approach and diet?
Thank you

Reply
    David Emerson says 11 months ago

    Hi Kevin-

    My thinking is that you were stage 2/3 when you were diagnosed with MM. I say this because of your bone involvement. The FDA approved standard-of-care therapy plan for all newly diagnosed MM patients is induction (RVd) followed by an ASCT followed by maintenance therapy.

    It sounds as though you and your onc. did an extended induction (a couple of years…) at which time you then went directly to maintenance therapy.

    The issue you ask about, an ASCT, is not a requirement but a choice on your part. The issue is, in my experience, will an ASCT give you, on average according to research, a longer OS or higher quality of life? Or any benefit really.

    According to research, an ASCT will impart, on average, only a few extra months of PFS aka progression-free survival. This is a slightly longer first remission. Research clearly demonstrates no OS or overall survival benefit.

    I will assume that you are okay staying on low-dose maintenance therapy. In fact, I would argue that you are doing well with only induction and maintenance therapy.

    Or to put is another way, what benefit would you derive from an ASCT? Lots more toxicity, many more short, long-term and late stage side effect. Research clearly shows that a deeper remission does mot mean you will live longer.

    To your question, therapy choices- yes, nutrition, nutritional supplementation (curcumin, omega-3, etc), complementary, lifestyle therapies all have a place in your therapy plan.

    While curcumin and whole body hyperthermia, for example, have been shown to be cytotoxic to MM (kill mm cells), there is no study that cites mm patients living longer on them. There is no research showing a benefit to fenbendazole either.

    My experience is that you will live a longer OS and higher quality of life by combining evidence-based non-conventional therapies with only as much conventional therapies as needed.

    For you this would mean continuing low-dose maintenance until you relapse (this could be years…) and then you can undergo different chemotherapy regimens. If your maintenance is say, 10 mg of revlimid (lenalidomide) you can undergo a proteasome inhibitor or daratumamab.

    If your oncologist tells you that more chemo, an ASCT, may lower your numbers, the issue then becomes what benefit to you will be if you currently have a .5 m-spike and a lot more toxicity lowers it to .2?

    The answer is that research shows no survival benefit and the extra chemo will make you feel miserable.

Hi David. I have had MM for 7 years now. All this time was on Revlimid/Dex (no  stem cell transplant) Latest test showed minor disease progression and my oncologist  put me on Daratumumab. I am thinking of supplementing my new treatment with non- conventional therapy you mentioned. Can you advise me?  Thank you for what you are doing.

Reply
    David Emerson says a couple of years ago

    Hi Michael,

    7 years on Rev/Dex only is a great progression-free survival. Daratumumab is a logical next step. If I advise you we would discuss additional possible next steps.

    Continue pursuing your low-dose chemo therapy plan with chemo regimens such as bortezomib (proteasome inhibitors) combined with integrative therapies.

    Also, consider other complementary therapies shown to be anti-MM- a number of non-conventional therapies have been shown to cause MM apoptosis.

    To be clear Michael, my approach to managing MM is to combine low-dose conventional chemotherapies with evidence-based non-conventional therapies. If you would like to learn more about this approach, let me know.

    Thanks and hang in there,

My husband was diagnosed in July, 2019 with stage 1 MM. He had 3 spinal tumors and was 80% paralyzed because of vertebral collapse impinging upon the spinal cord. He was given radiation, then began Darzalex, and zometa infusions , dexamethasone and revlamid. He is now on maintenance therapy with the Darzalex monthly, zometa quarterly, revlamid 3 weeks out of 4 and dexamethasone with the monthly Darzalex. He had spine surgery Dec, 2019 from T2 to T 12. Spinal cord was decompressed and he now walks with a cane. Now my question. Would fenbenazole be an option for him at some point? He is on morphine and norco for pain, mainly around the shoulder blade and rib areas.

Hi David – I started Fenben about a month ago. I take it 3 days a week. Tonight I heard Chris Wark strongly caution people against it. He said it has been known to initially be effective, but then the body figures out a way around it – which can cause premature death. Of course he was not referring specifically to MM. Have you heard that? And what is the difference between Fenben and Mebendazole? Thanks so much!

I learned of fenbendazole and mebendazole some time ago and my research of it confirmed it is extremely safe, an effective NON-toxic treatment option, and inexpensive to boot! . If I ever developed cancer I would absolutely use this along with GcMAF in any treatment protocol.

    Hi Laranine-

    Thanks for the support. Several cancer patients have asked me about this therapy.
