Oklahoma grandfather who claims a drug for DOGS cured him of 'head-to-toe'
cancer is tumor-free two years after doctors gave him three months to live
4.完整新闻内文:
In January 2017, Joe Tippens was certain that he would die of small cell lung
cancer.
But then a veterinarian suggested he try something unconventional, to say the
least: a drug for dogs.
The medication, fenbendazole, is an anti-worm compound used to treat
hookworms, roundworms and other gut parasites in animals, primarily dogs.
In recent years, studies suggesting anti-worm drugs might have
cancer-fighting properties have been cropping up in a growing number of
journals.
It's far from a proven treatment, but with three months to live and nothing
to lose, Joe decided to take a chance on it.
Joe was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer in 2016, turning his plans
upside down, just two days before he was set to move to Switzerland from
Oklahoma.
He kept up a fighting attitude, but in January 2017, he got the news that no
one is prepared to hear.
The aggressive cancer was everywhere. It had spread to his liver, pancreas,
bladder, stomach, neck and bones.
His PET scan 'lit up like a Christmas tree,' he says on his website.
At that late stage of small cell lung cancer, Joe's odds of survival were
less than one percent, and the average life expectancy was three months.
He had a trans-Atlantic move planned. He was expecting a grandson. And now
everything had to come to a halt.
Doctors at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Texas told him they wouldn't give up,
and would put him in a clinical trial that wouldn't save Joe, but might give
him a year or so to live.
He might get to meet his grandson.
'A year (or so) sounds a lot better than 3 months, so I said "let's go for
it,"' Joe writes.
Browsing an online forum for his alma mater, Oklahoma State University, Joe
saw a post that caught his eye that same month: 'If you have cancer or know
someone who does, give me a shout.'
He did, and from the poster, a veterinarian, he learned that scientists had
accidentally discovered that a dog de-worming drug seemed to combat many
cancers in mice.
The same scientist that had conducted that research, as it happened, had
stage 4 brain cancer, and the same prognosis Joe had been given, according to
the vet.
She started popping the dog pills, and within six weeks, as the vet told it,
the scientist's cancer was gone.
Joe, who was 'a skeleton with skin hanging off of it' at half his previous
weight, he told KOCO 5 News, placed an order of fenbendazole.
His new dosage of dog pills cost just $5 a week. His insurance company had
spent '$1.2 million on me with traditional means,' he said.
According to a study published in Nature, the drug compound essentially
starves cancer cells and kills them.
It also is, of course, already in production, cheaper, and, according to cell
studies and reports from people who have tried it, not very toxic, especially
compared to chemo and immunotherapies.
That said, it was a risk.
Joe stayed in the clinical trial (he does not disclose what therapy he
received) added vitamin E, CBD, bioavailable curcumin and, of course, the dog
medicine.
He didn't mention the de-worming drug to his doctors.
In May, Joe's first grandchild, Luke, was born. Joe was there to meet him.
Two-and-a-half weeks later, he had another PET scan.
'Three months earlier...There was cancer in my body from head to toe. And it
was a terrifyingly dangerous metastasis that leaves virtually 100% of its
victims dead within 3 months. Here I was 3 months later and the PET scan was
completely dark......void of any light.....anywhere,' Joe writes.
He was dumbfounded. His oncologist was dumbfounded, according to Joe's
account.
Joe writes that his doctor told him, 'We don't quite know what to make of
this as you are the only patient on the clinical trial with this kind of
response.'
In September 2017, Joe went for yet another scan, and was still cancer free.
At last he told his doctor what he'd been doing outside the hospital.
There was no way at that point to prove that it was the de-worming drug that
vanished Joe's cancer, but his doctor did tell him that he was an 'outlier'
of the trial, Joe writes.
Joe's final scan was taken in January of 2018, and when he had a follow-up
appointment that April, he writes that his oncologist kicked him out of the
cancer center - because Joe had no cancer to treat.
His results seem too-good-to-be true, but Joe claims to have collected over
40 examples of similar success stories.
And his results were good enough to pique the interest of the president of
the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, Dr Stephen Prescott.
'I'm usually skeptical, and I was and maybe still am about this one, but
there's interesting background on this' he told KOCO.
Now, Dr Prescott and Joe are working on a case study report, according to
KOCO.
Joe is careful to note that he's not a doctor, and is 'only one man with
limited resources.'
'I am not prescribing medicine and I am not qualified to give advice on
medical treatments.
'BUT.....I am qualified to tell my story to as many people as possible.'

据英国《每日邮报》26日报导，一名来自美国的男子身患癌症晚期，就在他生命只剩三个
月的时候，他遇到了一名兽医，兽医让他尝试用狗药来治疗癌症，最终，他居然奇蹟般康
复了。
男子名叫乔，2016年，他被确诊患上小细胞肺癌。就在他准备从俄克拉荷马州搬到瑞士休
养的时候，噩耗传来，他的癌细胞已经扩散到肝脏、胰腺、膀胱、胃、颈部和骨骼内。医
生称他已进入癌症晚期，存活率不到百分之一。为了见到尚未出世的孙子，乔恳求医生尽
可能延长自己的寿命。得克萨斯癌症中心的医生告诉他，他们不会放弃乔，尽量让他多活
上一年。
后来，一次意外的机会，乔在网上认识了一名兽医，他建议乔尝试一些非传统的方法：用
狗药来治疗癌症。这是一种抗蠕虫化合物，用来治疗狗体内的钩虫、蛔虫和其他肠道寄生
虫。它的基本原理是让癌细胞挨饿最终死亡。这种药物的毒性不是很强，特别是与化疗相
比。曾经有一名科学家和乔一样是癌症晚期，随后她开始服用这种药物，六周后，她身上
的癌细胞居然消失了。目前，越来越多的期刊提到抗蠕虫的药物可能具有抗癌的特性。虽
然并没有被医学界证实，但对于只剩下3个月寿命的乔来说，没有什么是不可一试的。
兽医给乔开了同样的药物，一周只需要花费5美元，要知道保险公司当时可是给了乔一笔
120万美元的费用用于治疗癌症。乔没有将这一切告诉他的主治医生，也没有具体透露他
的配方。之后，他又去医院做了一次扫描，医生惊讶地发现他身上的阴影全部消失了。几
个月后的复查，医生说乔身上的癌细胞已经全部消失了，乔这才把一切都告诉了他。医生
说，没有证据证明这种药物直接对乔的癌症产生了作用，乔属于幸运的特例。目前，在世
界上像乔一样被这种药物完全治愈的患者大约有40名。"我不是医生，没有专业能力替人
治疗癌症，但是至少我的故事可以鼓励和我有相似经历的人。"乔说。
