Joe Rogan Mel Gibson Reveals Controversial Cancer Treatments

Joe Rogan was left shocked when actor Mel Gibson shared an unconventional way three of his friends reportedly cured their stage four cancers. During an episode of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Gibson claimed his friends used anti-parasitic drugs like ivermectin and fenbendazole to treat their terminal diagnoses, and are now cancer-free.

"This stuff works, man," Gibson told Rogan, referring to the use of these drugs. Rogan agreed, stating "This stuff does work, which is strange because it's not profit."

The use of ivermectin and fenbendazole as potential cancer treatments is controversial and not yet supported by large-scale clinical trials. Some early research has suggested these drugs may have anti-cancer properties, but experts warn their efficacy remains unproven and that using them instead of mainstream treatments could be extremely dangerous.

Ivermectin is typically used as an anti-parasitic drug for animals, though it gained attention during the COVID-19 pandemic as an unapproved treatment. Fenbendazole is another anti-parasitic medication primarily given to dogs. While a few case studies have reported tumor shrinkage in cancer patients using these drugs, doctors caution they can also cause serious side effects.

Rogan acknowledged the treatments are "demonized," suggesting health authorities may be suppressing them in favor of more profitable standard cancer therapies. However, medical experts maintain there is no solid evidence these drugs are effective cancer cures, and recommend against using them outside of clinical trials.

The claims made by Gibson and Rogan about their friends' experiences remain unverified, and the broader medical community continues to urge caution around the promotion of unproven alternative cancer treatments.
