Catching Cancer Cells

Preventing heartworm may help to prevent cancer!

Ivermectin is truly a miracle drug!

In 2015, the Nobel Committee for Physiology or Medicine, in its only award for treatments of infectious diseases for over the last 60 years honored the discovery of ivermectin.

I’m going to include some NIH publications in this article and you can open them, if you wish, allowing you to see that there is real science behind all the claims I'm going to make.  

If you can wade through the factual data, you'll find the last part of thie will contain some ground breaking conclusions and a new understanding for cancer prevention in both dogs and cats!

What do penicillin, aspirin, and ivermectin have in common? In addition to rhyming, all three belong to the select group of drugs that can claim to have had the greatest beneficial impact on the health and well-being of humanity 

All three are of natural origin and all three led to a Nobel Prize. Aspirin is a derivative of salicin, a compound found in a variety of plants including willow. Although Hippocrates already speaks of its use in 400 BC, it was not isolated until 1829 as salicylic acid and was synthesized a few years later as acetylsalicylic acid. The discovery of its mechanisms of action earned Sir John Vane the Nobel Prize in 1982. Penicillin was isolated from a fungus that grew by accident in a Petri dish in Alexander Fleming’s laboratory. His discovery radically changed the course of medicine and earned Fleming the Nobel Prize in 1945. 

The long journey of a sample of Japanese soil......

The story of how ivermectin was discovered is quite incredible. In the late 1960s, Satoshi Ōmura, a microbiologist at the Kitasako Institute in Tokyo, began collecting thousands of soil samples from all over Japan, searching for antibacterial compounds. He grew bacteria from the samples, identified the cultures with medical potential, and shipped them 10,000 km away to Merck laboratories in New Jersey, where his collaborator William Campbell tested their effect against parasitic worms that affect livestock and other animals. A culture from a sample collected near a golf course south of Tokyo showed a remarkable effect against worms. The bacteria in the culture turned out to be a new species, which they named Streptomyces avermictilis.. The active compound, avermectin, was chemically modified to increase its activity and safety. The new compound, called ivermectin, was marketed for animal use in 1981 and soon became one of the best-selling veterinary drugs in the world . It is remarkable that, despite decades of searching, S. avermictilis remains the only source of ivermectin that has been found.

With that said let’s go into the many more uses for ivermectin other than as an antiparasitic drug.

REMEMBER: At the end of this article you will learn how I believe ivermectin can reduce the risk of cancer in our pets!!! 

.

Ivermectin has been shown to promote the repair of myelin (the sheath that surrounds nerves) in autoimmune diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis [think of the canine Degenerative Myelopathy potential]

Ivermectin suppresses tumor growth and has a high antitumor activity against tumor growth and metastasis in nude mouse models. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7205794/

Ivermectin also helps with drug resistant cancers, making them more susceptible to chemotherapy.  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6580523/

Ivermectin also might be a new potential anticancer drug for treating human colorectal cancer and other cancers. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8415024/

So…. How does all this tie together and relate to cancer and cancer prevention?????

__________________

Allow me to diverge a minute and share with you why chemotherapy does not work on animals. I learned this decades ago in a conference at the veterinary school in Colorado, which practices the most advanced chemotherapy and radiation Rx’s for pets in the world.

Dogs and cats cannot tolerate chemotherapeutic drugs. If chemotherapy was administered at the same dose per pound as humans, dogs would vomit and poop blood… wind up in the ER with a huge bill and, of course, stop chemo.  

In fact, dogs and cats can only take a very tiny dose of the chemotherapeutic agents that humans tolerate. 

Because the rationale with chemotherapy is to hit the cancer as hard and fast as you can, chemotherapy does not work well at all with small animal patients. Oncologists typically offer several more months of time with your pet at best.  Pets only get a fraction of the dose that humans get. {Not that I'm a fan of chemotherapy... but it's important to know the 'whys'.}

As we learned in the first issue of Catching Cancer, the cancer rate in our pets is astoundingly high. We’re going to go into the reasons why this is happening as we move into this series on cancer.

The thing is, pet owners know about this high cancer rate and work hard to prevent it in their own pets.

A simpler solution? Something that, in fact, kills two birds with one stone?

Bear with me…… this is important information below so take your time in reading it.

You'll understand why I'm going over ivermectin and heartworm prevention in just a minute!

HEARTWORM in DOGS

COULD USING IVERMECTIN AS A SIMPLE, EASY, HEALTY HEARTWORM PREVENTIVE  WORK TO ALSO HELP PREVENT CANCER IN YOUR PETS? 

I BELIEVE THE ANSWER IS A RESOUNDING YES!

READ ON.....

I used to be more casual about heartworm prevention in the northern states. That's because heartworm was not very prevalent in the north. Additionally, I could successful treat a heartworm infection with homeopathy and the patient would test negative in 3 months or so.

Then, Bill Gates released GM mosquitoes all over the place. They reverted (the males were to be sterile if they didn’t contact tetracycline, but many reversed their GM programming when exposed to tetracycline in the effluent of pig and chicken farms - where tetracycline is in the feed.) Thus, creating Monster Mosquitoes.

See the article below to understand it all: Well worth clicking on and reading if you have the time.

The next strange thing that I noticed was that heartworm positive dogs became way more difficult to treat. Additionally many dogs were being adopted from Alabama and they were all being shipped north with heartworms. 

The thought occurred to me that the microfilaria and the heartworm infestation itself might have changed as the mosquitoes had become genetically modified. Genetic modification can have far reaching effects. It used to be that one genus of mosquito carried heartworm but there were   different GM mosquitoes released all over the place and they suddenly were able to breed together, creating what is now called the 'Monster Mosquitoes'. It's all in the article above.

Because of this, I now, typically recommend monthly heartworm treatment/prevention during the warm months and all year round in the southern states. 

It’s important to know that heartworm prevention works backwards… eliminating infection till about 6 weeks back.

It’s also important to know that you do not need all the poisonous and toxic multi-pronged insect/heartworm PLUS with all the extra poisons and toxins in order to prevent heartworm infestation.

You only need IVERMECTIN.

SO- WHAT DOES ALL THIS BRING US TO?

IN THE VERY FIRST PART OF THE FIRST  ARTICLE OF THIS SERIES I WROTE:

Ivermectin has traditionally been used as an antiparasitic, but it also has antiviral and anti-inflammatory actions.

Importantly, ivermectin has anti-cancer actions, and it increases the expression of the p53 tumor suppressor gene's pro-apoptotic pathway. Ivermectin helps the cancer cells reestablish the ability to detect that it is cancerous and thereby trigger an internal process of cancer cell suicide.

Let's add it all up.  If you treat your dog with monthly heartworm prevention. [all year round in the south and when needed in the north] and you ONLY USE IVERMECTIN you very might also be helping to increase the expression of that special gene that detects and prevents cancer inside the cell.

This is how the body is already set up to find cancer before it get's established- never allowing the cancer cell to  survive and multiply. Ivermectin helps to do it even better.

And this is the exact gene (p 53) that ivermectin increases the expression of!

The tricky part is finding plain ivermectin for heartworm prevention.  

Sierra Pet Meds sells plain ivermectin tablets for heartworm prevention with NO SCRIPT NEEDED in very affordable packs called VALUEHEART. This is only ivermectin and you can purchase it according to the size of your dog.
