Preface Pharmaceutical companies and their captured regulatory agencies do not allow the use cheap generic drugs that are safer and more effective in treating cancer than expensive patented medications. Repurposed drugs for cancer have no chance of getting approved by the FDA. Insurance companies have been paying $10,000 for a monthly supply of a BTK and / or a BCL2 inhibitor used in treatment of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. The FDA approval process requires a huge investment. And there is no way to recoup the investment if a drug is already approved for other indications and can be prescribed “off-label”. For the foregoing reasons, in the fields of oncology and hematology, off-label prescribing of repurposed drugs is generally not allowed for cancer treatment.
In my most recent test for Minimal Residual Disease, my CLL couunt per 10k gated lymphocyte events has dropped by 50% compared to May 2022. It is probable that colonized CLL in the lymphatic system and other hiding places is being killed off faster than it can proliferate. It had been rising by more than 6 fold per year with no treatment. The MDS is also going into remission as evidenced by normalized and improving blood counts. This is just anecdotal evidence and the only evidence that is published anywhere, so far as a know. about the effectiveness of combining hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin to treat and kind of cancer. Also mo night sweats, no revival of spleen ischemia symptoms that I experienced before combining treatment. Plus, both drugs slow down the breakdown of insulin in cells in different ways, thus improving glucose tolerance. HCQ is prescribed for diabetes in India as a second or third line of treatment, prior to injecting insulin, leading to better glucose tolerance and better control of blood glucose levels. I don't know what the protocol for HCQ as a diabetes treatment is. I am not on a very high dose of HCQ, just 200 mg daily and about 40 micrograms per kilometet of ivermectin, which is fairly high, but well below toxic levels. I have adjusted doses up and dose, checked the effects on lab tests, and adjusted some more. I suspect that I am on an optimal dose of both drugs for the cancer treatment
Hi Doug. I really appreciate your write-up on this. I have CLL too and I know you from some of the online CLL groups we are both in. I have used IVM for Covid - as both a treatment and prophylactically throughout 2021 when I was also on venetoclax. I have HCQ on hand but have not used it yet. I too have read some literature on both IVM & HCQ having relevance for cancer treatment. Your spleen results are a very good sign. Keep up the good work and keep sharing your discoveries, please.

I’m glad you finally found something that works!! These two drugs have an amazing array of positive effects
