Some niggling part of my brain keeps wondering if ivermectin is actually a crazy cure for cancer, could anyone break down the science for me? I have a decent understanding of molecular biology, but no idea about what ivermectin is chemically or how it would play in
It kills parasitic infections caused by worms. Cancer is not a parasitic infection caused by a worm. It's like asking if a mouse trap can fix climate change. No, because they are in no way related.
If you want to know the specific mechanism involved, it has to do with properties worms have but mammals don't: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivermectin#Mechanism_of_action
I mean, if you drank enough of it, I'm sure the cancer would stop growing.
It works similarly to the traditional bleach cure in that regard. Both are 100% effective if used properly.
I hear guns work similarly well.
Edit: read more XKCD, people.
I always like that comic, but wish he had done a bit on one of the ways we used to (maybe someone still does it somewhere? Idk) impregnate cells with DNA. Take a modified .22 bullet, load it with the DNA, and blast it at cells.
