What was claimed

Doctors told my 19-year-old son with stage 4 cancer to go home and die on hospice. He's been on the Joe Tippens protocol, supplements, teas and diet changes for over a year instead (account sells these supplements)

Our verdict

Inaccurate

Tippens was simultaneously enrolled in a Merck pembrolizumab (Keytruda) clinical trial when his cancer went into remission. Multiple interventions occurred at the same time, making attribution to fenbendazole alone impossible. Fenbendazole is approved only as a veterinary dewormer, not for human cancer treatment. No randomized controlled human trials have demonstrated its efficacy or safety for cancer.
