My sister, who took multiple JnJs, is battling aggressive lung cancer. Never smoked a day in her life, organic everything for the majority of her 72 years, antivaxx before that was even a label. (Why she thought the JnJ was different from all the others she studiously avoided for her children, I'll never understand.)

The IVM and fenben information I offered was turned down in favor of mistletoe (which I wholeheartedly support) and targeted chemo (which I don't). It worked for about 7 months. I'm a fervid believer in belief, so her belief in what works is essential, but it breaks my heart to see her now studiously avoiding anything that has been linked to Trump.

Politicizing medicine is as heinous as monetizing it. The system is so far off the rails, I don't believe the train can ever get back on it. Good riddance, I say. Other than imaging and mechanical fixes of structural damage, they offer nothing but lucrative-for-them toxic bandaids.

Healing is and always will be a complex, unknowable, deeply personal art.

Mary, I'm so sorry about your sister (and shocked as you are that of all the vaccines to trust she chose THIS one). And you are so correct; this weaponization of medicine is deplorable. I pray she wakes up. XO

Very true. I’m sorry about your sister. My husband had a bladder scan yesterday. One of the “spots” has disappeared and the other one doc could hardly see but he burned it off. Urologist was very upbeat about it. We will get the path report but it’s looking like IVM and Fenben is working. We did catch this early. He will of course, continue to take these. When I gave him some information initially, he right away went for it. I had been saving info about this combo “just in case”. I have heard of the mistletoe. There is quite a lot of alternative treatments. There is only one chemo that has been effective against bladder cancer. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 for your sister.
