    Ivermectin & Cancer: Hype vs. Science—What’s the Reality?

    Ivermectin, widely known as an antiparasitic medication, has been investigated for its potential anticancer properties in preclinical studies. Researchers have explored its effects on various cancer cell lines and its possible mechanisms of action. In this episode, Dr. Moss weighs in on this controversial topic, and let's us know where he feels the scientific research stands, and what the implications of the research mean for the future of cancer treatment. 📚 Cited Studies & Research Links: 1.

While early studies indicate that ivermectin has potential anticancer properties, more clinical trials are needed to establish its safety and efficacy in humans. Patients interested in alternative treatments should always consult with their healthcare provider before considering off-label uses.

  4. Vitamin D & Cancer: The VITAL Information You Must Know

    Vitamin D & Cancer: The VITAL Information You Must Know

    In this pivotal episode, Dr. Moss and his son, Ben, shed light on new insights into Vitamin D's role in cancer prevention, based on data from a study published in 2019. While the original research concluded that Vitamin D had no significant impact on cancer incidence, a meticulous reevaluation of the same data has revealed something crucial: Body Mass Index (BMI) plays a significant role in the effectiveness of Vitamin D supplementation for cancer prevention. Specifically, those with a 'normal' BMI showed a significant reduction in the incidence of advanced and metastatic cancers. Dr. Moss and Ben explore why these game-changing results haven't received the media attention they deserve and what this could mean for natural cancer prevention strategies. Tune in to this eye-opening discussion that presents the science you can't afford to ignore! Program Notes: Primary authors of cited paper: Walter C.
