Hi from the UK.

My son has stage 4 prostrate cancer that has spread to the bones. 
he is on hormone treatment at the moment and maybe radiotherapy soon, we have been reading about ivermectin treatment, has anyone in the UK tried this treatment and no where to purchase the pills that are genuine, we don’t want to be scammed.

it would be nice to hear from anyone that can help us thank you.

Hi Jenny,

Sorry for your son's diagnosis. I can't recall anybody mentioning Ivermectin tablets for PCa but suggest you watch this video from two respected doctors who are often referred to on this forum. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHcZ6TRR9xE 

But read also the anecdotal stories in response to this video which largely show a disconnect.

Unfortunately science itself, and drugs that have been tested and proven have been under attack, particularly in the US by Robert Kennedy, who has suggested, amongst other things, that Ivermectin has the capacity to put vaccination out of business. Normally politics has no place in a forum like this but when conspiracy theories and anti-science propaganda threaten our health there's no place for sitting on the fence [and I hope the moderators agree].

As Barry says, the anecdotal response to the Scholz/Moyad clip is dismissive but note that both these doctors have studied actual results of people taking these alternative drugs over time, and there has been no indication that either Ivermectin or Mebendazole work. I found it rather odd that amongst the people answering the Youtube clip in comments, there were 300+[I stopped counting] thumbs responses up to the use of Ivermectin or Mebendazol and not a single thumbs down!

Thank you for your comments, my son says he has nothing to loose by trying these pills.

Just available in the UK, was hoping that I might find a someone in the UK that has taken them, and can tell me where I can purchase them, I’ve been searching and seem many positive results, just don’t know if they are genuine.but I guess any thing is worth a try when your life can be cut short by this horrible decease

Can understand desperation. Many approved drugs are Toxic to varying degrees. If drug is obtained, your son should be carefully monitored for liver and other potential organs and his PCa Consultant informed It might help as regards legitimate supply of drug and their view on it, if you contact the British Pharmacological Society, as given in Wiki here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Pharmacological_Society

J.m, I know nothing about the availability of Ivermectin in the UK, though as you probably know, it's used as a de-worming treatment. In Australia it's available under the brand name of Combantrin (amongst others) and is an off the shelf, no prescription needed.

One of the big issues with alternative drugs like this is that there's been no testing to come up with a recommended dose rate, and because there's no proven value, any suggested dosage is random. If you can find a supply of this stuff you're in the awkward position of not having any scientific data to tell you whether the dosage should be one pill a week or half a dozen pills a day.

Please, if you or your son do find a source of supply, don't change the path of treatment that's been recommended for him.

Jenny, My husband has been taking ivermectin, menbezadole, metformin & a number of other supplements. He is also on Prostap HT every three months. He was initially diagnosed 10 yrs ago Gleason 9 Tb3, He had HDR Brachytherapy & 26 sessions on radiotherapy. Four  yrs ago his PSA went up and he had lymph node involvement, and diagnosed stage 4. We then  did some extensive research and decided to do the alternative route. His last PSA was <0.1 and it has been consistent < 0,1 for four years. 
We have not discussed this with his oncologist though, although we have talked to the cancer nurse, who listens patiently and smiles. 
We have a friend who is a GP and we have discussed this with him, and  he totally agrees with the path he’s taking, saying he’d do similar. 
He is never complacent, and enjoys every day, he’s well and we manage a small holding he is 75 and has been up a ladder cutting hedges today. 
We may be nuts, who knows. 
I hope this helps.

The Metformin arm of the STAMPEDE trial did suggest men on life-long hormone therapy should be offered Metformin too. Sadly it didn't significantly help with the cancer, but it did help avoid or reduce long term metabolic side effects of hormone therapy.

There's also a UK expert in this field who has for some time before that been saying all men on hormone therapy should be offered Metformin and a statin as a matter of course, just to compensate for what hormone therapy does. This isn't currently NHS/NICE policy, but something you can ask your oncologist and GP if they're willing to do, and certainly, you should have your doctor regularly monitoring your blood glucose, cholesterol levels, and blood pressure while on hormone therapy, as it tends to push them all up, and medication adjustments may be necessary. For cholesterol, nowadays they tend to look at the HDL ratio, but as HDL is no longer a good cholesterol when you have no Testosterone (or more strictly, no estrogen), it's the total cholesterol level you need to monitor, not the HDL ratio.

This probably doesn't apply to those who are only on Bicalutamide.

Plus bone density. I don't know what the NHS offers in terms of bone density scans for people on HT but osteopenia and even osteoporosis are quite likely outcomes.

It's haphazard. If you are at one of the main teaching hospitals, you may get offered a DEXA scan. Otherwise, you're going to need to know to ask. My oncologist said he would consider one every 2 years while on hormone therapy. Since I stopped at 2 years, I never got one. Some places might do a baseline one too, but probably only for those on life-long hormone therapy.

Hi, my NHS  oncologist ordered a DEXA scan on the day he prescribed my apalutamide, I had already be on decapeptyl for a few weeks. He also talked about doing a BRCA test ,but that has never happened.

Thanks Chris

I'm in Australia and I was lucky enough to start my treatment at the end of a trial period, so I was given a very thorough baseline test, with follow ups at the two year interval you mention. Prior to treatment my bone density was fine but by the end of it I had mild ostopenia. With the return of testosterone there's been something of a recovery.

The reason I draw attention to this, is that I suspect it's often ignored but it's very important in the longer term, as are those other nasty side effects you've mentioned Andy.
