Time for more dumping of tabs!
(1) The Hafnium Bomb and/or the Nuclear Battery
A nice explanation of nuclear isomerism and why some people like DERPA are interested in it.
(2) Chess Game Reported Like College Football
You may have never seen anything like this. That’s OK – stick with it – it’s fun! The “sports reporter” is a hoot! I had no idea these people existed.
(3) Gravity, Inertia, and the Gravitational Constant
TL;DR – The gravitational constant pops out of the theory and I love it, but I still have to be skeptical that it might be an artifact.
Did we actually miss the solution to “what is gravity?” and “what is inertia?” when they were solved in the 1950s? Just listen to the guy – the equations are too small to read, but the explanations start to gel. At the very least, the opening / final cartoon is readily understood when you get to the end!
(4) Enjoy Some Relaxing Math & Fiddle Music
This is supposedly an exam question for Haaaaaahvaaaaaahd. Or you can just listen to the calming folk violin.
(5) Two Solutions to the Three-Body Problem
First, the no-solution solution, presented by that annoyingly perky British chick who is not Veritasium or the German one.
Now, Valerie Curren’s solution using string theory.

A Tab-Clearing Selection of Videos
OK, people, listen up.
I have collected WAY too many videos in my tabs, with the intent of using one every week in the Monday open thread. The trouble is, I collect them much faster than I am using them.
Well, I’m going to FLUSH some of them. Right now. And every week. Until I have a more manageable number.
Find what you like – play what you like – ignore the rest.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

(1) The Nancy Mace Allegations
Nancy Mace makes explosive allegations on the floor of the House. Go to 19:00 minutes where it begins (it should be queued up).
(2) Einstein, Emmy Noether, and General Relativity
Is Veritasium a heavy metal? If so, I maintain that it is still good for you! This is fascinating history about Einstein, even if you ignore the science. It’s basically about a woman mathematician who came up with some math and science that saved Albert’s butt!
(3) Barbara Corcoran On Donald Trump
I’m not saying she’s right about WHY Trump is the GOAT, but she is right THAT Trump is the GOAT, and her little story here is fascinating. You’ve seen this before – still – worth another watching!
(4) The World’s Dumbest Calculator For Pi
This is actually kinda cool, but in the end, you will feel the dumbness, and it burns! “Moar Maker Madness!”
(5) Pyromaniacs, Clickety-Clacks, and the Thermite Welding of Railroad Tracks
Veritasium with all the fireworks and none of the equations. OK, maybe just a few equations. But still, it’s all worth it. Enjoy!
Stay tuned for the next five tabs to escape though this page!

Moar AI Spam
AI is assisting with the proliferation of bullshit, because it puts fairly smart white lies in the hands of fairly dumb people who need them.
Example? This bit of engineered bullshit, either actual spam, or IC AI bullshit disguised as spam, trying to get on this site.
Note – I included Cuppa Covfefe’s last comment on the Open – A REAL COMMENT – for context. That comment was made roughly 4 1/2 years ago.
For those with low vision, the text of the spam post:
‘This Sanctuary Sunday Open Thread’ beautifully fosters unity, faith, and respectful dialogue. I appreciate the emphasis on civility, truth, and open discussion. A great reminder of how meaningful and peaceful conversations can shape a strong, thoughtful community.
I’ll be frank – that’s a nice comment. I won’t say why it’s obviously an AI comment, because I don’t reveal tells of that nature – but for those and other very definitive reasons, I can assure you that it’s an AI comment.
Now, let’s compare that with the following first few paragraphs of Carl’s post, which were analyzed and turned into that AI response.
In the original post, both “Sanctuary Sunday Open Thread” and “Please show respect and consideration” were bolded, and it’s clear that the AI noted this, by putting single quotes around those first four words, which were played back. In the sample from Carl’s post, below, I am bolding almost all of the things on which the AI appeared to be focused.
This Sanctuary Sunday Open Thread, with full respect to those who worship God on the Sabbath, is a place to reaffirm our worship of our Creator, our Father, our King Eternal.
It is also a place to read, post and discuss news that is worth knowing and sharing. Please post links to any news stories that you use as sources or quote from.
In the QTree, we’re a friendly and civil lot. We encourage free speech and the open exchange and civildiscussion of different ideas. Topics aren’t constrained, and sound logic is highly encouraged, all built on a solid foundation of truth and established facts.
We have a policy of mutual respect, shown by civility. Civility encourages discussions, promotes objectivity and rational thought in discourse, and camaraderie in the participants – characteristics we strive toward in our Q Tree community.
Please show respect and consideration for our fellow QTreepers. Before hitting the “post” button, please proofread your post and make sure you’re addressing the issue only, and not trying to confront the poster. Keep to the topic – avoid “you” and “your”. Here in The Q Tree, personal attacks, name calling, ridicule, insults, baiting and other conduct for which a penalty flag would be thrown are VERBOTEN.
In The Q Tree, we’re compatriots, sitting around the campfire, roasting hot dogs, making s’mores and discussing, agreeing, and disagreeing about whatever interests us. This board will remain a home for those who seek respectfulconversations.
Let’s not give the Internet Censors a reason to shut down this intellectual haven that Wolf has created for us.
Note that the word “faith” was not there – it was generated by the AI. The only place “faith” appeared in Carl’s entire post was 12 times in a large paragraph way down in the body of the post. If you want to check it out…..
Thus, the mere mention of “worship” at the beginning, and the entire context of the body of Carl’s post, were likely the origin of “faith” in the AI comment.
“Meaningful” and “peaceful” are also derived from the larger context. Those words are not present, although “peace” appears 5 times in the body of the message from Carl.
I want you all to understand that the AI is basically doing what high school students and college students are trained to do, in writing a reply letter, answering essay questions, or otherwise composing written material based on some source, without plagiarizing. It’s reading, grabbing concepts, mixing things up, generalizing about what is observed, then composing a restatement which comes very close to what was originally said, from a reader perspective, without “aping” the original, which is both cringeworthy and considered plagiarism.
AI is pleasing its trainers, just like students try to please their trainers teachers.
This is why AI is being used by students to pass exams.
Andrew Torba has a masterful post about this, which you all really need to read. He predicts that universities themselves, as we know them, are about to be on life support, because of AI.
After reading Torba’s post, I realize that Harvard is falling apart for multiple reasons. IMO, woke does not have the honesty needed to deal with AI, or anything else, for that matter.
Over the next 15 years, universities will face existential pressure to adapt or perish. Some may evolve into credentialing hubs, offering “micro-degrees” for niche skills.
Excerpt:
Artificial intelligence is not merely a tool for incremental change it is the architect of a total overhaul. At the heart of this transformation is a radical reimagining of how knowledge is delivered, absorbed, and validated. At Alpha School in Texas, students spend just two hours a day learning with AI, yet they outperform 98% of students nationwide, scoring in the top 1-2% on standardized tests.
WOLF AGAIN…..
The question will not be whether you can use AI to fake out people about how smart you are, in their decaying system. The question will be whether (1) you can use AI for real research, or (2) whether you can change, fix, use, or install AI to do something useful and good to others.
That output of your use of AI may include good stuff, or bad stuff. People who use AI for bad stuff will need to be punished. Good AI and AI in the hands of good people will get it done.
Welcome to the future.
Mutually Acceptable Lies About The Clot Shot
It’s time to be honest about what is going on in HHS, NIH, FDA and CDC.
Reform of these agencies – whose sins almost killed us, and did in fact kill many of us, and many other people around the world – will NOT occur by a quantum leap from bad to good.
It is occurring gradually and continuously, just like the end of government-sanctioned slavery did, in centuries past. And just like The Death of Slavery (cough), the entire process of Death To The Death Jabs (cough, cough) will be a shifting morass of what I call “mutually acceptable lies“.
PAVACA has very nicely documented the various half-measures, quarter-measures, and non-measures which have been taken by the government-ensconced part of MAHA against the clot-shots.
That is the current state of the matter. Not the end state – the current state.
Stated bluntly, the jabs are being gently but not honestly withdrawn from the young and the healthy, and are being kept, with no denial of existing fictions, for the sick, the old, the infirm, and the chronically medicated.
You know – the very people that a socialist depopulation program still wants to remove.
NOW do you see why the current assortment of lies and truths might be mutually acceptable to the two sides?
You don’t normally think like a depopulationist, or like somebody whose kids are being threatened by a shadowy cartel. So you never saw it coming – that our side would accept both some silver and some lead – at least temporarily. Or that the other side – the depop cartel – would accept a mixed bag. Yes – just like the drug cartels, they accept shifting realities.
The BAD SIDE threatened our children and young adults, and showed us that they had the power to not just kill our loved ones, but to make us do it – to make us part of the murder. Having them back off from this extortion is what we get, in return for their continued elimination of the people they wanted to eliminate all along – the weak, the old, the medically costly, the non-productive, and the undesirable, who can be slipped into their caskets at any time by a few shots.
This was very skillful play by the depoppers and their deep state allies. Do you see it? They had a REASON for pushing the jabs too far. So that when their commu-Nazi tide went back out, it was still deep enough to drown the “useless eaters”.
Now – this is not the spoken reality – meaning the lies. What I gave you is the mutually acceptable truth. The mutually acceptable lies are continuation of the scientific bullshit about antibody count, no need for clinical testing, and most of all, the need for those medical pobrecitos (poor young little ones) to get the merciful jabs to protect them from the still mythically Wuhan-dangerous omicron common cold.
THAT is their goal. THAT is what they needed to accomplish.
Somebody is still gonna pick the cotton and go to Heaven.
We know the “dangers” to these fragile patients are all bullshit, already shockingly disproved by the “peer-reviewed” literature. But the media that can never be wrong, and the scientific media that is even worse, are “not done not talking about things” – so we have to wait for memories to cool, so that nobody gets in trouble for slavery killing Black and Indian kids with jabs.
So what do we do?
We keep pushing on. We keep fighting. We make sure the public, the MAHA now in office, and (importantly) the American pope know that the fight for human life is not over – that “depopulation” is real, that it’s insidious, and that its stealthy proponents are not done fighting.
The depoppers will put up a hell of a fight to keep things where they are right now – where they not only have the elderly and the infirm at the end of a population-adjusting needle, but where they also have a prime depopulation AGENT (coronavirus spike protein) authorized for that needle.
And yet, I think we have some strong weapons at hand, against their strong lies.
If our theories are correct, then we will find evidence of safer outcomes with non-mRNA vaccines like Novavax, Coronavac (ChiCom jab), CorbeVax, and others that omit the mRNA technology. Even better, the new “Gold Standard” “universal platform” jabs that are now being pushed by Secretary Kennedy and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, should prove much safer than mRNA.
Yeah, they’re not perfect – but they’re better. Fewer people will die. SOME people – in fact MANY people – will be rescued from depopulation.
This is war. There will be casualties. But we will win.

I begin this first post with an aside. The header for Thank God / Theistic Evolution Thursdays is a stained glass depiction of the first chapter of Genesis from the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
It is the author’s contention that there ARE actual answers in Genesis – but they’re more profound and astounding than even the very smart people of antiquity could imagine, or even more recent minds from the 1800s, when modern humanity fell hard for the “6000 year” trickery.
To uncover the mechanistic details of the creation outline in Genesis, requires the work of many people over a long period of time. THAT very point – big things, long times – being a pattern worth noting.
God works with WAY bigger math than we can comprehend. At least, that is MY conjecture.
Q-Level Vaccine Strategy
It is my belief that what we are seeing unfolding right now, in HHS, NIH, FDA, and CDC, is the result of deep strategy and planning by some very smart and well-intended people, who are changing American healthcare for the better, whether it wants to make the necessary changes or not.
If that sounds like the Q folks, then good. If that merely sounds like the Trump administration, doing what it was elected to do, then good. If that sounds like some super-secret project of some other nature, then good. If that sounds like God taking a hammer to Satan’s bureaucracy, then good. I don’t care so much to convince you WHY it’s happening, as much as I want to show you THAT it’s happening.
What I hope to do here, is to quickly and simply explain where I see this hidden hand making plays, and why it might be making them.
I begin by explaining when and where I became aware that something good was going on.
First, barkerjim reported this item discussed on “Coffee and COVID”:
In summary, vaccines will now need to be tested against placebos – in ways that will critically distinguish safe vaccines from risky vaccines. This is a HUGE win for honest medicine.
I want to emphasize how strategically brilliant this is. Asking that vaccines be tested “normally” not only reverses outrageous vaccine non-testing that was installed by Fauci and Friends during COVID – it reverses sketchy and abused science all the way back to the 1960s and 1970s.
It’s undoing ALL of the bad stuff that has happened in vaccination since the middle of the last century.
And yet – “nutjob” RFK Jr. isn’t demanding the banning of even a single vaccine, as his opponents screamed and howled he would. No – he’s simply asking that vaccines be tested for safety like everything else.
What is happening here is unassailable. And yet, this move is going to stop sketchy vaccines like the COVID vaxxes IN THEIR TRACKS. Even other vaccines with “good” track records are going to have to prove themselves. And some “good” ones may turn out to be “not so good”.
This is the perfect move right now. Does this sound like something “beginner” secretary RFK Jr. would choose to play, all on his own, in the deadly DC chess game, against highly experienced globalist scum bureaucrats?
I don’t think so. It’s too smart. Something is going on.
But it gets better. And it was at the “gets better” point that I knew something very awesome was going on.
And no – I’m not talking about this, that eilert brought!
🚨BREAKING: DNI Tulsi Gabbard is investigating Dr. Fauci for perjury and his role in funding Wuhan gain-of-function research tied to COVID-19.
It only took about 2 seconds for Aubergine to figure out what I was saying.
Reread that if you have to – that’s the bottom line, pretty much.
I’m going to explain it in more detail below.
And that’s why we’re here. I’ll get to it in a minute, but let’s finish capturing the discussion.
Here, PAVACA notes that this “universal vaccine platform” isn’t being championed by only the good guys, and being openly opposed by the bad guys. Not at all. The bad guys have their fingerprints all over it, too, and seem to be helping it. But note the military connections. I suspect that’s important.
Things get interesting here, and require some explanation.
As Trump says….
“Complicated business.”
IMO Fauci was doing what Fauci does. Get close to it. Get power over it. Then kill it or sabotage it. So we need to watch out for the Fauci Minions trying to take down MAHA.
Kalbo opined that it would be nice to get those deadly COVID mRNA vaccine EUAs withdrawn ASAP, and I have to agree. But again, it looks like what is being done here is strategic, and even in a military way, where a non-zero number of casualties are accepted to insure victory.
What I mean here is that by making two ostensibly pro-vax moves that are going to nuke the COVID vaccines shortly, guaranteed, it will be impossible to stop the withdrawal of the EUAs down the road. No amount of media-Democrat propaganda acting and photo ops will be able to stop the EUAs from being withdrawn.
Finally, this comment of mine, which I will explain.
So what the heck is going on? The “test vaccines against placebos” part sounds like a no-brainer, and also like a “no-risk winner”. But why should we trust ANYBODY talking about some new vaccine platform? They’re even using Fauci’s cynical, cringe-inducing “gold standard” terminology, which was even used for remdesivir and all kinds of other Fauci horrors.
Time for me to explain my opinions on some fundamentals.
The mRNA COVID-19 vaccines were always flawed, but in more fundamental ways than even most scientists realized. By being authoritarian drones, most scientists never questioned the most fundamental problem with the Pfizer, Moderna, Novavax, and Corbevax vaccines, which affected them all, despite their multiple different technologies.
None of these vaccines targeted anything but the spike protein.
NONE of them.
NOTHING more.
In contrast, the Chinese CoronaVac / Sinovac whole-virus vaccine, using the same beta-propiolactone deactivation method as the new proposed universal vaccine platform, targets every protein coded in the viral genome.
Stated differently, immunity created by the Chinese CoronaVac whole-virus vaccine technology, is much more like natural immunity, than is immunity created by the mRNA vaccines.
That means that the immunity is broader – targets more viral proteins – and thus acts against more variants and future variants.
So by now, readers have to be asking why on Earth the Americans would be pursuing the “clot shot” technology – and not the likely best vaccine technology, which was being pursued by China.
This, in spite of (or perhaps because of) the fact that the storage and processing of Pfizer’s clinical data is done in China. ALL of it. In China.
I don’t want to get sidetracked by the “why” of American stupidity and errors on vaccines, which potentially gets into medicine under communism versus under capitalism, as well as what communists might do, medically, in a war on capitalism. But I do want to point out that – for some very good but very weird reason, we are suddenly doing things right in the area of vaccines.
It’s important to look at the HHS announcement on the universal vaccine platform. Reading it really sheds light on what is going on.
I will include the text here, with my comments in ***bold. Note the date of the press release – May 1, 2025. This is happening right now, basically.
HHS, NIH Launch Next-Generation Universal Vaccine Platform for Pandemic-Prone Viruses
*** Note that this is not only changing all these vaccines to a “new” platform – it is clearly targeting anything over which the wicked Fake News Media might declare a “pandemic”. IMO the use of the terms “Next-Generation” and “Universal” are targeted and very intentional.
Washington, D.C. – The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the National Institutes for Health (NIH) today announced the development of the next-generation, universal vaccine platform, Generation Gold Standard, using a beta-propiolactone (BPL)-inactivated, whole-virus platform.
*** Again, this is the Chinese CoronaVac technology.
This initiative represents a decisive shift toward transparency, effectiveness, and comprehensive preparedness, funding the NIH’s in-house development of universal influenza and coronavirus vaccines, including candidates BPL-1357 and BPL-24910. These vaccines aim to provide broad-spectrum protection against multiple strains of pandemic-prone viruses like H5N1 avian influenza and coronaviruses including SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV-1, and MERS-CoV.
*** The goal shift toward broad-spectrum protection is key. This is good for doctors, patients, and society – it is BAD for drug company profits. It does not provide an enduringly problematic if not endless money churn, like spike protein vaccines do.
“Our commitment is clear: every innovation in vaccine development must be grounded in gold standard science and transparency, and subjected to the highest standards of safety and efficacy testing,” said HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
*** First note that Kennedy is making this statement. Next, note the tie-in to the improved testing with real placebos and not morally framed but morally sketchy tricks to avoid them. Transparency seems to imply that past vaccine development was done quietly between government and drug companies, and not in public, where it should be done.
The program realigns BARDA’s operations with its statutory mission under the Public Health Service Act—to prepare for all influenza viral threats, not just those currently circulating.
*** Changing the focus of BARDA to include “sustainability” of viral control – meaning it has to think about future virus variants and not just the variant of the week, is a brilliant way to break up the grift between regulators and vaccine makers, which is based on evolutionary churn of targeted proteins (like the spike), and pretending not to know that this is fundamentally designed to continuously fail. The designed failure, which seems to have the purpose of sticking more needles into more people at younger and younger ages, is certainly advantageous for depoppers, who IMO may be identifiable from decisions that ultimately supported the grift. A key point is that Geert vanden Bossche’s warnings about viral mutation under the pressure of leaky vaccines must now be considered – these warnings cannot be ignored by intentionally blind policy, which is a cold but effective technique.
“Generation Gold Standard is a paradigm shift,” said NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya. “It extends vaccine protection beyond strain-specific limits and prepares for flu viral threats – not just today’s, but tomorrow’s as well – using traditional vaccine technology brought into the 21st century.”
*** Look whose name is on this! Jay Bhattacharya! This shows that honest science is re-taking control of what Pfizer was running. The point about “traditional vaccine technology brought into the 21st century” is talking precisely about CoronaVac, using smarter and smarter inactivation technologies.
Generation Gold Standard, developed exclusively by NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID):
*** This sounds like bullshit to me, probably to placate the demons in NIAID, but maybe there were honest people in NIAID who were liberated from their captivity and suppression under Fauci, and they created this effort. If so, great!
*** The following points are most excellent, and explain why modern inactivated whole virus vaccines are so good. But the bottom line is that this is a MASSIVE shift away from the mRNA vaccines. Just read this carefully.
Recalibrates America’s pandemic preparedness. Unlike traditional vaccines that target specific strains, BPL-inactivated whole-virus vaccines preserve the virus’s structural integrity while eliminating infectivity. This approach induces robust B and T cell immune responses and offers long-lasting protection across diverse viral families. Moreover, the intranasal formulation of BPL-1357 is currently in Phase Ib and II/III trials and is designed to block virus transmission—an innovation absent from current flu and COVID-19 vaccines.
Embodies efficient, transparent, and government-led research. The BPL platform is fully government-owned and NIH-developed. This approach ensures radical transparency, public accountability, and freedom from commercial conflicts of interest.
Marks the future of vaccine development. In addition to influenza and coronavirus, the BPL platform is adaptable for future use against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), metapneumovirus, and parainfluenza. It also offers the unprecedented capability to protect against avian influenza without inducing antigenic drift—a major step forward in proactive pandemic prevention.
Clinical trials for universal influenza vaccines are scheduled to begin in 2026, with FDA approval targeted for 2029. The intranasal BPL-1357 flu vaccine, currently in advanced trials, is also on track for FDA review by 2029.
###
SO – you can certainly see that it sure looks like the “good guys” are winning – and winning very easily. Too easily, IMO.
As long as the Fauci embeds are being watched carefully, to make sure they don’t interfere and sabotage, then I think we are headed in a very good direction.
Bottom Line – There is too much winning here to be just lucky beginner success by MAHA.
IMO, MAHA is getting help from behind the green curtain. And I would not be surprised if I was to learn that “Q players and Q friendlies” are part of that help.
We continue to mourn the untimely passing of our beloved compatriot DePat, known in real life as Susie Sampson, and also as author Patricia Holden.
Until we have a dedicated author for the Tuesday daily open thread, I will be posting “placeholders” like this one, which may or may not be spiced up with additional content.
Gudthots will take DePat’s old Thursday daily open thread.
Please notify me in advance if you would like to post anything in lieu of the Tuesday placeholder. We welcome all content – the topic doesn’t matter.

Cholesterol and Statins
by Gail Combs
Since many of us on the Qtree are older I wanted to document my adventures with the medical establishment. Hopefully my digging will help others avoid harmful drugs by providing the information you need to make an informed decision.
My Labs came back:
LDL = 114(H)
HDL = 98(H)
The Doc wanted to put me on STATINS and my answer was HELL NO!
What I found incredible is the lack of knowledge of the three doctors I have encountered so far. The first, despite my telling her I had a major problem with losing potassium, put me on a high level of Prednisone WITHOUT mentioning the fact I might have to take addition potassium (K) to offset the additional loss of K from the drug. This is well documented in the literature.
In the follow-up visit, not only was a statin recommended but the connection between chronic inflammation (my asthma) and higher cholesterol levels was completely ignored.
As I mentioned, the vast majority of cholesterol in your body was made in your liver. Cholesterol production increases when the body is under stress: emotional stress can cause elevated cholesterol because the stress hormone cortisol is made out of cholesterol. Physical stress on the body can also elevate cholesterol. Because cholesterol helps to repair and heal your body, you will produce more if there is a great deal of inflammation occurring in your body. So all those factors above that raise inflammation, can raise your cholesterol too.
Therefore the cure for elevated cholesterol can be quite simple –lower the inflammation and you’ll also lower the cholesterol.

Background
Cholesterol metabolism and immune response are closely linked. Cholesterol is critical for the synthesis of lipid rafts, which activate receptors involved in antigen recognition, influences the production of NET and modulates the activation and polarization of macrophages. Oxysterols in turn regulate macrophage activation, migration, and cytokine production. While the immune response modulates the expression of genes involved in the synthesis, absorption and efflux of cholesterol. Cholesterol accumulation in immune cells promotes proinflammatory immune responses creating a vicious cycle that sustains immune inflammation. High-density lipoproteins (HDL) are typically reduced during inflammation, when reverse cholesterol transport is impaired, thus promoting hyperactivation of TLR2 and TLR4 by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and other microbial products, resulting in inhibition of stress-induced activating transcription (ATF) 3 and enhanced production of cytokines by macrophages. Further endangering an already delicate balance, HDL proinflammatory subfractions with lower content of apoA-1, antioxidant enzymes, and L-CAT, are produced, and further fuel inflammation.
Alterations in the biochemical network between cholesterol, inflammation and immunity are emerging as a pathogenetic mechanism of numerous human disorders, among which atherosclerosis, cardiovascular diseases and their complications, metabolic diseases and diabetes, infectious diseases and sepsis, autoimmune and auto-multiinflammatory disorders, acquired and congenital hypo-immune diseases, and cancer….
So the Cabal’s bio-weapon, SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, is likely to raise cholesterol levels given the body’s response to the spike protein is inflammation and in many cases chronic inflammation known as Long Covid.
….other papers showed that the spike protein by itself (without being part of the corona virus) can damage endothelial cells and disrupt the blood-brain barrier. These findings may be even more relevant to the pathogenesis of long-COVID syndrome that may affect as many as 50% of those infected with SARS-CoV-2. In COVID-19, a response to oxidative stress is required by increasing anti-oxidant enzymes. In this regard, it is known that polyphenols are natural anti-oxidants with multiple health effects. Hence, there are even more reasons to intervene with the use of anti-oxidant compounds, such as luteolin, in addition to available vaccines and anti-inflammatory drugs to prevent the harmful actions of the spike protein.
Luteolin, 3′,4′,5,7-tetrahydroxyflavone, is a common flavonoid that exists in many types of plants including fruits, vegetables, and medicinal herbs. Plants rich in luteolin have been used in Chinese traditional medicine for treating various diseases such as hypertension, inflammatory disorders, and cancer. Having multiple biological effects such as anti-inflammation, anti-allergy and anticancer, luteolin functions as either an antioxidant or a pro-oxidant biochemically…. Vegetables and fruits such as celery, parsley, broccoli, onion leaves, carrots, peppers, cabbages, apple skins, and chrysanthemum flowers are luteolin rich….
Next I want to get into the vilification of cholesterol and it’s history. The following is a great article and well worth reading. This is just a sample.
The mean would be 224 so my LDL is actually on the very low end of the scale! And even if the chart is actually looking at the combined amount of LDL + HDL, then my 114+98 = 212 is still lower than average. From the article:
This same range of cholesterol levels has been seen in people who do have heart disease and peoplewho do nothave heart disease, as documented by Professor Brisson using data from the Framingham Study – which is one of the largest studies ever done in it.
Since the Framingham Study, other studies have also confirmed that people WITH heart disease have the same cholesterol levels as people WITHOUT heart disease.
For example, in the UK, the typical person who has a heart attack tends to have the same cholesterol level that is seen for healthy middle-aged and older people in the general population. Something that is not unique to the UK.
A study published in the Lancet, included 5,754 patients from Australia and New Zealand who had already had a heart attack. The average cholesterol level of this group of people was around 220 mg/dl (5.7 mmol/l). Data from the WHO Global Infobase shows that around the same time, the average cholesterol level for the general population was also 220 mg/dl (5.7 mmol/l).
So people who suffered a heart attack had the same average cholesterol level as the general healthy population.
This is a direct and explicit consequence of the shift to eating garbage.
Processed food is INHUMANE. It’s the fastest way to kill off our population, which it looks like these people are trying to do.
The Real Research Has Been Buried
One of the most comprehensive studies on heart disease was COMPLETELY buried.
Data from the Minnesota Coronary Experiment was unearthed in 2017 after 40 years of sitting dormant.
Ancel Keys, the progenitor of the diet-heart hypothesis, was the lead on the study. It was one of the most comprehensive to date: randomized, controlled and 9,400 participants.
Subjects were in mental health institutions or nursing homes, which helped to ensure the dietary guidelines were followed to a tee for 56 months.
The control group continued to eat a diet high in saturated fats and animal fats. The intervention group ate a serum cholesterol lowering diet that replaced saturated fat with vegetable oils (from corn oil and corn oil polyunsaturated margarine).
Results:
The intervention group had a 14% reduction in cholesterol
But this didn’t reduce death rate. There was a 22% HIGHER risk of death for each 30 mg/dL reduction in cholesterol….
A Sharyl Attkisson clip of 9 minutes, giving some history. In 2004, recommended cholesterol levels were lowered based on a study by doctors connected to the drug manufacturers. When this conflict of interest was pointed out the FDA ignored it. And then the recommended levels were lowered even further in 2013. Half of the ‘advisors’ recommending the levels were compensated by the Drug manufacturers. And then there is the American Heart Association who develops the standards and its relationship to the drug manufacturers.
What is worse, is not only are statins a money waster, they are also very bad for you.
Since their introduction in the 1980s, statin drugs have been almost universally hailed as “wonder drugs” by medical authorities around the world. The global market for statins was $16 billion in 2016, and approximately 40 million Americans (that’s one in every five adults!) takes a statin….
As you know, we have seen statin cholesterol drugs do really bad things to stem cells in culture. On the other end of that spectrum, we’ve also seen high triglycerides due to metabolic syndrome hurt stem cells. One of our patients who was instructed to get off statin drugs before her stem cell procedure recently sent this article by MIT professor Dr. Stefanie Seneff, which is so well done and does such a great job of explaining why statins are bad for you, I had to share. It is also so scientifically dense; I thought a quick summary would be helpful for my readers. Here goes:
Statins decrease cholesterol by blocking an important enzyme pathway, yet cholesterol is needed for the normal health functioning of all cells. In particular, cholesterol is a key component of all healthy cell membranes.
Cholesterol is also needed to make vitamin D3, sex hormones, and steroid hormones.
The brain is only 2% of the body’s total weight, but houses 25% of the body’s cholesterol.
LDL cholesterol is what we have been trained to believe is “bad” cholesterol, when in fact it’s an important transport container for many key items.
The outer shell of the LDL transport container is vulnerable to attack by high blood sugars, so in patients with poor blood sugar control (metabolic syndrome) these important transport containers for key nutrients get gummed up by these extra sugars in the blood.
These “gummed up” LDL containers get attacked by cells of the body in the walls of blood vessels which lead to “plaques” that clog arteries.
Artificially lowering cholesterol by statin drugs causes the LDL transport containers to have too little protection. The function of these containers would normally be to transport excess blood sugars from the liver as fat and get rid of this throughout the body. However, these cholesterol deficient containers can’t perform this important function, magnifying the bad effects of excess sugar consumption. This is what makes high fructose corn syrup so dangerous, as fructose as a sugar is ten times more efficient in gumming up the LDL transport system.
This damaged sugar to fat transport system due to a lowered cholesterol level also results in too much fructose in the blood stream (which would normally be converted to fat in the liver and transported by the LDL transport system). This excess blood sugar causes damage to the proteins in the blood.
Co-enzyme Q10 synthesis is hampered by the blockage of the cholesterol enzyme pathway and this is needed to run cells and muscles. This can result in problems in the batteries of the cells and muscles (mitochondria).
Since the muscles can’t use CoQ10, they decide instead to use all of that extra fructose in the blood serum, which is now in plentiful (and damaging) supply because statins block it’s conversion into fat by the liver and it’s transport out of the liver by the LDL containers. When they do this, it’s without oxygen, so it’s anaerobic and lactic acid builds up, causing painful muscles.
The muscles do process the fructose, but they do so in a really inefficient way, requiring 19 times more energy to get the same muscle output-causing a sense of fatigue.
This alternative fuel system for the muscles leads to damaged muscle cells. After several years of lactic acid build-up due to statin use (the equivalent of being forced to run a constant marathon), the muscles “give out”. This author believes that this leads to a higher rate of severe muscle disorders like rhambdomyolysis as well as kidney failure (due to the renal system processing all of these muscle break down products). The author also believes that these muscle breakdown products can lead to nerve damage. She believes that this nerve damage can lead to a higher incidence of severe diseases such as ALS. My comments: These claims will take intensive study to see if they hold up.
The lack of cholesterol in the system eventually results in the heart and other tissues becoming dependent on an alternate fuel supply-sugar. There is also impaired uptake of glucose by the cells, which leads to the higher prevalence of diabetes that shows up in statin studies.
Cholesterol is critical for normal brain function. As mentioned already, the brain contains a lot of cholesterol as it makes up the important covering of the nerves (myelin sheath). Think of this as like the plastic covering of a wire, which insulates the wire and allows it to conduct electricity. This would explain the common reports of memory loss in patients taking statin drugs. A recent study that involved careful manual labeling of statin side effects from large studies showed a higher degree of neurological disorders in patients taking statins. These include neuropathy, parasthesia and neuralgia, and debilitating neurological diseases, ALS and Parkinson’s disease.
Longer life in one study that followed patients for 17 years was associated with higher cholesterol levels and full function of the enzymes that statin drugs inhibit. The author concludes that statins are a great way to fast track aging.
This author belives that eating foods rich in cholesterol and sulfur (like eggs) and sun exposure are ways to increase your cholesterol sulfate levels which can help clear arteries, not block them.
The upshot? Dr. Seneff believes that these statin side effects will eventually cause the recall of the drug class. Is she right? All I can say is that much of the science she explains makes sense and that we’ve seen what statin drugs can do to cells in culture and it isn’t pretty!

Get Smart – Buy a Globe!
When I was trying to get somebody to take DePat’s Tuesday open thread – meaning THIS thread – and there were no takers, I toyed with the idea of turning this open into a kind of comedy hour. The satire would be brutal – brutal enough that somebody would quickly decide to shut me up by volunteering to take the open. OR SO I HOPED!
I was going to call myself Flat Earth Wolf, and I planned to ferociously but facetiously advocate everything that most people here disagreed with, if not depise. Flat earth, no virus, deep state Trump, woke right – the worse, the better!
Yeah, at first it sounded kinda fun, but then I realized that it would just drive people away. And even I wouldn’t enjoy it.
SIGH.
Eventually, I just decided to use this open to post my own honest opinions about things. The beauty of that is, if somebody disagrees with me, they only have to volunteer to take the open to shut me up – but I don’t have to be funny or interesting, which is work.
I can just spout off and state my piece – and that is exactly what I’m going to do!
Now, as you have seen, I’ve spent a lot of time being “fair” to flat earth, by making sure people who want to post any side of any debate can do so here – and that is still happening. Most of the time, I’m encouraging people to post views that may oppose not only my own views, but everybody else’s, too.
But it’s time to be more….. how shall I say….. “complete” about things.
I try to be “nice” about a lot of “science” that “has issues”. I just try to smile and not pull out any deadly weapons of argumentation.
No serrated blades. No 100-round clips. No razor-studded baseball bats. Maybe a hanky. Yes. A perfumed hanky. Cough. Cough. Pardon me!
WELL – NOT TODAY, AND NOT RIGHT HERE, AND NOT RIGHT NOW.
¿Comprende?
Pardon me for just one moment. I’m gonna be tougher about science. Because we have to be tough. We are up against a very organized force.
The Yellow Berets, also known as Public Health Service trainees, were a group of physicians who participated in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Associate Training Program during the Vietnam War era. They were often derogatorily referred to as “Yellow Berets” by supporters of the war who viewed them as avoiding military service.
We are up against some really bad people, who are fully prepared to tell any lie for their purposes. So this opposing army – OUR army – can’t tolerate weak, wrong, and misled science in the forward combat positions. SURE – if you want to work on the base back in safe territory, you can believe all the bad and broken science you want. But if you want to get out in front, you have to subject your own biases to the relentless sharpening forces of TRUTH – and in particular EVIDENCE.
Some things are very certain out in the front lines. One of them is that this planet is a sphere, roughly.
NOW – like most other professional scientists, I haz science skilz in a lot of different areas, because most true scientists are like that. We don’t turn off the science when we walk out of school or job – and our opinions can be particularly relevant in looking at other people’s “expert” stuff, and asking terrible, sharp, venomous questions that the “experts” in those areas are hiding from, or pretending don’t exist.
Much “organization” in current, problematic, sick, “mainstream” science is done to insulate compromised insiders from pesky intelligent outsiders.
Decorum, you know. That’s it. Decorum.
Well, too bad.
BUT we have to hold ourselves to the same revolutionary standards.
Yadig? Of course! What’s good for vaccines, is good for “no virus”, “flat earth”, and many other things.
Globe Earth Wolf has a recommendation that will ultimately test your faith in God, by beating on it. He’s gonna BEAT your armor until it is HARDER, and the first beat-down is that you need to buy an actual globe and STUDY IT.
They’re CHEAP AS DIRT. Most are made in CHYYYNA. But you still have to buy one. I don’t care where it’s made. BUY A GLOBE. And if you already have one, pull it out of the closet, attic or basement.
Buy one at a garage sale, if you have to.
I recommend buying a globe that is at least 12 inches in diameter, and is mounted so that the tilt of Earth’s axis relative to the sun is clearly demonstrable.
Blue oceans which are highly differentiated in color from the land masses are very helpful. Political boundaries are somewhat immaterial, although they do help you LOCATE things more quickly and precisely, and if they are current, the globe can be used to increase your current geopolitical understanding. On the other hand, a vintage globe can be useful for more historical understanding. In either case, I recommend blue oceans, because some vintage globes hide this physically useful truth, by making everything somewhat off-white, sepia and tan, simply to look good on furniture, as opposed to BEATING ON YOUR BRAIN, which is my purpose.
What I am doing is actually a stupid trick from science – a silly secret among the “top men”. And top women, but let’s not get TOO bogged down in DEI.
You see, MODELS – simple physical models – are behind so much of the best science and so many of the best scientists. I have watched this throughout my entire life, and it’s hilarious. Good models are what won Watson and Crick the Nobel Dynamite & Bankster Prize for DNA, and Doudna and Charpentier the same for CRISPR-Cas9. Good models are how all the best work on C60/Buckyballs/Fullerenes was done.
Good models are how stereochemistry was explained in the late 19th century. Good models are – over and over – how organic chemistry and then biochemistry were worked out in the 19th and 20th centuries.
When I went to school with a bunch of scary smart people, I quickly realized that I could use my cheap plastic molecular model set, which I was ironically forced to buy, but wisely chose to actually use, to find all sorts of science which had apparently evaded older students and even our professors for years. Simple, stupid, cheap, plastic and aluminum, “straws and jacks” (not even balls and sticks) was all it took to figure out realities that would ALWAYS show up in chemical behavior, spectroscopy, and quantum mechanical calculations.
I would SHOW PEOPLE this stuff with models – and you could always tell the winners from the losers by how fast they would start using their own “required but never used” model set to figure things out – by how carefully (or stupidly and carelessly) they would cut their little bonds – by how carefully or carelessly they would grab the right “jack” to get the right angles at the atoms – by how strongly they would reason past the limitations of the cheap models – and by how quickly they would spend some of their hard-earned but very limited cash to buy a SECOND or THIRD model set, to make even bigger and better models possible.
I am doing the exact same thing here, to make you smarter – to make YOU a winner.
Because we can’t have too much winning if you aren’t on the same page as Trump, as well as the historical patriots who really did walk this SPHERICAL planet and built this great civilization – and GOD – who made this WORKING BALL on which WORKING LIFE not only EXISTS but THRIVES and then hopefully carries on His PRO-LIFE MISSION of creating and persisting a life-filled and God-loving universe, which is something GOD WANTS BECAUSE IT’S GOOD.
Just my opinion?
Yeah. But still – buy a globe. You will learn so much from it.
I recommend keeping your globe in some place you visit regularly. I stand in front of my globe generally 2-4 times a day, and I probably toy with it at least daily. When we’re having science discussions here, especially after one of Steve’s science posts, I may spend a half hour with that globe.
What am I looking at?
I am looking at seasons. I’m looking at angles of the sun. I’m looking at hours of daylight, twilight, and darkness. But that’s just the beginning.
Most importantly, I’m looking at thousands of tiny details and saying “OH, THAT MAKES SENSE”. Airplane flights. Jet lag. Shipping routes. Planetary distances. Phone conversations. Satellites. “4 AM”. Russia, CHYYYNA, Japan. Burma Shave. TAIWAN. Why Hawaii has always been filled with trouble and bullshit. Look at your globe and every little thing starts to make sense.
This is very critical. When you have a real, true, winning solution in science, like a spherical planet, it just makes all the little stuff WORK. All the thousands of minor details WORK for any scientist who looks at the model, and kicks the tires. This is why Newton is not “replaced” by Einstein – he’s just being helped out around the edges where things get weird.
The problem with “Flat Earth” (and other things I’ll talk about later) is that one big mistake made from an emotionally attractive bias to the past tries (and fails) to upset all the little yet critical stuff other people are doing or have done – meaning millions of honest, good-faith observations. THEN, the same people who break all the little yet critical stuff for everybody else, when confronted, just throw back some non-working, “causes even more trouble”, evasion of an answer, and pretend that they answered the problem, when they didn’t. And that is exactly why nobody takes them seriously, and most people ignore them.
In science, you have to make something that lets OTHER PEOPLE explain or predict stuff on their own, successfully, nearly every time, to actually have a product that sells AND GETS RE-SOLD. Newton did that. Chemistry did that. Electromagnetism did that. Relativity did that. Quantum mechanics did that. Particle physics did that.
When you look at the globe, try to predict how long automobile trips and plane flights take. Look at where islands are. Look at where history happened. Look at where mankind started, wandered, and settled. Look at climate. Look at weather. Look at temperatures. Look at where those temperatures are on the globe.
Right there, the semi-frozen pizza stumbles hard, but the globe, with two poles on one axis, just works like crazy. Everything is nicely – no – perfectly explained – and it’s explained all together at the same time, by a very simple model.
Your actual globe will make you a solid and strong glober. And scientist. And lover of truth.
And then you will become even stronger, because – believe it or not – you will become stronger in FAITH. You will start to see how God makes stuff WORK – and I mean REALLY WORK – simply, powerfully, independently – and that pattern is something you can predict will show up again, and again, and again.
God makes stuff that WORKS. And KEEPS WORKING.
But I’m getting ahead of things.
So buy that globe, or get the old one out, and let’s talk about it. Make that globe WORK for you. Let it help you see the TRUTH.
And as it brings you closer to TRUTH, it will bring you closer to GOD.

A Complete Description of an Alternative Chemotherapeutic Approach Which Quickly Led to 100% Cancer Freedom
Foreword by WOLF MOON
Most of the regular denizens of The Q Tree are familiar with Linda’s journey through the terrifying uncertainty of a cancer diagnosis and treatment during the last year. That story, spread out over many daily threads here on the website, is incredibly hard to stitch together, if you have not been following along.
Just a few days ago, we were blessed with amazing news. While all of us were thrilled by the good news, I had to admit that I had already forgotten very important details of the original diagnosis. Some of it may have been mixing things up with my wife’s case, or that of a friend’s wife, but still – it wasn’t a great moment in the history of my memory.
Rather than asking Linda a million questions, and surely having others do the same, I had an atypically inspired idea – why not ask Linda to re-tell the whole story as one coherent statement, and better still, tell us with her current perspective? Wonderfully, Linda agreed to do just that.
That’s all I’m saying. Here is Linda, in her own words. I have not changed a thing.
MY CANCER JOURNEY
As many of you know, I was diagnosed with breast cancer last August. Looking back, it was only by the hand of God that it was found at all. For a good part of my adult life, I’ve avoided going to doctors for anything but what I can’t find a way to treat myself. I found out a long time ago in dealing with my hypothyroidism that most doctors are not going to deviate from their strict standard of care, which means Big Pharma drugs, whether they really help or not. And I try to avoid Big Pharma drugs if at all possible.
So I wouldn’t have gone to the doctor at all except I had a pre-cancerous lesion that I wanted to get zapped. I get my health care from the VA and they actually now have a primary care clinic in Salem. They assigned me a primary care NP and gave me an appointment. She wasn’t about to just zap the lesion but also gave me a complete physical along with labs and insisted I get a mammogram.
I drug my feet for a couple of weeks, but finally made the appointment and thankfully got it done. They found a small mass in my left breast and then did a needle biopsy using ultrasound a week later. They found that I had ER+ PR+ HER2- breast cancer. ER+ and PR+ mean that my cancer has estrogen and progesterone receptors. HER2- is a less aggressive cancer than HER2+, so I caught a break there.
At that point, I started reading everything I could find on fenbendazole. I heard it mentioned here several times on the Q Tree as a cancer treatment, but didn’t know where to get it, how much to take, or what to take it with. I finally found the Fenbendazole Cancer Support Group on Facebook that gave me most of the answers that I was looking for, a protocol I could use and adjust for my own situation, and a lot of support from others fighting cancer. This is the group:
It’s a private group. But anyone who has cancer or is the care giver of someone with cancer can join. There are a lot of health care professionals in the group who are very knowledgeable. They have a suggested protocol that anyone can download and use. Most people take that protocol and adjust it for their own needs. I doubt that any 2 people in that group are using the exact same protocol. One thing to keep in mind is that the protocol doesn’t mention Ivermectin. During COVID, Facebook was closing down groups and banning people for even mentioning Ivermectin, so they didn’t include it or allow people to talk about it until about the last year when that changed. But most people in the group are taking 24 mg of Ivermectin a day as part of their protocol.
Ivermectin is super important because it actually kills cancer stem cells in addition to all the different ways it fights cancer. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy don’t kill cancer stem cells, which is one reason why cancers come out of remission.
The whole point of having a cocktail of supplements taken at different times of the day is that you need anti-cancer compounds circulating in your body 24/7. It’s really amazing to me how many foods and supplements actually have anti-cancer qualities. And that’s important because cancer has a lot of different pathways to get fuel for growth and different signalling mechanisms to spread and metastasize. Some supplements attack one or two of those pathways, but you need different ones to attack other pathways. Jane McClelland wrote a book called “How to Starve Cancer” in which she identified all the pathways cancer uses to grow and to spread and then found old drugs that could be used to block all those pathways. She cured her own cancer that way. The problem for most of us, though, is getting a doctor to prescribe all those old, out-of-patent drugs! Using supplements that do much the same thing instead of Big Pharma drugs is the answer.
When I first started, I bought most of what was on their protocol. I also tried a lot of different supplements that people suggested and found worked well for them. Many people swear by soursop tea and Esiac tea. I’m not much of a tea drinker, but I do drink soursop tea once in awhile. Another was frankincense (Boswellia). It has anti-inflammatory properties and anti-cancer properties as well. I was really excited about trying it, so I bought a couple of bottles only to find out after a week that it caused unbearable itching all over my body. Needless to say, I dropped that one! The point is to use what works best for you and also to make sure there are no interactions with any drugs you may be taking.
This is the protocol I finally settled on:
1 Hour Before Breakfast: Hi-Dose Serrapeptase – 120,000 spu
2 Hours After Dinner: D3 – 5,000 mg (I drop that to 2,000 in the summer) Magnesium – 400 mg Melatonin – 400 mg
Before Bed: Hi-Dose Serrapeptase – 120,000 spu
That probably sounds like a lot of supplements. It did to me, even though I already took a lot of vitamins and supplements. And fenbendazole, ivermectin, and supplements can be expensive to buy month after month after month. But I managed it on my social security check. A number of people in my cancer group who had undergone more traditional treatments ended up paying thousands of dollars their health insurance didn’t cover. So maybe I actually took the cheaper route.
But for someone on a really limited budget, I think they would still do really well just starting with Fenben, Ivermectin, Tudca (or milk thistle), and Serrapeptase (or pectasol). Fenben and Ivermectin are the big guns that each fight cancer in a half dozen different ways. Tudca or milk thistle is for liver support. Serrapeptase (or pectasol) is used to get the dead cancer cells out of your system so the cancer doesn’t use them as fuel.
With fenbendazole, you can’t immediately start with a high dose or you’re going to have a Herxheimer reaction – a lot of flu-like symptoms. Taking it slowly helps a lot. What was stressed in my cancer group was to work your way up to the higher doses and monitor your liver numbers as you go. I started at 222 mg for a week, then 444 mg the next week, then kept increasing at that pace until I got up to 1500. I reached 1500 mg about 2 weeks before my lumpectomy surgery. I could have gone up to the 2000, but at that point I found out that my tumor had shrunk by half so I just stayed at that dose. I knew it was working and would continue to work at that point. It’s really important to take fenben AFTER eating a meal that contains fat for absorption. Or as an alternative, you can mix the powder with a little bit of DMSO. This also helps fenben penetrate the blood brain barrier for those who have a brain cancer.
Anyone researching Fenben is going to hear about Joe Tippens. He had small cell lung cancer and used Fenben and a few other supplements in his protocol. He never took more than 222 mg 4 days a week. Unfortunately, this protocol has gone all over the internet and people think that’s all they need. They try it and find it doesn’t work for them. The problem is that 222 mg is the dose you would give a 10 pound dog, not a human. Most people are going to need 1,000-2,000 mg per day, especially if they have a late stage or aggressive cancer. Joe Tippens was on an immunotherapy trial at the same time he was taking Fenben, so that is undoubtedly why it worked for him. In my cancer group, there are many people who had stage 4 cancers who ended up cancer free on this protocol. They all took close to 2,000 mg per day of Fenben.
Protecting your liver during this protocol is really important. Fenbendazole will cause a lot of cancer cell die-off and start to stress your liver. Tudca or milk thistle will add protection. Dandelion root and burdock root also protect the liver. If you have a hormonal cancer like mine, or you have a lot of other health issues, you shouldn’t take milk thistle or dandelion root. Tudca is recommended for those in that situation. Tudca is simply a bile salt and very safe. Most people start with 500 mg twice a day. However, once I got to 750 mg of Fenben, my liver numbers started rising out of range. Raising my tudca dosage to 1,000 mg twice a day brought them back down.
My cancer group recommends you get liver labs every 2-3 months. Most doctors aren’t going to order them for you. They would probably discourage you from using fenben or ivermectin to start with. Many people don’t know that you can order your own lab tests online, print out the requisition, and then take it down to your local lab and get your blood drawn. I order my labs from Ulta Lab Tests. Their Liver Function Panel is $19.95 and can be ordered here:
You also need to take high dose serrapeptase twice a day to get the dead cells out of your system after fenben and ivermectin kills them. Otherwise, your cancer will actually “eat” those dead cells as fuel. Plus, your liver will have to work a lot harder. You need to take 120,000 spu twice a day. It must be taken at least 2 hours after eating and at least 1/2 hour before eating. I always took mine before bed and an hour before breakfast. Then 1/2 hour before breakfast and dinner I would take my tudca and a couple other supplements that need to be taken on an empty stomach. Amazon or iherb both have high dose serrapeptase. The one I use is the Drs. Best brand.
Anyone on blood thinners shouldn’t take serrapeptase, but substitute Pectasol (modified citrus pectin) instead. You need 15 grams daily for the best anti-cancer benefits. 1 scoop of powder is 5 grams. So you can take 1 scoop 3 times daily or 1.5 scoops twice daily. It’s taken the same way as serrapeptase – 2 hours after eating and at least 1/2 hour before eating.
Those 4 items – Fenben, Ivermectin, Tudca (or milk thistle), and Serrapeptase (or Pectasol) – are a great place to start and can form the basis of any protocol. You can add more supplements as you go along. But those 4 are critical.
You may be wondering about that super high dose of melatonin I take – 1,000 mg per day. Many people take 3-5 mg before bed to help with sleep. 1,000 mg sounds like it would put you in a coma all day. Actually, you don’t feel the effects at all until it gets dark and that seems to trigger the sleepiness. Melatonin is really great for cancer. It fights cancer 6 different ways, particularly at higher doses. The cancer group recommends taking 300 mg an hour before any scan that involves radiation to protect from some of the effects. If you want to learn more, “Doris Loh Talks” is a private Facebook group about the healing benefits of high dose Melatonin based on scientific research.
I buy melatonin powder because it is a lot cheaper than pills. 1/16 teaspoon is 200 mg. Amazon has tiny measuring spoons that go down to 1/64 teaspoon that are really handy. Here is where I buy melatonin:
I starred two items in my protocol – iodine and DIM – because they’re very specific to breast cancer. The two places in the body that use over 95% of the iodine the body needs are breasts and the thyroid. Iodine at 50-100 mg per day has also been shown to very effectively fight breast cancer. Like Fenben, you shouldn’t just start at 50 mg or you’ll end up with a Herxheimer reaction. I started with just 1 drop of 5% Lugols in a glass of water then added another drop each week until I reached 8. One nice effect I saw once I reached 50 mg was that I could lower my dosage of thyroid meds. 5% Lugols is really hard to find. Most places only have 2%. But I found a good supplier here:
DIM helps the body to get rid of excess estrogen. My oncologist tried really hard to get me on hormone blockers, but after researching the side effects – osteoporosis and heart issues – I said no and started taking DIM instead.
I get almost all my supplements from either iherb.com or Amazon. The only place I buy Fenben from is the Happy Healing Store:
The group sent a bunch of different samples of Fenben from different suppliers to a testing lab a couple of years ago and the only ones that tested pure fenbendazole were the Happy Healing Fenben and Merck’s Panacur-C and Safeguard. The one from Fenben Labs that you see recommended everywhere was only 5% fenben. A lot of people (including me at first) bought that brand and didn’t think fenben worked. Some guy in Lithuania owns it and the lab he supposedly uses to test his fenben is located at the same address. Buyer beware!
I’ve always bought my ivermectin from an Indian seller because it’s about half the price of the websites based here. And most of the ivermectin is made in India to start with. I bought from India Mart back during COVID. I think Kalbo mentioned them as a source. You just go on the site and post what you want and how you want to pay and vendors will contact you. There are now a lot of Indian sellers that have their own websites to sell ivermectin. The list below are from sites I’ve collected from mentions in the cancer group and from here. I haven’t used anywhere near all of them. The first 2 are the ones I’ve used most recently. You really have to check them out for yourself because some change their payment methods without notice. I prefer using Pay Pal myself. I generally buy 200 12 mg pills at a time because this protocol is long-term and I’ll definitely use them. Shipping from India is generally $30 whether you order a small or large amount.
I was on this protocol a little over 3 months before I had my surgery. I kept dragging my feet because I wanted to see how well the protocol worked. A week or two before surgery they did another ultrasound and I found that my tumor had shrunk by half. I seriously considered not doing surgery at all and just letting the protocol finish the job. But I finally decided that I just wanted to get the tumor out. A lumpectomy is nowhere near as invasive as a lot of surgeries. And they do a lymph node biopsy at the same time. They found that my sentinel node, the closest one to that breast had a micro tumor in it. So the cancer was just starting to metastasize. It could be that micro tumor was actually a lot bigger and had shrunk from the protocol.
As I mentioned last week, that surgery was over a year ago and I just had a mammogram that was completely clear of cancer. This protocol has definitely helped me get there and stay there. I’m now moving to a maintenance protocol to make sure it doesn’t come back.
I really appreciate all the prayers from the people here and people outside this site. I know that in the final analysis, God healed me. He just used the protocol and the good surgeons and nurses at the VA Hospital to do the work. God bless all of you!
Addendum: Notes by Wolf
I want to start by thanking Linda for sharing this information. As you can see, this is enough for almost anybody to get started using fenbendazole to treat cancer. Praise God! This is phenomenal information, and again, thank you to Linda for sharing it. I absolutely feel confident that I could being taking the steps needed to use fenbendazole, based on this article.
Now, a point for the chemically curious.
DIM is 3,3′-diindolylmethane, a natural product which is formed by stomach action on another compound found in cruciferous vegetables. The reaction is shown below.
DIM has proven antihormonal effects that are useful for treating breast cancer. See the following medical study.
3,3-Diindolylmethane (DIM): a nutritional intervention and its impact on breast density in healthy BRCA carriers. A prospective clinical trial
Please feel free to ask Linda any questions you might have. I will say right now that she does not have to answer any questions she would prefer not to answer. She can just say “Wolf says next question!” and that’s that! OK? Good! *WINK*

THE STUFF
If you want to see how much bad science is out there, just watch this lady review a scientific paper that was getting some “wowee” buzz.
You don’t have to understand the equations – just assume for the moment that she knows what she’s talking about (this is her area of science).
But notice that the opposite should also be true (and she says it). Some valuable gems get lost in the trash as well. Good science is increasingly not noticed, until it is rediscovered a second or third time and somehow gets more attention.
