MD said: 『probably because of money ..... 』
Joe Tippens 2016年確診患上小細胞肺癌。醫生2017年1月告訴他已處於癌症末期,癌細胞已擴散至全身。在網上認識一名獸醫,後者建議他嘗試非傳統療法,也就是用狗藥治癌。 .... 毒性很微的抗蠕蟲化合物,用於治療狗體內的鉤蟲、蛔蟲和其他腸道寄生蟲,能將癌細胞「餓死」。 獸醫稱,一名科學家曾患第四期腦癌。她服用這種藥6周後,身上的癌細胞就消失了。一項曾在科學期刊《自然》(Nature)上發表的研究表明,抗蠕蟲藥或具抗癌特性。
蒂彭有參與安德森癌症中心的臨床實驗治療,同時服用狗用藥物,不過他並無向醫生說明。除此之外,蒂彭有服用維他命E、大麻二酚(cannabidiol)及薑黃素。
這種新奇療法尚未被醫學界認可,蒂彭此舉可謂賭命。除了服藥的風險,他的醫藥費同樣令外人看得目瞪口呆——一周僅5美元(約39港元)。

He said, "You know, we've known for decades that these anthelmintic class of drugs (meaning to destroy parasites in the intestines) could have possible efficacy against cancer, and in fact in the 80's and 90's there was a drug called Levamisole that was used on colon cancer and it is an anthelmintic drug".
I said, "Doc, if you have known for decades why hasn't more work been done on it?" His answer was honest. He said, "probably because of
money...all of these drugs are far off-patent and nobody is going to spend a gazillion dollars to repurpose them for cancer.....only to have generic competition the next day."』
How can we trust AMA ?
