Retired Joe Tipens from Oklahoma learned in 2016 that he had end-stage small cell lung cancer. By January 2017, metastases from the lungs dispersed almost throughout the man's body and doctors gave him no more than 3 months of life.
Joe was lucky to be enrolled in a clinical trial program, during which he met a veterinarian who offered him a worm medicine for dogs. According to tests, the substance fenbendazole in this drug inhibits the growth of cancer cells.
Joe started taking the medicine and in May 2017, when, according to all forecasts, he was about to die, he came for another examination. And it revealed that in Joe's body there was nothing left of cancer and metastases, his body was completely cleansed!
No one expected such an impressive effect, and the doctors who treated the man were shocked. Now, two years later, Joe's case has finally hit the media and doctors in Oklahoma have decided to scrutinize the phenomenon.
The medicine with fenbendazole is used to treat hookworms, roundworms and other intestinal parasites in animals, primarily dogs.
Its anti-cancer effect in recent years has been confirmed by a number of tests, but a full-fledged trial of this drug on cancer patients has not yet been carried out and therefore doctors do not advise using it alone, even taking into account Joe Tipens' lucky chance.
Joe had nothing to lose, he knew that if he did nothing at all, he would actually die in three months. Therefore, he did not think for a long time when he agreed.

By January 2017, metastases have affected his bladder, pancreas, stomach itself, neck and even penetrated into the bones. According to Joe himself, because of these metastases, his body glowed in the medical scanner "like a Christmas tree."
Joe was full of life before his diagnosis, he had planned an ocean trip and was also looking forward to the birth of his first grandchild. And at one moment his whole life became gray and bleak.
When Joe was enrolled in the research program, he went online to the University of Oklahoma website to find out some information, and accidentally came across an announcement on the university forum that read "If you have cancer, contact me." Joe immediately did so and learned that the ad was written by a veterinarian.

Joe learned from the veterinarian that there is a canine worm drug that has recently been shown to be effective against cancer cells. The study on himself was carried out by a certain scientist who had brain cancer in the last stage. This scientist took the pills for 6 weeks, after which he was completely cured.
Upon learning of this, Joe immediately ordered a batch of this medicine. By that time, he was already so exhausted by the disease that the skin on him "hung like a skeleton." And the canine drug cost him only $ 5 a box.
Fenbendazole attacks cancer cells and depletes them, which leads to their death. Moreover, it is at times less toxic, especially in comparison with chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
Joe started taking the drug and took vitamin E, curcumin and cannabidiol in parallel. He also stayed in the clinical trials program (he did not tell what remedy he was given there) and did not tell his doctors that he had started taking dog medicine.
In May 2017, Joe had his first grandson and Joe celebrated the occasion with joy. And two weeks later he went for another examination and it showed that there were no more cancer cells in his body.
Joe was stunned, but even more stunned by his treating oncologist.

In September 2017, Joe was again tested on the scanner and again it did not reveal anything. Only then did Joe share his secret with the doctor and told about the dog's medicine for worms.
Then Joe underwent repeated examinations in January 2018 and in April, after which he was asked to leave the cancer center, as he was healthy.
His result seems too good to be true, but Joe claims that he has already collected about 40 other positive cases where the drug has helped cancer patients. After that, the president of the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, Dr. Stephen Prescott, showed interest in dog pills.
Joe and Dr. Prescott are currently working on a special research report.
