Guest guest Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I find it very hard to believe that parasites cause cancer (ala ). However, it is interesting that some potent anti-cancer agents are also anti-parasitical. Several of us have read about and perhaps take artemesinin, which destroys malaria parasites and cancer both. Now I read that mebendazole, which kills a whole slew of intestinal parasites, is also apparently good for cancer. So - what IS the connection between parasites and cancer? The above drugs attack cancer directly. They don't kill cancer indirectly by killing parasites and thereby boosting the immune system. They kill cancer cells directly, whether or not parasites are present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
