The alt right has really done damage

That they don't even realize.

My old man coworker has prostrate cancer. The dr told him that it wasn't aggressive and that they would monitor it.

Another coworker who also had prostrate cancer and went through chemo said he was taking ivermectin and Doterra essential oils to keep it in remission. 🤦‍♀ The essential oils are virtually worthless and other than the placebo effect, have no baring on cancers. The ivermectin hasn't had enough study either way and should be taken under a Dr's consult, which it hasn't been.

So my old man coworker sees how happy and healthy the othet coworker looks, forgetting that he just finished his 2nd round of chemo and just retired, which took a lot of the stress off him and his body. He looks healthy and happy because he made some life changes that led to it. He is also just a very positive person overall, which helps.

He hears that the other coworker is taking ivermectin. He has been panicking over the cancer, so he decides to start taking it. On top of that, he is also taking fenbendazole, another drug that has not been tested on humans, has been shown to potentially increase cancer growth in mice and is nit prescribed by doctors. And, of course, he is buying these online, so who knows what he is actually taking.

I know that anything with a "fen" in the name is generally not good for the heart. These two drugs on their own can cause the liver to become toxic, can cause blood pressure issues as well as intestinal issues because they are anti-parasitic drugs for animals. But since Covid, ivermectin has been the alt right miracle drug.

I worry about the health of both these men. They are dangerously flirting with things that they can't tell their dr they are using, otherwise, the dr would stop seei g them. Theu are putting themselves at risk for zero reason other than wishful thinking these drugs will work. And I would hate to lose either one of them in my life, but they won't be convinced their actions could cost them their lives. The fear of cancer is worth it to them to believe myths and fabrications.

This reality makes me sad that so many idiots have literally put lives at risk.

I was diagnosed with the early stages of prostate cancer about 7 yrs ago. They performed a radical prostatectomy on me and surgically removed the entire organ (I was 68 at the time). My grandfather died of this cancer and my father also got it but died of something else first. So far, thanks be to God, I have had no cancer and am in pretty good health. I even still work. Thanks for sharing these poor men’s story. I will pray for them!

@Thorstormbringer I am glad that you survived cancer, as did I some years ago. You mentioned, "So far, thanks be to God, I have had no cancer and am in pretty good health. I even still work." I am glad for that also, but if you are thanking God for your good health, who should you thank for giving you cancer in the first place?

I don't mean to be provocative, and I am glad that you are healthy now, but people thank God when they survive, but they don't think of Him when they receive their diagnosis. When I survived cancer a lot of people told me I should thank God I survived it, and I kept my comments to myself, but I found it very hurtful to hear people say that to me. I lost my wife to cancer, and I almost died of it myself, and I wondered why my thanks should go to God at all?

But, to each their own.
