I appreciate your thoughtful and thought provoking posts. As an accidental drug safety advocate, I wish more doctors had your more cautious approach to treatment. Less is more. Harms from medicine is more prevalent than we have been told.

Interesting article - thank you for sharing your knowledge so openly with the public. It is a thoughtful reflection on how difficult it is to remain accurate in a world full of emotionally charged narratives. I especially appreciated the emphasis on correcting one’s own mistakes and on balancing skepticism with open-mindedness.

Unfortunately, not everyone shares that inclination. As you may know, one Viliam “William” Makis recently attacked you completely out of turn, presenting a comment you made in August 2025 as though it were a post made today. Slightly erratic behavior.

This individual has a long history of vindictive pursuits against people he perceives as enemies, real or imagined. Not to mention that he has completely misrepresented the reasons that led to the termination of his contract in Alberta in 2016, turning what was a sordid sexual-harassment matter into a supposed plot organized by Justin Trudeau, no less 🙄

Wow, that article was shocking. I feel embarrassed that I did not research his claims sooner. Thank you.

Needless to say I love your posts and the approach you take in writing them. I'm an engineer with no medical background but a similar philosophy of questioning one's own belief systems, but as you say, in medicine you have immediate emergency life and death situations and, as it should, learned skill sets need to take over. But away from that scenario I think your philosophy is really captured by the modern hippocratic oath (you likely took) written in 1964 by Louis Lasagna and I really wish more physicians would reflect on that oath and spend real time with the patient not the test results.

I used Ivermectin cream with a little added DMSO to treat a bcc spot on my nostril successfully. My dermatologist had pushed me to get a MOHS procedure which can be disfiguring. I'm glad that I questioned the need for a treatment that radical for a tiny red dot........which was not life threatening.

Jesus said to him, "I am the way and **the truth** and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:6, English Standard Version).

Greatly appreciate all your hard work!

Truth is elusive, yet we cling to our own version of it—lest we be forced to see from another point of view. I experienced this firsthand recently after posting about how several modern medicines originated from plants, and how herbs have since been demonized in favor of patentable drugs. That stirred up quite the hornet’s nest, with commenters quickly taking sides to defend their chosen truths. I wasn’t advocating for either position; I simply wanted to raise awareness. The reaction reminded me how easily we become attached to the comfort of our perceived truths. Life isn’t always an either-or proposition—it can be both. Modern medicine stands to gain much from embracing a more integrative and complementary approach to health. I appreciate your ability to see both sides.

Interesting .. and…deeply thought provoking .

Why are you attacking William Makis? It is weird.

A Midwestern Doctor's avatar

I'm not. He's been attacking me in spurts for the last 10 months and I've just been ignoring him. The thing he posted today was a reply from last year on twitter to someone asking me about his false accusations.

OK. I have cured two skin cancers with ivermectin and fenbendazole. They were gone in 2 to 3 weeks.

A Midwestern Doctor's avatar

I support those therapies but don't focus on them since other people are already writing about them and I have finite time to cover things.

I will also note that in the case of skin cancers, there are a lot of different natural therapies that work.

My friend is undergoing treatment for skin cancer with ivermectin and fenbendazole right now. Unfortunately, it was in an advanced stage, so we are still waiting to see the results.

Where is this alleged attack? I don't see anything here.

I love your work on DMSO. Thank you for all of that. Critically important.

But you fall short. You fall dramatically short by ignoring the excellent work of Dr Mark Bailey and his important essay, A Farewell To Virology

https://drsambailey.com/a-farewell-to-virology-expert-edition/

I've read your dismissals of their No-Virus work and you are wanting.

I get it that you don't want to go "that far."

But you have to decide if you're going to follow the Truth wherever it leads...or just what you think you can say so people don't stop listening to you.

Please. Take people the next step. Read Mark's paper... And the other excellent works he and his wife, Dr Sam Bailey have generated. Reach out to them and try to work with them.

Your readership deserves nothing less.

I hope you will.

Best wishes,

Michael McKay

Could you please look into the Walsh methylation protocol. It cured my lifelong allergies among other things. It would truly benefit people.

A Midwestern Doctor's avatar

I've discussed that in the SSRI articles, particularly since it's one of the best frameworks for who willl and will not benefit from SSRIs.

I have cured two skin cancers with ivermectin and fenbendazole. They were cured in about three weeks. Thousands of other people are carrying cancer with these anti-parasitic medicines. People have been writing for hundreds of years that cancer is parasites.

Surgery is what you want for a skin cancer - it is fast and effective and overwhelmingly safe. Why wait 3 weeks to see if something might work, makes no sense.

SBJanet's avatar

Disfigurement for one.

Mohs is under 1%. Better than cancer spreading deep and wide. You may be thinking of plastic surgery.

Help! Bladder lift and now continual urinary infections!

Excellent points to ponder...

We have a 9yo cat with what I suspect is an injection site sarcoma behind one of his shoulders. He's had it for probably a couple years, and it has grown. I had been putting ivermectin on it, and it shrank to nothing, but it looked like he had chewed it off! He had a raw bloody spot. This frightened me and I stopped using it. But now am I wondering if that is just part of the healing process and if I should have continued, or resumed when the skin healed over? It grew very fast when I stopped using the ivermectin on him...

Thank you for writing the true story about Dr. Sims operation procedures and goals. There is enough real evil, we don't need a false narrative,

There is always more need for love. Learning about others striving to achieve difficult goals to help others (especially others in no position to promote him. Truly selfless help.) inspires many others to do the same -- and that is love in action.
