Episode Details

Ivermectin, once a pandemic darling with dubious COVID claims, is now surging in cancer circles — prescriptions among patients jumped over 100% in just six months after a celebrity podcast sparked hope. But doctors are sounding the alarm: no solid trials prove it works against cancer, the FDA hasn’t approved it, and patients risk skipping proven treatments for unproven ones. Still, for fighters like Ron Duguay — a former NHL star battling stage four colon cancer — it’s a symbol of hope. He’s combining it with standard care, urging others to stay open-minded. Meanwhile, poison control centers are seeing twice as many calls — a warning that high doses without supervision can cause seizures or coma. For Duguay’s family, it’s about the time they’re gaining — and the emotional weight behind every choice.
