Can dog deworming tablets cure cancer?
Stacey meets Mel, who’s hoping a shocking online claim could help with her stage four cancer, and the man whose recovery sparked the extraordinary global trend.
Stacey looks into an emotive and controversial trend claiming that over-the-counter dog deworming tablets fenbendazole can cure cancer. She meets Mel, a woman from Kent with stage four cancer, who decided to start the DIY treatment and chart her progress on her socials.
Further sleuthing takes Stacey to America to meet Joe Tippens, the pioneer of the trend who recovered from terminal lung cancer and sparked nationwide panic buying of fenbendazole in Korea. This leads Stacey to explore why medical trials have never been fully funded. Are there just much more effective alternatives or could it be a conspiracy to protect big pharma profits as online theorists suggest?
