Fenbendazole Joe Tippens Protocol: A Simple Step-by-Step Guide (2023)

By Dr Frank Yap, MD -
Image
If you have been diagnosed with cancer, or have a loved one that is suffering from cancer, chances are you have heard about the Joe Tippens Cancer Protocol. The Fenbendazole Cancer Protocol has been gaining rapid interest over the past years following some fenbendazole advanced cancer success stories. Joe Tippens founded the protocol after he was told a story about a scientist at Merck Animal Health that had been performing cancer research on mice. The research included injecting different types of cancers into different mice body parts. The scientists discovered, through trial and error, a product in their canine product line, fenbendazole, that was batting 1.000 in killing these different cancers in the mice. The scientist was later diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer and was given a grim prognosis of only three months to live. She decided to try the fenbendazole, and after six weeks, showed a clean scan. Joe Tippens had been initially diagnosed with small

10 Best Natural Alternatives to Ozempic (Semaglutide) 2023

By Dr Frank Yap, MD -

If there's anything the Ozempic craze has taught us, it's that people are hungry for weight loss solutions. But as the world leans into wellness, many are now looking beyond pharmaceuticals, turning their gaze to nature's arsenal for blood sugar balance and metabolic health. The 2023 report from the World Obesity Federation estimates that the economic impact of overweight and obesity will surpass $4.3 trillion annually by 2035. In the U.S., the CDC  reports the prevalence of obesity in adults was 41.9% measured from 2017 to March 2020. This represented an increase from 30.5% from 1999 to 2000. The estimated annual medical costs were roughly $173 billion in 2019 dollars. Prescriptions for semaglutide have doubled since mid-2021, rising to more than 1.2 million. In April 2023, a spokesperson for Novo Nordisk, maker of semaglutide, said the drugs are now available in pharmacies nationwide. Semaglutide is sold under the name Ozempic as a diabetes dr

Branch Chain Amino Acid Deficiency Linked to Autism?

By Dr Frank Yap, MD -
Image
Some cases of autism are caused by mutations in the branched chain ketoacid dehydrogenase kinase (BCKDK) gene.(1) The BCKDK gene is involved in the metabolism of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs). In those with BCKDK deficiency, BCAAs are broken down too quickly, leading to depletion.(2) This, in turn, is linked to a neurodevelopmental disorder that includes autism, intellectual disability and microcephaly. Dietary changes, including supplementing with BCAAs, appears to be an effective treatment for some and, if started early, may even prevent autism from developing. BCAA Supplements May Benefit Autism In 2012, researchers found that supplementing with BCAAs reversed some of the associated neurological characteristics in mice, and explained: 3 “By supplementing the diet of human cases with BCAAs, we have been able to normalize their plasma BCAA levels, which suggests that it may be possible to treat patients with mutations in BCKDK with BCAA supplementation.” Joseph Gleeson, a profess

Quercetin and Zinc: Dr Zelenko Prevention and Treatment Protocol (2023)

By Dr Frank Yap, MD -
Image
As of May 2023, more than 35 studies on the topic of zinc and COVID-19 ( c19zinc.com ) and 10 studies on quercetin and COVID-19 have been published ( c19quercetin.com ).  Quercetin is a natural antihistamine and anti-inflammatory plant pigment that boosts your immune system and may work to control viral replication, according to some research. It allows zinc to exert its proven antiviral properties; in treating COVID-19,  quercetin  may also lower inflammation, help clear mucus, prevent ventilator-induced damage and support immunity. According to the research, quercetin has been shown to help fight obesity, Type 2 diabetes, circulatory dysfunction, chronic inflammation and mood disorders. It has even been found to help lower blood pressure. Researchers have found that quercetin can trigger tumor regression and begin the process of apoptosis. This is programmed cell death, without which cells can grow uninterrupted and develop into cancerous growths. In 2003, Quercetin was initially fou

10 Celebrities That Have Gone Public About Wearing Hair Extensions

By Dr Frank Yap, MD -

Wonder why most celebrities have hair that looks so glamorous?  Ninety-seven percent  of them know the ultimate hair secret: hair extensions. Writing for Condé Nast-owned Glamour.com, Bella Cacciatore  argues  that “Hair extensions are so ubiquitous in Hollywood these days, it’s almost more shocking when somebody doesn’t wear them.” If so many celebrities are wearing hair extensions, why do many of them never admit it? Celebrities sometimes shy away from admitting that they wear hair extensions because while mainstream media loves to promote beautiful stars, it also has the back-stabbing habit of shaming them at the first opportunity. For instance, the Daily Mail  describes  hair extensions as “cheating,” which can go “humiliatingly wrong.” Even though some celebrities may not want us to know that they have hair extensions, many have taken the risk and gone public about wearing them. These are the superstars we focus on in this article. Why Is Hair Such a Big Issue? When we look at hai

Quercetin vs Hydroxychloroquine: What's the Difference? (2023)

By Dr Frank Yap, MD -
Image
As of June 2023, there are  more than 2,000 studies  published related to the treatment and prevention of COVID-19. Hydroxychloroquine is among the handful of COVID-19 treatments that are being studied as potential candidates that might influence the outcome in the management of COVID-19. According to a  real time meta-analysis  of more than 200 studies, early treatment is most successful. Hydroxychloroquine and Quercetin are all zinc ionophores. Meaning they all transport zinc into the cells.  We will dive deeper into the science for each of them. Quercetin and COVID-19 Quercetin and zinc are part of the FLCCC and Zelenko protocols for the prevention and early treatment of COVID-19.  Quercetin acts as a zinc ionophore ( PubMed  2014), the same mechanism of action that hydroxychloroquine has via helping zinc pass the cell wall where it might halt viral replication. This zinc ionophore activity of quercetin facilitates the transport of zinc across the cell membrane. It is known that
