Ivermectin and Fenbendazole are indeed off-patent medications

Alheli Picazo is a Canadian journalist and commentator who often shares her views on social media, particularly Twitter. She has been critical of alternative cancer treatments and individuals promoting them, including Dr. William Makis, who has appeared on Joe Rogan's podcast discussing such treatments.

Ivermectin and Fenbendazole are indeed off-patent medications that are not widely recognized as first-line treatments for cancer by mainstream medical institutions. However, it's important to note that just because these drugs are off-patent does not mean that there isn't a market for them or that companies cannot profit from their sale. In the context of COVID-19, for example, there was significant controversy around the use of these medications for prevention and treatment despite limited evidence supporting their efficacy against the virus. This has led to increased demand for these drugs, which can benefit distributors, retailers, and possibly the original manufacturers.

Regarding Dr. Makis, he has faced criticism for his views on vaccines and alternative cancer treatments. The mention of the Dean of Medicine at the University of Calgary, Faculty of Medicine Dr. Jon Meddings likely refers to a past incident where Dr. Makis claimed Dr. Meddings was involved in a cover-up regarding the effectiveness of certain treatments, which led to Dr. Meddings issuing a public apology for any perceived endorsement of such claims.

It is essential for individuals seeking medical advice to consult with licensed healthcare professionals and to critically evaluate information from various sources, including social media and podcasts, before making decisions about their health. The efficacy and safety of treatments should be based on established scientific evidence and clinical studies, not just personal anecdotes or sensational claims.
