418. IS CANCER A PARASITE? AN INTERVIEW WITH THE ELUSIVE WILLIAM SUPPLE, PHD, WHO WRITES THE FENBENDAZOLE SUBSTACK

In this groundbreaking episode of Surviving Healthcare, host Ben Finn interviews William Supple, PhD—author of the controversial new book 'Cancer is a Parasite' and the anonymous founder of the wildly popular Substack 'Benfen.' Supple recounts how his mother-in-law, diagnosed with terminal metastatic breast cancer at age 83, was cured using fenbendazole, an over-the-counter animal dewormer. What began as a desperate experiment has evolved into a global movement, with Supple sharing hundreds of case reports of people overcoming various solid tumor cancers using fenbendazole. He presents compelling evidence that fenbendazole, a microtubule-disrupting antiparasitic, selectively kills cancer cells without side effects—something traditional chemotherapy fails to do. Supple argues that the cancer-as-parasite theory is not just metaphorical but biologically sound, citing shared traits like aneuploidy, independent circadian rhythms, and immune evasion. He reveals that the CIA possessed a 1951 document acknowledging Soviet knowledge of antiparasitics curing cancer in the 1950s, and that the 1976 paper naming the drug 'Oncodazole' was deliberately suppressed. Supple calls for a public health revolution: mass deworming programs using affordable antiparasitics to prevent cancer globally, especially in the U.S., where parasite prevalence is ignored despite evidence linking untreated parasitic infections to chronic inflammation and cancer. He warns that the oncology establishment is complicit in suppressing this cure due to financial interests and institutional capture, and urges patients to take control via the Right to Try Act. The episode ends with a powerful call to action: cancer is not inevitable, and a cure exists—now it’s time to act.
