Drug repurposing involves the use of existing drugs for new therapeutic purposes but it remains an experimental approach. Always consult a healthcare professional. Check for multi-drug interactions including alcohol, food, and supplements.

- CAUTION: Doxycycline Promotes Carcinogenesis & Metastasis via Chronic Inflammatory Pathway: An In Vivo Approach {ref} it was observed that treatment with DMH followed by DOX unexpectedly promoted the colon cancer progression and metastasis, thereby indicating that DOX treatment not only failed to suppress DMH induced colonic lesions but in turn accelerated progression of molecular events leading to colon carcinogenesis. Moreover, normal rats treated with DOX-alone showed increased evidence of chronic inflammation to reactive hyperplasia. We also observed changes in the expression of various biomarker proteins involved in the different stages of colon carcinogenesis to substantiate the carcinogenic potential of doxycycline treatment.
A hypothetical model demonstrates the role of doxycycline-induced chronic inflammation in driving carcinogΓ©nesis by activation of the NF-ΞΊB pathway. - Mebendazole / Fenbendazole

- Caution
- ERK activation "In cancer, MAPK/ERK activation has mostly been associated with tumour growth promotion resulting from overactivity in RAS and RAF mutated signalling pathways12. However, in certain cell types and contexts ERK activation can, on the contrary, be a requirement for inducing cell death29,30. With respect to immune stimulation ERK is necessary for activating immune cells, both T-cells31 and macrophages32, and inducing immune cell mediated tumour cell killing33. For tumours with RAS or BRAF mutations with already maximal intrinsic ERK signalling, ERK mediated immune cell activation may shift the balance towards tumour suppression. However, for some tumour types growth promotion cannot be excluded."

- Methylene Blue
- Drug Information (IV)πΆ (contraindicated in patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency). Methylene blue is a MAO inhibitor (if you have histamine intolerance MB could make this condition worse) and therefore can interact with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and MAO inhibitors to cause serious serotonin toxicity. Impairment of histamine metabolism by monoamine oxidase inhibitors may allow the accumulation of histamine in the tissues from endogenous sources or from the intake in the diet.
- Safe dose up to 2mg MB per kilo/day (although the higher doses should be taken in divided doses and not exceed 25mg per dose). The low dosage works as an antioxidant, and the high dose pro-oxidant. Start at 100mcg to 500mcg (0,1 to 0,5mg per day) and up-titrate. The high doses (above 15mg a day) should only be used for a short period of time (e.g in a bacterial infection such as a UTI).

A similar concept applies to our present findings, in which NDUFV1 knockdown caused complex I deficiency but did not drastically inhibit OXPHOS. While not affecting cell viability, NDUFV1 knockdown significantly enhanced metastatic activity. Thus, it should be noted that strategies aimed at killing tumor cells by interfering with mitochondrial functions or NAD+ synthesis could, if not effectively lethal, inadvertently produce even more aggressive tumor cell phenotypes. Thus, in the long run, approaches aimed at normalizing mitochondrial functions, particularly complex I activity and NAD+/NADH redox levels, could be therapeutically more effective and safer and would not interfere with normal cell function." {ref}

This blog will not be liable for any losses and/or damages in connection with the use of this blog.
Supplements or herbal preparations should never be used in combination with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, or any other cancer treatment unless the safety and efficacy of such combinations are established. It's especially important to make sure anything you add to the standard treatment will further improve the efficacy of that treatment, hence the importance of discussing any addition of supplements or dietary interventions during active cancer treatment with the oncologist.
Diet and nutritional supplements cannot cure cancer and should not replace nor delay standard medical care.
Diet and nutritional supplements cannot cure cancer and should not replace nor delay standard medical care.
If you take medications always check if the supplement(s) can be combined with those drugs, especially with chemotherapy, diabetes medications, anticoagulant and antiplatelet medications (including aspirin), benzodiazepines, etc. Ask a 'Drug Interaction Specialist' Online.
Stop taking supplements 2 weeks prior to surgery, or consult with your surgeon.
To combine various supplements add one at a time, start with the lowest possible dose, and gradually increase if no side effect is observed.
