How Parasite Drugs May Fight Cancer 🔬

Could a parasite medication really fight cancer? 🧬 Recent discoveries suggest there’s more to it than coincidence. Researchers found that both parasites and cancer cells share a similar metabolic pathway — known as mitochondrial substrate-level phosphorylation.

This means drugs like fenbendazole (commonly used to kill parasites) can also target the same energy systems that cancer cells depend on to survive and grow. ⚡

While cancer isn’t a parasite, both rely heavily on glycolysis — the process that turns sugar into energy, even in low-oxygen conditions. By disrupting this pathway, antiparasitic medications may starve cancer cells of their energy source.

Even more fascinating, these effects appear stronger under nutritional ketosis, when the body switches from using sugar to using fat for fuel. 🥑

This growing field of study could reshape how we understand cancer treatment — not by targeting the tumor directly, but by cutting off its power supply. ⚡
