Fenbendazole and Mebendazole are drugs that many of us are hearing more and more about online. These drugs along with Albendazole, belong to a family of drugs called the Benzimidazoles which are all anti-parasitic, anti-worming medications.

Mebendazole is the only drug that has been properly tested on humans to date though. Fenbendazole is a veterinary drug and until better research is available it is not advised for use in humans.

One size does not fit all with any supplement or medication.

We are all different shapes and sizes, we have varying levels of kidney and liver function. We are all unique and have different diets, different toxicity exposures and different health histories, not to mention different genetic mutations.

Also, drugs can interact with one another, especially many drugs together at once, in a process called polypharmacy. Each individual needs to take their own personalised protocol and this needs to be done properly through professional channels, through a Naturopathic Doctor, a Medical Doctor or through another appropriate health professional.

That having been said, there is plenty of research showing us what Mebendazole does and I would love to share that with you.
