Fenbendazole (also known as Panacur C or Safe-Guard) is a broad-spectrum anthelmintic that is used to treat gastrointestinal parasites in dogs, cats, cattle, horses, sheep, rabbits, pigs, freshwater shrimp tanks as planaria treatment and seals. It kills roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, hydatid tapeworms of the genus Taenia and pinworms such as Aelurostrongylus and Paragonimiasis. It is also used as a cancer treatment method for humans.

Joe Tippens was a former biomedical engineer who was diagnosed with recurrent brain cancer in 2017. He heard about a scientist at Merck Animal Health that had stage 4 cancer and had been given only three months to live. She decided to try a canine drug that is also used by humans for their advanced cancers and she was completely cleared of all cancer in six weeks. Joe decided to start using the fenbendazole cancer protocol and added in other ingredients such as curcumin, CBD oil and vitamin E.

The joe tippens protocol calls for 222 mg of fenbendazole (3 days on, four days off) taken seven days a week. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that helps protect against damage from free radicals by neutralizing them. The current Joe Tippens Cancer Protocol recommends 400-800 mg of Vitamin E a day, 7 days a week.

The other key ingredient in the joe tippens protocol is full spectrum CBD oil. It is recommended to take 25 mg under the tongue 7 days a week. Joe recommends a product from Ultra Botanica in their Onco-Adjunct line. Joe makes no money from this recommendation and has no affiliation with the company. The product he is recommending is made from USDA-certified organic hemp, has no pesticides and provides current certificates of authenticity for the batch. joe tippens protocol
