REPORT: A declassified CIA document suggests a potential cure for cancer may have been hidden from the public for more than 60 years.
The discovery is fueling a disturbing question: if this research showed promise in the early 1950s, why did it remain locked away in intelligence archives for decades?
The document, written in February 1951 and later declassified in 2014, summarizes a Soviet scientific paper examining striking biochemical similarities between parasitic worms and cancerous tumors. Researchers reported that both thrived under similar metabolic conditions, surviving in low-oxygen environments and storing large reserves of glycogen.
The report also described experiments showing certain anti-parasitic compounds appeared to affect tumors. One drug, Myracyl D, already used to treat bilharzia parasites, reportedly showed activity against malignant growths as well.
The findings didn’t claim cancer is caused by parasites. But they raised a provocative possibility: drugs developed to kill parasites might also disrupt tumor growth.
Today, some physicians are revisiting that idea.
Dr. William Makis, who treats cancer patients with repurposed medications such as ivermectin and related compounds, says he has worked with thousands of patients using these experimental treatment protocols.
Makis believes the potential of these drugs has been underestimated for years.
“Cancer is no longer a death sentence.”
So why did research like this sit in the shadows for so long?
