Casey DeSantis did not suggest horse wormer as a cancer treatment, but don't let the facts get in the way ... .. Honestly do any of you bother to fact check a headline, or do you just react like mindless sheep?

Big Pharma doesn't fund research into innovative treatments they can't patent and profit from. Many promising "off label" therapies for various illnesses have been discovered accidentally, but funding for more research is lacking when patents are expired. The Florida Cancer Innovation Program has dedicated funding to study generic drugs that may be useful in cancer treatment. Ivermectin is just one example of a medication that has shown results that warrant further study.

Casey DeSantis supports funding this research. She has never suggested people horse wormer.

#16 Nice try, why not directly quote Ms. Desantis? Phrases like " Suggested", "pointed to" are clues that she didn't actually SAY those things. The article was entirely paraphrased with insertions of unrelated context for effect.

I appreciate the sentiment, but "just because Miranda was wrong here"? Specifically what was I wrong about?

Lampy, you cherry picked one line....here are a few more (from your link).

"These competitive grants are open to a wide range of institutions and researchers, with a focus on preventative nutrition as well as emerging medical treatment options for cancer patients"

"Florida Cancer Innovation Fund projects have already demonstrated the program's impact, with grants supporting new monitoring technology for early disease detection, clinical trial expansion in rural areas, and data-driven precision medicine platforms."

"Applications will be evaluated based on scientific merit, innovation potential, collaborative strength, and ability to improve patient outcomes for all Floridians. Priority will be given to translational research, 12-month clinical trials, direct interventions with measurable outcomes, and projects serving rural and medically underserved areas throughout Florida."

"The event provided a platform for experts in cutting-edge cancer prevention research to explore innovative approaches to reducing cancer risk through nutrition and food regulation reform, highlighting the intersection of science, policy, and prevention."

"Further, priority will be given to projects that focus on nutrition, and the repurposing of generic drugs such as ivermectin for cancer treatment.

"Collaborative projects that bring together oncologists, researchers, and cancer treatment centers to break down traditional silos and foster rapid advancements in cancer care are also prioritized."

Do you have a problem with any of that? Or just the ivermectin part? Did you read the study I linked?

And you missed this part, "innovative approaches to reducing cancer risk through nutrition and food regulation reform, highlighting the intersection of science, policy, and prevention"

See link below about "food regulation reform". Europe bans many food additives that US allows. California and New York are proactive in this regard, but when Florida steps up people have a problem with it?

#27 You have just proven my point. Please take a moment and READ the sources you cite. In their systematic reviews, BOTH Current Oncology Reports and Acta Pharmaceutical cite the NEED for increased research and human trials.
