Who is Dr. William Makis?
Dr. William Makis is a Canadian radiologist and oncologist. He gained significant public attention during the COVID-19 pandemic for his strong advocacy of using ivermectin and other repurposed drugs to treat and prevent COVID-19. Following this, he has extended his focus to cancer treatment, proposing a controversial protocol centered on ivermectin.
Dr. Makis’s Core Hypothesis
Dr. Makis’s protocol is built on a central, and highly debated, hypothesis: that a significant driver of cancer is latent or chronic infections. He proposes that pathogens like viruses, bacteria, and fungi can “hide” in cancer cells, suppressing the immune system’s ability to fight the cancer and contributing to tumor growth.
He believes that ivermectin, which has known anti-parasitic, and in some lab settings, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties, can target these hidden infections. By eliminating the infections, the theory goes, the immune system is “unleashed” to recognize and attack the cancer cells effectively.
Key Components of the Makis Cancer Protocol
His recommendations are not a single drug but a combination approach. It’s crucial to understand that this is a theoretical protocol promoted outside the established standards of cancer care (like chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy) and is not approved by any major health authority (FDA, Health Canada, etc.).
