EP#162 Flying Flags, Ivermectin, Prostate Cancer, TIA's.
This episode covers symbolic health narratives (e.g. flag-flying behaviors), the debate around Ivermectin, and clinical insights into prostate cancer and transient ischemic attacks (TIAs). We emphasize early detection, risk awareness, and evidence-based evaluation.
🧠 EP#162 | Ivermectin, Cancer, and the Fight to Own Your Health

✅ You must become your own Primary Care Protector™
✅ TIA and Sepsis awareness can save lives—know the signs
📖 In This Episode
This episode starts with a laugh but shifts quickly into one of the most important health discussions of the year. Ray shares a clip from the viral “Date Right Stuff” guy about how the American flag has been politicized—setting the tone for a conversation about how even medicine is now polarized.
He then pivots into a powerful interview featuring Dr. Kathleen Ruddy, a highly credentialed cancer surgeon who shares her shocking insights on ivermectin—a cheap anti-parasitic drug that has shown potential for cancer, COVID, and long COVID. What begins as an exploration of a controversial treatment becomes a deeper commentary on the state of modern medicine, patient agency, and medical censorship.
Two cases are highlighted:
A government worker with stage 4 prostate cancer and no options left who enters biochemical remission after self-administering ivermectin
A fisherman with esophageal tumors and no treatment plan who sees his tumors completely vanish after taking ivermectin on his own terms
Ray also covers the under-discussed topic of TIAs (mini-strokes), referencing a personal story about his mother to help listeners understand how to recognize symptoms and act quickly. The episode closes with a reminder that sepsis—often silent but deadly—requires urgent awareness.
🛠️ Practical Tips to Implement
If you or a loved one is diagnosed with advanced cancer, explore all treatment options—even those outside the mainstream
Recognize TIA symptoms: confusion, slurred speech, vision issues, and sudden weakness
Track your PSA levels if you're over 40 or at risk for prostate cancer
Never accept “there’s nothing we can do” as the final answer—get a second opinion

🔬 Research Spotlight
A 2023 paper in Frontiers in Pharmacology analyzed over 20 years of data and concluded that ivermectin exhibits anti-tumor activity in various types of cancer by modulating cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, and inflammation. Yet, despite promising preclinical data, clinical trials remain scarce—likely due to low profitability.
❓ FAQ
Q: Isn’t ivermectin just a horse dewormer?
A: That’s the narrative—but it’s misleading. Ivermectin has been FDA-approved for human use since the 1980s, treating parasitic infections like river blindness, scabies, and lice. Its rep took a hit during COVID-19, but many physicians still believe in its broader therapeutic potential.
Q: What’s a TIA and why should I care?
A: A TIA (transient ischemic attack) is a mini-stroke—short-lived but serious. It’s a red flag for future strokes. Symptoms include sudden confusion, slurred speech, facial drooping, and temporary memory loss. Know the signs and act fast.
Q: What should I do if my doctor says there are no more options?
A: Don’t accept it blindly. Seek alternative opinions, explore off-label therapies, and—most importantly—become your own health advocate. Ray’s motto: “You’re your own Primary Care Protector™.”
💭 Final Thought
Your life. Your body. Your decision. Don’t let the system define your limits—fight smarter, not just harder.
