Myxozoa: Cancer as a devolved parasite
-
I learned recently about myxozoa, a type of parasite that infects fish. At first scientists thought they were a type of amoeba or fungus, but their DNA reveals they are most closely related to jellyfish.
Their unique difference is that their cells contain no mitochondria. In fact, they are the only known animal species to lack mitochondria, implying they must have had them in the past, and at some point they atrophied and eventually were totally lost.
The leading theory on how they evolved is called SCANDAL: Speciation by Cancer Development in Animals. The theory is these parasites did not evolve from jellyfish themselves, but from cancerous tumors on jellyfish, which split off and developed the ability to parasitize other organisms.
Ray Peat and others in the bioenergetic space have spoken about how, via the Warburg Effect, cancerous tumors represent a "devolution" to a lower form of pre-mitochondrial life based on glycolysis, which can only grow unchecked without differentiation like bacterial colonies, and which must be parasitic to the organism by nature. I think the existence of myxozoa, as obligate parasites devolved from animal life with atrophied mitochondria, represents an interesting confirmation of this theory.
This also suggests that pathogens can be produced from higher lifeforms by degenerative processes, which seems to support Peat's idea that viruses are exosomes produced by lifeforms under stress.

@herayclitus Fenbendazole is an anti-parasitic drug that some are claiming cured their advanced cancer.
How It Works
The Nature article, as well as numerous other studies on PubMed, outline 3 main pathways by which FenBen attacks cancer cells:FenBen destabilizes the cancer cell’s microtubules, which are key components in a cell’s cytoskeleton. When the microtubules are compromised, this inhibits cancer cell division, movement, and transportation of materials in and out of the cell.
FenBen interferes with the cancer cell’s uptake of glucose. Because cancer cells grow so rapidly, they need copious amounts of sugar. This is why fasting and a zero-carb diet can enhance other treatments.
FenBen induces apoptosis (programmed cell death) through the activation of P53. A healthy cell is programmed to divide only a specified amount of times and then die. This programmed cell death, called apoptosis, is turned off in cancer cells causing them to multiply indefinitely. FenBen reactivates apoptosis in cancer cells by activating the programmed-cell-death gene called P53.https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-30158-6
Joe says in this that the number of patients he personally knows of who have cured their cancer by taking FenBen (fenbendazole )is now in the thousands.

Ivermectin is also an anthelmintic drug and has been approved for use in humans since 1996. In 2015, it won the Nobel Prize in medicine for curing malaria in humans.

Why did you put this in the junkyard @herayclitus?
