Debunking Ivermectin as a

‘Miracle Treatment’ for CANCER

DEAR DR. ROACH: I was diagnosed with stage 4 high-grade ovarian cancer in September 2024. I underwent a major surgery in March after the tumor shrank. I see a top doctor at a renowned hospital, and I trust him. I went through seven rounds of chemo with three different meds. I handled it well as I am very ﬁt and 64 years old.

I am now on maintenance medications (Avastin and Lynparza). My numbers are going up. I know my prognosis isn’t good, but I try to live my best life. I have a lot of different things to look forward to (marriages, grandbabies, etc.).

I have many friends who keep suggesting ivermectin as a treatment. (These people are also anti-vaxers.) I don’t fall into this group of people as I believe in modern medicine and have trusted my doctor. So, my question is: What are your thoughts about this treatment, and what have you heard about it within the medical community? -- L.N.

Q. A.

ANSWER: I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis,but I congratulate you on your good attitude. The treatment for ovarian cancer has changed dramatically in the past few years. There are many treatments, and although they are often not able to cure cancer, they can keep cancer at bay -- sometimes for many years, even decades. Having an important life event to look forward to is important to maintaining a good attitude.

As far as ivermectin goes, there is a small possibility that it will turn out to be a useful treatment for cancer. I have read some preclinical studies that suggested some beneﬁt. However, no studies that were done on actual people have proven it to be useful for any type of cancer so far. Many promising treatments turn out to be failures after the initial clinical trials.

There are people who feel that there are hidden treatments for cancer and that there is a massive conspiracy to keep successful cancer treatments from being used. Having known many doctors and research scientists who unfortunately died from cancer themselves, I can assure you that this isn’t the case. Many scientists across the globe are working hard to ﬁnd new treatments, and every year brings incremental beneﬁts.

Ivermectin is the most recent “miracle treatment” that I have heard about. I can recall easily at least a half dozen miracle treatments in the past 20 years that haven’t turned out to be useful. Some of these are not only useless but are actively harmful. While ivermectin is generally safe when dosed appropriately for its indication of treating parasites, it can be dangerous at high doses.

I respect the use of alternative treatments to manage the symptoms that are caused by cancer treatments such as chemotherapy. However, people who rely on alternative treatments for treatment of their cancer do not do as well as people who are getting the best care that modern medicine currently has to offer.

I recommend that you thank your friends for their advice and tell them that you trust your medical team and will follow what your doctor recommends.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu. © 2025 King Features Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved

IDEAS FOR FAST AND EASY ENTERTAINING

Freshly squeeze juice. Use a sturdy pair of tongs to squeeze all of the juice out of lemons, limes and oranges for fresh juice or lemonade.

HOW TO BE MORE COURTEOUS WHILE DINING OUT

Clean up after yourself and children. If your party makes a big mess or a child gets sick or spills something, make an effort to clean up the table.

Enjoy dining out with kids

Be courteous and respectful: Many children will eventually act up in restaurants, and parents should respond to such instances as courteously as possible. Apologize to those around you whom your child has disturbed. Remove your son or daughter from the area and take a few moments to help him or her calm down. If kids can’t be calmed down, ask thatyourmealbewrapped.

Remember to clean up after yourselves and thank the waitstaff for any extra service, such as lugging a heavy high chair or providing extra silverware if kids drop any forks or spoons. Don’t leave a large mess for the server, andtipaccordingly.

HOW TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR VETERANS

Millions of people make considerable sacriﬁces to protect the freedoms of their fellow citizens. According to the Pew Research Center and data from the Department of Veterans Aﬀairs and the U.S. Census Bureau, there are currently more than 18 million living veterans in the United States.

e term “veteran” refers to a person who served in the active military, naval, air service, or space service and was discharged or released under conditions other than dishonorable. In the U.S., there are actually ﬁve types of protected veterans, according to the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974. Under VEVRAA, a veteran may be classiﬁed as a disabled veteran, recently separated veteran, active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran, or Armed Forces service medal veteran.

Veterans deserve respect and admiration all year long, but also get their own holiday each November. Veterans Day celebrates veterans’ patriotism and willingness to sacriﬁce and serve. is Veterans Day, people can consider these eight unique ways to honor the veterans in their community.

Attend events: Organize or participate in local Veterans Day celebrations, such as parades and ceremonial events.

Get involved with veterans’ aﬀairs: Support veterans by volunteering with organizations that assist them, such as the VA, local veteran’s groups, VA hospitals, or charities dedicated to veteran services.

Petition for veteran speakers: Reach out to schools, scout troops or other groups and arrange opportunities for veterans to share their stories and contributions. Learning about the sacriﬁces these men and women made can heighten individuals’ appreciation for veterans.

Support the families of veterans: Reach out to veterans’ families, who also must make sacriﬁces and concessions. Anything from shopping, babysitting, doing chores, or making a meal can help the families of veterans.

Make a donation: If finances allow, make contributions to reputable charities that provide services for veterans like those that offer mental health counseling or job placement services. If there isn’t a charity that fits with your vision, begin one.

Hire veterans to work: If you are a business owner or hiring manager, consider hiring veterans for open positions at your company. It can be challenging to reenter the workforce a er service, so make it known that your ﬁrm welcomes veterans.

Oﬀer personal acknowledgements: Take the time to speak to veterans and thank them for their service. If possible, when dining out, ask the server if you can pay for the meal of a veteran who also is dining that day.

Don’t forget the fallen veterans: Although Memorial Day is designed to honor those who lost their lives through military service, people still can honor the fallen veterans on Veterans Day by sharing stories or placing ﬂags at veteran cemeteries.

Contrary to popular belief, cats can be trained. Although they’re not likely to be as motivated by praise as dogs, cats can respond to food treatsparticularly something soft and smelly. However, that may take some practice as, according to Petﬁnder, cats are less instinctively driven to work in partnership with humans. But those tasty treats may inspire them to stay and come and even use a toilet in lieu of a litter box.

“Haven’t been to a dentist in a very long time! Never once felt any judgement. I met 5 different people that worked there and would recommend to anyone! The most happy, friendly, professional people I have ever met! Anyone out there that hates dentists or fears mouth pain, needs to call Dr. Garcia and his incredible staff!” – Michael “Keep Smiling”

Keep dogs warm in the winter chill

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My little Sheltie, “Gabriel,” loves going for walks outside, but he starts shivering after about ﬁve to 10 minutes and we have to turn around and go home. He’s really active, so I don’t understand why he can’t stay warm. Can you help? -- Joseph in Grand Rapids, Michigan

DEAR JOSEPH: Little dogs are bundles of energy, but that’s often not enough to defeat Mother Nature and stay warm outside when the cold winds of winter are blowing.

Dogs regulate their temperature through their skin, and they tend to lose a lot of heat this way. That’s great in the summer when they need to cool off, but a handicap for many breeds in the winter. Huskies and other large dogs with double-thick coats and lots of energy can stand bitter cold better than smaller dogs with single coats. And, as PetMD puts it, small dogs have a lower surface area to volume ratio than big dogs. Internally, they don’t hold onto heat as well. So they get cold much faster.

A cold injury can be quite serious for dogs of any size, so prevention is essential. Once the temperature drops below 60 degrees,your dog should be wearing a sweater on outside walks. If it’s windy or rainy, a water-resistant shell is best. Booties will protect a small dog’s paws from cold sidewalks, and later, as winter closes in, from ice, salt crystals and snow.

And don’t think that big dogs are off the hook! Owners of larger dogs need to put them into a sweater or coat and booties during the winter, too. Remember, their paws are making contact with the cold pavement and they’re losing heat steadily, just like small dogs

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel

* On Nov. 12, 1864, Union Gen. William T. Sherman orders the business district of Atlanta destroyed before he embarks on his famous March to the Sea. Nearly 40% of the city was left in ruin.

I cherish the loneliness of autumn.... I am forty, I have become mortal. I have no further psychic, emotional, or intellectual need to prolong summer seasons, and it is only when autumn begins its play that I can truly focus on therichandvitallifeIamliving.All of a sudden I grow alert. October is a hallelujah! reverberating in my body year-round.... The air is dusty,itsmellsofdrypineneedles; yet I sense imminent ice in the clear blue sky.... How I appreciate everything…fully! After all, tomorrow this reprieve will be buried by blizzards, crushed under slabs of doomsday ice. I cannot waste a minute indoors! I must take advantage of this gift, wedged so tentatively between summer’s hectic somnolence and winter’s harsh apogee.... Each perfect day, I know, is going to be the last beautiful day of autumn.

ANTI-BULLYING

HOW TO OBSERVE ANTI-BULLYING WEEK WEEK

Bullying affects education

Almost 160,000 teenagers have skipped school because of bullying.

Reporting is an issue

Older students are less likely to report bullying incidents, which is why it's so essential for others to intervene on their behalf.

Wearing odd socks symbolizes our differences. It's a subtle way to say that people should be themselves and that we should accept one another by celebrating our differences.

Stepping in makes a difference

57% of bullying situations stop when peers intervene on behalf of the bullied student.

Calling it out

Labeling incidents as bullying inﬂuences whether students tell an adult and how the adult will respond to the incident.

Kindness Drive By

Today my husband sent me a photo of a very kind stranger who stopped in front of our house (Scottsville) to leaf blow an enormous amount of leaves for us. Thank you kind sir for your kindness and generosity! A reminder that in today’s crazy world, yes there are still people who take the time to brighten a stranger’s day!

Wanda’s Restaurant

Many thanks to Wanda and her staff for all the great food and good service over the years! How many places pass out free Christmas cookies to their patrons!? Always a great place to meet and eat. Wishing her all the best! A thankful customer!

A ank You From e Leisings

On October 1st, 2025, Sharon’s husband and puppy were involved in a car accident in Byron. Everyone involved in the accident was unharmed, thankfully, and the Leising’s wanted to extend their upmost gratitude for everyone who stopped to help. Also, a big thank you to people who helped ﬁnd Lucy (puppy) after the accident. Thank you to the community and everyone involved for all the help and kindness!

The Leisings

On Solar Farms

Someone else here talked about them being upset about the solar farms popping up, and I have something to say in regards to that. Do you know where we have plenty of open space that wouldn’t look any worse if we put a solar farm there? The air space above cars in huge store parking lots. It would conserve space and not take up extra land that could be used in so many better ways. Be mad that our legislators and local governments won’t do that instead of insisting people say no to solar. They’re doing what’s easiest for them and not what’s best for our community and the integration of solar into it.

Why Is is Acceptable Now?

It’s honestly frustrating to see the double standards that still exist—especially when it comes from people who are supposed to set an example. There’s a school board member in our district who freely posts politically charged and borderline unacceptable comments on social media. And yet... nothing. No consequences. No accountability. What happened to professionalism? What happened to representing all students and families, regardless of political background? In the past, others have been ostracized or pushed out for expressing their views—even when they were respectful and constructive. But now, because it’s someone in power, we’re just supposed to look the other way?

A Halloween Season Tradition Returns After Several Years

BY GARY THOMAS & SUZIE WELLS

e BUM Players of Brockport have returned with what was once an annual event: their audience-participation “whodunit” murder mystery. Kupkake Karnage, cowritten by Mari Miceli and Turk omas, oﬀers an evening of fun and intrigue, as in years past. Proceeds from the show beneﬁt the Kiwanis Club of Brockport and its many charitable programs.

is has always been an event looked forward to with much anticipation by followers of the BUM Players. It was a Brockport tradition for about 20 years, growing out of the now-defunct Seymour Library series once performed by the also defunct Brockport Community Players. All but one of the mysteries in that long-running series were written by a member of the BUM Players, with the majority penned by omas.

Following the COVID pandemic, the troupe made its comeback with Homicide for the Homeless in autumn 2021. But as they prepared to present Kupkake Karnage the following year, several longtime cast members withdrew, forcing the group to cancel for the ﬁrst time. Subsequent years brought similar challenges, with new recruits dropping out. omas says, “ is year, we resorted to placing a paid ad seeking actors in the Pennysaver, which proved very fruitful, allowing us to ﬁnally produce this show.”

Abriefsynopsisof KupkakeKarnage: echaracters,who all work for or are connected to K&K Kupkake Kakery & Kafé, gather for the announcement of the winner of the prestigious county-wide Cupcake Challenge Bake-Oﬀ. Because of the use of a special secret ingredient, K&K cannot keep up with demand for their cupcakes. Hoping to win a top-of-the-line Blodgett DFG-100 Bakery Oven to expand production, the Kupkake sisters enter the competition, but the awards ceremony takes a dark turn with a murder. It’s up to the “amateur sleuths” in the audience to solve the case.

With its blend of veteran talent, fresh faces, and a tradition oflaughterandmystery,theBUMPlayers’latestproduction promises to bring back the spirit of community theater that has deﬁned Brockport’s Halloween season for decades. Behind the Scenes with the BUM Players

e BUM Players’ founder and leader, Turk omas, established the group in 1990 a er studying eater Arts at SUNY Brockport. With nearly 60 years of experience in both community and professional theater, omas has guided the troupe through countless productions. In addition to their murder mysteries, the BUM Players have presented an annual full-length comedy each spring since 1997. When the group grew dissatisﬁed with purchased scripts, omas began writing their own comedies in 2017.

“I am extremely proud of the BUM Players and their work over the years,” omas says. “Despite a low budget and small space, we have built sets that rival any larger groups’ eﬀorts. And the acting and technical expertise are always top-notch. I am somewhat discouraged by the inability to attract new blood. As our core ages out, it seems nearly impossible to attract younger folks to carry on the torch. It’s sad to think that the BUM Players may be no more in the not-too-distant future. But until then, we’ll keep cranking out high quality products as long as we can.”

Mari Miceli, co-writer of Kupkake Karnage, has been with the BUM Players for over a decade. She says, “Having no

actual acting training or experience, it was a leap into the unknown for me, but a great experience. Besides acting, I have tried my hand at directing a couple of our spring comedies. We have so much fun in rehearsals we are certain it will translate over to the audience! We consider ourselves just a group of ‘oldies but goodies’! And we are always looking for new talent of any age!”

Among returning members is Bernadette Sage, who last appeared in the 2014 mystery Fallen Rock Zone. Recently retired, she now has more time to devote to community theater and says, “ ese shows are a very entertaining, aﬀordable, and wonderful community experience. I am so happy to be part of this fun event and hope to be in many more of these productions.”

Newcomer Peter Connell responded to the ad for actors. Having retired from federal service, he wanted to return to something he loved in his younger years, saying, “ ey are one of the best, if not the best, player groups with whom I have been involved. ey are professional, friendly, dedicated, and just a fun group. I hope I can rise to the standard they’ve set for quality performances in the community.”

e troupe’s most senior member, Charles “Chuck” Edwards, 83, has been an invaluable part of the troupe for over 20 years, acting in a wide range of roles and contributing behind the scenes, now preparing crime scene photos and PowerPoint for Kupkake Karnage.

e group also thanks longtime members Steve Richardson, “technical wizard and jack-of-all-trades” who helps keep productions running smoothly, and Paul Kimball, one of the original members from the Seymour Library days who continues to help with acting and technical work.

The Senior Stretch

Stretching regularly can help alleviate pain, protect joints, prevent injury and maintain mobility as we age. Incorpora ng stretching sessions into your daily or weekly rou ne is a simple and eﬀec ve way to enhance your health and well-being; a er all, you can do it anywhere, any me, without the need for any equipment. Here are a few ps to help seniors – or anyone – stretch safely:

• Warm up your muscles before stretching by walking or moving around for at least ﬁve minutes.

• Stretch gently and slowly, taking in a deep breath and exhaling as you stretch.

• Hold stretches for about 30 seconds, allowing muscles me to relax.

• Avoid bouncing while stretching, and never stretch to the point of pain.

Science-Backed Beneﬁts of Strength Training 5

Experts generally recommend 20 to 30 minutes of strength training two or three mes per week.

Here’s why:

Preserve and build muscle.

Muscle mass diminishes with age, increasing your body fat percentage. Strength training can help turn the tables and keep body fat in check.

Strengthen bones.

Strength training increases bone density and reduces the risk of fractures and osteoporosis.

Manage weight.

Increasing your metabolism and muscle with weights helps you burn calories more eﬃciently.

Maintain ﬂexibility and balance.

Weight-bearing exercise can protect your joints from injury and reduce symptoms of arthri s, while also lowering your risk of falls by improving balance.

Enhance mood and quality of life.

Strength training can help reduce symptoms of many chronic condi ons like depression, back pain, heart disease and diabetes. Research also suggests that exercise may help support cogni ve func on in older adults.

SENIOR NEWS LINE

By Matilda Charles

Finding Food

I recently learned a few things about my local food bank that I didn’t know. Maybe your food bank has these services as well.

The local food bank has a mobile pantry that goes to the senior housing building once a month for seniors who can’t get out to the regular weekly location. While they don’t carry a large variety on the van, they do have some of most everything, including canned and boxed foods, coffee and tea, some meats in a small freezer, dairy and bread.

They’ve just started home delivery in the area, right in time for winter. For this a senior needs to sign up in advance and have their doctor sign a form saying yes,they could beneﬁt from having food delivered instead of having to go out on icy roads to make a pickup. The sign-up form also has a place to list any allergies and preferences, so the box of food is a bit customized.

Our local food bank isn’t the only one in the area. Churches and towns sometimes have their own. See www.gsfb.org/food-map and put in your ZIP code for locations near you. In my area I discovered six additional food bank locations I knew nothing about.

Look into the senior food box program. Once a month participants in the program have a box of food delivered. Find contact and income eligibility information by doing an internet search for the Commodity Supplemental Food Program in your state.

Then there is Meals on Wheels, where prepared food is delivered to seniors who have trouble cooking for themselves. They often have low sodium and diabetic meal options. Depending on your location, there might be a small fee for the meals.

If you need food, don’t give up. It’s out there and you can ﬁnd it. There are more food sources than you might imagine.

HOW TO BUILD YOUR HOME BAR

Stock up on equipment

A new home bar requires barware and glassware. Various drinks are best served in requisite glassware and prepared with the right equipment. A home bar will beneﬁt from a muddler, jigger, cocktail shaker, strainer, ice cube trays, and bar spoon. Glassware can include short glasses, tall glasses and wine glasses with stems. Martini glasses provide a chic look and are practical for those who prefer cosmopolitans and martinis.

MASONRY & BASEMENT

My favorite socks are ones with a print on them!

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT FALL

Squirrels have a (sophisticated) plan out there. Squirrels hiding food in autumn for the upcoming winter is a familiar sight. And squirrels are more organized than many people may know. Groundbreaking research released in 1991 found that, even when squirrels bury that stash of nuts closely to one another, they will each return to the precise location of their personal cache. Recent research also has shown that squirrels bury their stash based on certain traits, such as the type of

being buried.

By Terry A. Reiﬀ

Have you ever sailed on a Viking ship, far into outer space? Or ran for miles and miles never leaving your starting place? ese things I have done and took no scheming For anything can happen when you’re sound asleep and dreaming.

~Nathaniel Hawthorne, 10th October 1842
