A tapeworm can produce 50,000 eggs per day, a rate made possible by tubulin-based rapid-division scaffolding. Both cancer cells and parasites depend on an internal tubulin protein scaffold that is essential for rapid cell division. Antiparasitic drugs remove cancer cells' molecular immune-evasion disguise, restoring the immune system's ability to recognize and destroy them. Cancer cells and parasites both disable apoptosis and display surface molecular signals that instruct immune cells not to attack them. Multiple antiparasitic compounds — ivermectin, wormwood, black walnut hull, and clove — act on the same tubulin scaffolding system as fenbendazole.
