Chemo is supposed to kill cancer. That’s the whole point, right? But a jaw-dropping new study says it might be doing the exact opposite—waking up “sleeping” cancer cells and jumpstarting deadly relapses, especially in the lungs.

We’ve all been told for decades that chemo is the best, most aggressive way to treat cancer. But what if the same treatment that shrinks tumors also reactivates hidden cancer cells… the ones that were lying dormant, waiting? And worse, what if Big Pharma has known this for years and done absolutely nothing?

According to a new write-up by Nicholas Hulscher over on Dr. Peter McCullough’s Substack, chemo might be doing more harm than we thought. A shocking new study published in Cancer Cell found that common cancer drugs like doxorubicin and cisplatin aren’t just shrinking tumors; they’re waking up “dormant” cancer cells that were hiding out in the body, setting the stage for aggressive, often deadly relapses later on, as we said earlier, especially in the lungs. These sleeping cells are called DTCs and can lie low for years. And for the first time ever, researchers say they’ve proven that chemo itself can flip the switch and bring them back to life.

Here are the five key takeaways from the study:

1. Chemotherapy Reactivates Dormant Cancer Cells

Using a tool called DormTracer, researchers found that chemo-treated mice had a spike in dormant cancer cells suddenly reactivating and re-entering the cell cycle.

These reawakened cells went on to form aggressive lung metastases just weeks after treatment—even when the primary tumor was completely gone.

The kicker? Chemo still worked against active tumors, but it unintentionally woke up the sleeping ones.

2. Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs) Are the Trigger

Chemo didn’t just target cancer—it also caused fibroblasts in the lungs to enter a state of senescence (basically, biological aging).

These senescent cells sent out inflammatory signals that activated neutrophils (a type of white blood cell).

The neutrophils responded by forming NETs, sticky DNA-and-enzyme webs, that reshaped the lung environment and directly triggered dormant cancer cells to switch back on.

3. SASP Proteins (C3, MIF, CXCL1) Drive the Chain Reaction

Senescent fibroblasts unleashed a toxic mix called SASP (senescence-associated secretory phenotype).

Three key proteins, Complement C3, MIF, and CXCL1, were flagged as the main drivers behind NET formation.
Mice that were engineered to lack C3 had far less NET activity and lower rates of cancer relapse after chemo.

4. Blocking NETs or Clearing Senescent Cells Stops Relapse

Two interventions worked like a charm: DNase I (which dissolves NETs) and GSK484 (a drug that blocks NET formation) both completely prevented chemo-triggered metastasis in mice.

Another option, a senolytic combo of Dasatinib and Quercetin, wiped out the senescent fibroblasts entirely and shut down the whole relapse cycle.

And this didn’t interfere with chemo’s original goal—shrinking the primary tumor.

5. The Same Pattern Showed Up in Humans

In breast cancer patients, lung metastases showed increased NET density and elevated levels of C3, MIF, and CXCL1 post-chemo. Blood tests confirmed C3 and MIF spiked after treatment—especially in patients who later suffered lung relapses.

These markers could soon be used to predict future relapse risk before it happens.

So What’s the Bottom Line?

This study flips everything we’ve been told about chemo on its head. Sure, it shrinks tumors. But it might also be activating hidden cancer cells and fueling the next relapse.

And while researchers suggest pairing chemo with NET-blockers or senolytics to reduce that risk… maybe the real question is, why are we still relying on treatments that destroy the whole body to “cure” one disease?

A Promising New Direction: Ivermectin + Mebendazole

This latest research should’ve sparked a wildfire in the cancer world. But of course, it didn’t. Why? Well, because chemotherapy is a billion-dollar business, and Big Pharma isn’t about to let go of that revenue stream.

Thankfully, independent voices like Dr. Peter McCullough are pushing forward with safer, low-cost alternatives.

A new systematic review just published in Acta Poloniae Pharmaceutica found that Ivermectin , yes, the drug they mocked during COVID, may actually hold real promise in the fight against cancer. But they probably already knew that…

“Based on the most comprehensive systematic review of ivermectin use in cancer patients to date, ivermectin appears to be safe, even in individuals undergoing active chemotherapy. Its broad range of anticancer mechanisms demonstrated in preclinical models, combined with anecdotal reports of cancer-related improvements, support its candidacy for repurposing as an oncologic therapy.”

Even more promising is that pairing Ivermectin with another trusted anti-parasitic, Mebendazole, has shown powerful results in targeting aggressive cancers without the toxic aftermath of traditional chemo.
