When Captain Kevin Hennings, Florida Keys Fishing Guide to the Stars, contracted Stage 4 Colon Cancer, his world collapsed.
He tells his story to comedian Jim Breuer between fits of laughter about how he went from a televised celebrity to a dying patient, and how he now has become a better person for it.
Following his diagnosis in 2019, he abruptly closed his Florida Keys Fishing Business, and entered the Veteran’s Hospital System for treatment. Having served in the US Marines, Hennings was no stranger to life-threatening situations, although this time the danger came from within. He suffered from a 15 cm colon carcinoma that had spread throughout his body.
He shared the dire news with his wife and family, and they supported his decision to undergo the conventional treatments of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. While the official 5-year survival rates are around 13%, Kevin fought the cancer like he would fight a military opponent - to beat it.
Unfortunately, sometime in September of 2021, despite three years of grueling chemotherapy, his medical team informed him that he was going to lose the battle. They told him to begin hospice and prepare for the worst, as they had no further treatment options.
Kevin tells Breuer that after that news, he checked out of the hospital and headed home. He recalled driving down Florida’s I-75 when he felt himself losing hope. He called his two sisters, one a Nurse Practitioner, and the other a Bible-Studying Spiritualist. He spoke to both on a three-way call.
His medically trained sister broke down crying when given the news, while his other sister remained calm, and insisted that he needed a plan, a strategy for moving forward.
Kevin asked her what she suggested [39:09].
His spiritual sister explained that an acquaintance from church had a friend with Stage 4 colon cancer who had opted out of chemotherapy. Instead, he took Fenbendazole, an antiparasitic agent. And she explained, he fully recovered.
Kevin admits that his first reaction was disbelief, which quickly turned to ridicule and laughter. His medical sister joined him.
“Oh, me and my other sister, the nurse that was on 3-way, we laughed at her - oh we laughed! She’s crazy; she’s a nut. She’s an absolute crazy person, right? She just told me to go take horse dewormer [42:13].”
He continued, “She’s not in a church. She’s in a cult. And everybody’s taking dog dewormer and horse medicine and this and that [42:23].”
“So we’re laughing at my sister, still plugging south on I-75. I’m on 3-way. Disney sister says try this dog dewormer hahaha. And me and my other sister are laughing and laughing and laughing - because she’s crazy [43:00].”
After he hung up, the reality hit. He started to process what she had just said. His boisterous laughter turned to silent reflection. With the utmost seriousness, Kevin describes hearing nothing but the sound of the road as he faced death.
“Then we get off the phone and the radio is off. And all I hear is just the sound of rubber on the road just running south. And my thoughts are by myself [43:09]. And I’m crying man. And I don’t know what I mean because I’m in front of other people. I’m a Marine. I’m an [—] ing Warrior. It’s time. Let’s go, right? But I just met with the social worker that was setting hospice up for me. And there’s never been a moment that was more real, and I didn’t know what to do [43:43].”
He immediately called his sister back for help.
“So, I called my sister back - Disney. I called her back. And I said, ‘Hey Shelly, you got the number to that guy?’ I was choking back the tears just to call her [43:57]. I couldn’t even see the road in front of me - my eyes are like yours you know [pointing to Jim Breuer].”
He explained to Breuer what he was feeling at that turning point in his life.
“I was a mess - I said, ‘You got that guy’s phone number?’ Because the shit got real. You know, all the fun and games, the laughing - you’re crazy, haha - but then the silence set in and I’m still going south, and it was like another 30 or 40 miles I passed. And I have to still deal with hospice when I get home [44:25].”
He realized that his spiritual sister was right. He needed a plan.
“Hey Shelly, you still got that number? She gave me the guy’s phone number, and I called him right then. Right then I call him. Mile markers are flipping on I-75. And I call him. And the guy’s name is Brent. And I say, ‘Hey, you don’t know me man. But my name is Kevin, and I just got sent home to die. And I would really love to talk to you about what you did to avoid that [45:00]’.”
However, to Kevin’s surprise, Brent was hammering on a roof under the hot Florida sun and had to call him back after work. Brent answered, “I’m on a roof right now and I can’t hear. Can I give you a call back?”
Immediately, Kevin realized the story was true. Not only was Brent cancer free, but he was healthy enough to roof under the blazing September Florida Sun.
Kevin recalls his elation. “I can’t even steer my truck. I’m so weak. This guy’s swinging a hammer on a roof laying cement concrete or whatever.”
Kevin pleaded, “I said, please, please call me man, please. And sure enough, by the time I reached the bridge to Marco Island, he called.”
Brent called and said, “Listen, take it if you want. Don’t take it if you don’t want. But here’s some resources.”
Kevin explains that he received enough information to find all the necessary tools he needed concerning the Fenbendazole protocol. Kevin took a combination of 5 drugs/supplements. He describes it as a Fenbendazole-based cocktail.
Dr. Marik writes extensively about Repurposed Drugs in his book, Cancer Care, and I discuss various Repurposed Drug Cocktails in my book, Surviving Cancer, COVID-19 and Disease: The Repurposed Drug Revolution. Kevin’s cocktail consisted of Fenbendazole paste, Curcumin, Vitamin E, Medicinal Mushrooms, and Cimetidine.
Within 6 weeks, a scan showed his terminal cancer - the one that was supposed to kill him within a few weeks - had shrunk by 50%, and by 14 weeks another scan revealed it to be completely resolved. Within three- and one-half months, Kevin was cancer free, just like Brent.
“[47:00] That day, he handed me that stuff, September 2nd, 2021. I started taking it that day. I started taking it blindly off of faith because I saw God’s plan unfold in front of me, and my decision was made. I didn’t do any more digging.”
And now I must speak up. As a physician with over 40 years of clinical practice and teaching, and now from the perspective of a writer, allow me to connect with you, my readers and fellow human beings. Over the past four years, I have come to understand three things in vivid clarity.
The first is that we have been lied to by Big Pharma. As I said in the dedication to my book, I was angry about the deception and angry at the system. That system had misled me in my medical education, and it had misled my father with his pancreatic cancer’s toxic treatment, as it had to so many of my dear friends and patients. And it continues to steamroll along.
The second is that repurposed drugs and supplements are not just a useful addition to standard treatments for cancer, but they in many cases - especially late stage and Turbo Cancers - may be far superior to standard care.
The third and most important thing I learned is this. Prayer is powerful. Faith is powerful and in some cases is the deciding factor. And that is precisely what Kevin found.
“You know I don’t have time to be educated. But I have time to be faithful. I have time to have faith [47:40].”
Kevin explains what happened after he took this leap of faith.
“[47:48] So I took this leap of faith. I started doing it on September 2nd, 2021. Six weeks later I still had a scan on the books [scheduled at Moffett] and I’m starting to eat, starting to gain some weight - I’m starting to actually hold some weight.”
He went on to explain that previously he could not venture far away from bathrooms due to his urgent bowel issues. However, that all changed with taking the Fenbendazole cocktail.
“I was regulated. I was actually able to leave the house, like I wasn’t a slave to plumbing anymore [49:07].”
Following the first scan, six weeks later, after the medical establishment had told him to go home, hire hospice and prepare to die, the scan showed ‘50% less disease’. They took the credit and explained it was ‘due to residual effects from the chemotherapy [49:20]’. Kevin added that they warned him the cancer was bound to return anyway.
“So eight more weeks I have another scan. ‘No evidence of disease’ [49:58].”
The host, Jim Breuer broke in and asked what exactly he was taking.
