Mel Gibson sparked curiosity with a controversial cure for cancer 

After previously appearing on Joe Rogan’s podcast in 2018 and reflecting on his father’s stem cell cure, Mel Gibson once again paid a visit to The Joe Rogan Experience, in 2025. Yet again speaking on a series of intriguing claims about unconventional medical treatments, the actor and director Gibson set social media ablaze with his stories. 

Speaking with the podcast host Joe Rogan on medical advancements and controversial treatments, Mel Gibson shared a story about three of his friends, who were diagnosed with stage four cancer. Although the actor refrained from naming the individuals, he mentioned how they all achieved full recovery through alternative treatments. 

Gibson said, 

I have three friends. All three of them had stage four cancer. All three of them don’t have cancer right now at all. And they had some serious stuff going on. 

Rogan asked, 

What did they take? 

Gibson replied, 

They took some… what you heard they’ve taken. 

Rogan replied,

Ivermectin, Fenbendazole.

Emphasizing that when conventional medicine had given up hope on his friends’ cure for stage four cancer, Mel Gibson noted how a controversial choice of treatment offered life-saving outcomes for three of those people. Thereafter, suggesting how these treatments aren’t being embraced by mainstream medical institutions, Gibson urged how they deserve more attention and investigation. 

Joe Rogan believes in greater conspiracies behind the lack of promotion of cancer cures 

Although listeners were left divided by Mel Gibson’s comments about alternative cancer treatments, Joe Rogan, known for hosting provocative and open-ended discussions, did not shy away from diving deeper into the debate. Agreeing with Gibson’s remarks about the lack of widespread promotion of these cancer cures, Rogan hinted at greater conspiracies.

Methylene Blue which was a fabric dye, it was a textile dye, and then they find it has profound effects on your mitochondria… there’s a lot of stuff that does work, which is very strange because again, it’s profit. 

When you hear about things that are demonized and that turn out to be effective, you always wonder, ‘well, what is going on here? How have our medical institutions, how have they failed us so, that things that do cure you are not promoted because they’re not profitable?’.

Highlighting larger systemic issues within the medical industry, Joe Rogan claimed that certain unconventional treatments are being demonized instead of getting promoted, despite them having positive outcomes on people’s health and ailments. Stating how pharmaceuticals are only looking for profitable cures, Rogan sparked curiosity among netizens.
