**No, Scott Adams did not say that he regretted “messing around” with alternative medicine or that it was “too late to go back.”**<grok:render card_id=“14d12a” card_type=“citation_card” type=“render_inline_citation”><argument name="citation_id">89</argument></grok:render>
Here’s what he actually said and did, based on his own statements:
- In his May 2025 podcast announcement about his metastatic prostate cancer diagnosis (spread to bones), Adams mentioned trying ivermectin and fenbendazole. He explicitly noted he **did not strongly believe they would work** — it was more of a low-risk experiment done with his doctor’s approval (the doctor also didn’t expect much from them). He stated they “didn’t work at all.”<grok:render card_id=“0cd97b” card_type=“citation_card” type=“render_inline_citation”><argument name="citation_id">89</argument></grok:render>
- He was upfront that these were not his primary or hopeful treatments. He later used standard medical options, including testosterone blockers (which helped with his severe pain), radiation for a spinal tumor, and pursued the targeted therapy Pluvicto (even publicly asking for help accessing it).<grok:render card_id=“ff7254” card_type=“citation_card” type=“render_inline_citation”><argument name="citation_id">84</argument></grok:render>
- On his X account (@ScottAdamsSays), he has posted skeptically about ivermectin as a cancer treatment in general, calling for real medical records and evidence rather than anecdotes, and stating there is “no evidence” it cures cancer in humans.<grok:render card_id=“39d720” card_type=“citation_card” type=“render_inline_citation”><argument name="citation_id">76</argument></grok:render>
Some online commentators and opinion pieces have *interpreted* his initial choice to try alternatives (and reportedly delaying or declining certain standard therapies like ADT early on) as a mistake that let the cancer progress. Others have claimed it was “too late” by the time he turned more fully to conventional care. But **Adams himself never said he regretted it** or framed his experience that way. He presented the alternatives as something he tried experimentally that simply didn’t help, consistent with his low expectations.<grok:render card_id=“be835d” card_type=“citation_card” type=“render_inline_citation”><argument name="citation_id">59</argument></grok:render>
The X post you asked about appears to have added or exaggerated the “he said he regretted it” part — there’s no public record or quote from Adams supporting that specific claim.
If you have a specific clip, timestamp, or source where you think he said it, feel free to share and I can check it further. Otherwise, the evidence shows he was candid about the alternatives not working but did not express personal regret in those terms.
@BillAckman@BernieSanders@elonmusk@SpaceX It’s easy to blame Bernie Sanders for making stupid statements as he has done his entire career. However, there are plenty of irrational folks among us. What is really amazing is that the people residing in Vermont elected him all these years. What are they like?
@BretWeinstein You left out coward nurses and doctors who facilitated it all. Make 'em pay in part by avoiding doctors and hospitals as much as possible.
Cute theory, let's play it out.
A monkey hoards a trillion bananas. The troop, enraged, beats him to death. They gather around the pile to feast at last.
But... oh wait, there is no pile.
It turns out the "bananas" were shares in a banana-launching company the dead monkey founded.
The shares were worth a trillion because he was alive to run it.
Now he is dead and the stock is worth $0.
The retarded monkeys have clubbed their way into a recession.
But it gets worse.
Half the "bananas" were tied up in a rocket that supplies bananas to monkeys on the far mountain who had no bananas at all.
Another chunk was tied up in a little satellite dish that beamed banana coordinates to the troop after a flood took out their trees.
So now they realized they beat to death the only monkey who knew how the dish worked.
So the monkeys sit there.
No bananas.
No rockets.
No coordinates to get more banananas.
Just a dead body and a powerful sense of fairness as they all now became infinitely poorer.
OH
And somewhere a smaller monkey watches the whole thing and quietly decides he will never build anything in front of these animals again.
@JamieMetzl You’re a “futurist” huh? Impressive claim. The evidence shows USAID essentially stole money from taxpayers to launder it through NGO’s. Not so many presents 🎁 under the tree for their employees these days.
Jonathan Pettigrew was just murdered on a bus in NYC on his way to pick up his young daughter after asking a rider to lower the volume on the phone
Police and media are only identifying the suspect as a “teen with a white shirt”
Warner was 💯! Today's Hospitals are like Vegas gambling casinos. Everything is methodically gamed in favor of the hospital "winning" and the patient "losing."

Perhaps it would be wise upon being admitted to a hospital is to hand a written statement to the nurses and doctors that all consent, express or implied, is hereby revoked, and any treatment given must be expressly consented to by the patient or by the parent or guardian, if the patient is unable to give consent.
