I've read on the NIH.GOV website ivermectin is showing promising results. Hopefully trial studies will be coming soon, I want to try it. TKI's just aren't working for my CML or agreeing with me.

Based on current medical evidence, ivermectin is not a recognized or approved treatment for Chronic Neutrophilic Leukemia (CNL). The standard treatments that have shown effectiveness for CNL include hydroxyurea (Hydrea), immunotherapy with interferon alfa-2b, and in some cases, targeted therapy with ruxolitinib.

Based on current medical evidence, ivermectin is not a recognized or approved treatment for Chronic Neutrophilic Leukemia (CNL). The standard treatments that have shown effectiveness for CNL include hydroxyurea (Hydrea), immunotherapy with interferon alfa-2b, and in some cases, targeted therapy with ruxolitinib. It's important to work closely with your healthcare team to develop an appropriate treatment plan. CNL is a rare condition that requires specific medical interventions. The most effective treatments have been shown to be hydroxyurea, which helps about 75% of patients experience reduced symptoms, or stem cell transplantation, which is currently the only potential cure for CNL.
