Cheol-min Kim, a comedian who stopped taking fenbendazole, a dog repellent for cancer treatment, due to side effects, participated in a video at the National Audit Office today (22nd).



"I have been offered dozens of alternative treatments, such as cactus powder and bamboo bamboo shoot vinegar," Kim said at Gukgam. And then I look upset.”



At the same time, he appealed, "It would be great if there was a doctor who would consult you professionally."



Democratic Party lawmaker Shin Hyun-young also pointed out that "the patients are left to judge the effectiveness of alternative treatments other than standard treatment and manage side effects."



Clinic Shin argues that it is necessary to understand the current status of alternative therapy use and to establish a side effect management system so that patients do not try alternative therapy in the dark.



In response, Minister of Welfare Park Neung-hoo said, "It is necessary to accept alternative therapy into the institutional sphere." Said.



Minister Park said, "I think there is a need for a medical system in which cancer patients can consult or discuss (alternative treatment) every day."



The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety and the Korean Cancer Society previously requested that you refrain from taking the fenbendazole at the end of last year, saying that safety cannot be guaranteed.
