Summary
Details
William (Viliam) Makis, MD is a Canadian-trained nuclear medicine physician, radiologist, cancer researcher, author/commentator, and Substack publisher. Public-facing biographies describe him as having expertise in radiology, oncology, immunology, PET/CT imaging, and repurposed-drug cancer protocols.
His current public work focuses heavily on cancer-treatment commentary involving ivermectin, fenbendazole, and mebendazole, especially for advanced or treatment-resistant cancers. Makis Medicine describes an “Ivermectin Cancer Clinic” mission centered on high-dose ivermectin and repurposed drugs. These cancer uses are controversial and should be treated as investigational/off-label unless reviewed by qualified licensed clinicians.
He has also been a high-profile critic of COVID-19 vaccination and writes on Substack under “COVID Intel,” with recurring topics including COVID-19, mRNA vaccines, turbo cancer, ivermectin, mebendazole, fenbendazole, and cancer therapy.
Location/status note: public posts and user-supplied context indicate he is moving from Canada/Alberta to Florida. Alberta’s College of Physicians & Surgeons states that he has not held an active Alberta licence since February 2019 and, as of a March 4, 2026 permanent injunction, is restricted from practising medicine, offering health services, or using protected medical titles in Alberta unless reinstated or no longer subject to the order.
