There's LOTS about Ivermectin on the Covid-19 Treatment and Prevention (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?109824-Covid-19-Treatment-and-Prevention) thread. :muscle:
Yes, many Avalon members have used it with success. All the protocols are there (and more). There's also information about where to get it, etc etc.
(I'm not sure if it needs its own thread, but it's possible it might be useful.)

Just out of curiosity, I did a Project Avalon search for the very first mention of Ivermectin in relation to covid that someone posted here on Project Avalon.
And the winner is....

I've been using Ivermectin 12mg on a weekly basis. Last week most of my Colleague caught the Virus, out of concern I tested but its negative. I'm not sure its because of Ivermectin or not.

The retracted study did not allow the study author(s) to explain or answer questions about the data. Author believes they were screwed over. (Don't have link, read yesterday).
Some duplication of sentences caused plagiarism to be accused.

There are so many threads that cover Covid. And express that many have had success with ivermectin. But I wanted to share with everyone what happened when we found ourselves in the midst of a very nasty case of the virus. What the medical establishment did, or better yet didn't do... How I believed I had avoided the same fate, as a result of caring for myself using methods listed here on the pages of Avalon... and I wrote it so people would know that the information here is worthy of reading, and methods worthy of trying.. Especially when really trying to care for oneself prior to getting sick...
For that knowledge, I THANK the members of Avalon, and Bill specifically, for making sure this information is still available to members, as well as others who happen to wander into the site.
An interesting observation:
My husbands best friend ended up with CoVid as well. I am not sure if I mentioned this prior. I took care of him the best I could, hoping to help him avoid the hospital... And Yes, I offered to get him some ivermectin should he choose to try it... (He did take it).. He had asthma, which was something that I couldn't help, so after a course of ivermectin, he did go to the er, and they kept him, to help him open his airway... He got the typical inhaler, and some oxygen... He will be released from the hospital today. He was not nearly as sick, and he had no pnemonia...
They didn't give him any CoVid treatments, even as he tested positive, but rather gave him anti inflammatory medications (Mostly steroids) instead, so he could breathe better, as his oxygen numbers were a bit low due to his inability to inflate his lungs.. When he asked about treatments for the CoVid, he was asked why he would want more treatments, when he didn't have the pneumonia, as he had "Apparently caught it and treated it in time"...
:happythumbsup:
I can't say it will work for everyone, but I saw it work firsthand... in my inner circle.

Dizi, I really think that is key, I had that head cold/running nose/sneezing last friday all day, by 6pm I couldn't smell, thats when I started with the Ivermectin , as soon as I couldnt smell, I didn't need a test, I knew. Start fighting back with this virus as soon as it starts.

I believe I had covid twice, in Feb. 2020 and then again in Feb. 2021. Both times started with wild sneezing and a very runny nose. (I don't have allergies, so this was unusual in itself.) The first time I did not use Ivermectin, as obviously that time was way early and covid was not officially even in the US, so I treated this as I would a flu. The first time it did go to my lungs, producing massive fluid, which I was able to keep loose and get out by using NAC, massive vitamin C, and inhaling steam often. I started this immediately, as I have learned to do anyway with the flu, as the flu also can be dangerous if not treated early. Our whole town seemed to have this "weird flu" as we called it, starting in Dec. 2019. It hit me in Feb.
Then, this past Feb., 2021, I did use Ivermectin early on when the sneezing started. This time, it did not go to the lungs, but I still had the fatigue, head symptoms, same low-grade fever. But to my great surprise, lots of skin manifestations happened with this bout - Very itchy palms, soles of feet, and an awful itchy rash that looked like chicken pox all over! My lips were sore and swollen, too. (since then, I have seen many reports about this type of symptom.) Both my palms and soles of feet ended up with peeling skin.
So, first time was rather scary, with the "drowning" type fluid in the lungs, while the second bout was mostly annoying, but not scary. I wonder if I experienced the Delta variant the second time. Now, I was never officially tested, but I do hope I have built greater immunity both times, and I also have Ivermectin on hand now, as the lung stuff can be scary and I can see how people who are not proactive with it at home can easily wind up in trouble.
Yes - I believe early treatment is critical. We need to do our best not to let this thing (as well as any respiratory ailments) get away on us.

... from Jim Stone:
Japan tested the Moderna vials, and they are magnetic. (http://82.221.129.208/.uf0.html)
I did not expect the shot to actually be magnetic. Fortunately, Japan is ****canning them all and is subsequently recommending ivermectin.
http://82.221.129.208/1/japanshots.png
The Japanese media is saying the shot is reacting to magnets, yet there's not a peep about that in any English speaking MSM outlet. And, immediately after discovering the shots were not as advertised, Japan's medical association is on national television recommending Ivermectin for covid.

Hi Viking ..... from memory it was impossible to buy ivermectin in the UK. We ended up ordering two lots of I think 21 tablets from Canadian online pharmacies. They were expensive - I think we paid nearly 100 quid for each order but they arrived okay in this country. Beware of pharmacies wanting you to pay in bit coin. I'll speak to the other half tomorrow and ask him which pharmacy he used and post a link. I think that because it was labelled at customs as a diet/health product it got through customs. Oh and once you have placed your order they usually ring you to confirm the order over the phone. We rang them back as we missed their call and it cost us over 20 quid on the phone bill - so don't use your mobile phone to call them back.

I think we got the first version last March in Northern California. I got a very mild illness, while the hubby got something a bit more extreme. We muddled through taking dayquil, benadryl, pain relievers, a good diet, and vitamins. It was then that I bought my Oil of Oregano...
When the hubby got it and ended up in the ICU this time around, nearly his whole body sloughed off, as far as the skin! I had the itching that you describe, Mostly on the soles of my feet. So I think it something we should mention, as there is literature on the skin rash, blisters, and itching. Very odd thing with a respiratory condition! Sounds more like chicken pox or shingles, yet not. Strange.

Ivermectin, injectable. You can take this orally, or Amazon sells the horse paste version.
I bought the apple flavored Ivercare paste for horses 1.87% at a local tack store, but that is becoming difficult to find...
I also bought a vial of the solution, 1%.. You will need a syringe to pull it from the vial, and then be able to remove the needle for oral use, for your "Animals". You can find conversion charts online for all different "Animals"
https://vic.pharmacy/product/durvet-ivermectin-injectable-1-cattle-and-swine it is $39.95 a bottle, and I believe I paid $3.99 for shipping.
Hope this helps!

Covid Scientist Faces Death Penalty
The Indian Bar Association (IBA) sued WHO Chief Scientist Dr. Soumya Swaminathan on May 25, accusing her in a 71-point brief of causing the deaths of Indian citizens by misleading them about Ivermectin.
Point 56 states, “That your misleading tweet on May 10, 2021, against the use of Ivermectin had the effect of the State of Tamil Nadu withdrawing Ivermectin from the protocol on May 11, 2021, just a day after the Tamil Nadu government had indicated the same for the treatment of COVID-19 patients.”
https://science.thewire.in/health/tn-revises-protocols-leaves-out-Ivermectin-for-covid-patients/
Advocate Dipali Ojha, lead attorney for the Indian Bar Association, threatened criminal prosecution against Dr. Swaminathan “for each death” caused by her acts of commission and omission. The brief accused Swaminathan of misconduct by using her position as a health authority to further the agenda of special interests to maintain an EUA for the lucrative vaccine industry.
https://indianbarassociation.in/press-releases/
Specific charges included the running of a disinformation campaign against Ivermectin and issuing statements in social and mainstream media to wrongfully influence the public against the use of Ivermectin despite the existence of large amounts of clinical data showing its profound effectiveness in both prevention and treatment of COVID-19.
In particular, the Indian Bar brief referenced the peer-reviewed publications and evidence compiled by the ten-member Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC) group and the 65-member British Ivermectin Recommendation Development (BIRD) panel headed by WHO consultant and meta-analysis expert Dr. Tess Lawrie.
The brief cited US Attorney Ralph C. Lorigo’s hospital cases in New York where court orders were required for dying COVID patients to receive the Ivermectin. In multiple instances of such comatose patients, following the court-ordered Ivermectin, the patients recovered. In addition, the Indian Bar Association cited previous articles published in this forum, The Desert Review.
Advocate Ojha accused the WHO and Dr. Swaminathan in Points 60 and 61 as having misled and misguided the Indian people throughout the pandemic from mask wear to exonerating China as to the virus's origins.
“The world is gradually waking up to your absurd, arbitrary and fallacious approach in presenting concocted facts as ‘scientific approach.’ While the WHO flaunts itself like a ‘know it all,’ it is akin to the vain Emperor in new clothes while the entire world has realized by now, the Emperor has no clothes at all.”
The brief accused the WHO of being complicit in a vast disinformation campaign. Point 61 states, “The FLCCC and the BIRD have shown exemplary courage in building a formidable force to tackle the challenge of disinformation, resistance, and rebuke from pharma lobbies and powerful health interests like WHO, NIH, CDC, and regulators like the US FDA.”
Dr. Swaminathan was called out for her malfeasance in discrediting Ivermectin to preserve the EUA for the vaccine and pharmaceutical industry. Point 52 reads, “It seems you have deliberately opted for deaths of people to achieve your ulterior goals, and this is sufficient grounds for criminal prosecution against you.”
The Indian Bar Association posted an update on their website June 5, 2021, noting that Dr. Swaminathan had deleted her now-infamous tweet. They wrote, "However, deleting the tweet will not save Dr. Soumya Swaminathan and her associates from the criminal prosecution which is to be launched by the citizens with active support from the Indian Bar Association."
https://indianbarassociation.in/blogs-iba/
In this update, Advocate Dipali Ojha clarified the nature of the planned action,
"The Indian Bar Association has warned action under section 302 etc. of the Indian Penal Code against Dr. Soumya Swaminathan and others, for murder of each person dying due to obstruction in treatment of COVID-19 patient effectively by Ivermectin. Punishment under section 302 of the Indian Penal Code is death penalty or life imprisonment."
He further wrote, "After receiving the said notice, Dr. Soumya Swaminathan went on the back foot and deleted her tweet. This has proved the hollowness of the WHO’s recommendation against Ivermectin for COVID-19. The dishonesty of WHO and the act of Dr. Soumya Swaminathan in deleting her contentious tweet was witnessed by citizens across the world, as the news got a wide coverage on social media. By deleting the tweet, Dr. Soumya Swaminathan has proved her mala fide intentions."
The entire world witnessed the effectiveness of Ivermectin against India’s deadly second surge as the locations that adopted it saw their outbreaks quickly extinguished in stark contrast to those states that did not.
Among the most prominent examples include the Ivermectin areas of Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Goa where cases dropped 98%, 97%, 94%, and 86%, respectively. By contrast, Tamil Nadu opted out of Ivermectin. As a result, their cases skyrocketed and rose to the highest in India. Tamil Nadu deaths increased ten-fold.
https://www.thedesertreview.com/news/national/ivermectin-obliterates-97-percent-of-delhi-cases/article_6a3be6b2-c31f-11eb-836d-2722d2325a08.html
Tamil Nadu publicly relied upon Dr. Swaminathan's advice in revoking their initial choice of Ivermectin the day after she recommended against it in her May 10 tweet on social media. As a direct result, Tamil Nadu experienced a surge in COVID death and sickness that continues to this day.
The Indian Bar Association dared to initiate a landmark court case against a Public Health Authority (PHA) to call out corruption and to save lives. As the courts in the United States proved to be the life-saving force to ensure a patient’s right to receive Ivermectin, a court in India is now doing the same.
Criminal prosecution of public health officials will send a powerful signal that disinformation campaigns resulting in death carry consequences. Perhaps this pathway will ultimately break the disinformation and censorship stranglehold around repurposed drug use to save lives. Maybe we will witness other countries following India’s example, both in medicine and in law.

Tokyo's Medical Association Chairman Haruo Ozaki (https://www.reddit.com/r/ivermectin/comments/pcncn7/tokyos_medical_association_chairman_haruo_ozaki/) recommends all doctors use Ivermectin (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?115964-Ivermectin-Why-is-it-banned-Senator-Malcolm-Roberts-Destroys-COVID-Vaccine-Narrative-) to treat covid. They had to scrap the spike protein vaxxes due to being contaminated with metal particles reacting to magnets. Meanwhile in 85% adult vaxxed Israel cases, hospitalizations, deaths are skyrocketing.

Ivermectin is a Nobel prize winning generic drug on the WHO's Essential Drugs list. Endorsed by FLCCC.net (authors of MATH+ protocol) for prophylaxis, mild, moderate, severe (ICU) COVID-19. And anecdotally for a subset of long haulers. Originally used as anti-parasitic (worms, river blindness), now recognized as broad anti-viral, anti-bacterial, with potential as chemotherapy adjuvant for cancer. Used over 40 years (3.7B doses), and considered for mass administration for malaria by the WHO.

Delight thank you for the handy chart for Ivermectin. I hope someone can answer this very important question better than what I heard. Now that we know the amount of dosage what is the cycle to take it? I heard about 2 times a week. Also Tractor Supply is not stocking Ivermectin and I checked online at Amazon and was able to complete the additional supply but the prices are up. One tube is around 25$ and a double was about $34.

Hi Forever ..... As regards to the legitimacy of the ivermectin I can only assume that they are indeed legitimate. I understand that Pharmacies in Canada are highly regulated as they are here in the UK.
We were unable to purchase it here so looked further afield.
Perhaps one of our Canadian members may be more qualified to answer your question regarding regulation of on-line pharmacies ( just in case I'm talking rubbish. )
We haven't needed to use ours yet and I hope we don't, so I can't honestly say if they worked or not.

Thanks Suzi! My purchase would also be “for the medicine cabinet” - hopefully, we’ll never need to use them! I’m going to look into finding a private lab that does testing. Will update if I find some information on this. Did you get the 6mg or 12mg? I notice in most clinical papers that have trialed Ivermectin, the dose is 12mg per day?

1st September 2021, 01:29
Evening Forever ...... I have been reliably informed by one of our members who PM'd me that the protocol followed in ICU's in the States is 12mgs per day over 5 days.
I have faith that our purchase is legitimate as there would be massive lawsuits in Canada if they weren't. But, hey always a good idea to get them checked out; and please share any results.
I feel much more comfortable knowing that we have items in our ' medicine cabinet ' that will probably keep us out of hospital and from being seriously ill.

Started my preventative Ivermectin regimen today. So many folks in the local area have come down with the flu-like or diagnosed as Covid. After talking with another person whom has been taking Ivermectin for a few weeks he shared his intake schedule which is once a week, unless I get sick which will increase the cycle to twice weekly. Don't forget to add D-3 and zinc if you start a regimen.

Just want to throw this into the mix re self medication and prevention and cure of Covid 19... whatever the hell it is and where-ever it came from... many of us think we've had it (myself in Dec. 2019..) but we don't know if the psychopaths behind the fake pandemic and 'vaccine' agenda have something similar and nastier up their sleeve... that they might spread deliberately to ramp up the fear mongering so more people accept the jab... (that genetically modifies those who have it in preparation for the transhuman agenda...??)
So in case our natural immunity comes under more attack... best to learn more...
Ivermectin is getting much harder to get by the looks of it in any form - and at the moment the MSM are trying to plant in the minds of the general public that it is basically a horse wormer so they will laugh and scoff at anyone trying to tell them about it - to help them and to help get them out of the clutches of the psychos intent on harming them - - oh ha ha yes a horse wormer... as they are (desperately?) encouraged to dismiss ivermectin...
If ivermectin is basically anti parasitic - then this begs the question.... would other anti parasitic drugs do the same job...
I saw in an article that I will just mention from memory here... that viruses are teetering on the edge of life and it makes sense that they could be (are?) a form of microscopic parasite... invading the body and living and reproducing in the host...
So.... tonight I stumbled on this short video (3.45 mins) about another anti parasite drug fenbendazole (which it turns out is the animal version of mebendazole and albendazole.... human deworming drugs...)
Edmond man says cheap drug for dogs cured his cancer
HYILnjc_wuY
What I'm getting round to saying is that if 'they' are making ivermectin impossible to get or very expensive ... there could be alternatives - from fenbendazole down to the herb Wormwood... the clue is in the name :) - and other anti parasites natural or chemically concocted....
Perhaps cancer is caused by parasites - I saw a book ages ago that went into how cancer could be caused by the fluke worm.. - (from memory I think it was specifically the fluke worm)
Perhaps more health problems than we think are caused by parasites - ? - ?
It's criminal and cruel that all those people who could have been saved from Covid 19 have been denied drugs like Ivermectin - but of course the whole thing was calculated fear mongering to scare people into taking the jab... and those behind it ARE criminal and cruel....
Apparently (I saw somewhere) the Super Rich Global Elite have shifted investments into Big Pharma as the petrodollar is collapsing - they aren't going to want dog wormers etc mess it all up for them - cancer is a trillion dollar / pound industry and now the Fake Pandemic + fake 'vaccines' are a trillion $ / £ industry...
Of course - it goes without saying - before self medicating do your own research if you are looking for other anti parasite drugs that could help if ivermectin isn't available...

Summary of the Clinical Trials Evidence for Ivermectin in COVID-19
Ivermectin, an anti-parasitic medicine whose discovery won the Nobel Prize in 2015, has
proven, highly potent, anti-viral and anti-
inflammatory properties in laboratory studies.
In the past 4 months, numerous, controlled
clinical trials from multiple centers and coun-
tries worldwide are reporting consistent, large
improvements in COVID-19 patient outcomes
when treated with ivermectin.
Our comprehensive scientific review of these
referenced trials on ivermectin can be found on www.flccc.net/flccc-ivermectin-in-the-prophylaxis-and-treatment-of-covid-19/.

Now this being said , Bill said to bump up the D3 to 10,000 IU twice a day and 1000 mg of C every hour which I agree with for if you are sick as recommendations . I took the Ivermectin horse paste based on the dose above for pills for my weight and then converted the dose from the paste to the same dose . ITs very close in a horse pound vs human pound by dose. If I did it again I would take 80% of the recommended dose as I took it for 3 days. The first day I thought I had a head cold and sneezed all day with a runny nose, about 6pm that evening I could not smell vicks vapor rub under my nose so I took a paste dose of ivermectin in a small piece of bread based on my weight and had a bowl of soup afterwards. I started urinating about midnight every hour through the night, I also kept drinking water all thru the night. The 2cd day I did get some of my smell back but in the evening I had pressure behind my eyes, a headache and it was trying to go into my chest. This was at 6pm , I took another dose based on my weight again in a small piece of bread and soup. I swear to you in 2 hours all the symptoms of being sick were gone by 8pm. Even I couldn't believe it. On the 3rd day I had no symptoms of being sick but did take one more dose as a way to seal this up. That evening when I layed down I felt my heart racing a bit and a small feeling of anxiety for about 10 minutes. That's when I stopped taking this . I did continue with the vitamins and quercitin for another week after I stopped with the ivermectin.
The only thing I will say that I would do after wards that no one has spoke of is that after you take ivermectin in a pill form or paste, if your guts feel like they need some stability I made a few glasses of water and baking soda to get my acid level back in line. And I started eating some yogurt to get my good bacteria back in my stomach. That seems to help and drinking milk after . This is a bit taxing on your organs because its getting rid of that covid and probably more other crap that shouldn't be there. But this started on a friday for me and I did come back to work monday just to do office work but nothing physical, I was back to full strength in a few days.
I'm not a doctor, this is just my opinion of what happened to me and I have no other health conditions and do not take any other medications regularly either. IT IS UP TO YOU TO MAKE YOUR OWN DECISIONS AND MONITOR HOW YOU FEEL and or talk to your doctor.
This is some very strong meds and taking more than what you should doesn't help you get better faster, in fact it may give you a trip to the hospital instead. My opinion again, this stuff costs 10 dollars US, there is no money to be made here with the big pharma and the patent has already run out. This is why I believe they are discounting any type of treatment. My opinion again. I'm expressing my thoughts here because like me it was friday evening and no doctor except in the hospital was available and I didn't want this to go into my chest. I read quite a few blogs of people chiming in on the horse paste ivermectin that came from family farms and it was more common to read where they were taking it when they got sick than going to the doctor. My friend that raises collie dogs said when Ivermectin came out it was considered the wonder drug in the 70's , she said it kills everything. She also said it was developed for all mammals except the dog breeds collies and german shepards as it will kill them and nobody knows why. Horses are more sensitive and intuitive than us, even on the box it says its safe for pregnant horses and baby horses. Check out this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erMdRsSprY8 . I tried to get this is a pill form first but the one doc I spoke with said it wasn't recommended, great huh!
I have another buddy who 3 weeks ago went to the hospital, he is overweight and couldn't breathe, he knew he had covid, They wanted to put him on a ventilator , he said no way, they stuck him in a room for 6 days and didn't do squat for him so he checked himself out with the same clothes he had on when he arrived, no shower either. Found a doc online to prescribe ivermectin in a pill form, he took the fist dose and he said by the next day he was 80% better. He still has some issues but he can breathe and is getting better, but hes not an active guy and has alot of weight to carry. Hope all this helps. With hospitals making $14,000.00 just being diagnosed for covid and $39,000.00 being on a ventilator why would they prescribe something that costs 10 bucks?

Shocking Conclusions from Africa Study Expose Why Big Pharma’s Puppets are Suppressing Ivermectin Data
The vaccine-nannies are busy saying Ivermectin doesn't work, but they don't look to the science to show this. They simply gaslight us about the "horse dewormer."
by JD Rucker September 3, 2021 in Opinions
Joe Rogan, Kirstie Alley, and a handful of other celebrities have brought out the anti-Ivermectin wolves in America. Mainstream media is in full attack-mode. Big Tech is censoring posts to the point that people are coming up with creative ways to indicate they’re even talking about Ivermectin so as not to trigger the filters. The CDC claimed the drug was for horses only, neglecting to remove their own recommendations for people to take Ivermectin for other issues.
If the CDC is recommending what they deemed to be a “horse dewormer” to people traveling from Africa, does that mean the CDC is racist?
A graph made its rounds on social media yesterday that raised some eyebrows. It showed the clear difference between countries in Africa that use Ivermectin regularly versus those that do not. The differences were startling as the Ivermectin-nations showed unambiguous advantages against Covid-19. The mortality rates were very low compared to countries that do not use Ivermectin on a wide scale.
https://i0.wp.com/noqreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Ivermectin-Africa.jpg?w=1000&ssl=1
This graph prompted me to dig deeper into the study. As it turned out, the graph is the tip of the iceberg. There are other data points supporting the use of Ivermectin as a treatment for Covid-19 scattered throughout the study. I’ll publish the whole thing below, but here are some important takeaways for easy digestion.
First, the countries that use Ivermectin have less-sophisticated medical facilities than the nations that do not use Ivermectin. This means that life expectancy is lower and testing is more sporadic. Universal Ivermectin use seems to be the only factor preventing these nations from a full-blown Covid-19 catastrophe.
Second, Africa seems to be the perfect environment for this type of study because of the stark differences in mortality rates. Nations that push Ivermectin as an antiparasitic agent were not attempting to fight Covid-19. They’ve been using the drug universally for years. Therefore, the data regarding mortality clearly delineates between Ivermectin nations and non-Ivermectin nations. As the study states, “The community-directed onchocerciasis treatment with ivermectin is the most reasonable explanation for the decrease in morbidity and fatality rate in Africa.”
The final and arguably most important “hidden” takeaway from the study is that recovery and fatality rates for Covid-19 cases were not statistically significantly different between Ivermectin countries and non-Ivermectin countries. That means that once a person was tested and officially declared a Covid-19 case, they recovered or died at essentially the same rates across the board.
This tells us that other factors such as medical proficiency, environmental differences, or access to vaccines do not contribute to whether someone lives or dies once they have become sick with the disease. Since overall mortality rates per capita are significantly lower in Ivermectin nations but case fatality rates are the same, Ivermectin is clearly effective as an early treatment and perhaps even as a preventative measure.
Remember, the people in the Ivermectin nations are already taking the drug. They aren’t waiting for a positive Covid test and likely aren’t even very concerned about the disease at all. Many if not most who do end up becoming Covid-19 cases in Ivermectin nations were likely among those who were not taking Ivermectin as an antiparasitic. This is why they’re on equal footing when they go to the hospital as those living in non-Ivermectin nations.
Here is the study. Below it, I will offer some commentary on what this all means for America and the rest of the world.
Why COVID-19 is not so spread in Africa: How does Ivermectin affect it?
Hisaya Tanioka, Sayaka Tanioka, Kimitaka Kaga
Abstract
Background Scientists have so far been unable to determine the reason for the low number of COVID-19 cases in Africa.
Objective To evaluate the impact of ivermectin interventions for onchocerciasis on the morbidity, mortality, recovery, and fatality rates caused by COVID-19.
Method A retrospective statistical analysis study of the impact of ivermectin against COVID-19 between the 31 onchocerciasis-endemic countries using the community-directed treatment with ivermectin (CDTI) and the non-endemic 22 countries in Africa. The morbidity, mortality, recovery rate, and fatality rate caused by COVID-19 were calculated from the WHO situation report in Africa. We investigated the onchocerciasis endemic 31 countries and the non-endemic 22 countries. Statistical comparisons used by the Welch test of them in the two groups were made.
Results The morbidity and mortality were statistically significantly less in the 31 countries using CDTI. The recovery and fatality rates were not statistically significant difference. The average life expectancy was statistically significantly higher in the non-endemic countries.
Conclusions The morbidity and mortality in the onchocerciasis endemic countries are lesser than those in the non-endemic ones. The community-directed onchocerciasis treatment with ivermectin is the most reasonable explanation for the decrease in morbidity and fatality rate in Africa. In areas where ivermectin is distributed to and used by the entire population, it leads to a significant reduction in mortality.

Ivermectin for COVID-19: real-time meta analysis of 63 studies
Covid Analysis, Sep 3, 2021, Version 114 — discussion updates (V1 Nov 26, 2020) [Twitter personality, Elgazzar, Carvallo]

While many treatments have some level of efficacy, they do not replace vaccines and other measures to avoid infection. Only 29% of ivermectin studies show zero events in the treatment arm.
•Elimination of COVID-19 is a race against viral evolution. No treatment, vaccine, or intervention is 100% available and effective for all current and future variants. All practical, effective, and safe means should be used. Those denying the efficacy of treatments share responsibility for the increased risk of COVID-19 becoming endemic; and the increased mortality, morbidity, and collateral damage.
•The evidence base is much larger and has much lower conflict of interest than typically used to approve drugs.
•All data to reproduce this paper and sources are in the appendix. See [Bryant, Hariyanto, Kory, Lawrie, Nardelli] for other meta analyses with similar results confirming efficacy.

The saddest thing about the Ivermectin story for me isn't that the controlled and bought media has smeared it endlessly, but instead that seemingly many people have just accepted the 'horse dewormer' epithet so readily. Ivermectin working should be in everybody's interest, as it is a cheap and safe drug. None the less, it is also heartening to see many also backing it. Chris Martenson and his coverage on this whole saga has been great.

I lost my husband to glioblastoma and I know what it feels like to be helpless to do anything for loved one. Ivermectin is a MIRACLE substance.
Anthelmintic drug ivermectin inhibits angiogenesis, growth and survival of glioblastoma through inducing mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress (https://www.osti.gov/biblio/22696697-anthelmintic-drug-ivermectin-inhibits-angiogenesis-growth-survival-glioblastoma-through-inducing-mitochondrial-dysfunction-oxidative-stress)
Abstract
Glioblastoma is one of the most vascular brain tumour and highly resistant to current therapy. Targeting both glioblastoma cells and angiogenesis may present an effective therapeutic strategy for glioblastoma. In our work, we show that an anthelmintic drug, ivermectin, is active against glioblastoma cells in vitro and in vivo, and also targets angiogenesis. Ivermectin significantly inhibits growth and anchorage-independent colony formation in U87 and T98G glioblastoma cells. It induces apoptosis in these cells through a caspase-dependent manner. Ivermectin significantly suppresses the growth of two independent glioblastoma xenograft mouse models. In addition, ivermectin effectively targets angiogenesis through inhibiting capillary network formation, proliferation and survival in human brain microvascular endothelial cell (HBMEC). Mechanistically, ivermectin decreases mitochondrial respiration, membrane potential, ATP levels and increases mitochondrial superoxide in U87, T98G and HBMEC cells exposed to ivermectin. The inhibitory effects of ivermectin are significantly reversed in mitochondria-deficient cells or cells treated with antioxidants, further confirming that ivermectin acts through mitochondrial respiration inhibition and induction of oxidative stress. Importantly, we show that ivermectin suppresses phosphorylation of Akt, mTOR and ribosomal S6 in glioblastoma and HBMEC cells, suggesting its inhibitory role in deactivating Akt/mTOR pathway. Altogether, our work demonstrates that ivermectin is a useful addition to the treatment armamentariummore »

Why All The Fuss About Ivermectin?
Highly unvaccinated India had a surge in COVID cases earlier this year which abruptly ended following the widespread use of ivermectin, over the objections and criticism of the WHO. In the one state, Tamil Nadu, that did not use ivermectin, cases tripled instead of dropping by 97 percent as in the rest of the country.

Paul what do your spidey senses tell you about 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide for covid?
I have not worked with concentrated "35%" hydrogen peroxide. It would require dilution with 1 part of "35%" hydrogen peroxide to about 11 parts water, to obtain the "3%" that I use. I would first read up on the appropriate safety precautions before working with concentrated "35%" hydrogen peroxide.
However I keep an Omron nebulizer handy, and I used "3%" food grade hydrogen peroxide, undiluted, in it, a year ago, when my lungs seemed to be dealing with some sort of viral insult. It worked great. Your guess is as good as mine as to what that viral insult was.
That "3%" concentration is the concentration that is most readily available, and it is directly useable, right out of the bottle, in a nebulizer. Less pure "3%" hydrogen peroxide is available off the shelf at most local drug stores, and food grade "3%" is available online.
The Omron nebulizer model I have, and used to recommend, is no longer for sale. It was a table top, AC powered unit that I purchased for about $40. The replacement model NE-C30 that Omron was selling for about $60, a couple of months ago (when I researched this for a friend) also seems to be out of stock or sold out now. So I don't have any useful recommendations, other than to note that I have a couple of cheaper ($20 or so) off-brand Made in China nebulizers that I would not recommend and will probably throw out some day, when I am clearing that shelf.
Since hydrogen peroxide slowly decomposes to water and oxygen while sitting on the shelf, I end up throwing out a partially used bottle every year or two and restocking with a fresh bottle of the food grade "3%" concentration.
As I have become more skilled working with chlorine dioxide, I find myself using the hydrogen peroxide less. However chlorine dioxide should not be breathed into the lungs, except at much lower concentrations than it makes sense to consume orally or apply topically. My lungs were quite annoyed at me for a couple of days, one time, when I breathed in too much chlorine dioxide gas, while making another bulk batch and had a leak in my homemade apparatus.

Hello PythonicCow ...
I purchased what i thought was Ivermectin but on closer inspection it is Abamectin .
Is there much of a difference ?
If you are unsure , its ok .
Below is from wiki ...

-------------------------------
Abamectin is a widely used insecticide and anthelmintic.
Abamectin, is a member of the Avermectin family and is a natural fermentation product of soil dwelling actinomycete Streptomyces avermitilis.
Abamectin is a precursor to ivermectin. It differs from ivermectin in having a double-bond at the C22–23 position.
Both drugs seem to share common mode of action, but they differ in their activity against nematode infections,
abamectin being more active against nematodes than ivermectin (Shoop et al., 1995).26 May 2004

I first heard of Streptomyces avermictilis when someone pointed out to me, a day ago, the fascinating history of Ivermectin ... how a Japanese researcher found it in some dirt on a golf course near him:
Ivermectin discovery and backstory – definitely for the “Just Too Cool” file… (https://www.barnhardt.biz/2021/05/10/ivermectin-discovery-and-backstory-definitely-for-the-just-too-cool-file/)
All I know of it now is what I've read in the above, if that, depending on whether avermitilis and avermictilis are just different spellings of the same thing.

Ivermectin, ‘Wonder drug’ from Japan: the human use perspective
HTML: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3043740/
PDF: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3043740/pdf/pjab-87-013.pdf
Abstract:
Discovered in the late-1970s, the pioneering drug ivermectin, a dihydro derivative
of avermectin—originating solely from a single microorganism isolated at the Kitasato Intitute,
Tokyo, Japan from Japanese soil—has had an immeasurably beneficial impact in improving the
lives and welfare of billions of people throughout the world. Originally introduced as a veterinary
drug, it kills a wide range of internal and external parasites in commercial livestock and companion
animals. It was quickly discovered to be ideal in combating two of the world’s most devastating and
disfiguring diseases which have plagued the world’s poor throughout the tropics for centuries. It is
now being used free-of-charge as the sole tool in campaigns to eliminate both diseases globally. It
has also been used to successfully overcome several other human diseases and new uses for it are
continually being found. This paper looks in depth at the events surrounding ivermectin’s passage
from being a huge success in Animal Health into its widespread use in humans, a development which
has led many to describe it as a “wonder” drug.

A comprehensive review of ivermectin reveals that it is among the safest and most well-tolerated drugs ever introduced to the market.
In this episode I walk through an expert review of ivermectin by Jacques Descotes MD, PharmD, PhD which was conducted in early 2021.
In here we discuss the safety, toxicity and known side effects and drug interactions, few and mild as they are.
I felt this material needed to be brought out into the public to help assure we are having complete conversations founded on the latest data.
The conclusion is that “ivermectin human toxicity cannot be claimed to be a serious cause for concern.”

It's starting to look more and more like the Ivermectin debate is being presented by the PTB playing both sides. I started having my doubts when I noticed the the number of videos about horse paste escalating on You Tube without being censored. Then began the main stream media coverage telling us not to use it. What does a person do when they distrust the mainstream? They do the opposite. So more and more people started buying Ivermectin at farm supply stores. Then we saw the fake stories about overdoses and hospitalizations from taking animal paste, which of course, drives us even further to purchase some at any cost.
Then, hundreds of telemed outlets selling Ivermectin over the phone appear in every state, seemingly out of nowhere. How many people won't take the horse paste but are desperate to get their hands on some pills. Personally, I don't give anything to my animals which I would not consume myself, but sure, $200 phone call plus $60.00 prescription and you get can some pills which cost pennies on the dollar to manufacture.
Finally, the coup d'etat...Joe Rogan cures himself in three days and bravely sticks his neck out on a limb to get this important information out there! Great! A celebrity endorsement we can all stand behind. The heck with you mainstream media. I'm buying some.
Ivermectin is manufactured by Merck in the US. Merck is owned by Vanguard, Blackwater and the banks.
It may be a wonder drug in the treatment of covid, but might it also be another instance of give the people what they think they want...for a price?

SuziEYes, for sure, if she can find some. It can NOT do any harm. :muscle:
There are many (fairly similar) protocols referenced on the Covid-19 Treatment and Prevention (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?109824-Covid-19-Treatment-and-Prevention) thread. Here's among the best — though I personally would increase the recommended vitamin D levels 5x, to 20,000 IU/day until recovered.

Massive ‘Horse’ Lies About Nobel Prize Winning Treatment
by Dr. Joseph Mercola
September 13, 2021
https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2021/09/13/horse-dewormer-ivermectin.aspx?ui=8d3c7e22a03f5300d2e3338a0f080d2da3add85bca35e09236649153e4675f72&sd=20110604&cid_source=dnl&cid_medium=email&cid_content=art1ReadMore&cid=20210913_HL2&mid=DM991839&rid=1263064725

"STORY AT-A-GLANCE
KFOR news ran a fake story in which a doctor claimed emergency rooms in Oklahoma were inundated with people who used horse ivermectin paste as a treatment for COVID-19 and overdosed
The story turned out to be pure fiction, as no such cases have occurred. Still, KFOR has not retracted the story or issued a correction
The idea that ivermectin is a horse dewormer that poses a lethal risk to humans is a deceptive narrative aimed at dissuading people from using a safe and effective drug against COVID-19
While ivermectin is used as a dewormer in animals, it is also a human drug, approved by the FDA since the mid-1990s. It’s on the World Health Organization’s list of essential medicines for several parasitic diseases and, like many other drugs, ivermectin is used off-label for other diseases and conditions
In addition to being antiparasitic, ivermectin also has potent antiviral properties and has even been shown to protect against SARS-CoV-2 spike protein damage
In recent days, another big, fat lie has been allowed to circulate unchecked and unverified in headlines across the media landscape. "Ivermectin: Why Are U.S. Anti-Vaxxers Touting a Horse Dewormer as a Cure for COVID?" asks the Independent.1 Similar headlines — all focusing on "horse dewormer" — have been plastered across many other media outlets.
It appears Oklahoma's KFOR news was the first to run a fake story that made this false narrative explode. September 1, 2021, KFOR reported that emergency rooms were overrun with patients who had overdosed on horse ivermectin. The claim was supposedly made by doctor Dr. Jason McElyea. According to KFOR:2
"Dr. McElyea said patients are packing his eastern and southeastern Oklahoma hospitals after taking ivermectin doses meant for a full-sized horse, because they believed false claims the horse de-wormer could fight COVID-19.'The ERs are so backed up that gunshot victims were having hard times getting to facilities where they can get definitive care and be treated,' he said."
Fake News Alert
Other media outlets ran with the story, including Rolling Stone magazine,3 The Daily Mail,4 the Independent,5 Newsweek,6 The Guardian,7 Yahoo News8 — which later published a story saying a hospital was "disputing" the claim — and MSNBC's Rachael Madow.9
There was just one problem. It was a fake story. A few days after the story made major media rounds, the Sequoyah Northeastern Health System issued a public notice and posted it on its website homepage, dismissing McElyea's claims as pure fiction:
https://media.mercola.com/ImageServer/public/2021/September/northeast-health-system.jpg
However, rather than retract the article, which would be appropriate for a piece that turns out to be fictional from start to finish, Rolling Stone simply posted an "update" at the top of the article, noting Sequoyah's rebuttal. KFOR has issued no correction at all, as of September 7, 2021. The Guardian issued an update at the bottom of its article, but did not include the hospital's statement that NO patients have been treated for ivermectin overdose.
Hundreds of news articles have also brought attention to alleged rises in ivermectin-related calls to poison control centers around the U.S. These too, it turns out, are based on the flimsiest of data. For example, in Kentucky, poison control reports having received six calls relating to ivermectin paste overdose, compared to an average of one per year.
The department of health in Mississippi similarly noted that while calls to poison control involving ivermectin paste have seen a slight increase, all cases have been mild and none have required hospitalization due to toxicity.10 Clearly, people are not dying from horse ivermectin overdoses, and they're certainly not dying from appropriately-dosed and prescribed oral ivermectin.
False Narrative Alert
-Uh_T7WrArI
This idea that ivermectin is a horse dewormer that poses a lethal risk to humans is pure horse manure, shoveled at us in an effort to dissuade people from using a safe and effective drug against COVID-19.
The intent is clear. What our so-called health agencies and the media are trying to do is confuse people into thinking of ivermectin as a "veterinary drug," which simply isn't true. Ultimately, what they're trying to do is back up the Big Pharma narrative that the only thing at your disposal is the COVID shot. As noted in a recent HuffPost article:11
"Health experts ― the kind who practice on humans ― agree that the best way to prevent yourself from catching the virus is to get vaccinated, wear a face mask and stay out of crowds."
In an August 21, 2021, Twitter post,12 the Food and Drug Administration said, "You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y'all. Stop it," linking to an FDA article on why you should not use ivermectin to prevent or treat COVID-19.
The MSNBC report in the video above is another perfect example of the deceptive narrative being spun around ivermectin. The host blatantly mixes data points together, talking about ivermectin horse paste in one breath and rising prescriptions for ivermectin in the other, as if doctors are now prescribing veterinary drugs just to appease desperate patients. He then goes on to refer to doctors' success with ivermectin as "anecdotal."
Comedian and podcast host Joe Rogan, who recently developed COVID-19 and treated it with ivermectin and a slew of other remedies, is also being badmouthed for daring to share his success story. NPR, for example, reported:13
"Joe Rogan has told his Instagram followers he has been taking ivermectin, a deworming veterinary drug formulated for use in cows and horses, to help fight the coronavirus. The Food and Drug Administration has warned against taking the medication, saying animal doses of the drug can cause nausea, vomiting and in some cases severe hepatitis."
3O_7O9_nV10
Did Rogan take horse ivermectin paste? No. Did he take animal doses of it? No. As you can see in the video above, Rogan talked with "multiple doctors" who told him to take it and, ultimately, he did take it and he got well, remarkably quickly. Yet NPR blatantly blends veterinary and human use together, as if to insinuate that he did take horse-level doses of it.
It's worth noting that the FDA is not warning against low-dose oral ivermectin as routinely prescribed for human use. They're warning against animal doses, which no licensed medical doctor would prescribe. In short, doctors are not prescribing ivermectin for horses, nor are they prescribing it at horse dosages.
Ivermectin Is an Essential Human Drug
While ivermectin is used as a dewormer in animals, it is also a human drug, approved by the FDA since the mid-1990s for the treatment of river blindness.14 It's also on the World Health Organization's list of essential medicines for several parasitic diseases.15
Ivermectin has several different properties. In addition to being antiparasitic, it also has potent antiviral properties and has even been shown to protect against SARS-CoV-2 spike protein damage.
Like many other drugs, ivermectin is also used off-label for other diseases and conditions. Systemic lupus and papulopustolar rosacea,16 for example, are sometimes treated with ivermectin. In 2018, a patent was filed to treat certain autoimmune disorders with ivermectin.17
When used preventatively for COVID-19, or as treatment for acute SARS-CoV-2 infection, ivermectin is being used off-label, but there's nothing unusual or suspect about this at all. Many drugs are used "off label." So, when media warn that "ivermectin is not approved by the FDA for the treatment of COVID-19," that essentially means nothing. It certainly doesn't mean the drug isn't FDA approved at all, or that it's only approved for animals.
The fact is, ivermectin has several different properties. In addition to being antiparasitic, it also has potent antiviral properties and has even been shown to protect against SARS-CoV-2 spike protein damage.
Research shows ivermectin impairs the spike protein's ability to attach to the ACE2 receptor on human cell membranes.18 The drug can also help prevent blood clots by binding to SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. This prevents the spike protein from binding to CD147 on red blood cells and triggering clumping.19
As for safety, more than 4 billion doses have been given to (human) patients since 1998, and only 28 cases of serious adverse events have been reported in that time.20 Yet the FDA now claims ivermectin should not be used for COVID-19 because the drug may cause "serious harm," is "highly toxic" and may cause "seizures," "coma and even death"21 — warnings that are far more applicable to COVID shots.
Ivermectin Suitable for All Treatment Stages
Since early on, the Frontline COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC) has been trying to get the truth out about ivermectin. The FLCCC's prophylaxis and early outpatient COVID-19 protocol is known as I-MASK+22 while the hospital treatment is called I-MATH+.23 All include ivermectin. As noted by the FLCCC in a news release:24
"The data shows the ability of the drug Ivermectin to prevent COVID-19, to keep those with early symptoms from progressing to the hyper-inflammatory phase of the disease, and even to help critically ill patients recover.
… numerous clinical studies — including peer-reviewed randomized controlled trials — showed large magnitude benefits of Ivermectin in prophylaxis, early treatment and also in late-stage disease. Taken together … dozens of clinical trials that have now emerged from around the world are substantial enough to reliably assess clinical efficacy."
FLCCC president and chief medical officer Dr. Pierre Kory has testified to the benefits of ivermectin before a number of COVID-19 panels, including the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs in December 202025 and the National Institutes of Health COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines Panel in January 2021.26
The two protocols — I-MASK+27 and I-MATH+28 — are available for download on the FLCCC Alliance website in multiple languages. The clinical and scientific rationale for the I-MATH+ hospital protocol has also been peer-reviewed and was published in the Journal of Intensive Care Medicine29 in mid-December 2020.
Strong Evidence for Ivermectin
April 24 through 25, 2021, Dr. Tess Lawrie, director of Evidence-Based Medicine Consultancy Ltd.,30 hosted the first International Ivermectin for COVID Conference online.31
Twelve medical experts32 from around the world — including Kory — shared their knowledge, reviewing mechanism of action, protocols for prevention and treatment, including so-called long-hauler syndrome, research findings and real world data. All of the lectures, which were recorded via Zoom, can be viewed on Bird-Group.org.33
A one-page summary of the clinical trial evidence for ivermectin is available on the FLCCC website,34 while a listing of all ivermectin trials done to date, with links to the published studies, can be found on c19Ivermectin.com.35 So, what does the evidence show? In summary, studies have demonstrated ivermectin:36
•Lowers viral load.
•Inhibits replication of many viruses, including SARS-CoV-2 and seasonal influenza viruses. An observational study37 from Bangladesh, which looked at ivermectin as a pre-exposure prophylaxis for COVID-19 among health care workers, found only four of the 58 volunteers who took 12 mg of ivermectin once per month for four months developed mild COVID-19 symptoms, compared to 44 of the 60 health care workers who had declined the medication.
•Inhibits inflammation through several pathways and protects against organ damage.
•Prevents transmission of SARS-CoV-2 when taken before or after exposure.
•Speeds recovery and lowers risk of hospitalization and death in COVID-19 patients — The average reduction in mortality, based on 18 trials, is 75%.38 A WHO-sponsored review39 suggests ivermectin can reduce COVID-19 mortality by as much as 83%.
Who's Actually Following the Science?
As noted in an August 3, 2021, review paper in New Microbes New Infections, titled "Ivermectin: A Multifaceted Drug of Nobel-Prize Honored Distinction With Indicated Efficacy Against a New Global Scourge, COVID-19":40
"In 2015, the Nobel Committee for Physiology or Medicine, in its only award for treatments of infectious diseases since six decades prior, honored the discovery of ivermectin (IVM), a multifaceted drug deployed against some of the world's most devastating tropical diseases.
Since March 2020, when IVM was first used against a new global scourge, COVID-19, more than 20 randomized clinical trials (RCTs) have tracked such inpatient and outpatient treatments. Six of seven meta-analyses of IVM treatment RCTs reporting in 2021 found notable reductions in COVID-19 fatalities, with a mean 31% relative risk of mortality vs. controls.
During mass IVM treatments in Peru, excess deaths fell by a mean of 74% over 30 days in its ten states with the most extensive treatments. Reductions in deaths correlated with the extent of IVM distributions in all 25 states with p < 0.002.
Sharp reductions in morbidity using IVM were also observed in two animal models, of SARS-CoV-2 and a related betacoronavirus. The indicated biological mechanism of IVM, competitive binding with SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, is likely non-epitope specific, possibly yielding full efficacy against emerging viral mutant strains."
Despite the evidence, the American Medical Association (AMA), the American Pharmacists Association (APhA) and the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) are now banding together to call on doctors to immediately stop prescribing ivermectin for COVID outside of clinical trials.41
Hopefully, doctors will evaluate the evidence for themselves and do what makes sense and is best for their patients, rather than cater to Big Pharma. Indeed, as the U.S. wants to eliminate all use of ivermectin, other countries are starting to use more of it. India, for example, has added ivermectin for COVID-19 to its list of essential medicines.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Medical Association also added ivermectin to its home treatment protocol August 13, 2021, and Indonesia's government not only authorized the use of the drug but also created a website showing real-time availability of the drug. Hospitals in Indonesia started using ivermectin July 22, 2021. By the first week of August, cases and deaths were plummeting.42

The 'Delta Variant' Is Vaccine Injuries, Whistleblower Claims
https://rumble.com/vm936v-whistleblower-nurse-destroys-delta-narrative-vaccinated-patients-fill-hospt.html
(video embedded at the bottom of the post)
In a recent Stew Peters program, a nurse blows the whistle on several commonly-held beliefs. She points out that her hospital was never, not even during the height of the pandemic 2020, over capacity due to COVID patients. Disturbingly, she notes that most hospital personnel are still unaware that the PCR test is completely unreliable, and care is all based on that test.
Even if you do not have any COVID symptoms, a positive test will land you on the COVID ward, where standard protocol calls for Remdesivir and, if you have low oxygen, being put on a ventilator. She says most patients get worse on Remdesivir, which has been shown to cause heart and kidney problems. She points out that for a short time, the drug was given in combination with ivermectin, and during that time, patient outcomes were much better. Ivermectin was then removed from the protocol.
As for the Delta variant, there are no commercial tests that will identify variants, although genetic sequencing in a research lab would be able to differentiate them. The nurse stresses that she’s never seen “Delta” specified on any patient chart — a claim that raises the question how officials are able to claim that most COVID-19 patients are now infected with the Delta variant.
She’s also reporting seeing a significant number of vaccine injuries, yet she’s not aware of a single instance where the injury was reported to the U.S. Vaccine Adverse Effect Reporting System (VAERS). Whenever she’s brought her suspicions to the doctor, she’s been rebuffed and the vaccine link has been dismissed.
The most shocking take-home from this interview is that the supposed surge in Delta cases are in fact mislabeled vaccine injuries, according to this whistleblower.
“The Delta variant is the vaccine injuries,” she tells Peters. “It’s common knowledge around the staff that is aware of what’s going on, [who are] paying attention [and] aren’t in denial.”

Bought a job lot! Thank you :star:
I also ordered K2 to complement D3 at 10,000iu’s per day.
Please read and research all dosage advice, as each person’s conditions may need to be considered. For example, folk with COPD may just need a limited time on 600 per day to ‘help out’, so it’s important that nothing else you are taking clashes with NAC - check Silymarin etc. (Milk Thistle).
I just looked at my daily intake of non-prescribed stuff, and could potentially cause a gut explosion if I’m not careful!!! Treading carefully to help me get over having vaxxed family staying and my copd suddenly worsening, constant coughing. Hence taking Clif’s advice NAC, with reservations.

Remdesivir is decimated, brutalized, in this new interview by Dr Lee Merritt of Dr. Bryan Ardis. Hospitals are now sometimes not only running out of intubators in their ICU units, but also out of kidney dialysis machines. Hanging from a lamp post would be too quick an ending to Dr Fauci's life on this planet, and who (what?) ever has been behind him.

Remdesivir is decimated, brutalized, in this new interview by Dr Lee Merritt of Dr. Bryan Ardis. Hospitals are now sometimes not only running out of intubators in their ICU units, but also out of kidney dialysis machines. Hanging from a lamp post would be too quick an ending to Dr Fauci's life on this planet, and who (what?) ever has been behind him.
Oops - I forgot to actually post the interview video.
Double oops - I can't post it here, because it's part of Dr Merritt's $8/month subscription program:
Exit the Bio-Matrix, with Dr Lee Merritt (https://drleemerritt.com)
But a small anti-oops: Later in this same interview, Dr Merritt mentions that "Ivermectin liquid", small glass bottles of concentrated Ivermectin in solution, are (for now) a more economical way of purchasing orally consumable Ivermectin, and worth keeping on hand.
I couldn't find it on Amazon, but did find it searching for "Ivermectin liquid" on Duck-Duck-Go. The brand I happened on was "SparMectin-E Liquid Ivermectin" One bottle has 100 ml of 1% Ivermectin, or 1 ml of the active Ivermectin ingredient. One ml of a water-like liquid has a mass of 1 gram or 1000 mg. If someone wanted a 20 mg dose, there would be 1000/20 == 50 doses in that little glass bottle. Current price on the website I found it on is $35. So that's about 35/50 == $US 0.70 per dose, in a conveniently storable form.
P.S. -- Triple Oops - A Veterinarian Prescription (RX) is Required to purchase "SparMectin-E Liquid Ivermectin". Damn.
(The "pour on" forms of Ivermectin, in large plastic bottles/jugs are for for pouring on the skin of animals ... I definitely doubt that should be used by humans orally.)
=== ===
I'm going to have to listen to this week's Exit the Bio-Matrix, with Dr Lee Merritt (https://drleemerritt.com) again. It's full of gems - things to avoid and things to do.

What is the course of treatment?
What is the best way to determine the dosage? What can go wrong? How much of a risk are these drugs?
1) For the recommended course of Ivermectin treatment, and the exact dosage per kg/lb of bodyweight, see page 3 of the I-MASK+ Protocol PDF (https://covid19criticalcare.com/covid-19-protocols/i-mask-plus-protocol) linked on this page:
https://covid19criticalcare.com/covid-19-protocols
2) For what can go wrong and how much of a risk is Ivermectin, virtually nothing. See this recent Chris Martenson video:

The liquid or the capsule would be preferable, no doubt. At this point the delay in delivery is a deal-breaker.
From my own research and reading, based on what I believe are the true experts in the field, with no identifiable self-interests and sincerely concerned about public health, I am convinced it is imperative to arm my wife with this therapy, along with a few others like HCQ. The number I have heard is 12mg of Ivermectin per day, and that if the dosage is not right it will not work. But again that depends on the chosen course of treatment and the health of the patient. From my understanding Ivermectin is very safe with over 2 billion doses consumed worldwide since its discovery in the 1960's. Not much worry about overdosing but under dosing is as you might not get the desired result.
I am placing this here only to illustrate the difficult position we find ourselves in. What is the course of treatment? What is the best way to determine the dosage? What can go wrong?

Not good to hear that Ernie, I am sorry.
But folks, I cannot tell you how easy it is to order from one of the places at indiamart.com, at least from what people have told me who have ordered there and who have received what they ordered. See my earlier post here for information on how to do it.
If I were to buy, I would buy a lot. I think truth is winning out now, but that doesn't mean that supply chains do not make it hard to get any sort of supplement in the future. So buying a lot given how cheap IVM really is makes sense. I also believe at some point soon the US gov possibly could shut down this pipeline.
How many friends do all of us have who might need it later and who we could help at that time by buying a bit extra?
IVM could possibly turn into a form of currency and that is something to think about. Would I trade IVM for other things in the future to some people? You betcha. :)
If you have scripts for other things, a lot of those places have them at a much much lower costs than one would get in the states. Most Americans on this forum know the pharmas charge much more for drugs in the States than they do overseas...
One other note, IVM supposedly is making the people who take some and are not ill from covid feel great otherwise. We all have some amount of parasites in the body which are hard to get rid of. And after four billion does or so and almost zero side effects, it would be worth taking for that reason alone.

I managed to buy Ivermectin from India recently, I purchased 100 (12mg) tablets for 50 usd -delivered to me in the UK. I'm happy to pm anyone the contact details of the pharmacy company and chap who exported it to me -that's if any forum members need it. I paid via Transferwise app- I was reluctant to do the transaction at first, but I had read that quite a few favourable reviews of customers that paid this way and got their pharmacy without issues. Word of caution: I read recently that the customs are halting some imported pharmacy packages in Northern Ireland so it's possible that could be happening elsewhere.
ps forgot to mention the shipment was tracked by India Post and Royal Mail.

Last year I could buy Ivermectin here in Ecuador over the counter for $4/dose. (One dose is all one needs if one has covid.) I bought a couple of packets for myself, both never opened. (And maybe they never will be!)
So last month I went back for more, thinking I could ship a whole bunch to Avalon members in the US or Canada, which would have been easy to do — but I was told it was now available only on prescription. I hadn't anticipated that here. Ugh! :facepalm:

Maybe in the back of your mind you wonder why nobody in the Western media discusses the Indian miracle using Ivermectin. Here's a quote from one of many articles on the net about this:
"There is a blackout on any conversation about how Ivermectin beat COVID-19 in India. When I discussed the dire straits that India found itself in early this year with 414,000 cases per day, and over 4,000 deaths per day, and how that evaporated within five weeks of the addition of Ivermectin, I am often asked, “But why is there no mention of that in the news?”
Yes, exactly. Ask yourself why India’s success against the Delta variant with Ivermectin is such a closely guarded secret by the NIH and CDC. Second, ask yourself why no major media outlets reported this fact, but instead, tried to confuse you with false information by saying the deaths in India are 10 times greater than official reports."

Why the blackout? I'm reading this https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=243448 at the moment, and maybe it answers why? at least for the US, but it doesn't really belong in this thread.

I sure would love to get my hands on some Ivermectin right now, my sister has it, and she is close to 78 yrs old right now, had to go to ER this afternoon, but they sent her home and told to take tylenol. Her lungs so far are still uncongested. I looked at the sites mentioned but didn't understand how to make the order, even if it would get here in time. How long does it take to receive it, if you do get an order through. I would gladly pay someone, if they could get some to me.
This is a very good video presented by Dr Peter McCullough. From about 53 mins he gives treatment protocol. What you need to take to stop Covid from getting worse.

As I posted a few weeks ago, I came down with that covid on a friday night , couldn't smell vicks under my nose so I knew I had it. I have a friend here in town that takes the ivermectin horse paste every month as a preventative , about 1/8" of the tube . He told me that the farmer here in town swears by it and told him if he took that once a month he would not get sick. So that Friday I came down with this (about 4 weeks ago) went to the farm store and bought the ivermectin horse paste, if it say ivermectin paste 1.87% that is the stuff . I bought the Zimectrin brand. Do not purchase this if it says it has anything else in it. I took my first dose based on my weight, put that small portion of paste on a small piece of bread and dipped it in a bowl of soup and swallowed it. Then ate the rest of the soup as a chaser or so. Stuff does taste nasty if you get a taste of it so no to the peanut butter running deer, this is something you want to swallow like a pill. As for the dose , its scaled at per pound for a horse, pregnant horse or baby horse, the dose is almost identical per pound horse to human, so the tube is good for a 1250 pound horse, but if you weight 170 lbs , just take that amount of paste for that pound dose, I always say go 80% your body weight for the dose.
Got my smell back next morning and felt ok on that saturday so I did not take another dose , that was until sunday evening I had pressure behind my eyes, headache and that covid was trying to go in my chest , so I took another dose ( The frontline doc sheet says take minimum of 2 doses , maximum of 5 doses or days ) After I took the 2cd dose at 6 pm , I swear to you in 2 hours at 8pm everything was gone. I couldn't believe it, I did take a third dose on monday just to seal the deal. This stuff is powerful stuff , you have to drink water consistently thru the night and day flushing your system out, My internal body felt pretty taxed after I took this so more soup, yogurt, milk , and even baking soda and water I was taking for a few days . But overall this stuff did the job.
Wondering , I also was taking the d-3, zinc,vit c , melatonin, and that quercitin as the frontline docs have on there sheet. The Monday I did come back to work and just did paperwork, the rest of the week I was sweating most of the day as I weld for a living so I was recycling liquids thru me all day. That covid and ivermectin is a battle within you , my buddy who weighs 350 to 400 lbs took the ivermectin pills and got 80% better the next day but is still having a hard time walking. I've been taking a nap almost everyday since I got this , staying active and ingesting the good stuff in your body is pretty important. Its tough because you feel fatigued but you need to push yourself.
My friend who is a covid nurse started taking this last january and told me about it. Now my other friends daughter has this and did take the ivermectin but it seems like its dragging on even though she took it , but it did help with the major stuff. My wife got sick before I got sick and didn't take anything but over the counter, had it for 10 days and rode it out. Just an fyi
My opinion is there are so many different strains of this covid just like influenza (200 strains). Just depends on which one you have.

These therapies have been approved by a decree of the European Council (European Parliament) and will be in force from 1/10, so they will be distributed little by little around 20/10. Vaccines were approved on a “temporary experimental basis”. But since the decree will oblige to prescribe these 5 new drugs, the use of the vaccine will cease.

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be anything about Ivermectin in this document. They seem to be supplementing the vaccines with 5 new pharmaceuticals (all new and patented of course). 4 of them are monoclonal antibodies and 1 is an immunosuppresant. All very predictable.

Recall that Ivermectin is the "gun" that transports zinc and that quercetin is also an zinc ionophore along with other supplements.
Most "interesting" nutrients and therapeutics have multiple various ways of interacting. I'd wager (were I a wagering man) that Ivermectin is more than just a zinc ionophore.
I am beginning now to understand why I stayed out of advanced biology and organic chemistry classes in college, and stuck to the "simple" stuff such as math and physics. When you start trying to understand how living tissues work, it quickly turns into a bloody mess.

Pharmacist's Tips on Ordering Ivermectin (https://henrymakow.com/2021/09/pharmacists-tips-on-ivermectin.html)
September 24, 2021
(henrymakow.com exclusive)
https://henrymakow.com/upload_images/ivermectin.jpg
1) "Frontline Doctors" and other telemed outfits that make online doctor's appointments are definitely not the way to go in this case. That method introduces a $90.00 U.S. upfront fee that goes to some "nose-picker" doctor plus a 2-7 day upfront delay plus a significant hassle.
Yes, that allows one to order regular pill-form "made for humans" ivermectin from online pharmacies. But the "made for humans" pill/tablet format is a supreme rip-off, many times more expensive than veterinary versions. The best way to go is to order from equine (horse tack) or other veterinary-related shops.
Ivermectin is ivermectin is bloody ivermectin - trust me. [I majored in chemistry, worked for 2 years in a pharmacy and for 2 years doing lab work]. I, for example, just now ordered ivermectin from the online retail shop below which has Promectin and Bimectin in stock (both cheap and more-or-less identical except that the Promectin has a further out expiry date of 04/2024). Ivermectin is still available all over the place out there in various veterinary versions (topical and oral are both OK, fine and no problemo). http://www.eaglewoodequestrian.ca/
2) Note: It is widely believed in "refined circles" that ivermectin is very effective against parasites, viruses and even cancer. [Cancer may be caused ultimately by "viruses" and/or parasites anyway, perhaps in conjunction with excessive radiation and/or environmental toxins. IMO, there definitely is a "cancer virus" e.g. the one (((they))) used on Jack Ruby and Aaron Russo}. We "de-worm" our animals at least once a year but not ourselves? This too is part of the conspiracy to destroy the idiotic,feckless, fatuous, pliable, greedy, slobbering Goyim... and that is not hyperbole. One tries to use ivermectine (.50 cal), hydroxycloroquine (.30 cal), quercitin (.22 cal), and/or ECGC (.17 cal), in that order, with zinc, Vitamin-C and Vitamin-D. Ivermectin (et al.) is the gun, zinc is the bullet, Vitamin-C is environmental and Vitamin-D is preventative.
3) Hydroxy-chloro-quine is quinine (as in tonic water) with a hydroxyl-unit (OH-) and a chlorine molecule (Cl-) tacked on strategically in place of hydrogen molecules via organic chemistry reactions i.e. an analog manufactured from quinine, which is more effective medicinally than quinine on a molecule by molecule basis but has the same mode of action.
By far the cheapest/best way to go is to make "Quina" (quinine) tea from Cinchona bark. Get the totally unprocessed bark (bigger pieces) if possible. Make the tea strong - it's cheap - and it will be every bit as effective as the hydroxy-chloro-quine pill format product because of the high molecular (molar) concentration of the tea. Drinking tonic/quinine water (with zinc) is better than nothing in a pinch but a whole lot of it will have to be consumed (I would try at least a 12-pack of cans per day and pop some zinc tabs with it). Get quinine (cinchona) bark from Starwest-Botanicals.com or mountainroseherbs.com.
4) Or get quercitin (or ECGC) over the counter and use them per usual with zinc, C and D. It's not nearly as effective but good enough if you use plenty of it - especially for prevention or the 1st days of a COVID (or flu/cold) infection.
----
First Comment from David S
I ordered ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine and zithromax from Grant Pharmacy. No prescription needed, reasonable prices with small to large quantity options. I don't know why some online pharmacies require prescriptions and others do not.
https://www.grantpharmacy.com/
Took me a while via chat but Grant Pharmacy confirmed that they ship to UK, Australia, Singapore, and Japan. They don't seem able to provide a list of countries they ship to or do not ship to. And contrary to what I said, the website doesn't provide a list. Anyone who is interested just has to try and make the order and see if they are denied. I think the USA actually has regulations against receiving something like ivermectin from overseas but it's not a law and not enforced. A friend of mine ordered some things like this years ago by mail and was contacted by FDA. He challenge them and they backed off and left him alone.

Thanks for your report on Ivermectin. It truly does work. I had a bout of Covid like symptoms in the 2nd 1/2 of Aug. I decided to get horse paste IVM at a supply store ($5.95 for 6+ doses). It wasn't bad as I just washed it down & I had no noticeable negative side effects. But in 12 hrs. my fever, aches & fatigue were mostly gone & my constant headache 90% reduced. I used the paste for 5 days, but after day 3 I noticed I could breathe well again, as I have some asthma. (I had no increased respiratory troubles with this Covid bout.) I was surprised & could only attribute this to the IVM. But, the relief could not have been the placebo effect because I did not know before that it was found to be an anti-inflammatory against asthma, not just an antiparasitic & anti-viral.
So, I did some research on it and found indeed that it did help asthma too! My findings below I sent to friends. There is cause for some caution in using IVM, as noted. Unfortunately, after 4-5 days off of IVM, my asthma returned, but the supply store had pulled the product off the shelves. I then did a search of 6 online vet supply stores & all their IVM stock was out, pulled from the market, but now with warning notices against human use for each IVM product - this included types used in cattle, hogs & sheep! The FDA are racketeers - they accomplished this just a few days after Joe Rogan's statement for cure from IVM.
I'd followed the work of Dr. Pierre Kory, MD, since Dec., which is why I decided to try IVM. Here's his site for protocols for using this miracle product. https://covid19criticalcare.com/
(https://covid19criticalcare.com/)
IVM & Asthma - Interesting reports & a study below - It does help asthma! That's why my lungs expand nearly fully now! My God, no wonder pharma doesn't want people using this stuff! I haven't breathed so well in nearly 8 yrs. - the last 3 have been rough. I'm not on an inhaler, but should have been & did ask my MD, but she wanted me then to do the creepy nose test. Was going to ask again next visit.

Uses + asthma - also a possible cancer treatment

Contraindications - This report urges caution due to downsides of use/dosage poisoning. Can cause brain damage & 15mg should be the maximum (it's dosed by weight). Elsewhere I did catch info about it causing strokes. Long term use is unknown.

My experience with covid and ivermectin.
On the 13th Aug I lost my father,i really hit a low point and stopped my usual routine of vitamins c,d,zinc,lemon water and a variety of green teas I've really not been ill in years.
You can guess what happened next on the 4th sept i came down ill.my test came back positive on the 6th.many calls from the track and trace to isolate or be fined and have paracetamol if feeling bad.by the 7th I was bedridden and my oxygen saturation had dropped to 90%.i was drinking loads to hydrate and the more I drank the more my tempature went up.40-42 Celsius, ice lollies to counteract the temp was the only thing that worked.as you can see things were getting serious.
What happened next really scared me.i had a test kit arrive for antibody test.a simple finger prick and blood sample,only the blood was just a drop and this drop was sticky hence the low blood saturation,and this could possibly lead to heart attack. So this point it was a choice of hospital or ivermectin which had been dropped of by a friend.
One 12 mg tablet for weight up to 84 kg and iam 87 kg.within 24 hrs blood oxygen was 94 ,temp 38 feeling better.second tablet oxygen 96 temp normal and feeling normal.i carried on for five days in total with improvement each day.iam Completly fine and energy levels back to normal.just missing my father.
Sorry this is from my phone so any grammer is the phones fault.
I hope my account may help somebody, but I have to say many things from my experience don't add up with increase temp seemed to be linked to water intake and the sticky blood also.

Pharmacist's Tips on Ordering Ivermectin (https://henrymakow.com/2021/09/pharmacists-tips-on-ivermectin.html)
1) "Frontline Doctors" and other telemed outfits that make online doctor's appointments are definitely not the way to go in this case. That method introduces a $90.00 U.S. upfront fee that goes to some "nose-picker" doctor plus a 2-7 day upfront delay plus a significant hassle.
Yes, that allows one to order regular pill-form "made for humans" ivermectin from online pharmacies. But the "made for humans" pill/tablet format is a supreme rip-off, many times more expensive than veterinary versions. The best way to go is to order from equine (horse tack) or other veterinary-related shops.
[/INDENT]
Frontline Doctors is a great organization.
Sure, the IVM costs more from them than buying the paste or getting it from India. But these are licensed medical doctors who have come together at great risk to offer IVM to patients who want it. They are helping multitudes of people daily either through prescriptions or information sharing.
Their website is full of great information.

Yes, I can see why you’re feeling suspicious, and it’s very worrisome. On one hand I don’t see any evidence COVID even exists, moreover there’s plenty of indications it doesn’t, but then on the other hand you are the second PA member here that I know of who has fallen very ill lately. I’m scratching my head trying to figure out exactly what’s going on here. Seems like blood coagulation? Is it 5G firing up? Does it have something to do with reported effects from direct contact or being in the vicinity of vaccinated individuals? Is it the tests? Alex Jones mentioned real viruses being dropped over certain states (military intel IIRC)? Then there’s the possibility that whatever is going on could differ between regions, ethnicity etc., and its also possible their actions aren’t uniform globally.
Have we figured this out yet? Or is there too much confusion to asses with any accuracy? I have to limit my time on this kind of information so I’m not up to speed with everything, forgive any ignorance.
Samildamach, was that a same day results test, did you take the test on the 6th? If so, had you been tested before with PCR and when was the most recent test before the 6th?
Glad you’re on the mend. Condolences for your loss.

They injected the poison. The word 'virus' means 'poison' and they injected it into everybody in the world, so they can back off now, because they've accomplished their end game. You will have customers for life and you will succeed at mass-murder.... to make very complicated technologies very simple in their concept:
The mRNA component of the vaccine is designed to be self replicating and "manufactures" the "spike protein" around itself - which is the poison and includes the Graphene oxide as a PEGylated protein - and that damn spike protein is also designed to be skin penetrating (https://www.brighteon.com/358dc7fe-2580-40c6-8a90-13a13175caf5): the perfect tool for perfect assassinations by serial killers!
The mode of transmission could be as follows:
inoculation
direct contact
infected products (breast milk, blood...)
infected criters (mosquitoes, biting critters, pets...)
aerosols
EMFs (Graphene nanotubes)
energetic fields (consciousness, hysteria, thought forms)
... in short, a gigantic, Herculean challenge... yet completely annihilated by the likes of Ivermectin.

I do live with unvacinated and most of my family are unvaccinated.i do think it is impossible to avoid vaccinated people who have recently been vaccinated who might be shedding.people simpley don't tell you or tell you to late there status.
To sum up I really couldn't say were I caught covid from nobody I had contact with had a viral load,so I think that discounts airborne.apart from using public toilets the hand dryers blow everything in an inclosed area,avoid at any cost

I felt ill on the 4th and came up strongly as covid positive in a lateral flow test .
pcr came on the 5th and returned same day,followed by positive result on monday 6th that quick.
We don't have 5 g were iam at, the 5g mask goes up this week.
Definatly blood coaligation and sticky blood,really it did scare me with the reduced oxygen saturation as the blood simply wasn't pumping around my body quick enough.
I think iam coming to the conclusion that vaccinated people are shedding something which is making people ill,its starting to make sence that it's a possibility.

Samildamach, your right on target about the vaxed shedding, just look at the 2 incidents that have happened recently, Harvard college just announced it is going virtual learning this year with a 95% vax rate of student and faculty, WHY? THERE GETTING SICK or as the media has spun the catch phrase "break out cases" . How about lets just call a spade a spade, There infecting each other so they went virtual. Tough one to spin there.
Then there was that cruise ship in texas that came back early about a month ago, everyone on the ship and crew were jabbed, why did they come back early? They were getting each other sick from them all being jabbed. That was a quiet story , the media buried that one. Thats because the science says , yep you guessed it ding, ding, ding, It had to be the jab.
I did want to close as I was talking to a nurse not long ago, she told me that one of her co-workers had some magnets fall off the frig when she was loading bottles in it of medicine, the co-worker took the jab, one of the magnets happened to glance her arm and it stuck to her arm.Spookd the heck out of her, I know off topic a bit but we can see whats coming .

Tragedy In Rural Alberta, A Courageous Doctor Speaks Out .
OCTOBER 3, 2021 / BRIANPECKFORD
On the Steps of the Vancouver Art Gallery on Friday evening past , celebrating the 75 Anniversary of the Nuremberg Code, Dr. Nagase gave this Powerful Speech .
Mater of Ceremonies : Joseph Roberts , Publisher and Founder of Common Ground Magazine
Dr. Daniel Nagase has been a doctor for over 15 years, he graduated from Dalhousie Medical School in 2004.
He has been an emergency doctor for 10 years and has been working in rural underserviced communities throughout Alberta since 2015.
He has a story he’d like to share with you about what happened after he gave Covid patients Ivermectin in a small hospital west of Red Deer.
Thank you Joseph,
It is wonderful to see all of you here remembering Nuremburg.
And that’s the key here, remembering.
Not just the nurses and doctors that are helping by speaking the Truth, people like Dr. Charles Hoffe in Lytton,
But also to remember the doctors in hospital administration, the doctors at the college of physicians and surgeons, the doctors you see on TV that are standing in the way of life saving medicaitons,
Let me tell you what happened in Rimbey Alberta, a small town couple hours west of Red Deer. It shocked me.
I started on Saturday morning in the ER, and when it came time to round on the ward patients, the charge nurse informed me that 3 of the patients on the COVID wing had deteriorated overnight.
All the patients were on Oxygen and extremely short of breath. The only medication these patients were on were steroids.
A Medication that will decrease inflammation but increase the chances of a bacterial infection by suppressing the immune system.
That’s right, the only medication the covid patients at this hospital were on were immune suppressants.
One woman said it felt like we just put her in a corner to die. We weren’t doing anything for her.
I told her, I can’t speak for the usual doctors during the week, but it’s the weekend, and I’ll do everything I can to help.
I offered Ivermectin. She wanted to try it because she heard nothing but good things about it. All 3 patients wanted to try ivermectin.
The hospital didn’t have any, so we had to ask Red Deer Hospital’s Central Pharmacy for the medication.
They refused to send Ivermectin. Red Deer’s central pharmacist said Ivermectin was useless for COVID.
He even had the Pharmacy Director for All of Alberta contact me to tell me Ivermectin didn’t work.
The Pharmacy Director for Alberta Health services is Dr. Gerald Lazarenko. Remember that name.
He is both a Pharmacist and a Doctor. And he insisted that Ivermectin had no place in the treatment of COVID.
So we checked the local pharmacies. And God bless that charge nurse, although both pharmacies in town did not have ivermectin, there was one pharmacist who would do everything he could to get some even if it took all day.
We didn’t have all day, my patients were sick. So I started everyone on the next best thing, Hydroxychloroquine which the hospital did have.
I also started Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and Zinc.
And because the patients were coughing and short of breath I gave them inhalers… Salbutamol and Flovent, the same inhalers that have been used for asthma for over 50 years.
I also gave them Azithromycin.
Surprisingly by late afternoon, the town pharmacist finally found some ivermectin.
He couldn’t get it from his usual chemical supply, because it was a Saturday. He had to get it from an agricultural supply.
He checked to make sure that it was the exact same Ivermectin a pharmacist would give to a person, brought it back to his pharmacy and checked it again.
He then called me with the good news.
I handed Ivermectin to each of my 3 patients with their exact dose of according to their weight.
And you’ll never guess what happened next.
Within hours of getting Ivermectin, I got a call from the Central Zone medical director. Dr Jennifer Bestard.
She called me to tell me I was forbidden from giving Ivermectin to patients.
I told her she’s never met the patients, she’s not their doctor, and had no right to be changing the care of my patients without the patient’s permission.
She said Ivermectin was forbidden from the hospital. Even if the patients had their own Ivermectin. (Which I would have happily given to a relative so they could to hand it over to them), Patients would not be allowed to take their own ivermectin.
She said it was a violation of Alberta Health Services Policy to give Ivermectin for COVID.
But that wasn’t good enough. The next day she called the hospital and gave me 15 minutes notice that I would be relieved of my duties.
I told her that it was unreasonable. I had an emergency department full of patients who can’t be sorted out in 15 minutes.
An hour later another local doctor came to replace me.
They didn’t even want me to check up on the patients who I gave Ivermectin to.
Not even 24 hours after getting Ivermectin, 2 out of my 3 patients were almost completely better. They were out of bed walking around and all the crackles I heard in their lungs from the day before were gone.
All it took was about 18 hours and 1 dose of Ivermectin.
The third patient who was 95 years old, stayed the same. She didn’t get any worse like she had done the night previous.
I found out later that no sooner had I left Rimbey hospital, the next doctor who came to replace me stopped the antibiotics, stopped all the vitamins, she even stopped the patients inhalers.
Within hours of my leaving the hospital this doctor even took away the patient’s inhalers, to help her breathe.
The patients were not even allowed vitamins.
Thankfully, both my 70 year old patients who had immediate recoveries after a single dose of ivermectin left the hospital that week.
(I’d like to speak briefly to the healthcare professionals in the crowd)
No doctor would take away antibiotics and inhalers for ANY viral pneumonia, never mind COVID. No doctor would do that to ANY patient with a pneumonia. Unless they were… Well I’ll let you think about that. We are remembering Nuremburg after all.
And for healthcare professionals, I want us all to think very deeply about that.
But it gets worse, In my brief day and a half in the small town of Rimbey, I saw 2 patients who had recently been discharged from Red Deer Hospital after being on the COVID ward.
They were sent home with NOTHING. Not even an inhaler.
These patients ended up in ER at a small hospital wanting help. Just days after being sent home from a tertiary care hospital with nothing.
There is something malicious going on. I hope you can all see the bigger picture.
This is more than me having all my assignments to take care of small communities cancelled for the rest of the year.
This is more than the medical director, Dr. Fraincois Belanger banning me from hospital practice throughout all of Alberta.
Just a week after giving ivermectin and then filing a complaint against the Alberta Pharmacy Director,
a complaint sent to the College of Physicians and Surgeons, about the Pharmacy director for an entire province denying 11 pages of studies showing 0% mortality for patients given Ivermectin.
In study after study after study, 0% mortality, 0% mortality, 0% mortality… with Ivermectin.
And in “Severe” COVID? A 50% reduction in mortality with Ivermectin.
This is all in Albertat Health Services own Ivermectin report.
Just a week after I filed a complaint that Dr. Gerald Lazarenko was withholding a life saving medication from an entire province, the Alberta college of physicians and Surgeons forbade doctors and pharmacists from giving patients ivermectin.
We must remember.
We are here to remember.
Not just the people who died from medical experimentation.
We are here to remember the people today.
We are here to remember every single doctor, lawyer, and medical ethicist that sits on the board of the BC college who is investigating Dr. Charles Hoffe for speakng the truth.
We are here to remember every doctor who stopped patients from having a live saving medication.
And what for? To boost mortality? To create an ICU “crisis”? To create a state of emergency?
All to push a vaccine?
We must remember, the people of the past. And the people of today.
History repeats itself.
Nuremburg will happen again.
We must remember.

...
... from Jim Stone:
DO NOT TAKE IVERMECTIN RIGHT AFTER YOU HAVE EATEN
I have noticed that trolls are telling people to take ivermectin right after you eat because it "works better". That is SABOTAGE.
Also, a "pea size amount" from a tube of "horse paste" will not do jack.
Here is generic ivermectin advice:
Ivermectin should ALWAYS, WITHOUT EXCEPTION be taken when you get up in the morning (or as long as you want to wait after that without eating) to make GOOD AND SURE your stomach is completely empty.
Take it with at least a glass of water and do not eat anything for a full hour.
I may have forgotten to mention this with my ivermectin posts.
And no, an adult CANNOT POSSIBLY be poisoned with a single 20 or less gram tube of horse paste but that's more than you would need at one time so I would not eat a whole tube at once just to avoid wasting it. And the stuff I got for myself is not horse paste at all, it is for "everything except humans" - Chickens, horses, goats, pigs, dogs, WHATEVER. Which obviously means humans too but would require different marketing for that.
"Human" dosing is .15 milligrams per kilogram but I took it to 3 whole milligrams per kilogram (eventually, after testing lower doses) just to be a guinea pig for this site and could not notice anything at all and I mean NOTHING, nothing was noticeable at all. Important repeat:
I noticed something BIG after my first dose that amounted to 0.25 mg/kg however, and it is probably because dying parasites released toxins into my system. You'll probably feel the effects of dead parasites in their death throes from your first (small) dose but after that, no matter how much I took I could not notice anything at all. I would avoid driving for a day. Claudia (who "never drives") literally ordered me to pull over and she started driving. So it would probably make sense to make your first dose no more than 0.25 mg/kg body weight just to reduce the shock to your system from dead parasites.
ALSO: I did not take ivermectin to "cure Corona". I took it out of curiosity and for the purpose of my first ever in my lifetime parasite cleanse. It worked wonders. There were results. I feel a lot better to boot.
After the initial cleanse I took it in larger and larger amounts just to post what happened on this site.
Answer:
In amounts far beyond any recommendations, and many times more than needed to kill parasites, after the parasites were dead I noticed NOTHING AT ALL.

Paul what do your spidey senses tell you about 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide for covid?
I have not worked with concentrated "35%" hydrogen peroxide. It would require dilution with 1 part of "35%" hydrogen peroxide to about 11 parts water, to obtain the "3%" that I use. I would first read up on the appropriate safety precautions before working with concentrated "35%" hydrogen peroxide.
However I keep an Omron nebulizer handy, and I used "3%" food grade hydrogen peroxide, undiluted, in it, a year ago, when my lungs seemed to be dealing with some sort of viral insult. It worked great. Your guess is as good as mine as to what that viral insult was.
That "3%" concentration is the concentration that is most readily available, and it is directly useable, right out of the bottle, in a nebulizer. Less pure "3%" hydrogen peroxide is available off the shelf at most local drug stores, and food grade "3%" is available online.
The Omron nebulizer model I have, and used to recommend, is no longer for sale. It was a table top, AC powered unit that I purchased for about $40. The replacement model NE-C30 that Omron was selling for about $60, a couple of months ago (when I researched this for a friend) also seems to be out of stock or sold out now. So I don't have any useful recommendations, other than to note that I have a couple of cheaper ($20 or so) off-brand Made in China nebulizers that I would not recommend and will probably throw out some day, when I am clearing that shelf.
Since hydrogen peroxide slowly decomposes to water and oxygen while sitting on the shelf, I end up throwing out a partially used bottle every year or two and restocking with a fresh bottle of the food grade "3%" concentration.
As I have become more skilled working with chlorine dioxide, I find myself using the hydrogen peroxide less. However chlorine dioxide should not be breathed into the lungs, except at much lower concentrations than it makes sense to consume orally or apply topically. My lungs were quite annoyed at me for a couple of days, one time, when I breathed in too much chlorine dioxide gas, while making another bulk batch and had a leak in my homemade apparatus.
Thanks for this useful information. I am currently looking into nebulizers. There are so many to pick from I am not even sure what to look for. This at least narrows the field a bit. I was hoping to use the Spooky2 to make MMS and then use that in the nebulizer, along with hydrogen peroxide.
Somehow I had not anticipated a mouth piece like that. I thought it would be a hood of some sort. The mouth piece makes more sense.

The Omron nebulisers are great, I have bought another C102 compressor nebuliser to enable me to inhale my colloidal silver brew. The smaller portable version’s filters keep blocking, probably my fault.
Today was another cathartic episode, fighting a viral infection with many vits/supplements, aerosol salt washes, and freshly brewed CS. Feel very well, lungs good at the moment by using my newly acquired breathing exerciser, and constant nasal issues precursors to a major infection calmed down.
Hopeful I have beaten nasties, and still scoffing healthy food, lots of extra nutrients/supplements. My nose has stopped pouring, itching and sneezing, throat clear, no lung rattles. Phew - fingers’ et al crossed I have crossed a nasty virus threshold. 🤞🤞

I have noticed that trolls are telling people to take ivermectin right after you eat because it "works better". That is SABOTAGE.
Hmmm, I have the FLCCC doc in front of me describing the I-MASK+ protocol, it clearly states "lvermectin 0.4–0.6 mg/kg per dose (take with or after a meal)".

I waited three days in before I tried Ivermectin. I used it for a total of four days. The first application I took with a small bowl of white rice. The last three days, I had two applications with rice each day. The last day I expelled a lot of mucus via the intestinal track and went on to eliminate chaff over the next couple of days.
It was hard to measure out a specific amount of Ivermectin. It came out in a big blob about the size of a penny. I took half and saved the other for later in the day.

The main symptoms were coughing and sore throat. I took “Robitussin for Cough and Chest Congestion DM” and ”Cepacol Sore Throat & Cough Lozenge’. I still have a lingering cough but it’s mostly at night. I didn’t experience a high temp, but I had chills on the first day.
I’ve since ordered three more tubes of Ivermectin because I used up the tube in four days. As for the taste, what helped was I sucked on a throat lozenges for a few minutes, then downed the Ivermectin with a mouth full of water, and popped the lozenge back in.
PS I purchased Ivermectin for horses @ Amazon. Each of the three purchases was from different distributers because by the time I went back they were sold out. The most recent purchase was a double order (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08TW3RPH1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and I see it's almost double in price in just a few days.

Simply put the paste into an empty gelcap (gelatin capsule). That's so (a) it can be measured, and (b) there's no taste.
Gelcaps can be bought online very cheaply, and weigh almost nothing. (Or, empty out something that's cheap and can be stored in another way, like Vitamin C powder capsules, and then use a few of those.)

It's a good idea if you've got a large tube. I should have mentioned there's only 6.08 grams (0.21 oz) in the tube. It wasn't that bad a taste. It only takes seconds to swallow and wash down with something like apple juice.

Total anecdote:
One of the most relevant (to ivermectin) life experiences I've experienced was with the horse rescue I ran (which literally included anything smaller than a horse as well, to include several mongoose (https://youtu.be/7Q1onFtYlSE)). Ivermectin was one of the most important and first meds I used.
I have accidently overdosed kittens due to negligence/bad math/what have you (my bad!) the effects I saw were very neurological, the kittens acted very confused and clumsy but it wore off after a sweaty 30 min.
All medicines are dangerous at incorrect dosage.. but I've saved thousands of furry lives with ivermectin... parasites and negligence are usually fatal in non-western countries, treating one or the other is a very successful avenue usually.

They're not messing about are they.... one gets the feeling that they are going 'all in' with a long planned Depopulation Programme and they will probably not get another chance as the info filters through to the majority of the world's people in the process of being killed or made infertile one way or another - I expect they are calculating that by the time it becomes more obvious it will be too late -
Now the new deception with this pill - I suppose they think if they can get a % of the so called vaccine hesitant to take it they have increased the numbers who will die over the next few years with weakened immune systems and cancer -
It's horrible to have to think this way but we are being attacked from so many angles it's hard not to -

I wonder if - although Ivermectin might be the creme de la creme - wormwood (tea?) and maybe other types of anti parasitic medications could do the trick - more maybe as an ongoing treatment rather than the acute cure that Ivermectin seems to be..
Animals are regularly de-wormed but human's aren't and perhaps if we were then lots of health problems could be alleviated or solved..?
The success of anti parasite drugs like Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine on Covid 19 - whether it be man made from a lab or not ..could be because Viruses are a type of microscopic parasite..
Perhaps an anti parasite drug could even help to eliminate what ever is in the vaccine... and that would be very unwelcome for 'some'...
Bearing in mind that trillion dollar industries are built on human's being ill or diseased - those making the money at the top of the wealth pyramid are not going to be keen on anything that weakens their power base... I've heard it said that the Super Rich Elite are moving their investments from the collapsing petrodollar to Vaccine and Drug companies (those that haven't already )...

https://projectavalon.net/gelcap_sizes.gif
Assuming one tube of Durvet brand Ivermectin Equine paste:
Each tube contains 6.08 gram of paste. In fact the ‘paste’ is actually more gel-like than pasty. So I’ll refer to it as gel.
6.08g of gel contains 1.87% ivermectin (IVM). Therefore, 113.7mg IVM per 6.08g tube.
113.7 milligram total of IVM divided by 6mg (a standard dosage of IVM in human pill form will usually be 6mg or 12 mg tabs) equals 18.95 capsules per tube.
So, 6.08g gel divided by 18.95 equals .3208g (320.8mg) of gel per capsule to provide 18+ 6mg doses per tube.
I use 00 vegetable capsules from Capsules Express (Amazon). They are red. I like making red pills.
The entire tube can be emptied into a 10ml sterile syringe. I have these syringes on hand for filling ink cartridges for my printers. I only use the syringes that are still in their sterile packaging. These sterile syringes are available at pharmacies at very low cost. They do not include a needle for puncturing skin and injecting. They’re not intended for injection. They will come with a narrow tube that looks like a needle but it’s not. This tube can be inserted into the bottom of one half of a capsule shell to dispense exact amounts of gel.
I use an inexpensive digital scale. The red caps weigh about .007g. I use a bottle cap with a hole drilled in it just the diameter of the capsule shells so that the capsule shell sits upright on the scale for filling. Tare the scale, then dispense 320.8mg of gel into each capsule.
The caps I use actually snap together. Once the caps are sealed I’ve had no problem with them degrading due to moisture in the gel. It’s a good idea to use a dark brown bottle that seals air, and to insert a desiccant from a used medication or supplement bottle to store the 6mg caps of IVM. Note the temperature range for storing IVM gel on the packaging. It’s a pretty narrow range, around room temp (22c).
The NIH tells us that the half-life of IVM in humans is 12-36 hours, although it’s metabolites can persist for three days. A large single dose measured from the original horse tube is probably great for treating parasites. For prophylactic covid treatment I’d follow the guidelines for administering the human pill form. Same goes for treating a covid infection.
There is no reason to take too much IVM at one time. What I think is important is to use the most bioavailable zinc and vitamin D supplements at the same time as the IVM. I use quercetin with zinc, a couple of drops of liposomal zinc, micellized D, and one capsule containing 5000iu of D with 100mcg of K2. Once in a while I’ll add a capsule of IVM for two days. That’s about 12mg IVM in two days, maybe every other week, or if I feel as if I’ve been hit with a snootfull of spike protein from someone who has been recently vaxed.
Also, magnesium can easily be depleted so I take magnesium L-threonate and magnesium citrate maybe two or three times a week. The L-threonate variety does not cause digestive issues, and it crosses the blood-brain barrier, which other varieties of magnesium does not. The L-threonate variety is more expensive and not always easily available so I add the magnesium citrate variety, just not in a large enough dose to cause digestive issues.
In addition, lipsomal C is a good thing to have on hand.
Now, vitamin K2 is very important for metabolizing vitamin D. But here’s the rub when using K2 supplements – K2 is directly involved in proper blood coagulation and we are dealing with a dangerous blood clotting agent when exposed to the virus or the spike protein. Moderation is the key, I think, in using K2 supplements. Too much K2 could work against us in that it may enhance the spike protein’s ability to create blood clots.
Anyone using an anti-coagulant medication such as coumadin must be very careful when taking in vitamin K, even through diet (leafy greens are full of K). Note that Dr McCullough
https://rumble.com/vlqdpo-dr-peter-mccullough-lecture-on-the-state-of-covid-treatment..html
lists dabigatran (Pradaxa) as one of the anti-coagulants to be used if a covid infection becomes serious. When I was faced with heart problems years ago, despite being in excellent health otherwise and having been active most of my life at the level of trained athlete, I researched anti-coagulants and purposefully chose dabigatran instead of other meds that the cardiologists wanted me to take. At the time, dabigatran was the only anti-coagulant that actually had an antidote in the event of injuries that result in heavy bleeding. Every hospital in my area had several doses of the antidote on hand in their in-house pharmacy. Also, dabigatran is not affected by vitamin K to any great extent. I mention this medication because McCullough lists it, and it is perhaps safer than others for in-home covid use. Anyone who is prescribed an anti-coagulant could speak with their doctor (if you have access to a doctor any more) to have your prescription changed. Coumadin is cheap, and it’s a cash cow for the clinics and hospitals because they can charge infinite lab fees to monitor a patient’s clotting factor. Blood draws are not necessary for dabigatran.
The other item I’d mention is the blood pressure medication Losartan. It binds to the same receptors as the spike protein, so if a person needs to take a blood pressure med (as I do) it only makes sense to use Losartan. Back in early 2020 there was interest in using Losartan to possibly treat covid cases. Medcram had some very detailed information on this.
The only other thing I have to say is that NAC is very important to have on hand in the event of a covid infection that attacks lungs. In the US we are threatened by the FDA to have our source of NAC taken from us. I keep as much on hand as I can. If I have any breathing problems I dose myself with it. If you’re not familiar with NAC I would suggest that you do some reading. I also keep canisters of Boost oxygen on hand in the event that O2 levels get too low. I have no access to hospitals or doctors any longer. Our local hospital will attempt to murder me if I allowed them. My primary care doctor has been an ally for decades, but is no longer in practice. Good for him, I say. He might live and might just be in demand when all this idiocy blows over.
Above is an abbreviated list of my own routine meds and supplements. You’re all better off doing your own research and experimentation than following my words.

Moderation is the key, I think, in using K2 supplements. Too much K2 could work against us in that it may enhance the spike protein’s ability to create blood clots.
I think that it is Vitamin K1 that is more involved in blood coagulation than K2. I take K2 with my D3 because K2 helps move calcium out of the blood and into where it's useful, such as teeth and bones. I would expect that high D3 doses, combined with K2 deficiency, could result in calcification of arteries, along with weaker bone and tooth formation. K2 is the what Weston Price called the X factor, found in primitive diets but not so much in civilized diets, accounting for the nearly perfect teeth in people on various primitive diets, despite no use of tooth brushes or dentists, but less often found in people on civilized diets.
From Vitamin K2 and Blood Clotting. Is it Safe for Those on Blood Thinners? (https://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com/vitamin-k2-blood-effects/):
Vitamin K2 is perhaps the most critical and yet misunderstood nutritional deficiencies in the western diet.
Dr. Weston A. Price was the first to discover the magic of K2 in the early 1900s. He described it as the secret or “X-factor” supporting the high resistance to aging and the nearly complete absence of cardiovascular disease and other degenerative ailments in Traditional Cultures.
Unfortunately, depleted soils make it extremely difficult even with a clean, whole food diet, to get sufficient amounts today. Thus, many people educated on this subject choose to boost their daily intake either with the fermented form (MK7) or the animal form (MK4).
Since one of the most profound effects of increasing the amount of vitamin K2 in the diet is on the health of the cardiovascular system, the next question becomes how does K2 affect the blood?
Vitamin K2 and Blood Clotting
While blood clotting is an essential function of the body, unnatural blood clots are not. This is an important issue of late because clotting issues are one of the severe complications of coronavirus. In addition, it is a side effect of the covaxx experimental gene therapy injections.
Thus, would supplementing with K2 negatively predispose a person to this problem?
According to Dr. Kate Rheaume-Bleue, one of the foremost experts in vitamin K2, the answer is no.
The reason is that under normal circumstances, the blood clotting mechanisms in the body are dominated by vitamin K1, NOT vitamin K2.
Thus, even very large amounts of K2 from food or supplements do not markedly affect blood clotting.
The one exception to this rule is for those people who take the drug warfarin, also known as Coumadin. This drug works by creating a vitamin K deficiency in the body. Thus, any source of either K1 or K2 in the diet or via supplement will counteract its effects by restoring natural clotting capacity that is roughly the same as in an unmedicated state. (1)

Thanks for that bit of clarification. When vitamin ‘K’ is referenced it’s usually K1 that’s indicated. It comes from green leafy plants and is directly involved in blood clotting. K2 is found more in fermented foods. Both are involved in creating and/or modulating many proteins that need to be balanced properly for adequate clotting without danger of unnecessary clots that can cause strokes, etc. It’s a complicated system that’s evolved over millenia.
I didn’t wish to add too much more to the post and so cut the K2 portion short. Other than leaving it as a question to be answered as well as mentioning caution. I’ve always been careful with K2 pretty much out of ignorance of the complicated dance required to prevent unwanted clotting. The other item I failed to mention are probiotics such as kefir, that can provide K2 but are valuable for other reasons. Other fermented foods can replace kefir. Heavily processed sauerkraut probably isn’t the best choice, but I’ve found organic sauerkrauts at the local grocery that fit the bill perfectly. Interestingly, one of Clif High’s latest videos focused on fermentation. . . .
Quite likely a healthy person can eat as much K2 in supplement form as they want and not have a problem, as you point out. I think that the one stroke that I had was due simply to the fact that my resting heart rate is in the bradycardia range and one evening I just got too relaxed in the wrong position. To most others (I suppose) this would have been a scary, dangerous event. For me it was fascinating. With just a small bit of hindsight I could see that the stroke was necessary on another level, though. It forced me to pay attention and learn what I needed to know to intervene at just the right time to save my neighbor when her mitral valve became infested with bacteria and her blood was seriously infected. Both of these events were timed perfectly. I didn’t need the stroke for myself. Except the experience was engaging, being paralyzed, loosing speech and the ability to form words even in writing to match ideas that were clear in my mind. It was much like an acid trip or a heroic dose of psilocybin that lasted a long, long time. But that’s all another story. Everything worked out as it was supposed to. I did get a pacemaker, though, to set my resting rate at a more normal level. At this point my heart has become accustomed to being paced when at rest. Probably when the batteries run out in three or four years it will be game over – no hospitals or surgeons to replace batteries.
It is a pity that we no longer have reliable medical care here. I’d love to know if I have antibodies remaining from my exposure to the virus in 2020. I’m pretty sure that the Pradaxa and Losartan I was using made the course of that infection mild. Plus I’ve always been able to heal very rapidly. Today I have no fear of covid. I’ve been wanting to expose myself to a known source of it just to see what happens. Have all of the supplements actually been worth the effort this past year?

Argentinian Doctor Shares His Ivermectin Experience
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
Argentina has extensive medical experience with ivermectin. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, it was used to treat dengue fever, which is endemic in Argentina
Early in the pandemic, Dr. Hector Carvallo, a retired medical professor in Argentina, devised two ivermectin trials to assess the drug’s usefulness against SARS-CoV-2. His treatment protocols are used in five Argentinian provinces. In one province, the death rate was reduced to one-third in less than a month, in the middle of the outbreak
When used preventatively, ivermectin is administered in conjunction with carrageenan, which also has antiviral properties
When treating mild cases, ivermectin is administered with aspirin; in moderate cases with aspirin and corticosteroids, and in severe cases, ivermectin is given with enoxaparin, an anticoagulant drug
These drug combinations were selected based on what was known about other viruses that cause similar health effects as SARS-CoV-2, such as the rhabdovirus’ effect on neurology, the paramyxovirus, which causes hyperinflammation in the lungs, and the dengue virus, which overamplifies the immune system

Serrapeptase and nattikonase are both very effective, ensure they are taken without food and are enteric coated. Pretty pricey but life saving for some.

One of the posts I read concerning a doctor viewing through the microscope a biological entity with a human looking face and legs like a spider seemed conscious of the scientist viewing it. The scientist said that trillions of these things come in the mRNA Kill Shot, and will travel to every organ of your body. Therefore, would a SYSTEMIC WORMER such as ALBENDIZOL successfully kill off these parasites (which is what they are)?

"The following therapies can be used, and many have been used, to prevent and treat COVID-19 (and many other infections, viral or otherwise). Not all of them have been equally well-documented or proven as being effective. Some have strong literature, research study, and clinical support. Others represent simply logical applications of treatment protocols that have already been proven to be highly effective in eradicating other viral infections and should be expected to have comparable effects on the COVID-19 virus. The treatments described below are categorized as having the ability to prevent, to improve and to cure COVID-19 and other viral syndromes. "

The scientist said that trillions of these things come in the mRNA Kill Shot, and will travel to every organ of your body. Therefore, would a SYSTEMIC WORMER such as ALBENDIZOL successfully kill off these parasites (which is what they are)?It's not a completely crazy idea, and I've wondered the same thing myself. Interestingly, as we all know, Ivermectin is also a de-wormer, as is Nitazoxanide (https://www.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov/therapies/antiviral-therapy/nitazoxanide/), recommended by the FLCCC as part of their intensive treatment protocol for covid. See the PDF (https://covid19criticalcare.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/FLCCC-Alliance-I-MASKplus-Protocol-ENGLISH.pdf), where it says:
lvermectin: 0.4–0.6 mg/kg per dose (take with or after a meal) — one dose daily, take for 5 days or until recovered.Use upper dose if: 1) in regions with aggressive variants (e.g. Delta); 2) treatment started on or after day 5 of symptoms or in pulmonary phase; or 3) multiple comorbidities/risk factors.
and/or
Nitazoxanide 500 mg 2 x daily for 5 days after meals. Combine with ivermectin (preferred) or substitute if ivermectin is not available. (Nitazoxanide is often unavailable or high-priced in the USA.)
The PDF states that "Nitazoxanide is often unavailable or high-priced in the USA", though it is FDA-approved. Interestingly, it's freely available over-the-counter in Ecuador as an antiparasitic agent (as is Albendazole) very cheaply, at just $5/packet.
(I have to say, personally I do NOT fully understand why some de-worming agents also seem to be effective antivirals!)

Observations on an order from India of IVM.
1. Shipment arrived, as promised, all packaged correctly, about three weeks after the order.
2. Indiamart is a very interesting company/website. They have many vendors and offer a lot of different products, and seem to take more of a hands on approach to make sure their vendors deliver what is promised, more so than places like Amazon, Ebay, etc.
3. In pricing a new order, prices are still the same now as opposed to maybe six weeks ago. So even though the practice of buying IVM from India seems to be more popular than before, supply is meeting demand.
4. You can buy other drugs that are prescription drugs on Indiamart at a fraction of the cost you would pay in the US.
5. Feel free to private me for more information.
Now here is the interesting part.
I am not terribly intuitive, but after three days of 12 mg a day (the recommended amount for my body weight would be 18mg if I had covid), I was in a half sleep/half awake state and I had the strong sensation of my torso being a "shell". In other words, I could feel the outside of my torso but the inside was "empty"...it was empty space...
This is just conjecture, but my sense is that the IVM had killed off something in "my" body (I have not nor ever will vaxx so what was it???) and the feeling of emptiness within the torso was from the lack of life forces connected to whatever had been killed off. I could of course be wrong here, but in the state I was in, the "conscious" mind could not have been playing tricks, I dont think.
A truly fascinating feeling....fwiw...

In July 2021, the Indonesian Food and Drug Monitoring Agency (BPOM) finally granted the Emergency Use Authorization for Ivermectin as the therapeutic drug to cure the Covid-19.
This was due to the country’s “worst-case scenario” epidemic at the time according to officials.
Indonesia experienced a spike in COVID-19 infection and deaths in July and was struggling to slow the virus transmission due to its high population. Indonesia is ranked as the world’s fourth most populous country. ...

I recently put on this thread how I had covid and it caused sticky blood.
This article is suggesting that the culprit could well have been good old paracetamol.
It reacts with a virus and may cause some serious side effects such as blood coaligation.
Doctors are recommending paracetamol to bring down your tempature ,which may effectively put your in hospital

One possibility:
The feeling of emptiness within the torso could mean the years of accumulated toxic materials is expelled. The body is rid of the mucus and garbage that fills the nooks and crannies and pipelines with the sticky matter and poisons that serve to drain our life force.
Now there’s an adjustments to a new baseline. A relearning of health that we’ve not had the opportunity to experience for a lifetime because of “their” intentional acts to weaken our body systems through manipulation of food, water, air, sunshine, nefarious tech, mass produced stressors, programs of fear and lack and the incitement of deleterious emotions.

After I took that ivermectin I was consuming probiotics, yogurt, milk to recoat my stomach and get some good bacteria back in once again. I was NOT ingesting anything harsh , acidic, caffeine, or any alcohol for a while after I did this. It took about 3 weeks to get my system feeling normal again. you have to remember , you dropped an H bomb in your system and it got rid of it. Hope that helps, I also took baking soda and water a few times making bicarbonate soda.

My brother came to visit. He felt feverish, VERY fatigued, congested and lost his sense of smell. I gave him ivermectin.
Then I started feeling ill (mostly dull headache and congestion). I used Ivermectin. We also used oil of oregano (only a drop or two twice a day). We both take zinc, other supplements.
Note that he showed symptoms first. However, i am beginning to notice after working with vaxxed people a lot, I DO think I have mild reactions to them. Mostly headachy and congested symptoms and a few months ago I was much more tired after working> Not sure if transmission?
I never noticed any reaction to IVM except for my symptoms resolving. Both of us had very mild symptoms for a few days (less than even "usual" cold symptoms).
Don't know what this was about and will NOT get tested but IMO IVM COULD be a universal panacea for "viral" illness or whatever we think IS a viral illness?

Abstract
Discovered in the late-1970s, the pioneering drug ivermectin, a dihydro derivative of avermectin—originating solely from a single microorganism isolated at the Kitasato Intitute, Tokyo, Japan from Japanese soil—has had an immeasurably beneficial impact in improving the lives and welfare of billions of people throughout the world. Originally introduced as a veterinary drug, it kills a wide range of internal and external parasites in commercial livestock and companion animals. It was quickly discovered to be ideal in combating two of the world’s most devastating and disfiguring diseases which have plagued the world’s poor throughout the tropics for centuries. It is now being used free-of-charge as the sole tool in campaigns to eliminate both diseases globally. It has also been used to successfully overcome several other human diseases and new uses for it are continually being found. This paper looks in depth at the events surrounding ivermectin’s passage from being a huge success in Animal Health into its widespread use in humans, a development which has led many to describe it as a “wonder” drug.
Keywords: avermectin, ivermectin, mode of action, onchocerciasis, lymphatic filariasis, drug resistance
Introduction
There are few drugs that can seriously lay claim to the title of ‘Wonder drug’, penicillin and aspirin being two that have perhaps had greatest beneficial impact on the health and wellbeing of Mankind. But ivermectin can also be considered alongside those worthy contenders, based on its versatility, safety and the beneficial impact that it has had, and continues to have, worldwide—especially on hundreds of millions of the world’s poorest people. Several extensive reports, including reviews authored by us, have been published detailing the events behind the discovery, development and commercialization of the avermectins and ivermectin (22,23-dihydroavermectin B), as well as the donation of ivermectin and its use in combating Onchocerciasis and lymphatic filariasis.1–6) However, none have concentrated in detail on the interacting sequence of events involved in the passage of the drug into human use.
When it first appeared in the late-1970s, ivermectin, a derivative of avermectin (Fig. (Fig.1 )1 ) was a truly revolutionary drug, unprecedented in many ways. It was the world’s first endectocide, forerunner of a completely new class of antiparasitic agents, potently active against a wide range of internal and external nematodes and arthropods. In the early-1970s, a novel international Public Sector–Private Sector partnership was initiated by one of us (Ōmura, then head of the Antibiotics Research Group at Tokyo’s Kitasato Institute), forming a collaboration with the US-based Merck, Sharp and Dohme (MSD) pharmaceutical company. Under the terms of the research agreement, researchers at the Kitasato Institute isolated organisms from soil samples and carried out preliminary in vitro evaluation of their bioactivity. Promising bioactive samples were then sent to the MSD laboratories for further in vivo testing where a potent and promising novel bioactivity was found, subsequently identified as being caused by a new compound, which was named ‘avermectin’.7) Despite decades of searching around the world, the Japanese microorganism remains the only source of avermectin ever found.1) Originating from a single Japanese soil sample and the outcome of the innovative, international collaborative research partnership to find new antiparasitics, the extremely safe and more effective avermectin derivative, ivermectin, was initially introduced as a commercial product for Animal Health in 1981. It is effective against a wide range of parasites, including gastrointestinal roundworms, lungworms, mites, lice and hornflies.7–12) Ivermectin is also highly effective against ticks, for example, the ixodid tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, one of the most important cattle parasites in the tropics and subtropics, which causes enormous economic damage. Indicative of the impact, in Brazil, where some 80% of the bovine herd is infested, losses total about $2 billion annually.13) Today, ivermectin is being used to treat billions of livestock and pets around the world, helping to boost production of food and leather products, as well as keep billions of companion animals, particularly dogs and horses, healthy. The ‘Blockbuster’ drug in the Animal Health sector, meaning that it achieved annual sales in excess of over US$1 billion, maintained that status for over 20 years. It is so useful and adaptable that it is also being used off-label, sometimes, illegally, for example to treat fish lice in the aquaculture industry, where it can have a negative impact on non-target organisms. It also has extensive uses in agriculture.2)

Ivermectin proved to be even more of a ‘Wonder drug’ in human health, improving the nutrition, general health and wellbeing of billions of people worldwide ever since it was first used to treat Onchocerciasis in humans in 1988. It proved ideal in many ways, being highly effective and broad-spectrum, safe, well tolerated and could be easily administered (a single, annual oral dose). It is used to treat a variety of internal nematode infections, including Onchocerciasis, Strongyloidiasis, Ascariasis, cutaneous larva migrans, filariases, Gnathostomiasis and Trichuriasis, as well as for oral treatment of ectoparasitic infections, such as Pediculosis (lice infestation) and scabies (mite infestation).14) Ivermectin is the essential mainstay of two global disease elimination campaigns that should soon rid the world of two of its most disfiguring and devastating diseases, Onchocerciasis and Lymphatic filariasis, which blight the lives of billions of the poor and disadvantaged throughout the tropics. It is likely that, throughout the next decade, well over 200 million people will be taking the drug annually or semi-annually, via innovative globally-coordinated Mass Drug Administration (MDA) programmes. Indeed, the discovery, development and deployment of ivermectin, produced by an unprecedented partnership between the Private Sector pharmaceutical multinational Merck & Co. Inc., and the Public Sector Kitasato Institute in Tokyo, aided by an extraordinary coalition of multidisciplinary international partners and disease-affected communities, has been recognized by many experts and observers as one of the greatest medical accomplishments of the 20th century.15) In referring to the international efforts to tackle Onchocerciasis in which ivermectin is now the sole control tool, the UNESCO World Science Report concluded, “the progress that has been made in combating the disease represents one of the most triumphant public health campaigns ever waged in the developing world”.16)
Onchocerciasis
The origins of ivermectin as a human drug are inextricably linked with Onchocerciasis (or River Blindness), a chronic human filarial disease caused by infection with Onchocerca volvulus worms. The parasites are transmitted via the bite of infected blackflies of the genus Simulium, which breed in highly-oxygenated, fast-flowing rivers and watercourses. In the human body, immature larval forms of the parasite create nodules in subcutaneous tissue, where they mature into adult worms. After mating, female worms can release up to 1000 microfilariae a day for some 10–14 years. These move through the body, and when they die they cause a variety of conditions, including skin rashes, lesions, intense itching, oedema and skin depigmentation (Fig. (Fig.2 ).2 ). Microfilariae also invade the eye, causing visual impairment and loss of vision, onchocerciasis being the second leading cause of blindness caused by an infectious disease.17) The disease causes visual damage for some 1–2 million people, around half of who will become blind.18)

In the early-1970s, the disease was endemic in 34 countries: 27 in Africa; 6 in the Americas; and 1 in the Arabian Peninsula. The World Health Organization (WHO) later estimated that 17.7 million people were infected worldwide, of whom some 270,000 were blind, and another 500,000 severely visually disabled. The burden of onchocerciasis was particularly extreme in the hyper-endemic belt across sub-Saharan Africa. Communities in these areas exhibited high rates of visual disability caused by Onchocerciasis, up to 40% in some areas, which caused immeasurable negative impact on individual and community health, reducing economic capacity and productivity, and leading to the abandonment of fertile agricultural lands.19)
By 1973, Onchocerciasis had been recognised by the then head of the World Bank, Robert McNamara, as a major disease of massive health and socioeconomic importance and one in dire need of combating in West Africa, and he became the key agent for change. In 1974, following international recognition of the dramatic consequences of disabling and disfiguring Onchocerciasis in Africa, four United Nations agencies, including the World Bank, launched the Onchocerciasis Control Programme in West Africa (OCP). The programme covered 1.2 million km2, protecting 30 million people in 11 countries from River Blindness.
Drug donation
For over a decade, OCP operations were exclusively based on the spraying of insecticides by helicopters and aircraft over the breeding sites of vector blackflies in order to kill their larvae. Following the registration of ivermectin (produced under the brand name Mectizan®) for human use in 1987, in a hitherto unprecedented move and with unheralded commitment, Mectizan® was donated by the manufacturing company, Merck & Co. Inc., to treat onchocerciasis in all endemic countries for as long as it was needed. The resultant drug donation programme was the first, largest, longest running and most successful of all—and proved a model for all others that have followed. Ivermectin began to be distributed in 1988, with operations being organized through the independent Mectizan Donation Program (MDP) established and funded by Merck. Thereafter, OCP control operations changed from exclusive vector control to larviciding combined with ivermectin treatment or, in some areas, to ivermectin treatment alone. Ivermectin swiftly became the drug of choice for the treatment of Onchocerciasis due to its unique and potent microfilaricidal effects, the absence of severe side effects and its excellent safety. It is now the sole tool being used in disease elimination campaigns in the 16 other African countries where the disease exists, orchestrated by the African Programme for Onchocerciasis Control (APOC), which commenced operations in 1996. A single annual dose of 150 µg/kg of ivermectin, given orally, can reduce the level of skin microfilariae to zero and, by interfering with worm embryogenesis, can delay the build-up of new microfilariae for a period of up to two years. OCP was closed in December 2002 after virtually stopping disease transmission in all target nations except Sierra Leone where operations were hampered by civil war.
The process, from the discovery of ivermectin’s activity against onchocercal microfilariae to the successful distribution programme from 1988 onward, was neither an easy or direct path. Success was achieved through groundbreaking and innovative partnerships. The journey was a complex undertaking, incorporating scientific uncertainty, conflicting views, ambiguity, frustration, individual innovation and unexpected twists and turns. The actual discovery of ivermectin was an international team effort involving a unique, pioneering Public Sector/Private Sector partnership and the commitment and vision of several key individuals. Ivermectin’s development into a drug for human use also involved a number of organizational, individual and pharmacological variables—together with a large slice of luck, educated insight and personal commitment.
Development of ivermectin for human use
In the mid-1970s, the global community mobilized itself to address the major problems of neglected tropical diseases. Following the setting up of the OCP in 1974, the UN-based Special Programme for Research & Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR) was established in 1975.20) Onchocerciasis, one of two filarial infections among TDR’s eight target diseases, was at that time a major public health problem affecting 20–40 million people in endemic areas. At exactly this time, a specialized novel anthelmintic mouse screening model in Merck’s research laboratories was identifying the avermectins in the microbial sample sent by the Kitasato Institute, of which ivermectin would become the most successful derivative.
At the time, there were no safe and acceptable drugs available to treat Onchocerciasis, which had plagued Africa for centuries, effectively leading to the creation of the OCP and its vector control focus. TDR quickly found that, despite many pharmaceutical companies, such as Bayer, Hoffman-LaRoche, CIBA-Geigy and Rhône-Poulenc, carrying out routing screening for filaricidal compounds, no companies were interested in developing suitable anti-Onchocerca drugs, as there was no apparent commercial market. Worse still, Onchocerca species would not develop to maturity in any rodents, making it impossible to screen compounds in an animal model against the target organism.21) It had been shown that O. volvulus could infect chimpanzees (Pan troglodites) but it was deemed unethical to use these animals for the necessary large-scale research, even though some testing of compounds was undertaken.22,23) Consequently, the OCP opted to devote operations to aerial larviciding via helicopters and small fixed-wing planes. It was a very ‘vertical’ programme, mainly coordinated through the World Bank and other UN agencies, with multimillion dollar contracts given to a US-based helicopter company and to an American chemical company for the insecticides.
Meanwhile, with respect to research needs, TDR had identified six specific areas that required special attention, with the discovery of effective and safe chemotherapeutic agents considered to be the highest priority. In 1975, only two drugs were available for the treatment of onchocerciasis: diethylcarbamazine (DEC) and suramin. The use of both was highly unsatisfactory. DEC, which was known to kill microfilariae, caused violent and even dangerous hypersensitivity reactions in the human host. Suramin, developed 50 years previously for treatment of Sleeping Sickness, was the only drug considered for killing adult worms but was highly toxic, often causing severe and occasionally fatal reactions. Moreover, parasitological cure of patients using DEC and suramin required lengthy and expensive treatment given under medical supervision. Therefore, the TDR Scientific Working Group (SWG), composed of leading independent scientists in the field from around the globe, including industry, decided that the priority was a new and non-toxic macrofilaricide (to kill adult worms), a macrofilaricide being determined to be substantially preferable to a microfilaricide (which would target immature worms).24)
At the first meeting of TDR’s Filariasis Scientific Steering Committee in 1976, it was reported that Programme staff had visited 16 major pharmaceutical companies but had found none actively working on onchocerciasis. Nor was there any validated model for screening. The Committee agreed that the high cost of maintaining screening facilities for drugs against tropical diseases was a significant deterrent to industrial involvement.25) TDR acted to rectify this situation and thereby engage industry in the search for a new drug. Unfortunately, O. volvulus parasites can only develop fully in humans and a few primates. Fortunately, the closest relative to the human parasite is O. ochengi, found in cattle, which is restricted to Africa and which is also transmitted by the same vector. The O. ochengi cattle model thus facilitated experimental studies, in the field and laboratory-based, that were not possible in humans, leading to detailed knowledge of the parasite’s life cycle (Fig. (Fig.3 ).3 ). From 1977 on, TDR provided technical and financial support to establish a comprehensive screening system for Onchocercal filaricides. The Programme identified five academic and private research institutions with technical capacities and facilities for primary and secondary screens: the University of Georgia (USA), University of Giessen (Germany), the Wellcome Foundation (UK), the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (UK) and the University of Tokyo (Japan). TDR provided some US$2.25 million to these Public Sector institutions for primary and secondary screening of compounds, while pressing pharmaceutical companies to donate compounds for testing with the promise of full confidentiality. Additionally, TDR established a unique tertiary screen, using cattle, for compounds showing positive results in any secondary screen. Based at the James Cook University of North Queensland, Australia, the screen, costing almost US$435,000, was the best predictor of what a compound would do in humans. Some 10,000 compounds, many supplied by leading pharmaceutical companies as coded samples, passed through the screening network, including several from Merck.26)

Figure 3.
Life cycle of Onchocerca volvulus.
In reality, ivermectin’s role in human medicine effectively began in April 1978 inside the Merck company, several years before the drug emerged on the Animal Health market. The highly potent bioactivity of a fermentation broth of an organism isolated by the Kitasato Institute in Tokyo, which had been sent to Merck’s research laboratories in 1974, was first identified in 1975. The active compounds were identified by the international multidisciplinary collaborative team as the avermectins, with the subsequently-refined ivermectin derivative being designated the optimal compound for development. Merck scientists, under the direction of Dr William Campbell, found that the drug was active against a wide range of parasites of livestock and companion animals.10) The informed foresight of a Merck researcher, Ms. L.S. Blair, resulted in the discovery that the drug was effective against skin-dwelling microfilariae of Onchocerca cervicalis in horses. These did not actually cause clinical disease and so the finding was of little commercial significance. However, O. cervicalis belongs to the same genus as O. volvulus, and upon reading the experimental reports, Dr Campbell surmised that there might be some merit in testing for impact against the latter. In July 1978, he sent ivermectin (as a coded sample), together with the results of the horse trial, to the TDR-supported tertiary cattle screen in Australia. The results, obtained in November 1978, showed that ivermectin was “highly effective in preventing patent infections with both O. gibsoni and O. gutturosa”. This reinforced Campbell’s growing belief that ivermectin would be effective against human onchocerciasis. Consequently, in December, he proposed to the Merck Laboratories’ Research Management Council that “an avermectin could become the first means of preventing the blindness associated with onchocerciasis” and that “discussions be held with representatives of WHO to determine the most appropriate approach to the problem—from the medical, political and commercial points of view”.27,28) Senior management approved the lead taken by Campbell and research funding to investigate the potential use of ivermectin in humans was approved by Dr Roy Vagelos, then President of the research laboratories.
TDR reactions to the initial data about ivermectin were rather muted, especially as it was searching for a macrofilaricide and ivermectin appeared to have little impact on adult worms. In late-1979, a TDR official visited Merck and, although the meeting resulted in TDR’s technical contribution to Merck’s ivermectin research, there was no ensuing discussion about collaboration to develop ivermectin for use in human Onchocerciasis.
Fortunately for all, in January 1980, Merck decided to proceed independently to Phase I (safety) trials. Clinical trials of ivermectin began in 1981, with a Phase I trial in 32 patients in Senegal followed by another trial in Paris among 20 West African immigrants. These trials were independently organized and funded by Merck, with a staff member, Dr Mohamed Aziz, previously of WHO, being the caring and committed driving force behind them. Dr Aziz started the study in Senegal with safety uppermost in his mind. It began with a very low dose of 5 µg/kg and found that a single dose of ivermectin, 30 µg/kg, substantially decreased the number of skin microfilariae. It also established that the effect lasted for at least 6 months, with no serious adverse events being observed. The subsequent Paris study confirmed these results and showed that doses up to 200 µg/kg were well tolerated.29,30)
When Merck officials visited TDR and OCP in 1982 to present the results from the Phase I trials, each side recognised the immense potential and collaboration in earnest began.
Evidence suggests that collaboration between these major partners commenced in a complex environment of mutual wariness, suspicion and shared hope that ivermectin would indeed prove to be an effective treatment for Onchocerciasis. The situation was compounded by the fact that Merck saw ivermectin as a potentially commercial product to be used for individual patient treatment, and moved forward constantly seeking an income return on its investment. In contrast, TDR, together with OCP, saw the drug as a new community-level tool that could possibly interrupt parasite transmission and thereby help reduce the prevalence of the disease in endemic communities. TDR and OCP consequently regarded community-based trials under field conditions as an essential step towards mass-treatment programmes, as opposed to the individual treatment in hospitals favoured by the commercial partner. The continual negotiation with respect to the cost of the drug eventually resulted in a commitment from Merck in July 1985 to supply it in sufficient quantities and at the lowest possible price consistent with the interests of the company, later confirming that it would be made available to “… governments and patients at no cost to them for the treatment of Onchocerciasis”.31)
With respect to official registration of ivermectin for human use, Merck, focussing on the single-patient approach, pressed ahead on its own and submitted an application to the French health authorities in 1987 based solely on the studies of the first 1,206 onchocerciasis patients, expecting to receive approval later that year, which it subsequently did.24,32) In its submission, Merck indicated a price of $3 per tablet, meaning that a treatment dose would cost $6, well beyond an affordable amount for those most in need.
Prior to registration, the involvement of TDR and OCP increased substantially, as they organised field trials, including extremely expensive, large-scale trials of the effectiveness of ivermectin in community treatment programmes, and campaigned tirelessly to get the cost of treatment reduced to an acceptable level. During the trials to test the efficacy of the drug in field settings (Phase II trials starting in 1983), Merck continued to fund much of the work, with additional financial support from OCP and TDR. Fortunately, TDR’s existing international network facilitated Merck’s ability to develop workable relationships with researchers and institutions to conduct activities in Africa and South America. TDR was also able to influence the design of study protocols, and support applied research on onchocerciasis treatment at one of its specialized centres, the Onchocerciasis Chemotherapy Research Centre (OCRC) in Tamale, Ghana, where Dr Kwable Awadzi had devised a method to quantify clinical reactions to microfilaricides using a scoring system of commonly observed reactions.33) This made it possible to compare the degrees of systemic reactions for all compounds using a common metric, eventually confirming the promise of ivermectin as a safe and highly effective microfilaricide.
Thirteen community-level (Phase IV) trials were conducted between 1987–1989, with over 120,000 individual doses of ivermectin administered. Of the 13 community trials, TDR funded five in Liberia, Cameroon, Malawi, Guatemala and Nigeria, and spent US$2.35 million in total. Over the period, TDR spent between 25–35% of its total annual budget for all filariasis work on ivermectin. OCP funded the eight other studies in Ghana, Mali, Togo, Benin, Ivory Coast, Guinea, Burkina Faso and Senegal. As a private sector company, Merck’s financial contributions to the development of ivermectin for human use, although substantial, remain unknown.
Advantages of ivermectin for treating Onchocerciasis
Ivermectin proved to be virtually purpose-built to combat Onchocerciasis, which has two main manifestations, dermal damage resulting from microfilariae in the skin and ocular damage arising from microfilariae in the eye. Until the advent of ivermectin, despite its drawbacks, DEC was the drug of choice traditionally used to treat patients with onchocercal infection. DEC acts quickly to eliminate microfilariae from the anterior chamber of the eye and keeps the eye clear for a year or more. However, the rapidity of clearance often causes ocular damage as a result of an exaggerated inflammatory reaction. Conversely, ivermectin proved to slightly increase microfilariae in the eye upon treatment, followed by a gradual reduction, reaching to near zero, similar to DEC, within six months (Fig. (Fig.4 ).4 ). Most significantly, little or no resultant ocular damage occurs. Unlike DEC, it is believed that the large molecular size of ivemectin, a macrocylic lactone, prevents it from crossing the blood/aqueous humour barrier, stopping it entering the anterior chamber and exerting an effect directly on microfilariae.34) This makes ivermectin an ideal treatment for patients with ocular involvement.

Similarly, evaluation of the impact of DEC and ivermectin on dermal microfilariae, confirmed that both caused almost complete clearance within two days after treatment, reducing the load to virtually zero within eight days. However, although both drugs produce long-term suppression of the reappearance of microfilariae, ivermectin is superior, virtually eliminating all microfilariae and maintaining that status for some 90 days, whereas the effect of DEC wanes after little more than a week (Fig. (Fig.5 ).5 ). Thus, ivermectin is also an ideal treatment for dermal involvement.35) In addition to being perfectly tailor-made for Onchocerciasis, ivermectin has progressed to become a ‘wonder drug’ for other diseases too.

Effectiveness against other filarial diseases
Lymphatic Filariasis, also known as Elephantiasis, is another devastating, highly debilitating disease that threatens over 1 billion people in more than 80 countries. Over 120 million people are infected, 40 million of whom are seriously incapacitated and disfigured. The disease results from infection with filarial worms, Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi or B. timori. The parasites are transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito and develop into adult worms in the lymphatic vessels, causing severe damage and swelling (lymphoedema) (Fig. (Fig.6 ).6 ). Adult worms are responsible for the major disease manifestations, the most outwardly visible forms being painful, disfiguring swelling of the legs and genital organs (Fig. (Fig.7 ).7 ). The psychological and social stigma associated with the disease are immense, as are the economic and productivity losses it causes.

With respect to the use of ivermectin for Lymphatic filariasis, again Merck took the initial lead, with TDR being involved in organising, expanding and broadening the research and clinical trials. In the mid-1980s, well before ivermectin was approved for human use to treat onchocerciasis, Merck were also undertaking trials of ivermectin to measure its impact against lymphatic filariasis and to find optimal treatment dosages.36) Meanwhile, TDR was carrying out multi-centre field trials in Brazil, China, Haiti, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Sri Lanka and Tahiti to evaluate ivermectin, the existing treatment drug, DEC, and combinations of the two. The results showed that single-dose ivermectin and single-dose DEC worked as well as each other. The combination, even at low dose, proved even more effective, decreasing microfilarial density by 99% after one year and 96% after two years.20,37–39) DEC was also found to be effective in killing adult parasites.
Despite these findings, ivermectin remained unregistered for treatment of lymphatic filariasis for several years. Indeed it was not until 1998 that registration was forthcoming from the French authorities. Several years earlier another drug, albendazole, produced by SmithKlineBeecham (now GlaxoSmithKline – GSK) had also been shown to be effective in killing both immature and adult worms. Indeed, field trials had confirmed that once-yearly combinations of albendazole plus DEC or ivermectin were 99% effective in ridding the blood of microfilariae for at least a year after treatment. The primary goal of treating affected communities thus became elimination of microfilariae from the blood of infected individuals so that transmission of infection is interrupted. This opened up the prospect of actually eliminating the disease, something that was made eminently possible thanks to GSK agreeing to donate albendazole. In 1997, following advances in both diagnosis and treatment, WHO classified lymphatic filariasis as one of six “eradicable” or “potentially eradicable” infectious diseases and requested Member States to initiate steps to eliminate lymphatic filariasis as a public health problem.40) In late-1998, following registration of the drug for lymphatic filariasis, Merck extended its ivermectin donation programme to cover lymphatic filariasis in areas where it co-existed with Onchocerciasis. Subsequently, in 1999/2000, the WHO launched the Global Programme to Eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis (GPELF).
In summary, the vision of ivermectin as a potential drug for human onchocerciasis emanated from Merck’s research team. TDR facilitated the realisation of that vision though its initial recognition of the lack of an effective tool to identify potential anti-Onchocerca filaricides, its proactive engagement with pharmaceutical companies; its creation of and funding for animal model and screening systems; and by mobilizing and engaging its international network of researchers and institutions. TDR’s unique position as an international body with a mandate to coordinate research work and provide funds in tropical diseases facilitated and made possible the passage of Merck’s compound through to field use in Africa and elsewhere, allowing the foresight of Merck scientists and the enormous resources devoted by the company to result in immeasurable public health benefits.
Mode of action
Initially, researchers working on the development of ivermectin believed that it blocked neurotransmitters, acting on GABA-gated Cl− channels, exhibiting potent disruption at GABA receptors in invertebrates and mammals. GABA is recognised as the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the somatic neuromuscular system of nematodes. Subsequently, they discovered that it was in fact glutamate-gated Cl− channels (GUCl−) that were the target of ivermectin and related drugs. This discovery opened up a completely new spectrum of possibilities, as these channels, although playing fundamental roles in nematodes and insects, are not accessible in vertebrates.41–43) Ivermectin, while paralyzing body-wall and pharyngeal muscle in nematodes has no such impact in mammals, as it cannot cross the blood-brain barrier into the mammalian Central Nervous System, where GABA receptors are located. For a long time, it was believed that ivermectin was contra-indicated in children under the age of five or who weighed less than 5 kg, as there was a fear of neurotoxicity, the drug possibly being able to cross the as yet not fully developed blood/brain barrier. However, evidence has emerged that is probably not the case.44)
In the human body, ivermectin exerts a peculiar and singular effect that remains poorly understood. The immune response to filarial infection is complex, involving Th2-type systems which counter infective L3 larvae and microfilariae, whereas a combination of Th1 and Th2 pathways are involved in resisting adult worms. It is believed that female adult worms are able to manipulate the immunoregulatory environment, possibly via interleukin 10 (IL-10) levels, to ensure the survival of their microfilarial offspring.45) Ivermectin treatment of Onchocercal filarial infection causes the disappearance of microfilariae from the peripheral skin lymphatics. It does so relatively quickly and with long-lasting effect, while also inhibiting adult female worms from releasing additional microfilariae.46) Dermal microfilarial loads are generally reduced by 78% within two days, and by some 98% two weeks after treatment. They remain at extremely low levels for about 12 months, with 70% of female worms slowly resuming production of microfilaria 3–4 months after treatment, but at an irreversibly curtailed 35% of original production.47) Regular treatment consequently decreases incidence of infection, interrupts transmission and reduces morbidity and disability. However, the actual mechanism by which ivermectin exerts its effect on Onchocercal microfilariae remains unclear.48) In binding to GUCl−, ivermectin disrupts neurotransmission that is regulated via these channels in nematodes. But in culture, the drug has little direct effect on microfilariae when administered at pharmacologically relevant concentrations. It is now believed that the drug actually disrupts the fundamental host-parasite equilibrium. The half-life of ivermectin in humans is 12–36 hours, while metabolites may persist for up to three days. As lowest levels of dermal microfilariae occur well after this timeframe, it suggests that not all microfilariae affected by ivermectin are killed in the first few days. This is augmented by reports that microfilariae migrate into deeper dermal layers, sub-cutaneous fat, connective tissue and lymph nodes following administration of the drug.49) The prevailing school of thought is that ivermectin actually interferes with the ability of microfilariae to evade the human immune system, resulting in the host’s own immune response being able to overcome the immature worms and so kill them.50) Recently published research has indicated that GUCl− activity is solely expressed in musculature surrounding the microfilarial excretory–secretory (ES) vesicle, suggesting that any compound originating from the ES vesicle is regulated by the activity. The addition of ivermectin markedly reduces the amount of a protein (which is postulated to play a role in helping the parasite elude the host’s immune system) that is released from the ES in microfilariae.51) The growing body of evidence supports the theory that the rapid microfilarial clearance following ivermectin treatment results not from the direct impact of the drug but via suppression of the ability of the parasite to secrete proteins that enable it to evade the host’s natural immune defence mechanism.
Animal models have indicated conclusively that Th2 responses instil protective immunity against both L3 infective larvae and the microfilaria stage but that parasites are generally able to avoid these responses. This indicates that development of an effective vaccine may be possible, once a more comprehensive understanding of the process has been established.52) This overview may help explain the absence or comparatively slow development of drug resistance in the parasites in individuals, many of whom have been exposed to over 20 years of regular ivermectin treatment.
Drug resistance
Soon after its use became widespread in animal health, ivermectin resistance began to appear, at first in small ruminants but also, more significantly in cattle parasites, especially Cooperia spp.53) It is well known that high-level resistance to ivermectin appears in free-living Caenorhabditis elegans.54) Thankfully, despite 30 years of constant worldwide use, there have been no reports of resistance in canine heartworms or among equine Strongyloides parasites. More importantly, despite some 22 years of constant monotherapy in humans, no convincing evidence of resistance in Onchocerca volvulus has yet been found, although there are indications that resistance may be starting to develop and that resistant parasites are being selected.55,56)
New horizons
Ivermectin has continually proved to be astonishingly safe for human use. Indeed, it is such a safe drug, with minimal side effects, that it can be administered by non-medical staff and even illiterate individuals in remote rural communities, provided that they have had some very basic, appropriate training. This fact has helped contribute to the unsurpassed beneficial impact that the drug has had on human health and welfare around the globe, especially with regard to the campaign to fight Onchocerciasis.57)
Today, ivermectin is being increasingly used worldwide to combat other diseases in humans, such as Strongyloidiasis (which infects some 35 million each year), scabies (which causes 300 million cases annually), Pediculosis, Gnathostomiasis and Myiasis—and new and promising properties and uses for ivermectin and other avermectin derivatives are continuing to be found.58) These include activity against another neglected tropical disease, Leishmaniasis.59,60) Of perhaps even greater significance is the evidence that the use of ivermectin has both direct and indirect beneficial impact on improving community health. Studies of long-term treatment with ivermectin to control Onchocerciasis have shown that use of the drug is additionally associated with significant reduction in the prevalence of infection with any soil-transmitted helminth parasites (including Ascaris, Trichuris and hookworm), most or all of which are deemed to be major causes of the morbidity arising from poor childhood nutrition and growth.61) It is also known that the prevalence of head lice is markedly reduced in children taking ivermectin tablets62) and that scabies is markedly reduced in populations taking the drug regularly.63) Above all, ivermectin has proved to be a medicine of choice for the world’s rural poor. In many underprivileged communities throughout the tropics, intestinal worms and parasitic skin diseases are extremely common and associated with significant morbidity. They usually co-exist, with many individuals infected with both ecto- and endoparasites.64,65) Mass treatment of poly-parasitized populations is deemed to be the best means of control and ivermectin is the ideal drug for such interventions. A recent study in Brazil, using locally produced ivermectin, looked at the impact on internal helminthes and parasitic skin diseases. The researchers concluded that “mass treatment with ivermectin was an effective and safe means of reducing the prevalence of most of the parasitic diseases prevalent in a poor community in North-East Brazil. The effects of treatment lasted for a prolonged period of time”. This study also represented the first published report of human medical intervention using ivermectin that had not been produced by the hitherto traditional manufacturer, Merck & Co. Inc., the patent on the drug expiring in 1997.66)
In reality, the renewed interest in fighting tropical diseases, including the involvement of the pharmaceutical industry, which has become increasingly evident over the past three decades, and which has saved lives and improved the welfare of billions of people, notably the poor and disadvantaged in the topics, can be traced back to the 1987 introduction of ivermectin for use in humans. According to a recent report, International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers & Associations (IFPMA) data show that the global pharmaceutical industry provided over $9.2 billion in health interventions (medicines and equipment) between 2000–2007 alone, benefitting 1.75 billion people worldwide.67) The hitherto unprecedented donation of ivermectin in 1987 can rightly be seen to be the origin of this philanthropic outpouring.
Since the inception of the Mectizan Donation Programme, Merck has donated well over 2.5 billion Mectizan® tablets for Onchocerciasis treatment, with in excess of 700 million treatments authorised. Currently, some 80–90 million people are taking the drug annually through MDA in Africa, Latin America and Yemen. A further 300 million total treatments have been approved for lymphatic filariasis, with around 90 million treatments being administered annually (Fig. (Fig.8 ).8 ). At present 33 countries are receiving ivermectin for Onchocerciasis and 15 for Lymphatic filariasis. Consequently, around US$4 billion worth of ivermectin tablets have been donated to date. In 2010, Ecuador became the second country in the Americas to halt River Blindness transmission. It is hoped that transmission of the disease in the Western hemisphere will be stopped by 2012—a goal that will have been achieved thanks to twice-yearly MDA with ivermectin. Lymphatic filariasis is targeted for global elimination by 2020, and, if all goes well, Onchocerciasis may well be eliminated from Africa soon thereafter.

Trend in ivermectin treatments approved (1988–2008).
It has, thus far, been a long and eventful journey from ivermectin’s origins in Japanese soil. Fortunately, and contrary to the position seen with most antibiotics, despite several decades of monotherapy and occasional suboptimal responses observed in some individuals, there is no conclusive evidence that drug resistance is developing in human Onchocercal parasites. Not surprisingly, public health specialists worldwide are now calling for greater and more extensive use of ivermectin,68) labelling MDA of the ‘wonder drug’ quite simply as “an underutilized public health strategy”. In response, the Kitasato Institute has initiated a global collaboration to investigate all properties and potential of a range of ivermectin analogues, both individually and in combination, particularly with a view to having a ready-made alternative should resistance to current ivermectin monotherapy ever threaten ongoing disease elimination campaigns.

thats incredible,a microorganism found only once! has given us this amazing medicine... wow
—originating solely from a single microorganism isolated at the Kitasato Intitute, Tokyo, Japan from Japanese soil—
Despite decades of searching around the world, the Japanese microorganism remains the only source of avermectin ever found...

Not to lessen the very incredible luck it took to find this medicine, but I have heard there are now two other sources with similar effect - not sure if they are the same chemically or only related.
Try as I may I cannot bring up any more information from memory. Was one source China, maybe?

One's a bland, sort of apple flavored paste, and the other's a pill. I use and store which ever I can get most easily and economically. The active ingredient, Ivermectin, is the same, so far as I can tell.

Just a quick question on the horse paste ivermectin. I got 4 tunes of it recently. It contains as Active Substance -
Ivermectin 18.7 mg/g
Praziquantel 140.3 mg/g
Then there's a heading called Excipient -
Titanium Dioxide (E171) 20mg/g.
I was going to take some as a once off parasite treatment (just as a cleanse) but I'm not sure about the Titanium Dioxide. Thinking maybe i should just keep the tubes of paste only as an emergency. I did a bit of internet searching on Titanium Dioxide and the levels of 20mg/g but not much shows up, other than the EU is going to ban it as a food additive.
Would anyone know if Titanium Dioxide at 20mg/g is relatively harmless? My thinking is there'd not be much point in doing a "cleanse" if i'm also damaging myself. Thanks!

Don't know what this was about and will NOT get tested but IMO IVM COULD be a universal panacea for "viral" illness or whatever we think IS a viral illness?
I had that very same thought a few months ago :highfive:
Could even something as well practised as reflexology also be tried I wonder? I can attest to its efficacy from direct personal treatment.

One of the posts I read concerning a doctor viewing through the microscope a biological entity with a human looking face and legs like a spider seemed conscious of the scientist viewing it. The scientist said that trillions of these things come in the mRNA Kill Shot, and will travel to every organ of your body. Therefore, would a SYSTEMIC WORMER such as ALBENDIZOL successfully kill off these parasites (which is what they are)?It's not a completely crazy idea, and I've wondered the same thing myself. Interestingly, as we all know, Ivermectin is also a de-wormer, as is Nitazoxanide (https://www.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov/therapies/antiviral-therapy/nitazoxanide/), recommended by the FLCCC as part of their intensive treatment protocol for covid. See the PDF (https://covid19criticalcare.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/FLCCC-Alliance-I-MASKplus-Protocol-ENGLISH.pdf), where it says:
lvermectin: 0.4–0.6 mg/kg per dose (take with or after a meal) — one dose daily, take for 5 days or until recovered.Use upper dose if: 1) in regions with aggressive variants (e.g. Delta); 2) treatment started on or after day 5 of symptoms or in pulmonary phase; or 3) multiple comorbidities/risk factors.
and/or
Nitazoxanide 500 mg 2 x daily for 5 days after meals. Combine with ivermectin (preferred) or substitute if ivermectin is not available. (Nitazoxanide is often unavailable or high-priced in the USA.)
The PDF states that "Nitazoxanide is often unavailable or high-priced in the USA", though it is FDA-approved. Interestingly, it's freely available over-the-counter in Ecuador as an antiparasitic agent (as is Albendazole) very cheaply, at just $5/packet.
(I have to say, personally I do NOT fully understand why some de-worming agents also seem to be effective antivirals!)
Bill, According to Samildamach account he took 12mg tablets when he had covid, he is 87 kg and the dosage works for him. from your numbers the correct dosage for him should be 43.5 mg. That's a huge difference Am I missing something?

Bill, According to Samildamach account he took 12mg tablets when he had covid, he is 87 kg and the dosage works for him. from your numbers the correct dosage for him should be 43.5 mg. That's a huge difference Am I missing something?Yes, it's interesting. For reference, this is what samildamach (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/member.php?26591-samildamach) reported:
One 12 mg tablet for weight up to 84 kg and I am 87 kg. Within 24 hrs blood oxygen was 94, temp 38 feeling better. Second tablet oxygen 96 temp normal and feeling normal.i I carried on for five days in total with improvement each day. I am completely fine and energy levels back to normal.My only comment is that the numbers I quoted (yes, more than 12mg/day!) came from the FLCCC protocols (https://covid19criticalcare.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/FLCCC-Alliance-I-MASKplus-Protocol-ENGLISH.pdf). But there's anecdotal evidence that if one acts fast, Ivermectin works (or can work) so well and quickly that sometimes very little is needed. And if one has mild symptoms, one might not even have to take a 5 day course... just a day or two might do the job.
There's a ton and a half of evidence that Ivermectin is very very safe even in quite large doses (see this excellent Chris Martenson video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATiX0-2PEr4), for instance, citing all the research), so my pure guess is that the FLCCC might have erred on the side of caution by maybe recommending a little more than might often be needed. If samldamach kicked his problem quickly with just 1x 12mg/day, then it's simply good news for everyone to note.

We can expect the animal version to be adulterated very soon to produce "effects" in humans that probably WILL be dangerous. Or it will be only available through a veterinarian...
They will close any loopholes as fast as we can find them!
MMS is still pretty easy to make I would have that as a backup.
At issue here is that we are not dealing with just one vector of transmission NOR are we dealing with "just" Covid. " It has been observed that it is no more harmful than a cold. That is a lie, the ACTUAL Covid or whatever it is in my opinion is real...and deadly. Prepare for that.
What is MUCH more challenging are the bioweapons in the vaccines such as graphene, nano particles, Mrna recoding etc etc. We are however finding good, safe and effective treatments. AND the vaxxed ARE shedding!
I cannot help but consider that this is a means to identify alt treatments, researechers, practitioners.......essentially the "resistors" to the "plan" Once this is completed those people and all vocal people will be CLEARLY identified and silenced or removed from play...I believe an HCQ producing factories burned down this year and the owners of one of the world's largest generic drug manufactures was murdered with his wife in the most bizarre story in Canadian history. We know the inane number of biologists and doctors that "suicided" themselves in irrational almost incomprehensible ways...many were working on GCmaf....

Medical practitioners and researchers who gain traction in opposing childhood vaccines on the grounds that they cause diseases such as autism have been at risk of premature death for many years.

This source is an Indian pharmaceutical company. With fees and shipping, my cost came to under 20¢ per dose. Super cheap, and it is the real deal, in 12mg doses.
The issue with ivm made for animals, is that it may contain "inactive ingredients" which are not made for human consumption. Overdosing on ivm is not really a thing, but getting too much of some inert ingredient made for some other animal could be.

We can expect the animal version to be adulterated very soon to produce "effects" in humans that probably WILL be dangerous. Or it will be only available through a veterinarian...
They will close any loopholes as fast as we can find them!
MMS is still pretty easy to make I would have that as a backup.
At issue here is that we are not dealing with just one vector of transmission NOR are we dealing with "just" Covid. " It has been observed that it is no more harmful than a cold. That is a lie, the ACTUAL Covid or whatever it is in my opinion is real...and deadly. Prepare for that.
What is MUCH more challenging are the bioweapons in the vaccines such as graphene, nano particles, Mrna recoding etc etc. We are however finding good, safe and effective treatments. AND the vaxxed ARE shedding!
I cannot help but consider that this is a means to identify alt treatments, researechers, practitioners.......essentially the "resistors" to the "plan" Once this is completed those people and all vocal people will be CLEARLY identified and silenced or removed from play...I believe an HCQ producing factories burned down this year and the owners of one of the world's largest generic drug manufactures was murdered with his wife in the most bizarre story in Canadian history. We know the inane number of biologists and doctors that "suicided" themselves in irrational almost incomprehensible ways...many were working on GCmaf....
One thing about evil is it is pretty good at planning now....or is that their AI?
Those are good points to make (above).
Just noticed that amazon lists prescription (human) IVM as available from their pharmacy. I haven't seen that in the past. Maybe I missed it. I used a Utah server so maybe other US states don't show it available. Just need a kind doctor to write a prescription.
Have been searching safety data sheets for all brands of animal IVM and all of them so far list unwanted and unknown ingredients. Merial brand zimectrin (for horses) contains all the usual junk, including titanium dioxide. The Durvet brand contains three proprietary ingredients with no info on them whatsoever. Titanium dioxide is nothing but a coloring agent or anti-caking agent when used in foods. Yes, the EU is in the process of investigating and banning it's use in human foods. Problems uncovered in research papers focus mostly on nanoparticles of titanium dioxide. The FDA does not require disclosure of how many or how much aluminum or other contaminants that bind to the titanium dioxide product that's allowed in food. Maybe human titanium dioxide is purer than what's used in animal products? Probably not, though.
Thankfully Dunkin Donuts has taken the stuff out of their hugely toxic junk food.
If our sole intake of titanium dioxide is from animal IVM preparations then there will be no harm done. After all, you're not sucking down entire tubes of horse paste in one sitting.
It's doubtful that any animal IVM preparation is going to be better than another. At least some safety data sheets show actual ingredients rather than blank spaces labeled 'proprietary.'
This was copied from wikipedia:
Praziquantel, sold under the brandname Biltricide among others, is a medication used to treat a number of types of parasitic worm infections in mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles, and fish. In humans specifically, it is used to treat schistosomiasis, clonorchiasis, opisthorchiasis, tapeworm infections, cysticercosis, hydatid disease, and other fluke infections. It should not be used for worm infections of the eye. It is taken by mouth.
Probably best to stay away from IVM preparations that contain this stuff simply because it's not needed? But it is used in humans.
I've seen a number of news articles in the past week that report US customs blocking shipments of pharmaceuticals at the border.
Love Joe Rogan for jumping on CNN's Sanjay Gupta for smearing prescribed IVM in the media.
Anyone remember when CNN was known as Chicken Noodle News?

FYI regarding chlorine dioxide
(original source: https://naturalnews.com/2021-09-10-chlorine-dioxide-mms-blocks-covid-spike-proteins.html)
New study proves that chlorine dioxide (MMS) blocks SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins from binding with human receptors
Posted on September 13, 2021 by Editor
Japanese researchers have confirmed that chlorine dioxide, also known as Miracle Mineral Solution or MMS, is a safe and effective remedy for the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19).
A paper published in the journal Annals of Pharmacology and Pharmaceutics explains how MMS blocks the spike proteins associated with SARS-CoV-2 that are said to bind with human receptors such as Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2), allowing disease to form.
“Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) is a powerful disinfectant that is known to inactivate both viruses and bacteria,” the study’s abstract reveals.
The stated purpose of the study was to see if chlorine dioxide directly inhibits the binding of the Chinese Virus Spike protein (S protein) to ACE2 receptors. The team conducted in vitro experiments with the British and South African “variants” of the Fauci Flu.
“Spike protein coated onto a microtiter plate was treated with chlorine dioxide aqueous solution or chlorine dioxide spray solution,” the study explains.
In the end, what they found is that MMS does, in fact, inactivate the binding of covid variant spike proteins to the human ACE2 receptor protein, “indicating that this strategy may be useful in blocking the transmission of variant SARS-CoV-2 viruses.”
Can chlorine dioxide protect your cells against a spike protein invasion?
Since we now know that the variants are being spread by the “vaccines,” and thus also by the “vaccinated,” chlorine dioxide could help the “unvaccinated” to protect themselves against infection.
It may also be useful in helping the vaccinated and those who test “positive” for the China Virus to rid themselves of spike proteins by preventing them from attaching to ACE2 receptors.
Much more study is likely needed to determine whether or not this applies to people who took the mRNA injections (Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna), as these shots program human cells to continue producing spike proteins constantly.
For everyone else, taking MMS could provide a shield of protection against the type of spike protein damage that is causing some people to suffer cardiovascular events or worse.
“The powerful disinfection action of CD (chlorine dioxide) against microbes is due to its strong oxidizing activity against proteins,” the study explains. “Moreover, safe and permissible concentrations of CD have been well documented.”
Covid spike proteins do not like chlorine dioxide, which blocks them from damaging the body
For their experiments, the team sprayed a 50 ?L aliquot of chlorine dioxide or chlorine dioxide spray solution diluted to the appropriate concentration onto microtiter plates containing purified Receptor-Binding Domain (RBD) spike proteins. The solutions were then incubated at 25ºC for 5 minutes.
Next, a 20 ?L aliquot of 10 mmol/L sodium thiosulfate in Blocking Buffer 2 was added to terminate the reaction of chlorine dioxide with the spike proteins. This rapidly converted the chlorine dioxide to ClO2-, causing it to become unreactive.
Then, a 35 ?L aliquot of biotin-labeled ACE2 diluted to 1.5 ?g/mL by Blocking Buffer 2 was added to the solution, while a biotin-labeled ACE2 was bound to streptavidin-labeled horseradish peroxidase and detected using a substrate of horseradish peroxidase.
After one minute, a luminometer was used to measure the chemiluminescence signal emitted from the solution, which was assayed in four different wells due to the intensity fluctuation of the chemiluminescence.
Upon analysis, it was determined that the intensity of the binding of human ACE2 protein to covid spike RBD decreased as a result of chlorine dioxide. The higher the concentration of chlorine dioxide, the fewer spike protein binding events were observed.
Put more simply, coronavirus spike proteins do not like chlorine dioxide. And since chlorine dioxide has been proven to be a safe and effective remedy for a variety of ailments, there is no reason why it should not at least be considered as a potential option in the fight against covid.
Just like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, the government does not want you using chlorine dioxide to protect yourself against covid
Dr. Manuel Aparicio told The New American in an interview back in the summer all about chlorine dioxide and its potential use as a treatment for the Chinese Virus.
Back during the early days of the plandemic, the Sacramento Regional Transit District was using chlorine dioxide to clean its buses, further demonstrating its external use as a weapon against the Wuhan Flu.
For many years, chlorine dioxide has also been used as a treatment for autism. Kerri Rivera, a homeopathic doctor, has seen noteworthy success using it as a biomedical protocol to help autistic children regain normalcy in their lives.
“I started researching and [found that] it destroys viruses, bacteria, candida, parasites, reduces overall body inflammation, and neutralizes heavy metals, so I’m all in, [because] that’s what autism is,” Rivera told the Health Ranger in an interview.
There are so many beneficial uses for MMS that it would be a crime not to allow people to have access to it. Thankfully, it is not a prescription-only drug like hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and ivermectin, so it remains easily accessible as a dietary supplement.
Check it out for yourself to see if chlorine dioxide might be a helpful addition to your health arsenal. And be sure to tell others about it so they, too, can keep themselves protected against covid spike proteins, especially now that the “fully vaccinated” spike protein “factories” are potentially spreading them all around us.

Now that marburg is on its way, is it really marburg?
Like hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin is a zinc ionosphore. It helps zinc get past the cell membrane where it will interfere with viral replication. It is also reported in vitro to bind the spike protiens of sars-cov-2. There are other mechanisms of activity which are speculated upon, but as this is an organic molecule modeled after something which nature (bacteria) created, it may have many undiscovered utilities beyond its anti parasitic and antiviral properties.

I would not say that, I was speaking to what is established science. There is a lot of speculation as to other modes by which it operates, but this speculation does not amount to well funded research, which is needed. We do know that when used alongside zinc, certain steroids, certain anti-inflammitory drugs, that the outcomes of mild to severe covid cases tend to be positive the vast majority of the time.
Taking zinc along with any ionosphore has long been established as an effective phrophylaxis against viruses in general.

Ivermectin is getting difficult to find. It could be gone for good depending on how much stock is out there. I wonder if wormwood or mugwort will do the job

Here is some interesting information on wormwood.

Wonders of Wormwood
Wormwood. To those who are unfamiliar with this herb, it doesn’t conjure up a pretty picture does it? Either you think of some of rotting hunk of wood full of worms, or you just get the heebie-jeebies from anything you might put in your body with the word “worm” attached to it. However, wormwood is a valued herb, and you may find it to be one of your biggest allies, especially if you travel or have been exposed to parasites—and like it or not, most all of us have been exposed to parasites, at one point or another.
Yikes! Parasites?
A parasite is a general term for any organism that can live off another living organism. Parasites can be anything from pin worms or tapeworms, to something so small it takes a microscope to view, like any type of fungal infection, protozoa or amoeba. So even things like food poisoning can often result in an intestinal parasite taking up residence in your body. And, if you’ve ever traveled (especially to Latin American or South America), you may have had to deal with a bout of ‘intestinal distress’ which is often caused from a giardia infection—a protozoan parasite that often gets into water and food supplies. Giardia is actually very common in the United States as well, especially in our rivers and streams. Other common parasites can come from undercooked meat, sushi, soil or unclean water, and even spread from person to person. If you’ve ever had food poisoning, you know what parasites are.
General symptoms of a parasitic infection often include fever, aches, nausea, fatigue, stomach pains, bloating, and diarrhea. While our bodies can sometimes fight off an intestinal parasitic infection, it can take up to 6-8 weeks of being entirely miserable, and never straying far from the bathroom. And some can take up residence in our bodies indefinitely! Conventional medicine has several medications for different types of parasitic infections that often include some type of antibiotic, which also kill off all the helpful, protective bacteria in our guts.
How Can Wormwood Help?
Wormwood, or Artemisia absinthium as it is officially called, is of the same plant family as daisies and ragweed. Wormwood is an herb that has been around since Biblical times, and is best known as the primary ingredient in Absinthe, an alcoholic beverage. Absinthe was outlawed for many years in the U.S. because it is considered toxic, addictive, and can cause hallucinations, but wormwood is still allowed as an herbal supplement. Wormwood contains a volatile chemical compound called, “thujone” which is concentrated in the alcoholic liquor, absinthe, and is responsible for the toxic reactions to it. When using wormwood for therapeutic uses, it contains little if any, thujone, so is not toxic, but only take as directed, and in smaller doses.
Eliminates Parasites
Wormwood, as it is aptly named, is extremely effective for intestinal parasites. It works especially well on intestinal worms like the common pinworm and roundworms. Pinworms are a very common infection, especially in small children (but check with your physician before giving wormwood to children). Wormwood also works well to eliminate bacterial infections such as E.coli, salmonella, and even fungi like candida albicans. Wormwood often comes in combination with black walnut, and clove extract, which all work together to be highly effective against all parts of the parasite life cycle. Since wormwood is so effective at killing pathogenic bacteria such as salmonella, E.coli, as well as parasitic organisms such as giardia, it is no surprise that wormwood is an effective treatment for SIBO, or small intestine bacterial overgrowth as well.
Stops Malaria
Malaria is a very serious disease also caused by a parasite that gets into our bloodstream from the bite of an infected mosquito. People who contract malaria from a mosquito bite can be seriously ill. And unfortunately, anti-malarial drugs have a lot of side effects, both on the preventative side and the therapeutic side.
Artemisinin is one of the extracts that is taken from the Artemesia or wormwood plant that is highly effective against malaria. This substance is known as one of the most powerful antimalarials there is. It is even acknowledged by the World Health Organization as being a powerful antimalarial for P.falciparum malaria, and recommends it as a first line of defense.
Artemesinin turns deadly when in the presence of iron. Recent experiments show artemisinin is effective against the malaria parasite because it reacts with higher levels of iron in the parasite to produce free radicals. The free radicals then destroy the cell walls of the malaria parasite.
Cancer Killer
Wormwood’s active ingredient, Artemisinin, has also been shown in studies to actually be effective on certain types of cancer, including breast cancer and prostate cancer. Artemesinin works in a similar way with cancer cells and iron. Cancer cells often feed on iron present in the body, and the greater the iron content, the more Artemesisin interacts with the cell to kill it.
Certain cancer cells can be loaded with iron, and Artemisinin interacts with the iron to break down the cancer cells and kill them. In a 2012 study on breast cancer cells and normal breast cells using Artemisinin, the breast cancer cells all died, leaving behind healthy normal cells.
Anti-Inflammatory
Wormwood is also highly effective at decreasing the inflammation and discomfort associated with Crohn’s disease, to the point where the patients did not need to take their normal dosage of steroids. Researchers also found a steady improvement in symptoms and 65% went into complete remission over the placebo group. Wormwood also showed to have positive effects on mood and quality of life, and none of the side effects of steroids.
Wormwood is also valuable as relaxation agent as a calming agent and to promote restful sleep. It also reduces inflammation, swelling, and pain, as well as being extremely useful for autoimmune disease. It also functions as a highly effective antibacterial agent, for internal intestinal issues, as well as external wounds, ulcers, and rashes. And unlike conventional antibiotic agents and medications, bacteria and parasites do not usually develop resistance to this powerful natural healing substance.
Wormwood is generally found fresh or dried, essential oil, tablets, and capsules from most health food stores. It can also be used in fresh or dry form to make an infusion or tea. It’s best in its dried form as it contains very little of the toxic substance, thujone. Wormwood tea is especially help for digestion and bloating. You can also make a homemade bitters recipe, like this one. Wormwood is often found in combinations with black walnut extract and cloves as a parasitic cleansing agent. To rid oneself of parasites, its best in a pill or capsule form.
Since wormwood is a relative of the daisy and ragweed family, caution if you are allergic or sensitive to ragweed pollen—you may be sensitive to wormwood as well. Wormwood should be taken under the supervision of a professional, and not taken for more than four weeks at a time. It is not meant for long term usage. Do not take if pregnant or nursing, or if you have epilepsy or seizures. And avoid using it as an essential oil in aromatherapy as it contains high amounts of the toxic ingredient thujone which can act as a neurotoxin.

Absinthe was outlawed for many years in the U.S. because it is considered toxic, addictive, and can cause hallucinations, but wormwood is still allowed as an herbal supplement. Wormwood contains a volatile chemical compound called, “thujone” which is concentrated in the alcoholic liquor, absinthe, and is responsible for the toxic reactions to it. When using wormwood for therapeutic uses, it contains little if any, thujone, so is not toxic, but only take as directed, and in smaller doses.
Eliminates Parasites
Wormwood, as it is aptly named, is extremely effective for intestinal parasites. It works especially well on intestinal worms like the common pinworm and roundworms. Pinworms are a very common infection, especially in small children (but check with your physician before giving wormwood to children). Wormwood also works well to eliminate bacterial infections such as E.coli, salmonella, and even fungi like candida albicans. Wormwood often comes in combination with black walnut, and clove extract, which all work together to be highly effective against all parts of the parasite life cycle. Since wormwood is so effective at killing pathogenic bacteria such as salmonella, E.coli, as well as parasitic organisms such as giardia, it is no surprise that wormwood is an effective treatment for SIBO, or small intestine bacterial overgrowth as well.
Stops Malaria
Malaria is a very serious disease also caused by a parasite that gets into our bloodstream from the bite of an infected mosquito. People who contract malaria from a mosquito bite can be seriously ill. And unfortunately, anti-malarial drugs have a lot of side effects, both on the preventative side and the therapeutic side.
Artemisinin is one of the extracts that is taken from the Artemesia or wormwood plant that is highly effective against malaria. This substance is known as one of the most powerful antimalarials there is. It is even acknowledged by the World Health Organization as being a powerful antimalarial for P.falciparum malaria, and recommends it as a first line of defense.
Artemesinin turns deadly when in the presence of iron. Recent experiments show artemisinin is effective against the malaria parasite because it reacts with higher levels of iron in the parasite to produce free radicals. The free radicals then destroy the cell walls of the malaria parasite.
Cancer Killer
Wormwood’s active ingredient, Artemisinin, has also been shown in studies to actually be effective on certain types of cancer, including breast cancer and prostate cancer. Artemesinin works in a similar way with cancer cells and iron. Cancer cells often feed on iron present in the body, and the greater the iron content, the more Artemesisin interacts with the cell to kill it.
Certain cancer cells can be loaded with iron, and Artemisinin interacts with the iron to break down the cancer cells and kill them. In a 2012 study on breast cancer cells and normal breast cells using Artemisinin, the breast cancer cells all died, leaving behind healthy normal cells.
Anti-Inflammatory
Wormwood is also highly effective at decreasing the inflammation and discomfort associated with Crohn’s disease, to the point where the patients did not need to take their normal dosage of steroids. Researchers also found a steady improvement in symptoms and 65% went into complete remission over the placebo group. Wormwood also showed to have positive effects on mood and quality of life, and none of the side effects of steroids.
Wormwood is also valuable as relaxation agent as a calming agent and to promote restful sleep. It also reduces inflammation, swelling, and pain, as well as being extremely useful for autoimmune disease. It also functions as a highly effective antibacterial agent, for internal intestinal issues, as well as external wounds, ulcers, and rashes. And unlike conventional antibiotic agents and medications, bacteria and parasites do not usually develop resistance to this powerful natural healing substance.
Wormwood is generally found fresh or dried, essential oil, tablets, and capsules from most health food stores. It can also be used in fresh or dry form to make an infusion or tea. It’s best in its dried form as it contains very little of the toxic substance, thujone. Wormwood tea is especially help for digestion and bloating. You can also make a homemade bitters recipe, like this one. Wormwood is often found in combinations with black walnut extract and cloves as a parasitic cleansing agent. To rid oneself of parasites, its best in a pill or capsule form.
Since wormwood is a relative of the daisy and ragweed family, caution if you are allergic or sensitive to ragweed pollen—you may be sensitive to wormwood as well. Wormwood should be taken under the supervision of a professional, and not taken for more than four weeks at a time. It is not meant for long term usage. Do not take if pregnant or nursing, or if you have epilepsy or seizures. And avoid using it as an essential oil in aromatherapy as it contains high amounts of the toxic ingredient thujone which can act as a neurotoxin.

It's interesting that I have found several antiparasitic medications or preparations that claim to have anti cancer qualities.
wow interesting. thanks Pam I will definitely try this. Its all over the place.
I have wanted to give it a go as well. It is an old Amish treatment. I think I have hesitant because I am weirded out by parasites. But really, what is worse having them inside your body or in a toilet bowl.:blushing: I think you have given me the incentive to give it a go.

Out of curiosity, Why are we talking of curing covid with ivermectin when cv19 belongs to the family of corona (not deadly) which affects the lungs. while ivermectin is an anti parasitic?
Is this deadly virus not a corona? And they are lying just as normally? logically they should, because if you want to kill people with a virus/bacteria you should not tell them what it is lest they can counter it.
Now that marburg is on its way, is it really marburg?
Like hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin is a zinc ionosphore. It helps zinc get past the cell membrane where it will interfere with viral replication. It is also reported in vitro to bind the spike protiens of sars-cov-2. There are other mechanisms of activity which are speculated upon, but as this is an organic molecule modeled after something which nature (bacteria) created, it may have many undiscovered utilities beyond its anti parasitic and antiviral properties.Yes, that's an excellent summary. :thumbsup: Ivermectin is a known and proven antiviral — not just an antiparasitic. And re zinc (and also quercetin, Vitamin D3, and other helpful factors), all these things work synergistically together against any virus, not just Sars-CoV-2.

What utter wicked hypocrisy... politicians in Congress collude to stop Ivermectin getting out to the public to save lives - but secretly use it themselves... I wish I could say it was unbelievable but unfortunately it is totally believable :( - so they don't have to get the dodgy jab and they make sure they (and their families) have Ivermectin...
These people are beyond the pale and I expect it's the same with other Western Governments who are oppressing the General Population and putting their lives at risk with dangerous 'vaccines'......

Two Separate Doctors Claim OVER 100 Members of Congress Treated With Ivermectin! ( So with congress, senate, judicial branch, all staff members, CDC staff, FDA staff, Illegal aliens, Phizer employees, Moderna employees, and I have heard 8 million chinese here on visas ALL being exempt from the experimental shot , this makes all the sense in the world , right???????? )
We’ve been reporting on Ivermectin a lot recently.
It is a safe and proven treatment for a variety of ailments, including COVID-19.
Ivermectin even earned a Nobel Peace prize in 2015!
The MSM continues to lie about the safety and effectiveness of treating COVID-19 with Ivermectin, and the medical complex makes it hard to get a prescription.
Trending: THREE Ohio Judges Die Suddenly Within Two Weeks After Vaccine Mandate!
Would our government lie about the success of a drug while mandating us to receive a “vaccine,” only to take the drug in secret to combat a virus?
It seems like something out of a sci-fi movie, only it pertains to our Congress members taking Ivermectin to treat COVID-19.
Two physicians known for treating COVID-19 with Ivermectin have come out with statements saying that over 100 members of Congress were treated with Ivermectin.
The first physician is Dr. Pierre Kory, from the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance.
He took to Twitter to share the news that between 100-200 United States Congress members (plus many of their staffers and family members) with COVID-19 received Ivermectin as treatment.
Fun fact: Between 100-200 United States Congress Members (plus many of their staffers & family members) with COVID.. were treated by a colleague over the past 15 months with ivermectin & the I-MASK+ protocol at https://t.co/OvU8SLfLJq. None have gone to hospital. Just sayin'
— Pierre Kory, MD MPA (@PierreKory) October 8, 2021
To all the comments asking for sources/names for the below:
1) This came from a highly credible source inside Congress who has asked to remain anonymous
2) I would never divulge the medical treatments of individual members, nor do I know them myself
I fully stand by this tweet. https://t.co/Vt6UJ2K7sT
— Pierre Kory, MD MPA (@PierreKory) October 8, 2021
Dr. Simone Gold echoed Kory’s statement.
Gold is the founder of America’s Frontline Doctors.
I can confirm this is true. A number of elected officials have reached out to me over the last year and requested this treatment. https://t.co/Cc42OHKZxl
— Dr. Simone Gold (@drsimonegold) October 11, 2021
She is also a lawyer and mother committed to helping all receive Ivermectin as a treatment for COVID-19.
Dr. Gold even launched a lawsuit to help those denied Ivermectin as a treatment option for COVID-19.
BREAKING: America’s Frontline Doctors is seeking plaintiffs who have had their pharmacist refuse to fill their valid prescription for hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin.

Ivermectin works, and America’s top physicians know it successfully treats COVID-19.
At the same time, our government condemns Ivermectin but gets caught using it as treatment.
A perfect case of do as I say, not as I do!
Or rules for thee but not for me.
Why would Congress members take Ivermectin to treat COVID-19 if it wasn’t “safe and effective?”
Don’t fall for the misinformation out there. 🛑
Animal drugs are often highly concentrated because they are used for large animals like 🐴 and 🐮, which weigh a lot more than we do.
Such high doses can be highly toxic in humans.

Hopefully, some of these members of Congress will speak to the benefits of treating their COVID-19 case with Ivermectin.
So far, three Alaskan GOP lawmakers have come out to support Ivermectin in treating COVID-19 for their residents.
Shelley Hughes, Chris Kurka, and Kevin McCabe are asking Governor Mike Dunleavy and the state health commissioner to supply Alaskans with vitamins and drugs like Ivermectin.
Senate Majority Leader Shelley Hughes says that some Alaskan physicians prescribe Ivermectin, but pharmacies aren’t filling.
Alaska GOP politicians (Shelley Hughes, Chris Kurka, Kevin McCabe) are lobbying the governor and Alaska pharmacy board for easier access to ivermectin:https://t.co/bxgsoCiVF7 #AKleg
— Nat Herz (@Nat_Herz) October 12, 2021
The three Alaskan GOP lawmakers recently testified about Ivermectin at a state pharmacy board meeting, hoping to improve Alaskans’ access to Ivermectin.
Rep. McCabe mentioned that pharmacists should allow doctors to “actually be doctors and do their jobs.”
McCabe testified that he thinks the patient and the doctor should be the ones to decide.
AP News has more on the story:
The board’s chair, Justin Ruffridge, a Kenai Peninsula pharmacist, in a letter to the House members after the meeting noted potential legal liability for pharmacists for drugs they dispense and said pharmacists were free to use their “professional judgment” when deciding whether to fill prescriptions.
He said the board has not threatened pharmacists’ licenses around the issue but said reports of misuse of ivermectin to treat COVID-19 “should give most prescribers and pharmacists reason to pause.”
Ivermectin is approved to treat certain infections caused by parasites in people. Some vaccine skeptics have championed its use around COVID-19.
“Anyone who claims to be creating medical guidance and they don’t have vaccine as their No. 1 recommended tool are pushing misinformation,” said Coleman Cutchins, a state pharmacist. “Vaccine is our No. 1 drug for the prevention of severe disease from this virus.”
The National Institutes of Health has said there is “insufficient evidence for the COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines Panel to recommend either for or against the use of ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19. Results from adequately powered, well-designed and well-conducted clinical trials are needed to provide more specific, evidence-based guidance on the role of ivermectin in the treatment of COVID-19.”
People nonetheless have sought access.
During the recent pharmacy board meeting, Rep. Ken McCarty of Chugiak expressed concern about “making sure that our state has all the medications necessary.” Rep. Christopher Kurka of Wasilla told board members that “we should allow doctors the freedom, if they’re using good clinical judgment, to treat their patients.”
McCabe said he’s heard from doctors, physician assistants and nurses in his district who are frustrated “when they issue a prescription and the pharmacy will not fill it because it’s ivermectin.”
Let’s hope more politicians join Alaska to make Ivermectin available to all.
Ivermectin is also having remarkable success in treating COVID patients as a cure and a prophylactic. It is safer than Tylenol and has been dispensed about 4 billion times, killing threadworm (infection with a type of roundworm that enters the body through the skin and lives in the intestines) and curing other diseases. Additionally, it is 86% effective as a prophylactic for COVID-19. Because it is used for other diseases is no reason not to use it to save COVID-infected people.
Satoshi Ōmura and William C. Campbell were awarded the Nobel Prize for discovering ivermectin in 2015.
“Ivermectin works. I’ve seen that in my patients. Ivermectin can really be the game-changer against COVID-19. It’s safe, it’s cheap, and it works,” declared Dr. Alessandro Santin of the Yale School of Medicine.
Yale, you know, the little school in New Haven.
Paul Marik, M.D., Chief of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Eastern Virginia Medical School, asserted, “Ivermectin for COVID-19 is effective and has been given to us on a silver platter. It can completely change the history of this disease. Ivermectin is one of the safest medicines you can give a human being. It has been in use for 40 years and is on WHO’s list of essential medications.”
Many countries are now using ivermectin against COVID-19; fifteen of them country-wide with official endorsement according to the British Ivermectin Recommendation Development (BIRD) panel, March 25, 2021. Yet, U.S. health officials ridicule ivermectin as a “horse dewormer” as they seek to hawk their hastily produced experimental vaccines. Interestingly, over 100 members of Congress treated Covid 19 with ivermectin!
I have always thought most of Congress needed deworming, but I never expected it to happen. It’s also interesting that they have no trouble getting the drug, and you and I must almost bully our way to the prescription counter to get it.
A surprisingly supportive article in the July/August 2021 issue of the American Journal of Therapeutics overwhelming supported ivermectin as a treatment for COVID. The study concluded, “Using ivermectin early in the clinical course may reduce numbers progressing to severe disease. The apparent safety and low cost suggest that ivermectin is likely to have a significant impact on the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic globally.”
So, two groups of highly trained professionals, allegedly dedicated public servants, are telling opposite stories about the same issue. Whom do you believe? I tend to believe those who have the most to lose if they are wrong, and I look suspiciously at those who have much to gain. While that is not a perfect formula to follow, it is close to perfect in an imperfect, selfish, egotistical world.
I believe the independent physicians who have everything to lose rather than political physicians who have everything to gain by pushing the quick and expensive vaccines.
You have one vote, and it is your life that’s in the balance

This woman sheds much valuable light on use of the various veterinary medications for treatment. (ie "horse paste", etc.)
Introduction to Terry Herholdt’s Covid 911 Protocols
“My research was initially based on practical applications of different forms and dosages of IVM through the past 30 odd years, in my cattle, horses, eland and warthogs.
For many years I helped my husband run a 600 strong cattle feedlot, so I learned all about ivermectin products and the incredible effect on animals that came in and were doing poorly.
I used it alone and in combination and monitored body condition plus faeces/parasites if any. Over the past 38 years I had gathered a vast amount of knowledge in veterinary and medical fields, applying the One Health
Initiative to my approach. Then I started experimenting on myself. I had End Stage Chronic NeuroLyme disease. As I started treating myself and getting better, so my Lyme friends joined in. We created a group of intelligent, like-minded women, and discussed our results with each other.
Each new case study was then searched on the internet using the chronic illness name and Ivermectin. Every single time I would find scientific papers written on the subject, somewhere in the world.
I then started a team of people who would try to get a triple combination, revolutionary, global anti parasitic in the market, and registered a provisional patent. My team consisted of a top Swiss/German regulatory lady, a well-known clinical researcher, an advocate, a marketing manager and myself. We were blocked at each step. When Covid came, I approached government. Numerous meetings about the use of Ivermectin came to nothing. By that stage I was already treating Covid patients with Ivermectin from April 2020. Since 22 December 2020, I have devoted my time and knowledge to keeping our people safe, even during my own Covid, which I contracted on purpose, so as to be able to experience the disease first hand, and test my protocol.
I’ve worked 16 -18 hours a day on my phone, talking to sick people, advising them, sourcing vet meds, explaining which was safe and which was not. I would love to publish my own papers one day. There is so much that I discovered in the past 5 years.
“Always inquiring, never afraid of the boundaries. And every time people just got better!“

I found this interesting analysis of several studies: https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/ivermectin-much-more-than-you-wanted
Seems to help with Covid cases mostly in regions where the population is also suffering from worms. Probably because the body doesn't have to fight on two fronts at the same time, so the recovery from Covid is improved as compared to the still worm infested control group.

vjvmsdThere's lots of info about quercetin on the forum, easy to search for using 'quercetin' as the search term. It should be taken with zinc, and its function is to help transport zinc into the cells. So it's a kind of 'zinc optimizer' (my own simple non-medical term :) ). I take it regularly, just every other day, as part of my normal supplement regime.

I take D3, Quercetin, and Zinc daily. Quercetin is OTC and is like HCQ. It makes it easier for Zinc to get through cell walls and deactivate the virus or any virus. Quercetin has many other benefits too.
The govt says take D3 but they recommend way too small of an amount. I take 15,000 IUs a day. Do your own due diligence.
Xclear has a few great studies done on it, so if you are in a crowd and worried then using this before and after is a good thing.
IVM is fantastic and I take it twice a week now not because of covid but because of many other benefits.
I am now taking Diatomaceous Earth every day with my coffee. Don't breath it in and don't start with much. My energy level is through the roof. I would have to think it helps with some of the things that were put into the Covid-19 virus.

If you DO choose to take it fairly often, make sure you're taking good probiotics as well. :muscle:
Personally, I do not and would not take ivermectin as a prophylactic (a preventative). Based on everything I feel I know, I don't believe that's necessary.

This further reinforcement of how effective Ivermectin is to treat SARS-CoV2 illness makes me feel incredibly angry with these government health authorities, here in Australia Ivermectin has been actively avoided and refused as being effective -we know the same in the UK/USA, they must know this, it is deliberate and willful!

I've been casually following the reports regarding Ivermectin for well over a year now, and I am rather interested in what will, or will not, promote healthy bowel flora, or as I usually term it, healthy gut microbiome.
I have never seen such a warning before. I have seen quite a few mentions of successful and wide spread prophylactic use of Ivermectin, for various purposes. The mechanisms by which Ivermectin works are numerous, and not entirely well understood, but from what I've seen so far, these mechanisms are not broad spectrum anti-bacterial.
Could you provide some sources or references for your warning? I've only read a tiny fraction of the available reports and results concerning Ivermectin, so I could easily have missed this important detail.

But in Ecuador, I take Albendazole twice a year, as most of the expats here do routinely. That's just part of living in a developing country on the equator. Albendazole, a little like Ivermectin, is a general antiparasitic.
My naturopath, a very competent, aware and knowledgeable man, a Canadian expat also now in Ecuador, suggested it was okay to take it just a couple times a year (despite it being a pharmaceutical)‚ but recommended that after each dose I should boost my gut flora with probiotics. (He also recommended the same thing after taking oregano oil as an anti-viral.)
That seemed to be supported by Clif High's opinion as stated in his last month's video titled Measuring Woo (https://www.bitchute.com/video/BZL0gqU691vW/), which was partly a response to Steve Quayle's claim that he'd survived "an assassination attempt".

Clif was skeptical of Steve's claim, and I was, too. Steve had explained how much care he'd been taking because he'd been dosing himself with both Ivermectin and HCQ very regularly for a while as a prophylactic. So he'd attributed his sudden collapse of health to being "an attack".
In his video Measuring Woo (https://www.bitchute.com/video/BZL0gqU691vW/), Clif also stated that taking Ivermectin continuously (which was never its design function) would damage the bowel flora, and maybe other things too, and that's what Steve Quayle hadn't understood. He was simply taking too much of it too often for too long (said Clif), and had thrown his body metabolism way out of whack.
The two opinions above (from my naturopath and from Clif High) made sense to me, and so they combined to form own provisional view — which is totally subject to change. I'd be delighted to be wrong, and I'd welcome more information myself if anyone has any.
This isn't the research paper you might have been hoping for! But it may be a start of an interesting conversation about this. For the moment, my view about taking something like Ivermectin all the time is very similar to taking antibiotics all the time if one's worried about infection.
My own acting principle is that here's just no need to — just recognize an infection, a parasite, or covid if it ever occurs, and then take action exactly to the degree that it's needed.

I love having an Ivermectin supply and have used it with no side effects.
IVM is fantastic and I take it twice a week nowJust a footnote here. Do be a little careful, as ivermectin (a very safe drug, for sure) will damage one's natural healthy bowel flora, as it's an antiparasitic. It'll have the same effect on the flora as taking antibiotics regularly.
I will say that Ivermectin in the WRONG dosage is a neurological risk... I over dosed kittens (hilariously due to current events... years ago using "horse paste" and trying to dose down... messed up the math) and it was pretty ****ing scary for a bit there, didn't lose any IIRC.
as always, be careful with anything highly concentrated.

Well, here's more information already! :) It was emailed to me just now by a generous Avalon guest who chose to stay anonymous.
In this video — https://youtu.be/bXiDpMBvsO8?t=1780, which contains a timestamp — the same question is asked of Dr Paul Marik, published just yesterday. Start in at 29:40. Dr Marik says that Ivermectin does NOT damage the bowel flora.

What would surprise me the second least would be that some bacteria like ivermectin and some don't, so continued prophylactic use of ivermectin would alter the gut bacteria balance, in ways that are a mixed bag.
This is not how I understand broad spectrum antibiotics work, which is to suppress most bacteria, except for the notorious antibiotic resistant super bugs.
What would surprise me the least is that I don't know wtf I'm talking about. :happythumbsup:

This is my understanding... but again.. ivermectin was never meant to be a chronic use, it's mostly used acutely.

Bill & others, Thanks for the reply about Quercitin. I like the idea you mentioned of every other day although the doctor in the video mentions daily. I'm not sure if daily or every other matters, maybe thats just a preference? I'm sure there are residuals left in our body to cover 2 days and still be effective. Here is a more important point to consider. The doctor and others mention Quercitin can be an effective prophylaxis for Covid 19. So maybe Quercitin would work better for a prophylaxis than Ivermectin over time? And because it has many benefits Quercitin should be daily plus the added protection from Covid? Either way, because it's harder to get, save the Ivermectin supply for the early onset providing even more protection at the time when you need it having both Ivermectin & Quercitin flowing in the blood...

Quercetin has a lot of benefits evidently, more than just the role it plays wrt to Covid.
In any case, I think often about how possible it would be to see the supply chain breakdown on all sorts of supplements, or the govt getting in the way of the use of supplements, etc. I know it is popular to think about gold, silver, and cryptos being stores of value, but would D3 be worth, or supplements like that, if you just couldn't buy it anywhere...
IVM is the same. It is dirt cheap to buy from India, yet my understanding is that the pharmacies in the US which will sell it to you might ask $150 for a five day regimen... something to contemplate I would think.....

No doubt, the dictators trying to destroy this country would stop you if they could. But they can’t, and that makes them seethe on the inside.
Still, COVID is still out there. Dr. Stella Immanuel wanted to come on to discuss what you can do to for prophylaxis and early treatment against the virus over the holidays, especially with extremist pharmacists out there refusing to fill ivermectin prescriptions.

Thank you so much Ewan :heart:
I knew I saw the dosage chart on this thread and really appreciate your help.
Elizabeth Marie (We R One) sent me a link for the proper dosage, but didn't know how often to administer.
We were desperate this morning and I told her to take 12 mg based on Elizabeth's research and it turns out she was right.
I really appreciate being in the family that I am in and I have all of you to thank. Y'all the only social media I engage in.

We were desperate this morning and I told her to take 12 mg based on Elizabeth's research and it turns out she was right.
Here's the FLCCC (https://covid19criticalcare.com) chart for 12mg tablets. Basically, she needs just 1 tab per day, taken with food as Ewan said above.
https://projectavalon.net/Ivermectin_doses_for_12mg_tablets.jpg
All the FLCCC (https://covid19criticalcare.com) protocols are here in this PDF:
https://covid19criticalcare.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/FLCCC-Alliance-I-MASKplus-Protocol-ENGLISH.pdf
https://covid19criticalcare.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/FLCCC-Alliance-I-MASKplus-Protocol-ENGLISH.pdf
But note: if the symptoms seem to be a little serious, and it's not really "early treatment" because of the delay, then the protocols recommend to increase this to 0.4-0.6 mg/kg, i.e. 2x or 3x the 1 tablet per day dose above.
The rest below is what I would be doing myself if I were in that position:
I'd take Melatonin — easy to get over the counter or online, 10mg each evening before sleep. (That's a lot! It's quite a knockout dose. But it's very safe, and melatonin really does help with covid according to all the published research.)
Vitamin D to 20,000 IU/day (best in 2x 10,000 IU doses morning + evening). In my personal opinion and that of others, the Vit D dosage recommended in the PDF above may be a little low.
Vitamin C (best in powder form, and from a natural source rather than synthetic if possible) to bowel tolerance. (That varies a lot between individuals.) A good strategy might be to take 1g (1000mg) every 2-3 hours throughout the day.
Quercetin (1200-1600mg/day) and NAC (600 mg/day), And of course Zinc: I'd be taking 100mg/day until the condition improves, then 50mg/day thereafter as a maintenance dose. (Zinc Picolinate is the form most easily absorbed.)
With these protocols, from everything I have read and heard, most people are back to pretty near normal within a week, and sometimes sooner. :muscle:

Yes, that's correct. :thumbsup: For someone weighing 125 lbs (57 kg), 0.4mg/kg would be pretty much 2x 12mg tablets/day.

Took my second dose of Ivermectin today .
I am in relatively close contact with 2 vaxxed relatives here were i reside with them ( garden flat) we share common space outdoors & i hardly venture into main house anymore , so even outside i do keep my distance & even backstep when they come to close into my personal space .
About a month ago i started experiencing phantom symptoms & they have continued , i am certain its from their shedding & their childrens when they visit .
Ok .... for you Aussies , I purchased the following tube .
ULTRAMAX Equine Oral Paste for Horses .
Active Constituents 140mg/g Praziquantel
18.7mg/g Ivermectin
Dose at 1ml/100kg
The whole tube will treat a 600kg Horse .
I took my first dose on the end of a spoon about3/4 of a spin (full spin = 100kg bodyweight) , tasted acrid despite light apple flavouring (do not lick it down)
Today i filled a double 00 gelatin capsule & took it with a snack , no after taste , ill be doing this from now on .
I plan on taking it for 3 more days , then twice weekly for protection .
cheers

When I had covid I took all the above except Melatonin. After 10 covid days I started to take 80mg Melatonin per day. 4x 20 mg. Directly I began to feel better. I took this dose for 5 days and feeling good again en healed after that.

For many people, just 3mg (or less!) puts them straight into a very pleasant deep sleep. The FLCCC protocol (https://covid19criticalcare.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/FLCCC-Alliance-I-MASKplus-Protocol-ENGLISH.pdf) suggests 10mg, which really seems to work well but has always seemed (to me!) like a huge dose. :)

Bill, Thanks for listing the FLCCC website and therein is listed the protocol. It is an important place to locate information on best practices. IMO
These are my experiences with this matter. I hope they help anyone who is looking into the issue.
My spouse and I, look to the FLCCC and have done the recommended protocol from the FLCCC webpage for more than a year. And we did find a nurse practitioner listed on there, she covers our area, for an RX of compounded Ivermectin. She said we were doing more than anyone else she's treated for Covid in her practice. I was taking really high D supplements 2x3 times higher and melatonin 20mg daily. She claimed that these were too high a dose to take without supervision. So I backed down on both.
After the shipment from the compounding Pharmacy being returned. Then a FedEx investigation of loss...and all types of high strangeness about that... It is our third week taking the drug Ivermectin and we are fine. It is prophylactic for us, as we believe we had the Plague, as we call it, or the Wooflu...in the very beginning in Dec. 2019. And again in March 2020.
I feel the symptoms when in close contact with those that have had the shots. Ever time. And I too have had a strange skin disorder on my left foot for a long time prior to being sick in Dec '19. It ended up on my toes fingers and even my face summer 2020. Real misery that had been to tell you all the truth.
Franny, thanks too, for the upload on D-Dimer testing. That is a real concern longer term for those that have had the shots. Lots to consider going forward.
Best to everyone working to figure out what to do.

Yes, 80 mg per day, 8x 10 mg tablets. :) (time release)
The funny thing is I thought it was in the protocol PDF that you send me. I looked it up now and it is not in there.
I found where I have it from. It is from earthclinic.com which many will know. Some take much more then 80 mg per day. When I took 80 mg for 5 days I felt a little bit blurry during the day, but not to much. The blurryness felt good somehow. (I took time-release 10 mg tablets, in the protocol time-release is not mentioned. I had only time release in the house but the new tablets I have ordered now from iherb are not time release. Maybe the impact of those will be different)

My wife has been secretly taking Ivermectin since I got her a supply. I just found out yesterday, when I told her it was time for her monthly dosage. She had a set back a few weeks ago and she started taking more pills. She is a pill popper but I thought I had made it clear that this medicine was not to be used in her usual fashion.
Long story short, she is in far better shape now. She has much more energy and her attitude is brighter as well. Her complaints have gone back to her normal aches and pains - no longer having shortness of breath, headaches, or chest pains.
Ivermectin is a miracle!
Edit to add: cancer was just ruled out after extensive testing (x-rays, MRI, CT scans, many experts, 6 months, etc.) Everyone who saw her scans kept insisting it was cancer. I kept saying it was not. Thankfully, I was right. It was scaring from the intubation that has taken over a year to heal. She will always have cloudy scans that will look cancerous to the untrained eye - that's the scar tissue.

We have a young Physical Therapy student, just now graduating, who has been working privately with my husband, Ron, for the past few years. His aunt, who is about 50, previously in good health, is now seriously suffering from symptoms related probably to Covid. Is not vaccinated. An uncle just died. After much thought, I told him that I had some Ivermectin, a little about the response people have had to it, and that I would gladly give her some after consulting the dosage chart. Here's the thing...I doubt there is any chance that it will happen. He said that's the dewormer, right? Yes, but...you can imagine what I added in terms of it's effectiveness. It is so frustrating - that it could happen and most likely won't, so thoroughly has the well been poisoned by lies. I feel so sad about this, but maybe I will be wrong and he will ask for some. The woman, whom I have never met, lives within a mile of me.
