Another possibility for your early treatment plan ( since we are all on our own until hospitalized) - Andrographis

Short term use, early symptoms only

Read the EUA’S. It states clearly that in order for the FDA to grant an EUA there can not be an “effective, available alternative”.

That is exactly why Fauci warned the public off ivermectin and HCQ which led to uncountable deaths.

According to Drugs.com, Ivermectin is approximately $79 for 20 pills. Hydroxychloroquine is approximately $37 for 100 pills.

I'll leave it to you to figure out why "public health officials" are opposed to both.

Why all the fuss about Ivermectin?

If it didn’t work, there would be no fuss.

The feds seemed to have made sure fentanyl is more readily available than ivermectin. I doubt that’s a coincidence.

“Follow the money...ALWAYS...”

It could be as simple as there is no money to be made. Or it could be as simple as they want everybody to take poison.

Actually, both ivermectin and HCQ are effective at helping you resist the virus and recover from it. But it’s real service is in combination with zinc. In combination with zinc it is almost 100% effective even in late stage cases.

You’ll notice that the trials, even trials that show them in a positive light, never include zinc. Zinc is the key. They know that. The doctors using it effectively know it and the ones resisting their use know it too.

I think the point of all this is the vax passport. Once in place it can easily be expanded to include all kinds of behaviors. Once in place we’ll never get rid of it.

“Has anyone here successfully used the horse paste?”

Yes, I used an entire tube back in march dosed over a week. (4 notches per day)

My son was sick a month ago. 102/103 fever, His doctor was PROHIBITED from prescribing ivermectin by the Health care provider he was employed by. So, I got him on the Duravet 1.87% ivermectin. Within hours he was improving and within two days was out and about. Used with zinc.

It works!

Fauci is a lier and should be prosecuted for Crimes Against Humanity.

I read an article the other day that the feds wanted to make fentynl a scheduled drug (stiff fed penalties) but hesitate because it might be racist

For all their fear mongering about ivermectin, the CDC recommends giving ivermectin to refugees for parasites:

“All Middle Eastern, Asian, North African, Latin American, and Caribbean refugees should receive presumptive therapy with:
Albendazole, single dose of 400 mg (200 mg for children 12-23 months)
AND
Ivermectin, two doses 200 mcg/Kg orally once a day for 2 days before departure to the United States.

All African refugees who did not originate from or reside in countries where Loa loa infection is endemic (Box 1) should receive presumptive therapy with:
Albendazole, single dose of 400 mg (200 mg for children 12-23 months)
AND
Ivermectin, two doses 200 mcg/Kg orally once a day for 2 days
AND
Praziquantel, 40 mg/kg, which may be divided in two doses before refugees depart for the United States.”

I would think that’s an excuse for not interfering in the deep state/China conspiracy to destroy Americas middle class.

All I know is the reaction from the media tells me something is up. I saw an article today about how the emergency rooms are so full of folks ODs in it that gunshot victims have to wait. https://www.yahoo.com/news/oklahomas-ers-backed-people-overdosing-053822589.html

“A doctor in rural Oklahoma says the number of people overdosing on horse deworming medication ivermectin is so high that emergency rooms are filled to the brim.

“The situation is so dire that even people with gunshot wounds have to wait their turn to get treatment, said Dr. Jason McElyea, an ER physician affiliated with multiple hospitals in Sallisaw, Oklahoma.”

My first question - just how many gunshot victims are there in rural Oklahoma? Did a serach on “Sallisaw, Oklahoma, shooting” and there are very, very few. Certainly not enough for there to be a queue of ambulances full of them.

Idiots, how stupid do they think people are?

Multiple studies looking at this have conflicting results. One shows a 2 day decrease in hospitalization but no effect on mortality. Others show no effect while still others show quicker improvement in symptoms in outpatients. The official FDA and CDC recommendation is to not use Ivermectin in treating Covid. The adverse effect profile demonstrates the most common issues relate to nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Those reactions do not seem significant given the potential effect of full-blown Covid. They can easily be managed if they occur. In my practice I have seen no adverse effects but can not verify that it had a symptom-shortening effect as no large double-blind study is possible for an individual physician. Informed consent, patient education and shared decision making with the doctor / patient should be the hallmark of medical care without governmental interference when utilizing the off-label use of a medication or treatment already approved for human use by that same government. Ask yourself, if the drug is safe and approved to use for one indication and has minimal, manageable adverse effect profile why could a doctor not use it for another illness with patient acquiescence. All medicine involves a risk-benefit analysis. From the NIH web site: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7709596/ an article from the International Journal of Infectious disease Feb 2021. “Although the study sample was too small (n = 72) to draw any solid conclusions, the results provide evidence of the potential benefit of early intervention with the drug ivermectin for the treatment of adult patients diagnosed with mild COVID-19. First, early intervention promoted faster viral clearance during disease onset, which might have prevented significant immune system involvement and hastened the recovery. Secondly, early intervention reduced the viral load faster, thus may help block disease transmission in the general population. A larger randomized controlled clinical trial of ivermectin treatment appears to be warranted to validate these important findings.” Studies such as these should not be ignored. “First Do No Harm” is the motto of the medical profession, and in my reading prescribing Ivermectin in concert with doxycycline, Vit C, Vit D and Zinc (in patients without an allergy to those) falls into that category !
