Why does anything work?
Who knows you try it and see
Viagra was supposed to be a new blood pressure drug that quite accidentally turned into a gold mine. there have been other cases this is the most financially rewarding one.
There is a reason it is called “practicing” medicine.
Viagra works by opening up blood vessels to reduce pressure.
Which also makes certain things happen easier (PG statement!)
A lot of blood pressure meds have the same action, but that little purple pill did it better.
My point is Ivermectin is an anti parasitic drug. A great one.
But what is the method of action for treating a viral infection with Ivermectin? See with Viagra, a blood pressure med have a side effect of putting lead in the pencil was known. It just did it better than the rest of the meds. It arose, so to speak, during the trials. With Ivermectin I still haven’t heard a plausible explanation of why it works. It is pretty safe so using it as a “Throw anything at it!” is OK IMO, but since even the proponents can’t say why it works, or prove that it does (sorry Joe Rogan), I am skeptical.
And horse paste tastes horrible (tried it as a kid since the horses liked).
