I posted earlier that the dose I took was proportional to what a horse is given to get rid of worms. Since then I have joined a community Dr. Lee Merritt formed at the website “TheMedicalRebel,” where you can find answers to lots of questions about Covid. Dr. Merritt posted a protocol she likes (see attached file), but she mentions that there are quite a few out there. As part of her service for $8/mo, you can submit one question per week, and I asked her to confirm that my calculations were correct based on the protocol for 0.3mg/kg.
So, here it is:
Suppose I weigh 200 lbs. Since there are 2.2 lbs/kg, I divide 200 by 2.2 to get 90.9 kg. Since the protocol calls for 0.3mg/kg, I multiply 90.9 times 0.3 to get 27.3 mg of ivermectin needed for one dose.
Now, on to find out how many milligrams of ivermectin a tube of equine apple-flavored paste contains. The box says that the paste has 1.87% ivermectin, and that the tube weighs 6.08g. Convert 6.08 grams to milligrams by multiplying by 1000, or 6080 milligrams. 1.87% of the 6080 mg is ivermectin, or 0.0187(6080), which yields 113.7 mg of ivermectin per tube.
The 200 lb person needs a dose of 27.3 mg, so dividing 113.7 by 27.3 gives us 4.2 doses per tube. That’s a little over 4 doses per tube, which is super cheap!! I saw chewy was selling a tube for $4.99. Can you believe that? a buck and a quarter per dose.
Dr. Merritt confirmed that this is correct.
