Hm. Had to go almost to the end of the long-ish article to actually figure out what the three parts were... Shoulda been in the first paragraph!

1. Ivermectin - TGA and FDA approved as an anti-parasitic therapy with an established safety profile since the 1970s. Known as the "Wonder Drug" from Japan.
2. Zinc
3. Doxycycline - TGA and FDA approved tetracycline antibiotic that fights bacterial infections, eg. acne or urinary tract infections, viral and malarial infections.


I wonder how ivermectin interacts with quinine? If there's nothing bad mixing them, perhaps a four-part treatment would be even more effective?
Ivermectin, HCQ, zinc, antibiotic.

Ivermectin is a one shot pill. 200mcg/kg Most people need like 15-20 milligrams once. Not a huge does.

It also seems to compliment HCQ without any negative interactions so there’s no reason not to do all of it.

Relatives of mine who breed high-end horses, have a truckload of this and trust it. I accepted some for a doomsday scenario but in the meantime I’ll stick to vitamins and tonic water.
