Some doctors think they’ve found a cheap, generic drug which treats COVID-19 in Ivermectin. So why hasn’t anyone heard of it?

Its been successful as a cocktail with zinc.

Ivermectin with zinc.

Hydroxy with zinc. Quercetin with zinc.

The common denominator is zinc. Zinc kills the virus.

Used it for years an anthelmintic for sheep and goats. Essentially useless now for those species, as many internal parasites have developed sufficient resistance to make treatment ineffective. I would no longer dose sheep/goats with it even using the FAMACHA treatment protocol.

Copying vetvetdoug as I’m not a DVM, just a producer, if my recollection is incorrect.

Anyone who has been paying attention knows about Ivermectin as a treatment for Covid-19.

Australia has been using it successfully for some time now. They call it the “Triple Protocol”

The answer is here:
HCQ + Ivermectin + Zinc and either Azithromycin or Doxycycline

Given at the first sign of symptoms.

I thought I recognized that as something used to treat cattle..

Because then the dems would have lost a great means of fear and control of the masses.

FIVE WEEKS AGO the Indians (dot not feather) changed their national recommended treatment for Covid 19 from HCQ+zinc to Ivermectin+zinc, so they knew about it long ago.

In my younger years when I was around a lot of horses, rode in different trail rides, listened to the conversations of both cattle ranchers and horse ranchers alike, attended some auctions (slobbered over the latest horse tack and cool finds) and heard the advice of veterinarians and farriers, the topic of preventing internal and external parasitic infections was paramount.

Ivermectin was pretty much everyone’s top choice at that time to treat livestock, horses and dogs with to defeat active infections and prevent parasites. It’s a paste-wormer for horses, but is also administered via injection to cattle. Oh yeah, found out that if your horse has a hoof infection, an epsom salt soak (magnesium sulfate) will work it out. Just make sure to follow the vet’s advice on what part epsom salt to water / ratio and how long to soak.

As far as I know, there’s still no treatment for Coggin’s Disease or preventative after all these years. But hey, when they discover a treatment or cure for something in humans or animals, it can be a jump-point for finding an answer to something else.

Ivermectin has been used in the livestock industry for years.

Nice catch.

It appears that Dog Drugs are better than people drugs. You have ivermectin for COVIS and for cancer, Fendazole another parasetic drug which has an amazing success rate (over 85%) of erradicating stage 4 cancers.

There were a few posts about this months ago, when the original paper was discovered. The dosage in that paper was like 10x the normal max human dose. But I wondered if a helpful effect was still available at the max human dosage. Just in case, I bought some ivermectin. When I actually caught the Covid, I didnt take it because at the beginning, my symptoms were mild. And by the time they were bad, I decided at the time not to take it. My wife got very sick, but she was in the hospital by the time she realized it, and of course having been admitted, they wouldnt think of treating her with it.

With all that said, and in hindsight, I would probably take the ivermectin if I had to do it over again.

Is it offered OTC?

[SeekAndFind]

It must be prescribed by a licensed physician.
