This is weird. A friend just texted me her cousin was in the hospital with Covid. Blood clots, spitting blood. Gave her 8 Ivermectin tabs and 24 hours later all symptoms gone.
Obviously this is anecdotal but it might be worth looking into.”
What was the dosage in the pills?
Sorry, I don't know. Here's what I have found about the paste.
Ivermectin 1.87 percent paste - dosage at onset of symptoms.
.018cc per pound
Example
200lb-3.7cc
140lb-2.6cc
100lb-1.8cc
1 dose per day for 3 days
I'm not a doc so please research.(I know you would but feel like I gotta say it)
