Abstract

Background: Up-to-date, there is no recognized effective treatment or vaccine for the treatment of COVID-19 that emphasize urgency around distinctive effective therapies. This study aims to evaluate the anti-parasitic medication efficacy "Ivermectin" plus standard care (azithromycin, vitamin C, Zinc, Lactoferrin & Acetylcystein & prophylactic or therapeutic anticoagulation if D-dimer > 1000) in the treatment of mild/moderate and severely ill cases with COVID 19 infection, as well as prophylaxis of health care and/ or household contacts in comparison to the Hydroxychloroquine plus standard treatment.

Subject and methods: 600 subjects; 400 symptomatic confirmed COVID-19 patients and 200 health care and household contacts distributed over 6 groups; Group I: 100 patients with Mild/Moderate COVID-19 infection received a 4-days course of Ivermectin plus standard of care; Group II: 100 patients with mild/moderate COVID-19 infection received hydroxyxholorquine plus standard of care; Group III: 100 patients with severe COVID-19 infection received Ivermectin plus standard of care; Group IV: 100 patients with Severe COVID-19 infection received hydroxyxholorquine plus standard of care. Routine laboratory investigations and RT-PCR were reported before and after initiation of treatment. Group V stick to personal protective equipment (PPE) plus Ivermectin 400mcg / kg to be repeated after one week, and Group VI stick to PPE only and both groups V&VI were followed for two weeks.

Results: Patients received ivermectin reported substantial recovery of laboratory investigations; and significant reduction in RT-PCR conversion days. A substantial improvement and reduction in mortality rate in Ivermectin treated groups; group I (mild/moderate cases), (99%, and 0.0%, respectively) and group III (severe cases), (94%, and 2.0%, respectively) versus hydroxychloroquine plus standard care treated groups; group II (mild/moderate cases), (74% and 4%, respectively) and group IV (severe cases) (50% and 20%, respectively). Ivermectin had significantly reduced the incidence of infection in health care and household contacts up to 2% compared to 10% in non ivermectin group

Conclusion: Addition of Ivermectin to standard care is very effective drug for treatment of COVID-19 patients with significant reduction in mortality compared to Hydroxychloroquine plus standard treatment only. Early use of Ivermectin is very useful for controlling COVID 19 infections, prophylaxis and improving cytokines storm

One atomic element: Silver

I make a glass every morning with three 9V batteries and two silver electrodes ( 99.999%) i distill my own water to make it with

Cost. Free. Nobody in my family has been sick ( bugs get a start sometimes but I kill them off )

Oh and by the way did you know that you can recharge nonrechargeable alkaline batteries?

I’ve been using same batteries now since 2015 2018 and 2019. Regular Duracell.

You have Do you have a voltmeter and measure the voltage which rises very rapidly on an nicad charger. takes about 10 to 15 minutes. 1.45v to 1.6 v. Full

Now if you want to listen to big government big Pharma

take their shots of whatever they say

or these complicated expensive drugs that they’ve come up with

go for it!

I really am against vaccines and shut downs

treatments and remedies are fine

I have been using ivermectin and doxycycline in addition to the standard treatments in the critically ill. I have seen a remarkable difference in the course and improvement. I believe this is a valid treatment.

[gas_dr]

You continue to be dangerous and completely ignore all validated studies. This has nothing to do with big Pharma, but frankly you should be arrested and throw in jail for depraved indifference. Heavy metal poisoning is lethal, and there is not a single reputable study in any even fringe journals that would suggest that Silver does anything but is likely dangerous.

And your ignorance being on FULL display, Ivermectin is a very inexpensive antibiotic that is typically used for parasite infections, however is a macrolide antibiotic not unlike azithromycin.

Bottom line — you are a complete harlot, with no clue about the truth despite your name, and I formally request JimRob to remove this utterly dangerous and unproven information as to benefit, but well proven as to danger.

May I ask you sir, are you a physician? If so, are you treating patients with CoVid-19 at this time?

Does Mom administer the TLC with her chicken noodle soup?

How in the world to you get EXACTLY n=100 for all groups?

[Crucial]

Thanks for the info, Doc.

Hey you know what loser ? PROVE ME WRONG

SILVER IS IN 50000 medical products you government shill troll

[gas_dr]

Prove you wrong? I have sent sent you when you have peddled your lies many many articles of actual stature stating your position is dangerous. You obviously have how this works. You are the one who has made (outrageous) claims. You are the one who needs to prove your position.

But you can’t. There is no reputable evidence that you should electrophorese your own silver and then drink it let alone spread that crap around. Hey. You want to look yourself and your family. Fine I guess. But to actually give a technique then say you kill the bugs is dangerous, dishonest and practicing without a license. It is deprived indifference to advance your dangerous and ill though our theories that are widely discredited.

And then you lash out at me. Fine. It doesn’t bother me because it only makes you look increasingly like an unstable idiot.

But let’s here some reputable evidence from you instead of your own ignorant and unlearned opinion. Science. Try it some time. You might enjoy it.

Idiot.

[gas_dr]

Oh and your supporting evidence against your hare brained ideas?

1. FTC vs Pletschke (dangerous representation of medicinal qualities of silver)

2. Mayo Clinic

3. Cleveland Clinic

4. New England Journal of Medicine

5. Journal of the American Medical Association

All extremely reputable peer reviewed publication and institutions. What say you? It should be nothing because the entire weight of legitimate science speaks against you

Your stupidity is breathtaking. Your willingness to share that stupidity speaks to your rather overwhelming and highly inflated sense of self worth.

What are you on about?

This OP is about utilizing a safe and cost effective drug(s) that have been proven to significantly reduce the impact of SARS-2 on people that contract it. The fact that you are willing to risk your health on a home remedy that has well known health risks is not relevant. Big pharma is not getting rich off ivermectin. Go and conduct your own scientific study and get it published. I haven’t been sick in 10 years and your silver concoction has never passed my lips.

ivermectin is sold as “heartgard” for cats’ heartworms.
