Anti-parasitic drug Ivermectin destroys Covid-19 infection in less than 48 hours: Australian Study

Though the researchers didn’t say how Ivermectin was able to destroy Covid-19, they believe it inhibits Covid-19 replication.

Australian scientists have found that an antiviral drug called ‘Ivermectin’ was able to kill coronavirus grown in cell cultures in less than 48 hours.

Ivermectin is a medication used to treat many types of parasite infestations.

This study comes as researchers and scientists are scouring drugs that can be repurposed or used to treat the novel coronavirus.

The study, published in the journal - Antiviral Research, stated that Ivermectin was able to kill the virus in less than two days.

The study further said that the anti-parasitic drug significantly reduced the viral load in 24 hours.

Ivermectin is an approved anti-parasitic drug known to be effective against a variety of viruses like HIV, influenza, dengue, and Zika.

The researchers cautioned that more testing needs to be done to be sure of the drug’s efficacy against Covid-19.

Even though the drug is considered largely safe, the scientists at the Monash University in Australia who conducted the study, are yet to ascertain the correct dosage and effects to understand its efficacy against SARS-CoV-2.

The researchers believe that instead of finding new ways to treat the infection, scientists should focus on tweaking the existing treatment in order to prevent the infection.

The researchers, however, did not say how Ivermectin was able to destroy Covid-19, but they believe that the drug inhibits Covid-19 replication.

The corona virus can not be "killed" because it is not a living organism. It is an inert, dead particle.

Germs and bacteria are alive but not viruses.

A non-intuitive item which helped with that full body pain was to apply cloths soaked with apple cider vinegar/warm distilled water 1:1 on painful body parts. Helped with the nausea, as well.

Ivermectin is widely available and inexpensive so it will not be used. No money in it.

Kinda counter-intuitive and anti-common sense don’t you think?

If it works and is cheap and widely available and will help to control or stop the pandemic, WHY NOT USE IT?

Why try finding a more expensive treatment?

The question answers itself.

Essentially useless as an anthelmintic for small ruminants, but glad it is finding new use to help save lives.

Is also a good treatment for mange in fox, etc.

Maybe a dumb question but -> I forget (I bought the Ivermectin a while ago) ... have they tested beyond just in vitro? I know it destroys the little covids really quickly in a petri dish ... but have they run human trials? (or is there anecdotal evidence?) I was quick to buy it in April or May because one -> destruction in the petri dish and two -> relatively harmless for humans at worst. But I haven’t followed or don’t remember human trials since ... ... ...

Yes. Go to youtube and search for Peak Prosperity. He just did a special on Ivermectin tonight. Here's the link.

Best Covid Treatment by Far

Dr. Martenson has been citing studies all along. He's very good at dissecting studies and determining if they were set up right and if they prove what they claim. I got both tablets for humans and the paste tubes for horses. Another freeper said it was easy to overdose on the horse paste. I don't know. It seems like if you pay attention to the dosing which is by weight for humans and take the appropriate amount you should be fine. It's supposed to be a very safe drug.

Good question...

Some people talked about putting it in a plunger—a syringe w/o a needle...to measure appropriate dosage...

Yes I think could spread on bread, maybe add to a smoothie, or maybe just squirt in mouth and down it like a medicine it is...

I don’t know.

Anyone have thoughts on this?
