This is a brief essay, a chain of thoughts, from a $2 therapy to … the fall of nations … (nothing less!)
Article available in French at this link.
If you watch the news about COVID-19, you will have certainly heard about drugs such as Remdesivir and REGEN-CoV2, two drugs that were administered to President Trump when he got the disease.
But what about ZIVERDO? You probably never heard about it! And chances are that, if you don’t read this blog, or pay attention to COVID-19 news on Twitter and some other social media, you would never hear about it.
A reason may simply be that it’s a very very cheap therapy for COVID-19.
The drugs we hear about tend to be very pricey. Forbes looked at the price of REGEN-CoV2 and came with this comparison.
“To put things in perspective, that’s potentially over 220 to 950 pieces of avocado toast, depending on whether goat cheese is involved and whether you make your own avocado toast.”
Not sure how they came up with this comparison, but they also gave a cost estimate at “somewhere between $1,500 and $6,500 per treatment.”
In the US, the federal government is subsidizing the drug, so it’s offered free of charge to patients, although in some cases, some fees are applicable. To this date, some 55 000 doses of Casirivimab/Imdevimab, the commercial name of the drug, have been delivered.

As for Remdesivir, the price is $3120 per patient for a typical treatment course, for those with private insurance. This does not include the hospitalization costs.
While Remdesivir is known to have significant toxicity and has been found to be ineffective by the international SOLIDARITY trial, leading to the World Health Organization to recommend against its use, it’s still widely used in US hospitals and officially recommended by the National Institutes of Health.
Interim analysis of data for 275 patients, of a clinical trial regarding REGN-COV2, was published on December 17 in the New England Journal of Medicine and found that the drug “reduced viral load, with a greater effect in patients whose immune response had not yet been initiated or who had a high viral load at baseline.”

So this research shows an interesting signal, but let’s see how this evolves. The purpose of this article is not to look into the details of the effectiveness of this therapy.
Now what about the ZIVERDO Therapy?
Regarding its cost, it’s can be purchased online, in India, for the whopping total amount of US$2.00

Yes you read it well: retail price is below what you would tip for your coffee at Starbucks. I am not talking here about the price of your latté, which is immensely more expensive than that of the potentially life-saving ZIVERDO Therapy.
But who developed this therapy? Well, drawing from its composition, it appears that it can be attributed to none other than the esteemed Professor Thomas Borody, from Australia, whom we interviewed last September and who had even the audacity to claim that COVID-19 was “easier than treating the flu.”
The ZIVERDO therapy is made of 3 agents:
While Professor Borody did not make public the precise dosage of his therapy, the producers of ZIVERDO opted for the following:
“ZIVERDO Kit Contains Zinc Acetate 50 mg, Doxycycline 100 mg & Ivermectin 12 mg Dispersible Tablets.”

The therapy is offered as home kits and is presented as “first line treatment for COVID-19 positive patients.”
The ZIVERDO therapy is also very close to the i-MASK+ protocol developed by Professor Marik and his colleagues, where Ivermectin and Zinc play a key role.
In our recent webinar, Professor Marik mentioned Doxycycline can be added to the protocol for early treatment when needed.
If you are in a country such as Canada, the US, France, the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Sweden, Germany and many others, for sure you will not have heard about ZIVERDO, except for blogs like this one or some posts on social media.
Countries like India, where the ZIVERDO is offered as a frontline treatment, cannot afford the kind of medicine that is being pushed in these rich, “developed” countries. They cannot afford either massive hospitalizations for a disease that can be treated home.
But if you think about it. When cheap effective drugs are being vehemently denied by the authorities to patients suffering from a deadly disease, can we still talk about medicine?
And are such rich countries, denying life-saving treatments, really developed?
History shows that the rise and fall of nations have many explanations. With this pandemic, it looks like greed may be a pretty good one.
To think one step further, could the poor response to the pandemic be an indicator of future fall of certain nations?
Food for thought … History will tell us, as they say …
PS 1: In the US, even if the official recommendation remains not to treat COVID-19 before hospitalization, you can find a GP or a telehealth service that will prescribe an early therapy likely similar to this ZIVERDO protocol. See the listing maintained by the AAPS by downloading their home-based COVID treatment guide.
PS2: In macroeconomics, the cost of health is considered a contribution to the growth domestic product. When one spends fortunes on expensive and/or ineffective drugs, it’s computed as a contribution to the GDP. Widely using cheap drugs, even when life-saving, is not adding significantly to the GDP. Same goes for hospitalization: the cost of hospitalization is seen as a contributor to the economy, unlike a home-based treatment. In short, you can have substantial resources allocated to health, seen as contributing to the economy, yet without much of an impact in terms of health outcomes (including life expectancy)
PS3: An oddity with these expensive treatments is that President Trump held shares in both Regeneron and Gilead in the past. Maybe he is still holding such stocks. Could that have influenced his therapy?
Any Freepers know if this can be ordered and shipped to the US legally?
Any comparable kits from Canada or US?
Looks like you need a Rx.
There is a Horse version of Ivermectin at the feed store as well, and also at Amazon:
Ivermectin Paste.
Here is why the CCP developed Covid 19
A BIDEN WIN WOULD BE AN AWARD TO CHINA FOR USING COVID 19
Every time an American looked at an item for where it was made in it came from China. Now China’s reliance making everything was being threatened by a change in leadership in America which was a major consumer of those products. When Americans hailed their leaders decision to make many of them in their country US. Their politburo worried.
Worse yet opponents to the Chinese regime in power had its citizens protesting its policies , as in Hong Kong, since that change in American leadership wave the American flag and present Trump’s name when doing so. All of which presented those in power the need to destroy that leader Donald Trump.
Would a runaway plague created by a nation which could threaten populations of an enemy cause them to react by demanding extreme restriction of movement by its population to prevent its spread ? Thus wind up fragmenting its economy and create defeat for that leader’s upcoming election.
” Doxycycline is by Rx, but you only need it for secondary infections. “
That isn’t correct. Both azithromycin and doxycycline, although antibiotics (anti-bacterial primarily), have direct antiviral effects as well, especially in the presence of zinc.
We have stacks of it, in our barn.
I think I’d prefer the pill form!
I’ve been saying similar, for some time.
It’s all so obvious, but they continue gaslighting us, regardless....since, the sheeple aren’t ‘woke’ to it.
Where do you get the Doxycycline? Docs aint gonna just prescribe it for no reason, or for covid prevention- at least most docs won’t?
Got the Veterinary Ivermectin- The prescription Ivermectin is expensive, a lot more than $2 a pill- From what i can find?
Also, not sure how damaging it is for people with kidney and liver diseases or issues? There is a warning, but will the small amounts taken for prevention be enough to do damage? I can’t fidn info on that- just general ‘warning to avoid’ if folks have these conditions
I am so sorry for your family’s losses, Patriot Babe. I am concerned about my older cousins who live in California—it is bad there.
I know a woman who is early 60s, no obvious co-morbidities who was in ICU for 8 weeks...She nearly passed away, but she rallied and is now in a convalescent rehab center learning to walk, gain strength, etc...She has been at rehab center for at least 2 weeks.
For some it is much much worse than a flu. I really believe the key is to have these items available at home to take at the onset of symptoms.
I am taking Zinc/Quercetin/D3/C daily (Zelenko prophylaxis Protocol) . I am going to add Ivermectin to make it Dr. Marik’s I-MASK prophylaxis protocol.
We had a distant cousin die of it too, young fella, but he did have medical issues- and some local folks in our town who have it right now and aren’t doing so well- but likely will survive- hopefully anyways- They are older with medical conditions- We’ve h ad relatives get it, all have survived it fine so far, with that one exception- but more who got it are young- so very likely to be just fine- An old contractor in town just died WITH covid- however, it’s not known yet if he died FROM it or not- He had leukemia and wasn’t doing well, then got the covid and rapidly went downhill- Gonna be a huge loss for the town- He was well liked and a town fixture it seemed-
[[For some it is much much worse than a flu.]]
I guess even different blood types can affect how bad a person gets it- My blood type got all messed up with transfusions way back in the 80’s I had type O which was supposedly the ‘best type to have in regards to covid’
I wonder if this is true even for regular flu? If blood types play a role in how severe they get it? IF it’s true that it does for covid?

Yep- took my first dose today- no side effects so far that i am aware of- although I do have a craving for sugar cubes and hay... Neigh, make that alfalfa
Rummy- Aemricasfrontlinedoctors. com has telemed health services, and they send out the drugs needed liek the HCQ and antibiotics- fro mtheir own pharmacy because soem states won’t even fill doctor’s prescriptions
This place has hte docs that held the press briefing touting HCQ- Simone Gold was oen of hte docs- the black woman who really spoke about HCQ then-
https://www.americasfrontlinedoctors.com/hydroxychloroquine/
They tel you how to telemed to get it if you wish to go that route? I don’t know if they wil l prescribe ivermectin or not though- they might
hahaha!
Thanks for the ping - but infuriated would be an understatement about how this makes me “feel”. I know lots of people who have had COVID - and several who have died from it. Every time I hear that result, I think the “medical profession” has sold out to big pharma and get sick to my stomach.

Ivermectin is a neurotoxin, and is the active ingredient in a number of heartworm and parasite treatments. The drug is used in two ways: it helps prevent parasites from being attracted to dogs, and it kills parasites once infestation has occurred.
Where do you get the Doxycycline
Common treatment for Lymes.
One could always tell them you had a tick bite and lymes.
