Israel's Sheba Medical Center Researcher: Antiparasitic drug Ivermectin reduces length of COVID-19 infection in double-blind, placebo-controlled study
Jerusalem Post ^ | 02/14/2021 | MAAYAN JAFFE-HOFFMAN

An Israeli tropical-disease expert says he has new proof that a drug used to fight parasites in third-world countries could help reduce the length of infection for people who contract coronavirus.

Prof. Eli Schwartz, founder of the Center for Travel Medicine and Tropical Disease at Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer, last week completed a clinical trial of the US Food and Drug Administration-approved drug Ivermectin, a broad-spectrum antiparasitic agent that has also been shown to fight viruses.

The double-blind, placebo-controlled study included 100 people with mild to moderate cases of the disease who were not hospitalized for the virus. It tested whether Ivermectin could shorten the viral shedding period, allowing them to test negative for coronavirus and leave isolation in only a few days.

According to his still unpublished data, Schwartz said the drug was shown to help “cure” people of the virus within just six days. Moreover, the chances of testing negative for coronavirus were three times higher for the group who received Ivermectin than the placebo, he told The Jerusalem Post.

“From a public-health point of view, the majority of patients with corona are mild cases, and 90% of these people are isolated outside of the hospital,” Schwartz said. “If you have any kind of drug that can shorten the duration of the infectiousness of these patients, that would be dramatic, as then they will not infect others.”

Moreover, instead of isolating for a minimum of 10 days and maybe more, this period could be shortened, benefiting the economy.

Finally, although Schwartz’s study did not focus on this, he said the results indicate that it is likely if the drug were given at the beginning of one’s illness, it could prevent deterioration and hospitalization.

folks, if they are so inclined to, can Get some from tractor supply to have on hand incase they should get covid- take it before going to hospital- but it should help prevent even having to go to hospital. Can also take as a prophylaxis- that is quite effective supposedly

So you are suggesting a horse dewormer will work? Any thoughts on dosage?

A fairly standard dose used in the studies is 12-15 mg, sometimes on day 1 & 3, sometimes for 5 days running. A horse tube contains about 115 mg/tube, so about 1/10th - 1/8th of a tube.

It works. 12 mg but exact dose not critical. Don’t give to certain dog breeds.

I can’t suggest it, i can only say that if someone were to get it, the plungers on the paste are marked at 50 lb intervals, so a 150 lb person would move the settable stopper 3 notches, a 200 lb person woudl do 4 notches. A person doesn’t have to be precise as it’s pretty forgiving apparently- some folks having to take doses daily for worms, so they get a ton more that a prophylaxis does would be in the end- Say a person is about 185 lbs- they could round up to 200 lb dose, and be fine, but if they wanted to be more precise, they could do the 200 lb dose, then cut a small slice off and just throw it away, then take the remainder

If one were to buy the ‘Horse Health Ivermectin brand’ it has a more precise way to measure- here’s a video on it:

You should be able to obtain a prescription for the human version with little trouble. My personal doc refused, but I was able to get one in 24 hours through one of the links at the FLCCC’s web site. $59.00 consult fee and $12.00 at my local Rite-aide.

At this point, if I was unable to obtain a prescription, yeah, I’d go with the Durvet, but that’s just me. The tube I have for the horses is 1.87% ivermectin by weight. It’s water soluble, so it might be easier to dilute it to make weighing-out easier, and the docs at FLCCC suggest that .2mg/kg of bodyweight should work.

But why mess with that if you can get the stuff made for humans?

Imagine that.

And they didn’t need to inject a suspect substance in their bodies to get the same results as the vaccine is alleged to give.

One syringe contains sufficient paste to treat one 1250 lb horse at the recommended dose rate of 91 mcg ivermectin per lb (200 mcg/kg) body weight. Each weight marking on the syringe plunger delivers enough paste to treat 250 lb body weight.

If people want to spend 10-12 times as much to obtain the same stuff, but “made for humans”, that’s certainly their right.

But as for me, I’ll say “Neigh!”

Who cares if they won't? It's cheap at Tractor Supply or your local feed store.
