"I am writing about Ivermectin based on what I have read and from what medical doctors have explained to me." A Philippine Columnist Writes

"I am writing about Ivermectin based on what I have read and from what medical doctors have explained to me."

Last Saturday, the Philippines registered its highest single day cases of Covid-19 infection at 7,999, just one short of eight thousand. This was a day after registering 7,103 cases; on Sunday, there were 7,757 new cases.

Just hours before the Department of Health posted the daily tally of COVID-19 cases on its website, rumors circulated that the clinic or house of a certain Dr. Allan Landrito, who had just delivered an online talk on the use of Ivermectin against the dreaded COVID-19 virus, was raided by personnel of the DoH, who confiscated boxes of the so-called miracle drug.

A text message which circulated later reworded the report to “visit.” I will discuss that later. First of all, I am not a medical expert and I will not claim to be one. I am writing about Ivermectin based on what I have read and from what medical doctors have explained to me.

The DoH and the Food and Drug Administration have warned us against using Ivermectin, an anti-parasitic drug saying the sample size of its use against COVID-19 is relatively small and is not really enough to conclude. This, aside from the fact this medicine is used for animals.

Whoa! Is FDA deliberately misleading the public by omitting one very important fact: That there is a human-grade Ivermectin?

Anyway. If the argument is the small sample size, then why did the FDA then give “compassionate permit” to those who would want to avail of the very expensive Remdesivir which reportedly cost P2,000 per course, for their COVID-19 treatment?

How effective really is Ivermectin and what is its most glaring advantage against other expensive medication?

First, according to some people I have interviewed, it only costs P50 a tablet (or capsule) and they take it only once every two weeks, as prophylaxis or for prevention; or one tablet a day for four days for treatment of COVID-19.

Now, on the issue of its effectiveness. Last January, after making a passive recommendation of neither for nor against the drug, the National Institute of Health of the US upgraded its recommendation on Ivermectin, making it an option for use against COVID-19.

To substantiate the drug’s effectiveness, All-Indian Institute of Medical Sciences of Bhubaneswar, India’s Dr. Batmanabane avers that there was a time that “at least 20 to 25 of their health care workers were getting infected with the virus daily.”

But after the workers started taking Ivermectin, the number of infections came down to one or two per day. The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons also shared their study which showed favorable results.

“Patients are dying, while over a billion doses have been used since the 1980s of this very safe medicine. Perhaps with this change, patients won’t need a court order to get a lifesaving drug,” according to AAPS executive director Dr. Jane Orient.

The Frontline Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance are also in full support of the drug saying “Ivermectin is one of the world’s safest, cheapest and most widely available drugs.

“The studies we presented to the NIH revealed high levels of statistical significance showing large magnitude benefit in transmission rates, need for hospitalization and death,” says Dr. Pierre Kory of the FLCCC, who, by the way, was a resource for the US Senate Congress on COVID-19.

In fact, countries around the world are now adopting Ivermectin as treatment for COVID-19. Slovakia became the first country in the European Union. It was then followed by Mexico City, Haiti and Peru, In Brazil, India, Turkey, Poland and Dominican Republic, data are being studied.

Our own Concerned Doctors and Citizens of the Philippines also shared their position on Ivermectin saying that as of today, “22 percent of the world is already using Ivermectin to successfully fight COVID-19. Multiple studies and meta-analyses confirm the effectiveness of Ivermectin, a safe oral drug used for over 40 years for other illnesses in humans,” citing the summary of scientific evidence on Ivermectin versus COVID 19 from Ivmmeta.com.

An article published in the Manila Times states that “pros” in using Ivermectin to treat COVID-19 actually outweighs the “cons.”

According to the article, “the argument that the original use was veterinary, or that the purpose was for parasites, should not even be raised as cross species usefulness or utility of drugs different from the original research intent is so common it should not even be raised, although adapting studies should be prioritized. Dosage and abuse issues are true for all drugs and are easily addressed by advice rather than by not taking up the issues.”

“Almost all eventual proven drugs start with observations and case testimonials, plus there are many theoretical bases for Ivermectin to be useful. All drugs can be dangerous if abused. Like almost all proven effective herbals or remedies that are widely available and unprofitable for pharmaceuticals to do extensive tests on, this widely available drug is not a priority for pharmaceuticals or institutions,” the article points out.

Ironically, this is true. Has the DoH and the FDA or any other government agency recommended the study or use of tawa-tawa in treating dengue? But many doctors, including our children’s pediatrician have been recommending its use ever since.

Small sample trial? Again, we go to the FDA’s compassionate permit for Remdesivir. Or better yet, why not hold a clinical trial for Ivermectin? Isn’t it the DoH’s and FDA’s refusal to hold clinical trial for the COVID-19 vaccines has deprived us from being one of the first recipients of the vaccine?

Actually, FDA has been notorious for sitting on applications for its accreditation. Remember the rapid test kits which it sat on for a few months before giving it a thumbs up? At that time, other countries were using those kits for mass testing.

While this is not connected to the COVID-19 issue, this information fed to us by a source would show how incompetent FDA is when it comes to application for accreditation. The following are just three of the medicines pending approval from the FDA: (a) Erysaa (20200110163926) - Erythropoiesis-Stimulating Agent (ESA); Submitted: Mar. 03, 2020; Status: For evaluation (awaiting approval from FDA).

(b) V-lief (20190607101533) Cough Syrup; Submitted: June 18, 2019; Status: For cross evaluation (awaiting approval from FDA.)

(c) Hemo Rid (Shelf-life Extension (20201007123034) Vasoprotective; May 2020 – disapproved; Resubmitted: Jan. 12, 2021; Status: For Pre-assessment So, what has the FDA and DoH been doing all along? Keeping affordable treatments away from the reach of the ordinary people?

As I have mentioned earlier, text messages circulated regarding the raid on the warehouse of a certain Dr. Allan.

The message reads as follows: “Guys, I just got word that the DOH raided the warehouse of Dr. Landrito to confiscate and stop the sales of Ivermectin. This is the height of heartlessness. They are protecting the pharma industry to the detriment of the welfare of the people. How many people will get sick &/or die of Covid due to this?”

A few hours later, a re-worded message circulated: “Yesterday one of our doctors suddenly received a surprise visit from the FDA, after which he was asked to stop dispensing Ivermectin. Because a Government agency has asked us to do this and because disobeying that agency could put our Doctors in legal peril, we regret to announce that we will be forced to comply. But we cannot just stand by and watch as our people are deprived of this life-saving medication. And so we are asking that you write, text or call Congress, the Senate and the Office of the President to let them know that you want access to this safe and effective drug that could prevent you and your loved ones from catching COVID-19.

Please also write, text or call FDA Head Eric Domingo and remind him that his job is to ensure that the country can readily avail of the best and most efficacious drugs possible and that Ivermectin is one of these, as demonstrated by its four decades-long safety record.

The FDA can best serve the country at such a time as this by immediately working with Dr. Allan Landrito and prioritizing his application for a License to Operate, after which a Certificate of Product Registration should be granted for Ivermectin. The FDA can further truly serve the Filipino people by allowing the fast-tracking of the permits of responsible and reliable toll manufacturers to begin to produce Ivermectin capsules locally,” the message read in full.

It's high time the DoH and the FDA revisited the issue of Ivermectin and conduct real tests on its effectiveness. The more they dilly-dally, then the more they put the lives of the people in danger. And they cannot escape responsibility for whatever would happen to them, much more from the blood that would blemish their hands.

If they cannot, then they better resign. If not, then they have to be prepared when the clock strikes 12:01 on June 30, 2022 when they become ordinary mortals again.

The text block:

I’ve been pushing Ivermectin here for at least a few months at this point.

IANAD or public health professional, but my understanding is that technically, the vaccines are not “approved”, but rather have “emergency use authorizations.” These EUAs could only be granted if there were no available effective therapeutics. So the FedGov public health establishment had to refuse to recognize the efficacy of HCQ and Ivermectin-based therapies in order to be able to grant those EUAs. By doing this, they greatly increased the death and suffering due to Covid.

If we had a public health edifice that was worth anything, front line health care workers and public-facing store employees would be on Covid prophylaxis, and could have been for months. The Federal public health agencies (FDA/NIH/CDC) have seemingly completely ignored cheap effective re-purposed therapeutics that could have significantly reduced deaths and transmission.

“Nagsusulat ako tungkol sa Ivermectin batay sa nabasa ko at mula sa ipinaliwanag sa akin ng mga medikal na doktor.”

Noong nakaraang Sabado, nairehistro ng Pilipinas ang pinakamataas na solong araw na mga kaso ng impeksyon sa Covid-19 sa 7,999, isang maliit lamang sa walong libo. Ito ay isang araw matapos magrehistro ng 7,103 mga kaso; noong Linggo, mayroong 7,757 mga bagong kaso.
Ilang oras lamang bago mai-post ng Kagawaran ng Kalusugan ang pang-araw-araw na bilang ng mga kaso ng COVID-19 sa website nito, kumalat ang mga alingawngaw na ang klinika o bahay ng isang tiyak na si Dr. Allan Landrito, na naghatid lamang ng isang online na talakayan tungkol sa paggamit ng Ivermectin laban sa kinatatakutan Ang virus ng COVID-19, ay sinalakay ng mga tauhan ng DoH, na kinumpiska ang mga kahon ng tinaguriang gamot na himala.
Ang isang text message na umikot sa paglaon ay muling sinabi sa ulat na “bisitahin.” Tatalakayin ko iyon mamaya.
Una sa lahat, hindi ako dalubhasa sa medisina at hindi ako maghahabol na ako ay isa. Nagsusulat ako tungkol sa Ivermectin batay sa nabasa ko at mula sa ipinaliwanag sa akin ng mga medikal na doktor.
Binalaan tayo ng DoH at ng Food and Drug Administration laban sa paggamit ng Ivermectin, isang gamot na kontra-parasitiko na nagsasabing ang laki ng sample ng paggamit nito laban sa COVID-19 ay medyo maliit at hindi talaga sapat upang magwakas. Ito, bukod sa ang katunayan na ang gamot na ito ay ginagamit para sa mga hayop.
Aba! Sadya bang nakaliligaw ng FDA ang publiko sa pamamagitan ng pag-alis ng isang napakahalagang katotohanan: Na mayroong isang antas ng tao na Ivermectin?
Sabagay Kung ang pagtatalo ay ang maliit na sample na sukat, kung gayon bakit nagbigay ng “mahabagin na pahintulot” ang FDA sa mga nais makamit ang napakamahal na Remdesivir na iniulat na nagkakahalaga ng P2,000 bawat kurso, para sa kanilang paggamot sa COVID-19?
Gaano kabisa talaga ang Ivermectin at ano ang pinaka-nakasisilaw na kalamangan laban sa ibang mahal na gamot?
Una, ayon sa ilang mga taong nakapanayam ko, nagkakahalaga lamang ito ng P50 isang tablet (o kapsula) at kinukuha lang nila ito minsan bawat dalawang linggo, bilang prophylaxis o para sa pag-iwas; o isang tablet sa isang araw sa loob ng apat na araw para sa paggamot ng COVID-19.
Ngayon, sa isyu ng pagiging epektibo nito. Noong nakaraang Enero, matapos gumawa ng isang passive na rekomendasyon na hindi para sa o laban sa gamot, na-upgrade ng National Institute of Health ng US ang rekomendasyon nito sa Ivermectin, ginagawa itong isang pagpipilian para magamit laban sa COVID-19.
Upang mapatunayan ang pagiging epektibo ng gamot, ang All-Indian Institute of Medical Science ng Bhubaneswar, Dr. Batmanabane ay avers na mayroong oras na “hindi bababa sa 20 hanggang 25 ng kanilang mga manggagawa sa pangangalagang pangkalusugan ang nahawaan ng virus araw-araw.”
Ngunit pagkatapos magsimulang kumuha ng Ivermectin ang mga manggagawa, ang bilang ng mga impeksyon ay bumaba sa isa o dalawa bawat araw.
Ang Association of American Physicians and Surgeons ay nagbahagi din ng kanilang pag-aaral na nagpakita ng kanais-nais na mga resulta.
“Ang mga pasyente ay namamatay, habang higit sa isang bilyong dosis ang ginamit mula pa noong 1980 ng napaka ligtas na gamot na ito. Marahil sa pagbabagong ito, ang mga pasyente ay hindi mangangailangan ng utos ng korte upang makakuha ng isang nakakaligtas na gamot, ”ayon sa executive director ng AAPS na si Dr. Jane Orient.
Ang Frontline Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance ay suportado din ng gamot na nagsasabing “Ang Ivermectin ay isa sa pinakaligtas, pinakamura at pinaka malawak na magagamit na mga gamot.
“Ang mga pag-aaral na ipinakita namin sa NIH ay nagsiwalat ng mataas na antas ng istatistikang kahalagahan na nagpapakita ng malaking pakinabang sa lakas sa mga rate ng paghahatid, kailangan para sa ospital at kamatayan,” sabi ni Dr. Pierre Kory ng FLCCC, na, sa pamamagitan ng paraan, ay isang mapagkukunan para sa US Ang Kongreso ng Senado sa COVID-19.
Sa katunayan, ang mga bansa sa buong mundo ay gumagamit ng Ivermectin bilang paggamot para sa COVID-19. Ang Slovakia ay naging unang bansa sa European Union. Sinundan ito ng Mexico City, Haiti at Peru, Sa Brazil, India, Turkey, Poland at Dominican Republic, pinag-aaralan ang data.
Ang aming sariling mga Nag-aalala na Mga Doktor at Mamamayan ng Pilipinas ay nagbahagi din ng kanilang posisyon sa Ivermectin na nagsasabing hanggang ngayon, “22 porsyento ng mundo ang gumagamit na ng Ivermectin upang matagumpay na labanan ang COVID-19. Ang maramihang mga pag-aaral at meta-analysis ay kumpirmahin ang pagiging epektibo ng Ivermectin, isang ligtas na gamot sa bibig na ginamit nang higit sa 40 taon para sa iba pang mga karamdaman sa mga tao, “na binabanggit ang buod ng pang-agham na katibayan sa Ivermectin kumpara sa COVID 19 mula sa Ivmmeta.com.
Ang isang artikulo na inilathala sa Manila Times ay nagsasaad na ang “mga kalamangan” sa paggamit ng Ivermectin upang gamutin ang COVID-19 ay talagang mas malaki kaysa sa “kahinaan.”
Ayon sa artikulo, “ang argumento na ang orihinal na paggamit ay Beterinaryo, o na ang layunin ay para sa mga parasito, hindi man dapat itinaas bilang pagiging kapaki-pakinabang ng cross species o paggamit ng mga gamot na naiiba mula sa orihinal na hangarin sa pagsasaliksik ay pangkaraniwan hindi dapat maging itinaas, bagaman ang pag-aangkop sa mga pag-aaral ay dapat unahin. Ang mga isyu sa dosis at pang-aabuso ay totoo para sa lahat ng mga gamot at madaling tugunan ng payo kaysa sa hindi pagkuha ng mga isyu. “
“Halos lahat ng huli na napatunayan na gamot ay nagsisimula sa mga obserbasyon at mga testimonial ng kaso, kasama ang maraming mga base ng teoretikal para sa Ivermectin na maging kapaki-pakinabang. Ang lahat ng mga gamot ay maaaring mapanganib kung aabuso. Tulad ng halos lahat ng napatunayan na mabisang mga halamang gamot o remedyo na malawak na magagamit at hindi kapaki-pakinabang para sa mga parmasyutiko na gumawa ng malawak na pagsusuri, ang malawak na magagamit na gamot na ito ay hindi isang priyoridad para sa mga parmasyutiko o institusyon, “binanggit ng artikulo.
Kakatwa, totoo ito. Inirekomenda ba ng DoH at ng FDA o anumang iba pang ahensya ng gobyerno ang pag-aaral o paggamit ng tawa-tawa sa paggamot sa dengue? Ngunit maraming mga doktor, kabilang ang pedyatrisyan ng aming mga anak ang nagrekomenda ng paggamit nito mula pa.
Maliit na sample na pagsubok? Muli, pumunta kami sa naaawaing permiso ng FDA para sa Remdesivir. O mas mabuti pa, bakit hindi ka maghawak ng isang klinikal na pagsubok para sa Ivermectin? Hindi ba ang pagtanggi ng DoH at ng FDA na magsagawa ng klinikal na pagsubok para sa mga bakunang COVID-19 ay pinagkaitan tayo mula sa pagiging isa sa mga unang tatanggap ng bakuna?
Sa totoo lang, naging bantog ang FDA sa pag-upo sa mga aplikasyon para sa accreditation nito. Naaalala ang mabilis na mga kit ng pagsubok kung saan ito nakaupo ng ilang buwan bago ito bigyan ng thumbs up? Sa oras na iyon, ang ibang mga bansa ay gumagamit ng mga kit para sa pagsubok sa masa.
Habang hindi ito nakakonekta sa isyu ng COVID-19, ang impormasyong ito na ibinigay sa amin ng isang mapagkukunan ay magpapakita kung gaano kakulangan ang FDA pagdating sa aplikasyon para sa accreditation. Ang mga sumusunod ay tatlo lamang sa mga gamot na nakabinbin ang pag-apruba mula sa FDA: (a) Erysaa (20200110163926) - Erythropoiesis-Stimulate Agent (ESA); Isinumite: Marso 03, 2020; Katayuan: Para sa pagsusuri (naghihintay ng pag-apruba mula sa FDA).
(b) V-lief (20190607101533) Cough Syrup; Isinumite: Hunyo 18, 2019; Katayuan: Para sa pagsusuri ng krus (naghihintay ng pag-apruba mula sa FDA.)
(c) Hemo Rid (Shelf-life Extension (20201007123034) Vasoprotective; May 2020 - hindi naaprubahan; Isinumite ulit: Ene 12, 2021; Katayuan: Para sa Paunang pagtatasa
Kaya, ano ang ginagawa ng FDA at DoH sa kabuuan? Pagpapanatili ng abot-kayang paggamot na malayo sa maabot ng ordinaryong tao?
Tulad ng nabanggit ko kanina, kumalat ang mga text message patungkol sa pagsalakay sa bodega ng isang tiyak na si Dr. Allan.
Ang mensahe ay nababasa tulad ng sumusunod: “Guys, may balita lang ako na sinalakay ng DOH ang bodega ni Dr. Landrito upang kumpiskahin at pigilan ang mga benta ng Ivermectin. Ito ang taas ng walang puso. Pinoprotektahan nila ang industriya ng pharma na nakakasama sa kapakanan ng mga tao. Ilan ang mga taong magkakasakit & / o mamatay sa Covid dahil dito? “
Makalipas ang ilang oras, umikot ang isang muling mensahe na mensahe:
“Kahapon ang isa sa aming mga doktor ay biglang nakatanggap ng sorpresa na pagbisita mula sa FDA, at pagkatapos ay tinanong siya na ihinto ang pagbibigay ng Ivermectin. Dahil ang isang ahensya ng Pamahalaan ay humiling sa amin na gawin ito at dahil sa pagsuway sa ahensya na maaaring ilagay sa panganib sa ligal ang aming mga Doktor, nagsisi kaming ipahayag na mapipilitan kaming sumunod.
Ngunit hindi lamang tayo maaaring manatili at manuod habang ang ating mga tao ay pinagkaitan ng gamot na nakakatipid ng buhay. At kaya hinihiling namin sa iyo na sumulat, mag-text o tumawag sa Kongreso, Senado at Tanggapan ng Pangulo upang ipaalam sa kanila na nais mo ang pag-access sa ligtas at mabisang gamot na ito na maaaring hadlangan ka at ang iyong mga mahal sa buhay na mahuli ang COVID-19.
Mangyaring sumulat din, mag-text o tumawag sa Head ng FDA na si Eric Domingo at ipaalala sa kanya na ang kanyang trabaho ay upang matiyak na ang bansa ay madaling makagamit ng pinakamahusay at pinakamabisang gamot na posible at ang Ivermectin ay isa sa mga ito, tulad ng ipinakita ng apat na dekada nitong haba tala pangkaligtasan.
Ang FDA ay maaaring maghatid ng mabuti sa bansa sa isang oras tulad nito sa pamamagitan ng agarang pagtatrabaho kasama si Dr. Allan Landrito at unahin ang kanyang aplikasyon para sa isang Lisensya na Patakbuhin, pagkatapos na ang isang sertipiko ng Pagrehistro ng Produkto ay dapat ibigay para sa Ivermectin. Ang FDA ay maaaring higit na makapaglingkod sa sambayanang Pilipino sa pamamagitan ng pagpapahintulot sa mabilis na pagsubaybay sa mga pahintulot ng mga responsable at maaasahang tagagawa ng toll na magsimulang gumawa nang lokal na mga kapsula ng Ivermectin, ”buong mensahe na binasa.
Panahon na ng muling binisita ng DoH at ng FDA ang isyu ng Ivermectin at nagsagawa ng totoong mga pagsubok sa pagiging epektibo nito. Mas lalo silang dumidally, pagkatapos ay mas inilalagay nila sa panganib ang buhay ng mga tao. At hindi nila matatakasan ang responsibilidad para sa anumang mangyari sa kanila, higit na higit sa dugo na makakapinsala sa kanilang mga kamay.
Kung hindi nila magawa, mas mabuti na silang magbitiw sa tungkulin. Kung hindi, dapat silang maging handa kapag umabot ang orasan 12:01 sa Hunyo 30, 2022 kapag sila ay naging ordinaryong mortal muli.

The story of wu-flu is sadly distorted by a witches brew of facts, success, corruption and downright greed.

The present postings by the CDC remind me of the early years of Ivermectin marketed for horses.

When ivermectin became available in 1981, it was a miracle dug for worms.

It was a wonderful improvement for the treatment of horses for worms. The methods before ivermec were troublesome and expensive, requiring either boluses and a balling gun or tubing administered by a veterinarian.

The treatment for dogs with worms were not quite as troublesome, but neither were they very effective.

Some one found that ivermectin worked well with dogs and the news spread rapidly among those who had large kennels of hunting dogs. A big deal because large numbers of dogs confined for years in a kennel creates a constant battle against worms.

So we would buy the paste made for horses and dose the dogs with it. The amounts given each dog was a mix of guess and luck. Guess because we had no accurate information and luck because many dogs disliked the taste and the resulting struggle would cause an over or under dose.

Asking for advice from the local vet would lead to a very stern lecture about the dangers of ivermec to dogs. It will blind them, make them zombies with reduced mental behavior and very likely to kill them.

So many dog owners would leave the dog with the veterinarian happy that they had learned of the dangers and trusting him/her to treat the dogs with an approved medication.

And the vet would take the dog into the examining room and give it ivermectin because it was the easiest and cheapest way to treat the dog and worked better than the approved treatment.

Later we learned that ivermectin for cattle or pigs measured in a syringe according to body weight was the way to go and literally millions of dogs have been dosed that way in the years since.

Of course we learned along the way that collies and any shepherd breed was not to be dosed with ivermec.

The moral to this long story?

A high sounding degree in medicine or anything else does not guarantee truthfulness and honesty especially where there is a financial reward involved.
