Ivermectin shows great success in treating COVID-19: Recent news of its ability to rapidly halt and reverse Covid-19 continues to be confirmed.

Recent news of ivermectin’s ability to rapidly halt and reverse Covid-19 at every stage of the disease continues to be confirmed.

Safe, inexpensive, widely available, with a decades-long track record, and even a Nobel Prize attached to it, the drug recently cleared National Institute of Health (NIH) hurdles to be an allowed treatment for Covid-19. Frontline doctors using the drug to great success argue it needs to be adopted widely and rapidly.

With public health benefits unattainable by vaccination alone, ivermectin may be poised to effect an end to the vast majority of death and suffering, both physical and financial, wrought by the pandemic.

It is a drug, then, that everyone needs to know about and many should have on their shelf.

One of the most notable physicians to take up ivermectin’s cause is Yale School of Medicine Professor and renowned cancer researcher Dr. Alessandro Santin. The head of a large laboratory at Yale and author of over 250 science publications, Dr. Santin is renowned in his field for pioneering a treatment used worldwide for the most aggressive form of uterine cancer.

“The bottom line is that ivermectin works. I’ve seen that in my patients as well as treating my own family in Italy,” Dr. Santin said in an interview with Mary Beth Pfieffer of Trial Site, referring to his father, who recovered at age 88 from a serious bout of Covid-19 after receiving the drug.

“We must find a way to administer it on a large scale to a lot of people.”

Dr. Santin joins and rapidly growing number of frontline doctors championing the drug as a near miracle in Covid-19 treatment. At the lead is Dr. Pierre Kory, President and Chief Medical Officer of the President of the Frontline COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC). Dr. Kory and his colleagues formed the FLCCC Alliance as “a group of highly published, world renowned Critical Care physician/scholars – with the academic support of allied physicians from around the world.”

Their advocacy for ivermectin began in October of 2020, “based on a review of the recent and rapidly emerging clinical trials evidence,” from around the world “showing repeated, consistent, large magnitude improvements” at every stage, whether administered as a preventative or for severe cases. Reports from South America were also promising. Large scale “natural experiments” occurred when regional health ministries there began ivermectin distribution campaigns. Decreased cases and death rates followed.

Dr. Santin’s journey into Covid-19 treatment began when 10 to 20 percent of his cancer patients began showing up with the disease. Because comorbidities like cancer are leading indicators of risk of death, to find effective treatments was imperative.

In January, the NIH reversed its advisory against using ivermectin to allow treatment outside of clinical trials. Immediately, the majority of patients receiving ivermectin saw dramatic improvement in one to three days, particularly those suffering from problems breathing, severe fatigue, and chest pain.

“When you have people that can’t breathe for five, six, eight, nine months and they tried multiple drugs and supplements with no success, and you give them ivermectin,” Dr. Santin said in the interview, “and you see that they start immediately feeling better, this is not placebo. This is real.”

One Free Press Media Group editor experienced the same results after battling a lingering case of Covid-19. Although, sense of taste and smell returned on their own within a week, and shortness of breath resolved not long after, fatigue continued for weeks. Learning in December of the results of a just published meta-analysis of 26 other studies, our editor acquired ivermectin and recovered from symptoms less than forty-eight hours after the first dose. Less than a month later, the same meta-study influenced NIH’s new stance.

Other recoveries have been much more dramatic.

Pfieffer reports:

Sam Dann is the poster boy for what covid can do to a muscular, active 41-year-old and regular jogger. Like many other patients, he was sent home after a positive test last July with the advice to “drink Gatorade and take Tylenol.”

Over the next months, “I went through an absolute living hell,” . . . worse than three tours in Iraq.

He experienced crippling fatigue, anxiety, sleeplessness and nightmares, uncontrollable tremors, a racing heartbeat, and an inability to think straight or recall basic information. He could not work.

Some six months into his grueling odyssey, Dann got a 10-day prescription for ivermectin. The vertigo went away almost immediately. The tremors calmed. The nights were difficult but gradually improved. The pain went from 8, on a scale of 10, to 1 to 3. “I still get weird feelings here and there,” he told me, “but I’m nowhere near where I used to be.”

Then there is the experience of Judith Smentkiewicz, an 80-year-old Buffalo woman. She contracted covid in December and quickly required a ventilator. When her doctors predicted another month in the ICU and only a 20 percent chance of survival, family members began their own research. They learned of ivermectin and her doctors agreed to administer it.

Twelve days into her ordeal, Smentkiewicz received her first dose. Within 48 hours, she had improved so dramatically her doctors moved her out of the ICU.

Doctors in the new unit, however, refused to continue ivermectin treatment. Her condition declined, but they continued to refuse until the family obtained a court order forcing the hospital to renew the treatment. Thereupon, Smentkiewicz again began to recover. Shortly thereafter, she transferred to a rehabilitation facility.

“It is a miracle from where she was,” the family’s attorney, Ralph Lorigo, told Pfieffer.

The case for ivermectin as a Covid-19 treatment now encompasses a weighty body of research. Forty-six trials to date represent the work of 371 scientists, and 15,480 patients. Twenty-four of these were randomized control trials.

The drug’s track record for safety is also well established. Billions of doses have been prescribed worldwide since the 1980s. It is also safe for children, for whom it is commonly prescribed for head lice. In 2012, 99 million people in Africa received the drug. Ivermectin’s developers won the 2015 Nobel Prize in Medicine for the human suffering ivermectin alleviated during its 40-plus years as a an anti-parasitic.

According to Drs. Santin and Kory, the need for widespread recognition and use of ivermectin as our most effective Covid-19 treatment remains great.

Echoing our editor’s first-hand experience with doctors in Pennsylvania and at the Cleveland Clinic in December, Pfieffer summarizes the current standard of care: “Newly diagnosed covid patients are typically told, as they have been for a year: Go home, take acetaminophen [Tylenol] perhaps, and go to the hospital when breathing gets tough.”

In other words, to get treatment you have to get sicker. You must let the virus continue to replicate until your body enters the inflammatory stage, typified by pulmonary issues.

However as Smentkiewicz and her family discovered, hospital treatment without ivermectin is not necessarily effective.

“When you are an inpatient with severe covid right now,” Dr. Santin said, “you give them a steroid, you give them heparin and remdesivir. That’s it. If they improve, great. If they get worse, you unfortunately keep on watching them die.”

“I was very disappointed, and I’m still very disappointed, about the treatment protocols that we currently are providing to patients,” he added.

This is why he and others like Dr. Kory and his colleagues at the FLCCC Alliance are speaking out.

The new vaccines do not grant full immunity, are irrelevant to existing cases, and haven’t been authorized for children. In addition, many question the need for vaccinations with vanishingly low mortality rates, such as individuals under age 50. Others prefer to wait until new vaccines prove their results over time. Polls show 25 percent of Americans do not plan to get a covid vaccine.

Ivermectin is expected, therefore, to be a valuable therapeutic against Covid-19 well into the future.

It is amazing to me how the regulators have streamlined the regulations for the novel vaccines, yet they seem to want more trials and testing on tried and true drugs like Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine.

WTF! A court order? Is this what American medicine has descended to where patients have to go to court in order to be treated with the medication they want in order to survive? SMH.

First responder here. I’ve read the studies.

Been on it since January. So far, so good.

".... Dr Fauci is deeply troubled by the news....."

Bill Gates too.

And anybody else making money under the table because of this "pandemic" and vaccines for it.

And yet many doctors were outcast, fired and publicly shamed because they extolled the use of Hydroxychloroquine +zinc to treat covid, a drug that is FDA approved for over 75 years, inexpensive and available over the counter in many parts of the world to treat malaria.

The use of Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin could probably have saved over 90% of all lives lost to this corona virus.

Even without complex treatments and expensive drugs, the survivability of the covid disease is 99.8%.

It's not about the drugs, which are readily available and cheap, but about the politics and agendas of those using this "pandemic" to stuff their pockets with tons of money. Doctors and hospitals are paid good money to code all of their patients maladies as covid.

The CDC reports that over 90% of the deaths reported due to covid were not directly attributable to the virus itself, but common comorbidities of patients. If you died from lung cancer, you were coded as covid.

Intelligent people see right through this lying and hypocrisy about treating this disease for the profits to be made.

Amazing the lengths some will go to to avoid a safe and effective vaccine.

This a good video from a doc on how the fedgov botched the Covid mess. Unfortunately, I can only find it on Facebook. It mentions Ivermectin.

I suspect they gave that to my sister but I don’t think they told her. She jus said they gave her “Covid meds”.

I’m not a so-called ‘big pharma apologist’, but why should we believe that a drug that we have never seen advertised on soap operas and doesn’t make billions for drug companies can be effective against the virus? Seems to me that it already has two strikes against it, from the start. (don’t laugh, that’s probably what the FDA thinks)

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Post of the day.

It’s Trump’s fault. He could have saved thousands of lives if he had condemned it as “fake medicine”.

None of the published prophylaxis or treatment protocols use high doses
Treatment protocols for a normal adult are roughly one 12 mg dose on day 1 and another on day 3

The full Monty treatment adds 5 days of daily doxycycline and zinc
See a typical treatment pack used in most countries that practice early treatment. In other countries these ‘ dangerous’ drugs are sold over the counter

https://ziverdo-kit.com/

Prophylaxis continues a single ivermectin dose( about 12 mg, depending on body weight) every 2-3 weeks

Anecdotal reports about half or more medical workers are using this quietly

But undoubtedly someone is working on a study that will figure out how high a dose to use to cause side effects...and then that will be used as an excuse to deny and ban this drug

Effective against what?
Vaccination does not stop infection or transmission to others.
Ivermectin on the other hand...

Far too soon to cal the ongoing experimental trials a success...lets see what happens to a vax population when the next round of viruses hits...6-12 months.

Actually, the vaccines do stop infection and transmission.

There is a full md doc black guy from Houston(?) on youtube who showed how to use it. Go look there. It is extremely straightforward.

I’m giving no medical advice. He is.
