Omaha doctor touts use of Ivermectin for COVID-19 treatment: Others medical experts says drug is unproven

It's called Ivermectin, a broad-spectrum, anti-parasitic agent.

Some physicians around the world are using it to treat COVID-19 including Omaha doctor Louis Safranek.

"I typically use it in combination with other agents. But I do prescribe it for virtually all the patients who come to me, as part of a treatment regimen, which I think is effective for folks," Safranek said.

Safranek is a Harvard Medical School graduate who has specialized in infectious diseases for 40 years.

He says he's treated nearly 200 patients at home and in hospitals using Ivermectin and a number of other treatments.

"None have died at none have ended up on a ventilator. Of my outpatients who I have treated, only one, of the dozens that I've treated, has even ended up in the hospital," Safranek said.

He helped Carrol Burrell.

The 80-year-old Omaha woman survived two battles with COVID-19, the second after she had been fully vaccinated.

"I was better the next day, not well but better," Burrell said.

"And each day, I got better. And now I am over it," Burrell said.

But other U.S. and world health organizations, including the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, say Ivermectin is not proven yet.

"Further studies need to be done to show Ivermectin has utility in the treatment of COVID-19," said UNMC Medical Director of Infectious Disease Dr. Mark Rupp.

Rupp said UNMC uses a number of methods including monoclonal antibody treatment for outpatients. And drugs like Remdesavir for hospital patients.

"We, in general, have shied away from Ivermectin," Rupp said.

Safranek says Ivermectin, unlike hydroxychloroquine, has few side effects and Ivermectin is inexpensive.

He said his most important message is to get treatment early.

"If people are intent on getting back to normal, if they want to socialize normally, If they become symptomatic they need to get tested. And if possible, reach out for treatment that might be of benefit," Safranek said.

You don’t die of Covid-19 or the regular flu for that matter.

You die of the opportunistic bacterial infection it sets the stage for.

That’s why antibiotics keep people from dying of it.

One expert on early treatment said your 2 biggest risk factors for dying from covid are the government you live under, and the doctor you choose

Maybe people who died from the wuhan coronavirus had their lung damaged by their immune systems.

But the same thing can be said about the "vaccines."

Here is your answer:

“I typically use it in combination with other agents”


People who use it Ivermectin successfully use it with other things.

RE: That’s why antibiotics keep people from dying of it.

The Ivermectin Protocol is a COCKTAIL.

Here’s an example:

https://covid19criticalcare.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/FLCCC-Alliance-I-MASKplus-Protocol-ENGLISH.pdf

Dr. Thomas Borody, an Australian gastroenterologist who is known for curing peptic ulcers with triple antibiotic therapy, has revealed that one block in South America that received Ivermectin combination prophylaxis did not contract coronavirus infection while others did.

Dr. Borody uses this protocol:

https://watcot.org/ivermectin-is-the-cure-to-end-this-madness/

Quadruple Therapy includes Ivermectin 12 mg one dose, Doxycycline 100 mg once a day for four days, Zinc 50 mg once a day for four days and Vitamin D3 once a week. Ivermectin, Doxycycline and Zinc are to be repeated every 14 days and Vitamin D3 every week with blood levels monitored. The synergistic effect of these medicine acts to prevent viral multiplication and also stop the virus from entering human cells.

Vitamin D3 every week with blood levels monitored


People with good levels shouldn’t even start taking it.

this is insane

its not like they havent found other drugs they then prescribe for off-label treatments

if thet were actually concerned about saving lives vecause covid is so awful and deadly, they’d do it

but its about jabbing people with a death shot, not saving their lives and making a buttload of money in the process, no liability

sounds smart - must keep testing a decades-long proven drug, but meanwhile get injected by an unproven substance called a “vaccine”.

If the medical community had been actively using it in the beginning while waiting for a vaccine (or herd immunity), we would know a lot more about it now. But they had to destroy Trump first, at whatever cost it took. There is no punishment too severe for the leftists and Deep State in this country.
