A Japanese conglomerate has found that the anti-parasitic drug ivermectin is effective and safe for the treatment of the coronavirus Omicron variant, according to a phase III clinical trial.
Kowa Co. Ltd., a conglomerate with interests in trading, hospitality, and electronics, along with health and medical applications, issued a press release (pdf) on Jan. 31 stating that ivermectin has been found to be effective against Omicron.
Kowa representatives didn’t respond to a request for comment by press time.
The company, working with Kitasato University based in Tokyo, said that ivermectin has the “same antiviral effect” on all “mutant strains,” including Alpha, Delta, and Omicron. Kowa added that ivermectin suppresses invasion of the virus and inhibits its replication.
“[Ivermectin] is expected to be applied as a therapeutic drug (tablet) for all new coronavirus infectious diseases,” the report said.
Ivermectin has been used by the World Health Organization for over 30 years to treat parasitic infections. Volunteers have distributed the drug in African countries where it has been found to be extremely effective, said the Kowa report.
However, the treatment has been mired in controversy during recent times as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved the use of ivermectin as a treatment for COVID-19, even though the drug is used in humans to treat a variety of conditions.
The FDA has refused to respond to a Freedom of Information Act request (FOIA) asking for details about any reports of side effects related to the use of ivermectin in treating COVID-19 while publicly denouncing its usage.
The federal government pays hospitals across the country to treat COVID-19 patients, but the payment is tied to approved methods, and ivermectin is not part of the protocol.
However, families desperate to save their loved ones are resorting to secretly sneaking the drug into hospitals as a last-ditch effort that often ends up helping the infected person recover.
All or part of 22 countries around the globe have approved the use of ivermectin in the treatment of COVID-19, based on multiple studies. Japan has not yet approved ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19.
A bill has been presented to make New Hampshire the first state in the country to make ivermectin part of the approved COVID-19 treatments and offer it as an over-the-counter medication.
“I have absolutely no doubt lives will be saved if human grade ivermectin was available to COVID patients,” state Rep. Leah Cushman, a Republican and also a registered nurse, told The Epoch Times about her proposed bill HB3005.
The detractors of using ivermectin have claimed that the drug is extremely dangerous. “I would never want this medication prescribed to myself or my family and would take legal action against anyone who recommended this to my loved ones,” Dr. David Levine of Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center wrote in his written testimony on the bill.
Dr. Paul Marik, a supporter of using ivermectin, testified that ivermectin “is one of the safest drugs on the face of this planet.”
Marik, who is a co-founder of the physician-comprised advocacy group Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance, said ivermectin is approved for the treatment of viruses in 79 countries.
“So somehow Japanese people, Indian people, Brazilian people can tolerate it safely, but it’s toxic in Americans. You have to be kidding,” Marik said.
Marik was forced to resign from his position at the Eastern Virginia Medical School over legal battles regarding the usage of alternate treatments for COVID-19, including using ivermectin.
Over and over the stupidity repeats itself. It’s like people can’t ever get off stupid. How many times do they have to hear that Ivermectin is as safe as aspirin and it works against the flu? I’m taking it prophylactically and so far this winter I’m flu-free. It’s the first time in years. The great story behind HCQ and Ivermectin is the doctor geniuses who put their heads to the problem and came up with a solution. Unfortunately, it’s not what Big Pharma expected or wanted to have happened because now the meds turn out to be universal treatments against viruses and we don’t need their stink’n annual vaxes anymore.
Ivermectin is approved and the Pfizer experiment is not.
The bride and I both got Omicron and followed FLCCC guidelines and were over it in a few days, never even saw a doctor.
Kowa Ivermectin Confirming antiviral effect on "Omicron strain"

Isn’t Ivermectin both an antibiotic and an antimicrobial, not just a wormer?
I miswrote, it’s not predisone, that my relative with Lupus takes. He takes Plaquenil which is a brand name for hydroxychloroquine.

Need a reference for that claim.

Doc John Campbell talked about this in late November. 17-min presentation.
Thanks for that. I tried running it through a web translater but couldn’t get it to work.
I saw that information in a video and I don’t have an example. But I trusted the source.
Was wondering the same.
I have a friend who takes HCQ, for lupus. I’ve not heard of it, for treating lupus, but wouldn’t be surprised, with all of its qualities.
If I read this right...

...looks like Bastardi just lost both his parents to the coof. And his lawyer tried to get them prescribed Ivermectin while they were hospitalized.
Mr. Bastardi, we’re very sorry for your loss. We’ll keep your family in our prayers.
