Doubt it is available in Oregon

I identified as a horse, took the paste and never got covid.

Ivermectin, ‘Wonder drug’ from Japan: the human use perspective Feb. 10, 2011 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Discovered in the late-1970s, the pioneering drug ivermectin, a dihydro derivative of avermectin—originating solely from a single microorganism isolated at the Kitasato Intitute, Tokyo, Japan from Japanese soil—has had an immeasurably beneficial impact in improving the lives and welfare of billions of people throughout the world.

(snip)

There are few drugs that can seriously lay claim to the title of ‘Wonder drug’, penicillin and aspirin being two that have perhaps had greatest beneficial impact on the health and wellbeing of Mankind. But ivermectin can also be considered alongside those worthy contenders, based on its versatility, safety and the beneficial impact that it has had, and continues to have, worldwide—especially on hundreds of millions of the world’s poorest people.

meh i took it when i got covid- likely the omicron variant, and back when i got covid 19 before it morphed or mutated- it either didn’t do much to alleviate symptoms OR, i would have been much worse off if i hadn’t taken it- Was in bed 5 days-

BUT- i’ve had a couple of other colds and flues since then and i can say it really helped reduce symptoms- others were suffering around me, and i breezed right through them- but the omicron? Not so much for whatever reason (But lemme say the dose suggestiosn have changed a coupel of times- i n the beginnign we were told to take one dose, then 2 days later another dose- because it apparently builds up and you can overdose if taking it back to bakc- but later i’ve seen suggestiosn for higher doses or take more often- so not really sure i took it right- i waited 2 days before my secodn dose- so maybe that had somethign to do with it?)

Liberals will still scream in your face that it’s horse medicine. They always believe any propaganda that fits their ridiculous, preconceived notions.

[fr_freak]

To his credit he was concerned that some may take the wrong dose and told people how to figure out the correct dose.

Even that is a little bit of BS. From what I've learned about it, Ivermectin is extremely difficult to overdose on. It's roughly as safe as aspirin.

It was not necessary to “sue the FDA”, the FDA does not have and never has had the authority to restrict any physician from prescribing any licensed medicine for any reason.

Hydroxychloroquine has been licensed since 1955. Ivermectin has been licensed since 1998.

We had hydroxychloroquine + azithromycin as our standard medical protocol for hospitalized patients with COVID from February-June 2020 (by which time it was apparent that it had no effect).

We never used ivermectin because there is no evidence of an effect in hospitalized patients.

However, had I wished to use ivermectin, the FDA would have had no authority to attempt to regulate my practice, just as they had none to regulate our use of hydroxychloroquine.

[Polynikes]

It's actually safer. Lookup the LD-50 dosage of Ivermectin.

That's the dosage used to determine lethality.

To even approach a potentially lethal dose you would have to swallow an entire 500cc bottle at 1cc=10mg of Ivermectin all at once to even approach a lethal dose. Its easily available on Amazon.

Not saying its impossible just that you would have to be really dumb to use Ivermectin to attempt an OD.

We never used ivermectin because there is no evidence of an effect in hospitalized patients.

In the case of hospitalized patients, yes, it's true. But if it's true that covid is biphasic, that in the first phase, you expect the virus to be attacking the upper airway, but in the second phase, when it's lower in the trachea, the bronchi, those cells are more vulnerable, then ivermectin would be insufficient. That would be the development that would call for bigger guns - large doses of anti-inflammatories, anticoagulants, antihistamines. The right medications have to be used at the right times. I've been taking 3mg. ivermectin (with 15mg. Zn gluconate every alternate day and 2000iu vit. D daily) prophylactically since Oct. 2020. If I had the slightest notion that I were coming down with something, I would immediately titrate up to 6mg. And let me tell you, it was hard to acquire. I only take it Oct. through March. If the supply were not so precarious, I would probably take it year round.

[definitelynotaliberal]

Wow! I’m blown away.

A dr. friend, whose father had been a pharmacist, told me he’d call in a script for me anywhere, but it would have to be an independent or compounding pharmacy. I tried so many. Even the compounding pharmacies were hesitant. Eventually, I found one, and I also ordered some from India, but I got no such letter. CA is gone.

So do all those Doctors get their licenses back? How about compensation for lost income and legal expenses?

[madison10]

Ivermectin didn’t work for me. I had the intestinal version of COVID, though. The ivermectin seemed to work for my husband, he never got COVID.

if it's true that covid is biphasic, that in the first phase, you expect the virus to be attacking the upper airway, but in the second phase, when it's lower in the trachea, the bronchi, those cells are more vulnerable, then ivermectin would be insufficient.

I think that's what doctors believed in the beginning.

To use your word "biphasic," I think the first phase is as you suggest except that it's the entry point of the virus through the sinuses.

The second phase is more of a blood disease of the endothelial cells that line the inner walls of the blood vessels. It is here that the virus binds to the ACE2 receptors, increases the production of super-oxidants (free radicals) and blocks the production of the anti-oxidant glutathione. This leads to oxidative stress, the production of hydrogen peroxide inside the body, and then the pulmonary disorders that you describe as the second phase.

Quercetin and zinc is good for treating the first phase; NAC is good for treating the second phase.

Man, I feel sorry for you people who got jabbed. Actually I don’t because you ripped on me for not taking it.

[grey_whiskers]

Thanks for the link.

Got any studies showing the prevalence of these issues in people?

(I have an article of a retrospective review of Ivermectin long before COVID, covering over 120 million cases, which shows a severe adverse effect rate of 1/800,000.)

[minnesota_bound]

They murdered untold number of people by denying this inexpensive drug they knew worked to kill virus’s.

Not only did they lie & intentionally kill untold numbers of people, they cashed in and got rich at the same time - millions of lives destroyed, families & countries irrevocably damaged, economies destroyed. Death for profit on a global scale. Truly evil.

[absalom01]

Showed me that things had really progressed (or regressed) quickly during the covid.

There’s no going back to constitutional government for Cali at this point.

[Cobra64]

The local doctor in CA said it was not FDA approved. I told him. Erick had a patent on it since 1985 for River Blindness. We couldn’t get it in CA, so I called our doctor in NC and he shipped a few boxes of 6 and 3 mg IVM tablets.

[Spacetrucker]

I remember that post. Damn, how dumb that person must feel.

[fortes fortuna juvat]

How did you convince your person to prescribe it or did you find a different source?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I found information online how to order Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine in tablet form from India. Friends laughed and said I’d been scammed. Three weeks later it was in my mailbox. Cost: about $80 for 90 tablets of each one. Decided early on the vaccine thing was the real scam. Tested twice for Covid, negative both times.

Virtually everyone I’m acquainted with thinks Cali citizens are simpleminded and laughable!
