FDA Forced to Walk Back Smug Anti-Ivermectin Post, Makes Huge Admission About the Drug
The Western Journal ^ | August 12, 2023 | Warner Todd Huston

After years of denigrating ivermectin as dangerous and as “horse medicine,” the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has been forced to retreat on its all-out attack on the medicine after three doctors sued the agency in federal court for impeding their right as medical providers to prescribe the medicine to their patients.

The FDA made a key admission in court during an Tuesday proceeding in which lawyers for the doctors asked the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals whether doctors have a right to prescribe ivermectin since the FDA approved the drug for use in humans way back in 1986.

So, what was the FDA’s shocking admission?

"FDA explicitly recognizes that doctors do have the authority to prescribe ivermectin to treat COVID,” Ashley Cheung Honold, a Department of Justice lawyer representing the FDA, said on Tuesday during the oral arguments in the case, the Epoch Times reported.

This seems to be a major retreat from the agency’s former antagonism toward the drug and the right of doctors to prescribe it.

Readers may recall that once the pandemic was in full swing, some doctors began reporting anecdotal evidence that ivermectin seemed to help some patients avoid or ease the symptoms of the coronavirus. But almost immediately, the FDA jumped into high gear to destroy the reputation of the drug and to persuade doctors to avoid prescribing it, discouraging pharmacies from selling it even with a doctor’s prescription.

In fact, the FDA was so adamant to stop people from considering the drug that it launched a cynical effort to label it “horse medicine” and, therefore, unfit for use in humans.

Hydroxychloroquine, a zinc ionophore, has little value after viral replication has already taken place for patients who was admitted to hospital only after they were already having trouble breathing.

I checked Amazon. They no longer carry what I was referring to. It is Noromectin 500 ml injectable with 1cc/ml = 10 mg of Ivermectin. It ran about ~90$ per bottle. I used it because it was possible to more precisely titratate/ calculate the dosage.

It contained only Ivermectin. You must be sure that was the only substance that was in the bottle.

You calculate the dosage per your body weight depending on the protocol you follow. YOU DO NOT INJECT IT. You drink it with or after a meal so as to keep it in your gut otherwise it passes through to your intestines and can cause loose stools reducing effectiveness. It tastes bleahh but is tolerable.

For example I weigh ~ 165lb or 165/2.2 = 75 kg.
With a .6 Ivermectin per kg that is 75x.6 = 45 mg Ivermectin or 4.5 cc drawn up in a syringe and squirted in a shot glass.

If you want what is definitely Pharmaceutical grade you order tablets from India. They make most of the drugs we consume. The problem people have is they start to late but at this time Covid has mutated so much it is just a URI so unless you have been injected multiple times and you managed to get a "hot lot" and your immune system is imprinted to react to a earlier version of covid then good luck.

You taken D and Zn in the winter?

A paper came out of Japan about 10 years ago the said D and Zn reduces viral infection so every winter took it and since then didn’t get most of the viruses that came through my medical office.
