The Food and Drug Administration claims to follow the science. So why is it attacking ivermectin, a medication it certified in 1996?
Earlier this year the agency put out a special warning that “you should not use ivermectin to treat or prevent COVID-19.” The FDA’s statement included words and phrases such as “serious harm,” “hospitalized,” “dangerous,” “very dangerous,” “seizures,” “coma and even death” and “highly toxic.”
Ivermectin fights 21 viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, the cause of Covid-19. A single dose reduced the viral load of SARS-CoV-2 in cells by 99.8% in 24 hours and 99.98% in 48 hours, according to a June 2020 study published in the journal Antiviral Research.
In 115 patients with Covid-19 who received a single dose of ivermectin, none developed pneumonia or cardiovascular complications, while 11.4% of those in the control group did. Fewer ivermectin patients developed respiratory distress (2.6% vs. 15.8%); fewer required oxygen (9.6% vs. 45.9%); fewer required antibiotics (15.7% vs. 60.2%); and fewer entered intensive care (0.1% vs. 8.3%). Ivermectin-treated patients tested negative faster, in four days instead of 15, and stayed in the hospital nine days on average instead of 15. Ivermectin patients experienced 13.3% mortality compared with 24.5% in the control group.
.
If the FDA were driven by science and evidence, it would give an emergency-use authorization for ivermectin for Covid-19. Instead, the FDA asserts without evidence that ivermectin is dangerous.
At the bottom of the FDA’s warning against ivermectin is this statement: “Meanwhile, effective ways to limit the spread of COVID-19 continue to be to wear your mask, stay at least 6 feet from others who don’t live with you, wash hands frequently, and avoid crowds.” Is this based on the kinds of double-blind studies that the FDA requires for drug approvals? No.

They are cheap now, but they could become hard to get, and they are worth more than gold to someone who needs them. Everyone should buy far more than they need.
horse paste?
aren’t there are binders and other chems in animal ivermectin paste that are toxic to the human liver? I read that somewhere, an Indian doctor defending ivermectin I believe
I”m starting to warm up to ivermectin. But only a little. It seems it might be a good alternative for youth, and better than nothing for vaccine deserts, but we run the risk that the virus can overcome it much easier than a vaccine, so there’s that.
From what i’m reading from the below (miles of technical stuff), ivermectin competes with the virus for Ace-2’s for docking. It seems to work somewhat against Wuhan-1 - in Indians - in early treatment. But, the dosing and timing isn’t consistent across the studies and the effectiveness is all over the map - 40-75% in interrupting mild disease (which most people would recover from naturally given 2% mortality avg and even with a 18% mortality)
And another But - will invermectin, (or has it already) caused the virus to mutate its ‘stickiness’ to outcompete ivermectin for docking sites? And is this why India drowned in their third wave? (did ivermectin spawn Delta/DeltaPlus?) Should we keep it out of the lineup, as a ‘last defense’ backup? Has it been challenged against potent mutations since the below studies from last last/early this year?
“28 cases among almost 4 billion doses with serious neurological adverse events, such as ataxia, altered consciousness, seizure, or tremor.”

People who use Ivermectin successfully use it with other things.
Have you ordered from them?
