ICMR Drops Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine Drugs
Big News Network ^ | 24th September 2021

Posted on 09/24/2021 1:52:57 AM PDT by nickcarraway

New Delhi [India], September 24 (ANI): Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR)-COVID-19 National Task Force Joint Monitoring Group dropped the usage of Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) drugs from revised clinical guidelines for the management of adult COVID-19 patients.

However, the new guidelines mention the use of Remdesivir and Tocilizumab in specific circumstances.

Among the key guidelines which are routinely stressed include--wearing masks, physical distancing and hand hygiene.

Suggesting a moderate use of other drugs like Remedesivir, the guideline advises the former to be used only in select moderate or severe Covid-19 patients on supplemental oxygen within 10 days of onset of symptom.

For the use of Tocilizumab, the guideline said that to use the medicine only for severe Covid-19 patients, preferably within 24 to 48 hours of the onset of severe disease or ICU admission.

It suggested that those with mild infection must maintain physical distancing, indoor mask use, strict hand hygiene.

It further said that symptomatic patients may take antipyretic, antitussive and multivitamins and asked to seek immediate medical attention if they experience difficulty in breathing or high-grade fever or severe cough, particularly if lasting for more than five.

People with moderate disease with SpO2 level 92-96 per cent (88-92 per cent in patients with Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) may take Methylprednisolone injection and Anticoagulation medicine.

They should work on breathing, Hemodynamic instability and change in oxygen requirement.

As per the guidelines, for the severe infection, the guideline suggests using NIV (Helmet or face mask interface depending on availability) in patients with increasing oxygen requirement, if work of breathing is low.

"Consider the use of HFNC in patients with increasing oxygen requirement, Intubation should be prioritized in patients with high work of breathing /if NIV is not tolerated and Use conventional ARDSnet protocol for ventilatory management," it said.

The guidelines also said to take Methylprednisolone injection of 1 to 2 mg divide into two doses usually for a duration of 5 to 10 days.

It informed that the severe disease or mortality risk is higher in people above age 60, people with Cardiovascular disease, hypertension, Coronary artery disease (CAD), Diabetes mellitus, Chronic lung/kidney/liver disease, Cerebrovascular disease, Obesity and other immunocompromised states. (ANI)

“Such a thing has never happened in the history of India before and is absolutely unprecedented”

Sounds like our own Big Lies.

That is from the Lancet.

Thanks for that info.

This is the important link:

“High Dose Ivermectin And COVID-19: High Doses, Systemic Concentrations, And SARS-CoV-2 Viral Loads!”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsJPZPB93Qc

It shows that IVM dosage should be 0.6 mgs per kilo of body weight taken with food ( every other day for three days and then once a week according to I-Mask protocol.), in order to bring the concentration of IVM in the blood to greater than 160 nanograms per liter.At that level it wipes all virus from one’s system.

Side effects ( rarely , a skin rash).

Houston doctor treats COVID patients with anti-parasite drug ivermectin, despite FDA warnings

https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/health/article/Houston-doctor-treats-COVID-patients-with-16413955.php

Dr. Joseph Varon, chief medical officer at United Memorial Medical Center, on Thursday told the Houston Chronicle that he has used ivermectin since the start of the pandemic in all COVID patients. He said he administers a low dosage based on the people’s weight with a cocktail of steroids and vitamins.

“We did it intermittently in April, May and June of last year,” Varon said. “But as of July (2021), every patient that comes in goes on ivermectin.”

The Dean of the Medical School!

From my big Ivermectin text block (which is here
https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/3997175/posts?page=23#23):

The Dean of Emory Medical School has Indian heritage, and co-wrote an article in the Times of India advocating using Ivermectin against Covid, among other things. This has gotten =ZERO= coverage in US media, including his hometown paper, the AJC, and his hometown news network, CNN.

Try to convince me that isn’t newsworthy - both his original article and the non-coverage of it by US media.

I tested positive a week ago today while on a business trip. Drove home 350 miles and immediately started Ivermectin.

(We had gotten a script for the time when we eventually caught the virus)

I was a little sick. Somewhat weak, loss of taste and smell, tired. got a manageable cough. Lack of ability to concentrate.

Basically minor stuff. Oxygen level stable at 95. No fever to speak of.

In other words, skated right through the virus.

And I’ve read multiple accounts of Remdesivir being the killer as it causes fluid build-up in the lungs that is not pneumonia. The fact that it was recommended by “Killer Tony” is grounds enough to stop its use.

Good news!

Frequency and dosage?

If you believe that saying “It’s just the flu.” is a winning strategy, you are wrong. Many people are afraid of Covid. You have to offer them something they will be willing to accept. You have to persuade them. Telling them that they are cowards won’t cut it.

By the way, if you had read my posting history carefully, you would have found out that I do support Vitamin D to make serious Covid less likely. I believe that President Trump should have confronted Fauci over his taking Vitamin D, but not telling anyone.

I am NOT saying that vaccines are the only way out of this misery. I am saying that it is unrealistic to expect everyone to supplement Vitamin D, magnesium, zinc, selenium and Omega-3 fatty acids for the rest of their life. Most people aren’t health conscious to such a degree. Vaccines are probably the easiest way for them.

It is also unrealistic to believe that a treatment (e.g. Ivermectin) will be massively used if 90-95% of doctors oppose it. Doctors must be persuaded first. Then politicians may start to listen.

Welcome to the global corporatocracy where every government makes medical decisions based on kickbacks from Big Pharma.

You'd better go look up the fatality rate in Sweden, compared to all its neighbors.
