The Hill ^

Posted on 04/09/2022 6:58:14 AM PDT by DOC44

Ivermectin is one of the many therapeutic options like vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, and anti-virals that have proven to be effective in the treatment of COVID-19,” Crowe stated in the release. “This bill will provide for a safe and effective way for patients to quickly access ivermectin over the counter and under the supervision of their pharmacists and the physician with whom the pharmacists have their collaborative agreement.”

And then there’s this story that a pharmacist refused to fill a prescription for ivermectin.

I think that’s three states now.

I took it when I have covid. It really worked well. I’ve got minor exzema and noticed that when I was on Ivermectin, my skin cleared right up. Later research shows that that’s a known therapeutic.

Is the government still seizing packages of Ivermectin ordered from overseas?

Mine did too! I thought it might have been the doxycycline. It was really pleasant while it lasted.

“Is the government still seizing packages of Ivermectin ordered from overseas?”

No, I don’t think they ever did. I have ordered three times from a seller at Indiamart. I got all three orders in three weeks or less. One was even opened in Customs and allowed to proceed.

The government asked USPS to stop the packages. It appears that USPS refused. All three of my orders came USPS but a friend’s order was shipped UPS. UPS confiscated his order and told him he had to produce a prescription to get them. He said no so they returned the order to India. India sent the order back out USPS and he got it just fine. I have heard from several people that UPS, not USPS, confiscated their order but they eventually got it through USPS. IVM is not prescription in India. They won’t send out meds without a prescription if they are prescription in India. Canada is the same way with dog meds. If a med isn’t prescription in Canada, they will sell it to buyers in the US without one.

I try not to discuss it in here because of all the trolls and “spies” but now that a few states are allowing it OTC, it’s not such a big deal. I also don’t know how it’s going with the Russia/Ukraine thing going on.

C'mon. Ivermectin is just an over the counter veterinary medecine; the pharmacist was probably just offended that someone had the nerve to look for it at a drug store.

Or something like that.

Yeah, we have several tubes of the horse stuff plus dad bought a hundred pills of the stuff from someplace in Canada.

I didn’t hear of the “government” confiscating any packages from India. They did ask USPS to do it. Customs was letting them through. The only confiscations I know about were by UPS.

Well now. I have to get me some since my home state has seen fit to make it easy to get. We’ll see how long it takes before one can get the stuff OTC.

I can’t believe this disaster is happening. When the governor signs the bill all blacks in Tennessee will be immediately re-enslaved and LGBTs will be incarcerated in the mammoth FEMA concentration camps around the country! Woe is me!

I’m recently recovered from what some say was COVID. Most of the people in our card group and some of their family members had what some people tested positive for, was COVID.

My wife and I (both UNvaxxed), did NOT get tested. (why bother with the unreliable BS tests)

Wife got it first, 2 days later me. EXACT same symptoms. Headache, trembles/shakes almost uncontrollable, chest congestion resulting in coughing jags. Felt generally LOUSY.

Day 2 I started taking Ivermectin (12mg) one a day for 6 days. After 1 day I felt better. After a few days all I had left was the nagging cough, coughing up flehm as best as I could to get it out of my lungs. (I added Primatene® MIST to aid in the dislodging of flehm, it helped a lot)

A day or two after the regimen I had a complete/total relapse. Started the Ivermectin again and took it for another 6 days. (They say five, but I thought “one for good luck”).

Immediately felt better. Symptoms, except the congestion and associated cough, were gone. They took like 2 weeks to completely resolve.

I had already been taking Quercetin + zinc, vitamin D3, C, and other supplements.

When I got sick I upped (doubled) the zinc and added another Quercetin + zinc capsule. I also used my Xlear nasal spray.

The wife only took one Ivermectin and I can’t say about the Quercetin + zinc, (she was supposed to be) but she can be hard headed.

If it was Omicron, all I can say is the Ivermectin helped me, but wasn’t a cure all. One of the Covid doctors prescribing many of these alternative drugs said that actually Hydroxychloroquine worked better on Omicron than Ivermectin.

My wife was sicker and took longer to recover, but the difference between my sickness and hers was negligible. A matter of days in the beginning and at the end. That could be explained just by the difference in our immune systems or all the supplements I take regularly.

In any case, Ivermectin was not a silver bullet. Would I take it again? YES.

Also, I believe this was our second go round with COVID. We both believe we had it back in January 2021. That would have been a different strain/variant.

To those who would say ... it was just a cold or the regular flu, I would say ABSOLUTELY NOT.

I have had BOTH and THIS was DIFFERENT!

Thanks. I ordered a few from them before the government announced they were going to seize them. I haven’t needed more yet.
