And best of all it’s all OTC.

Only thing I would suggest is to include ivermectin to the list and have it all on hand if you get covid. Ivermectin once a month is also a good prophylactic.

Not pills, apple flavored paste; )

Myself, I didn’t care too much when I got Covid last month as it was available.

If you aren’t able to get your Vitamin D levels up fast with that, take a boron supplement, which is instrumental in helping to convert Vitamin D for proper use.

Not sure the mechanism, but Eastern Virginia Medical Center has it on their covid protocol.

The study I saw said a deficiency in D would make you more susceptible to a bad case of Covid. Greatly increasing your D levels over normal doesn’t add more resistance.

I was diagnosed with low Vit D about 5 yrs ago and went on a script for about two weeks. Started taking supplements afterwards and noticed a change. I used to get roughly two head colds per year and the flu maybe every 5-7 yrs. Since taking D, one head cold in five years no flu. I upped my intake when Covid started.

Fauci said he takes Vit D....of course he said that in months after we were into Covid...and didn't recommend it....he was nonchalant about mentioning it.

I have been in quarantine for a week. I was exposed a week ago. I’ve been taking Vit D for weeks anyway, added zinc to my diet and bought a tube of equine paste ivermectin that has 91mcg/kg dose that cost $3. The human dose is 200-1200mcg/kg. I just had to calculate how much paste I had to take for a 200# man at the human dose. It lasted for three days which is the recommended dosing regime for ivermectin.

Thank you. It needs said on every article here dealing with D3. Some on here are playing with fire. The bone pain is the process of leaching calcium out of your bones and entering your blood stream. If you have any blockages in your arteries these are the spots it accumulates. I had an artery scan many years ago and had two minor blockages. I was in my 50’s. Best 99 dollars I ever spent. I had another in 2016 and those two had become major and had three other minor ones. So it is not just hardening of the arteries. It sets you up for a stroke. I was put on the 50,000 IU pills and immediately experienced whole bone pain in my right thigh. I had to figure it out on my own, which says a great deal about the VA medical profession. Yeah, take high levels of the rat poison if you dare. Go ahead and play Russian roulette.

Why does a roundworm medication, Ivermectin, help with Covid?

It slows viral replication. Your body is not overwhelmed by the virus and eventually effects an immune response that kills the virus.

Ivermectin kills roundworms, heart worms, scabies, and covid. It is dirt cheap and that is the problem.

Worth a view. The things you didn’t know about rat poison, lol. The Vitamin D deception; Cholecalciferol as Vitamin D3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRLok37KPd8&app=desktop

The paste is formulated to give 91mcg/# bw so a 250# dose that is marked on the syringe is 22,750 mcg which is roughly half the recommended dose of 40,000mcg. I took half the recommended dose for three days and will take two more doses. If one wished to take the dose marked in the literature one would take the 500# dose to get the recommended 200mcg/# dose. As I read it, ivermectin interferes with the replication of the virus so any ivermectin in the system will decrease the process thereby reducing the virulence of the infection. I figured half dose is better than none and since there is no resistance with a low dose why not?

I began taking Vitamin D religiously in 2007 after mom died of pancreatic cancer. Out of the blue I read an article about the benefits of the vitamin and its relationship to cancer. I haven’t had the flu, cold, anything since. I recently began taking Zinc after reading that both helped ward off Covid. Zinc is cheap. So is Vitamin D.

From looking at the labels of the ivermectin paste, you just have to get out your conversion chart for how many humans per horse.

Just kidding. Looking at the micrograms of dose for kg of weight, I’m guessing about 5-6 doses per tube for a human?

The paste is formulated ...

As this paste is labeled and sold for "equine use", is it suitable for human use - or are there other chemicals or processing methods that makes it inherently harmful to people? I understand the FDA has discouraged human use of "for animals" products - but I also know they are a bunch of bureaucrats with all that entails? Asking for a friend...

UnwashedPeasant - some people on this thread could use your expertise on Equine Ivermectin.

Gritty - basically yes. It’s fine for humans.
