Yeah you can get the paste for a horse (apple flavor!) off Amazon for very cheap.

Apple flavor or not, horses don't like it. Trust me. lol

I have the injectable liquid which I give my dogs to de-worm them at one drop per 6 lbs- dropped out of a needless syringe. Put it on some bread then put peanut butter on top of that.

That's the way to go if you have a lot of dogs. You can get the liquid at a fraction of the cost of Heartgard. Just have to make sure you get the dosage right.

Warning - if you find yourself neighing and struck with a sudden impulse to chow down on some hay, you may have taken too high a dose.

... how did you calculate dosage?

I have been researching this stuff to use for my dogs. I diluted mine in peanut butter, and dose them each month for heart worm. As for how much to dose with this stuff for humans, for scabies, the dose generally used it 200 micro-grams per kilogram. This stuff (0.21 ounces at 1.87% concentration), is dosed for a 1250 lb horse, also at 200 mcg/kg. Its about 6 grams per tube (.21 oz) So each gram should be good for a 200 lb human. Also this stuff is pretty safe for humans, doses as high as 10 times stronger have been used before.

THAT said, I dont know what the dosage for C-19 mitigation would be. The studies use a 5 micro-molar concentration, which in vitro, killed like 99.9% of the virus. I dont know what the dose would need to be in order to get that concentration in human tissues, but a quick, probably wrong back of the envelope estimation done by me, said something like 4000 micrograms per kilogram. I dont know if thats even close to being correct though.

I also have no idea of ideal Covid19 dose, if it even works. I have used it a few times for scabies, using the higher of the two approved parasitic dosages for people. As neither of its official indications are common in humans in US I suspect veterinarians probably have more experience with the drug in US and supply for animal treatment is likely greater than the human supply. Although folks in thread have already thought of tapping that supply chain I predict the FDA will choke over that concept!

Its been used by 10s of millions of people, massing treating entire populations excepting small kids, in areas with oncocerciasis with excellent results. There at least is some US data in mass treatment of nursing home staff and residents to clear scabies infestations with it seeming to be well tolerated. So it might be an option for those who can't have the hydroxychloroquine for some reason. Main potential problem of the drug is neurotoxicity, which is how it kills worms, scabies, etc. However in normal humans over age 5 or so it doesn't cross the "blood brain barrier" so doesn't cause problems. There are a few rare circumstances in which that barrier doesn't work and those people shouldn't take this. Conceptually its another swallow ready treatment, cheap and safe for the vast majority at 'standard' doses. Whether it actually works needs some volunteers and a trial. Given the alleged current covid19 rates and severity that could be done in a month. Trump may need to bash some heads at the FDA to gain permission for it.

Good info. Ordered a single horse dose (0.21 ounces at 1.87% concentration), with a graduated plunger off Amazon.

We don't really need to kill 99.9% of the virus, just enough to survive without significant organ damage or needing intubation.

YUP; six dogs once a month, cost is cheap compared to heartworm treatment.

Heartworm treatment for the big girl was 2300 bucks, for the little girl it was 1400 bucks.

Don’t ever want to have to go through that again.

Yep, and as an aside, it could certainly work for Hillary.

Yup. Administer these drugs to the terminally ill and document the results. Scientists and academics live in silos with no common sense.

Is this the same drug that was used by a man that cured his stage 4 cancer last year?

I still have two of four left.

The question is whether they’ll miss ME if I go first!

Yes!!

Be SURE to get Ivermectin, and NOT something with Inversection in it!
