Ivermectin paste is used. Follow recommendations. ( like empty all paste from syringe, mix before using recommended dosage. Two doses, three days apart works)
That’s pretty interesting. It strikes me as similar to how stomach ulcers were determined to have a bacterial cause, after many years of using ineffective treatments by the medical system.
Love your tagline. That’s a keeper.
Just purchased the article! Thanks again
How would you get crabs to swallow the pills?
No, became aware of the possibility because of the work of Dr. Hulda Clark, ND, (dec), authoress of a number of books, of which the first, believe called “The Cure For All Diseases” or at her website, while researching cancer treatments for friends and relatives.
Her extensive body of research indicates many of the links between cancer and other health issues, parasites, and heavy metals. The pdf later in this thread references some of the same issues.
The NEJM article introduces the links. If this is of importance to you, suggest purchasing Dr. Clark’s books and doing own research. She references the asthma / parasite links.
Wormwood is one classic herb (there are many varieties) used for parasites (as is quinine, from which HCQ is manufactured) and Ivermectin is made from wormwood.
Yes. It wasn’t stress, or “all in their heads”. . .
The cause of so many ulcers is still not always diagnosed correctly, and in addition, an enormous unadressed problem is lack of stomache acid, not having too much.
Before the bacterial cause was widely known, have heard that many sufferers were able to obtain relief and healing of the ulcer outside the regular medical system by ingesting about a quart of cabbage juice per day for a month to obtain relief.
...compared to the 44 individuals out of 510 who died after being given a placebo.
I don’t care about ‘double-blind’ studies. I am NOT a guinea pig!
How do you mentally-justify giving a patient a placebo, knowing that it will not work, when they are depending on you to help them live?
Welcome.
You don't need an Rx. Just act as if you own some farm animals.

“Does it work for crabs? Asking for a friend.”
Are we talking about hermit crabs or dungeness crabs? Big difference in medication.
I hadn’t seen anything from her in a while. You always know where Ann stands.
This has been used with great success in Australia by Nobel Prize winner Dr. Borody.

At a snail's pace.
I worked at Merck in the ‘80’s when (and, I think, where) Ivermectin was developed and I recall that it was described then as a drug that treats both internal (e.g. tapeworms) and external (eg. ticks) in farm animals and pets. Since then, I’ve noticed it being mentioned as a treatment for diseases that attack humans in Africa as well as a treatment for HIV
Ivermectin is one of the most ubiquitous antiparasitic drugs used in medicine. It is administered to over 250 million people annually, most commonly in the tropical regions [23]. The drug is listed by the World Health Organization (WHO) as one of the essential medicines to combat numerous human parasites. A single oral 0.2 mg/kg dose in adults has an excellent safety profile, and the pharmacokinetics, pharmacology, and toxicity of ivermectin in humans are well known [23-28]. In two studies, fasting healthy human adult volunteers were given a single oral dose of 0.165 mg/kg of ivermectin. Blood plasma levels peaked at 46.6 (range: 16.4-101.1) and 30.6 (range: 13.9-68.4) ng/mL, respectively ~4 hours after ingestion [28]. Ivermectin acts on the invertebrate glutamate-gated chloride change, causing hyperpolarization of nerve and muscle cells [27]. https://www.cureus.com/articles/24455-the-benefit-of-a-single-oral-dose-of-ivermectin-in-humans-the-adverse-effects-on-cimex-lectularius-l-populations-and-fecundity
The drug’s two main discoverers and developers won the Nobel in 2015 for it, deservedly so, because it has been a tremendous force in the campaigns to eliminate untold amounts of human suffering in river blindness and filariasis. (Merck, I should note, has donated the drug for those purposes ever since the late 1980s). The drug is effective against a wide number of parasites and arthropods in general- pinworms, mites, lice, heartworms and fleas in dogs, parasitic worms in pasture animals, as an ingredient in ant baits, and more. It acts most strongly on glutamate-gated chloride channels, which vertebrates don’t even have, although it can also bind to other ligand-gated chloride channels at higher concentrations. It’s really just an accident of pharmacology that it doesn’t cause more problems – it’s very toxic to a number of turtle species, for example, and to some particular breeds of dogs (particularly collies and other herding types). In both those cases it seems to be differences in the P-glycoprotein transporter proteins in the blood-brain barrier; that’s one of the key “toss this compound back out” proteins in many cell membranes. Turtles apparently don’t pump the drug back out at all, and those dog breeds have picked up mutations in PGP (all that close breeding) that allow the drug to accumulate in the brain and set off severe neurotoxicity via those other ion channels.
Ivermectin and COVID-19 So what is this compound doing in the news with the coronavirus? Its ion-channel mechanism of action against parasites has no application to viruses. But it has been shown several times to have activity in cell assays against Dengue infection and to reduce viral loads in the mosquito vectors (see this paper and references therein), although the reasons for this are still unknown. There have been some human studies for efficacy, but all I can find out is that a preliminary read showed no reduction of viral load in the infected patients, and there seems to have been no update. But since denguevirus is also a single-strand positive-sense RNA virus, Ivermectin has come up as a possible coronavirus drug, mechanism or not. https://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2020/05/11/whats-up-with-ivermectin
