An Israeli tropical-disease expert says he has new proof that a drug used to fight parasites in third-world countries could help reduce the length of infection for people who contract coronavirus.
Prof. Eli Schwartz, founder of the Center for Travel Medicine and Tropical Disease at Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer, last week completed a clinical trial of the US Food and Drug Administration-approved drug ivermectin, a broad-spectrum antiparasitic agent that has also been shown to fight viruses.
The double-blind, placebo-controlled study included 100 people with mild to moderate cases of the disease who were not hospitalized for the virus. It tested whether ivermectin could shorten the viral shedding period, allowing them to test negative for coronavirus and leave isolation in only a few days.
According to his still unpublished data, Schwartz said the drug was shown to help “cure” people of the virus within just six days. Moreover, the chances of testing negative for coronavirus were three times higher for the group who received ivermectin than the placebo, he told The Jerusalem Post.
“From a public-health point of view, the majority of patients with corona are mild cases, and 90% of these people are isolated outside of the hospital,” Schwartz said. “If you have any kind of drug that can shorten the duration of the infectiousness of these patients, that would be dramatic, as then they will not infect others.”
Moreover, instead of isolating for a minimum of 10 days and maybe more, this period could be shortened, benefiting the economy.
Schwartz is currently preparing the data from his study for publication. On Monday, he is scheduled to present his findings to the Health Ministry and will also submit a report to the FDA.
Since April, there have been many trials and analyses suggesting the effectiveness of ivermectin against the novel coronavirus. But only a handful have been conducted effectively as double-blind, placebo-controlled tests such as Schwartz’s.
“There is insufficient data for the COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines Panel to recommend either for or against the use of ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19,” the US National Institutes of Health said in a statement last Thursday. “Results from adequately powered, well-designed, and well-conducted clinical trials are needed to provide more specific, evidence-based guidance on the role of ivermectin in the treatment of COVID-19.”
However, NIH did verify that for other indications, “ivermectin has been widely used and is generally well tolerated.”
“Ivermectin is a chemical therapeutic agent, and it has significant risks associated with it,” Hebrew University of Jerusalem Prof. Ya’acov Nahmias told the Post.
“We should be very cautious about using this type of medication to treat a viral disease that the vast majority of the public is going to recover from even without this treatment,” he said.
When Israel launched its mass vaccination campaign, there were many who believed there would no longer be a need for medication, Schwartz said.
“Now we know that this was an illusion,” he said. “Even in Israel, not everyone is taking the vaccine. There is quite a big population of youngsters under the age of 16 for whom it will be at least months until we have a vaccine for them. And if you look worldwide, vaccinating everyone will take a few years.”
Because ivermectin is FDA-approved, its safety does not have to be proven, Schwartz said. Rather, approval just needs to be received for its use in this new indication, he said.
Schwartz said he hopes the new study will “be a cornerstone to get this permission.”

Yawn … I knew of this quite a number of MONTHS ago .. because of the intelligence of the TBP crowd.
Obviously I would NEVER want to imply that over-the-counter Ivermectin Topical Solution (available at Co-ops, Tractor Supply, and Fed and Seed stores) should be used for humans. If, however, you have a 200 pound calf you wish to treat, about two teaspoons rubbed on the skin and allowed to sit 24 hours before washing, is about right. Apply once a week or so. Do your own math to double check those numbers. Twenty doses will run about twenty dollars.
I used for me.
I was fine before.
Ingested by diluted drink (in just a glass of water), 3 times 2.5 ml in 3 days, night time.
Solution, from veterinarian … 10%.
Absolute clean, sterile water with only the Ivermectine – nothing added, so – the purest treat.
I am fine, too.
—-
I could have 12 ml per day for a month = 30 days, like a Doctor for humans – I could find his own experience, he was looking for a cure for his son chronic head ache and suspected a possibility, some not detected parasites.
He was VERY fine – no more hemorrhoid problems, … but – was useless for his son – NO DAMAGES AT ALL.
FYI. The prepper website Deep-Survival was selling Ivermectin tablets until recently. Now the website is offline.
Pure BS. Ivermectin has a LOOOng history of safe usage. In some countries they hand it out to people with no medical background to distribute within a community, like in India. These asswipes keep pushing the gene therapy for no other reason than money. Money to pharma and free money to research firms to ‘study’ the scam. The only ‘studies’ that need to be done is the corruption in the medical tyranny thats going on and hanging those that are behind it.
Brian,
4 out of 5 horses given Ivermectin don’t die. Neither does the 5th.
Maybe Cow Doc can tell us how many animals have died from using this stuff that any Yahoo can buy no questions asked and give to about any farm animal for about$5.
Must be daaaangerous stuff….
The ‘cure for covid’ meme is just another way of supporting the covid myth. Until proven by the solid scientific method of isolation and imaging, there is no “covid19” virus. Rather than stipulate the existence of this imaginary doomsday plague virus, we have to demand proof. Why is the rest of the fraud recognizable (lockdowns, mask mandates and social distancing) while the absence of any evidence of its existence being ignored?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
How the hell are we going to bring back our economy if pills costing a few cents can cure the pandemic? We need to give big pharma all our money so it can flow through the economy.
Ivermectin works on most viral infections from what I’ve read. So, next time you get the flu…..
There’s a guy who had terminal small cell lung cancer and he read about Ivermectin’s use in cancer. He started taking it without his oncologist knowing about it. His case stumped the physicians because he was a gonner but kept improving. This was something like 7 (?) years ago. He’s still kicking and has a site where he collects similar stories and advocates its use in all types of cancers.

Steve, as I suspected, that story is about fenbendazole. Fenbendazole is a dog dewormer, cures several kinds of cancer. Not Ivermectin. Ivermectin does not cure cancer. Ivermectin kills parasites, and also HIV-1, Zika virus, SARS, SARS-CoV-2, several awful kinds of African parasite like River Blindness, along with head lice. If you read way down his posts, you’ll see he is also taking curcumin and using CBD oil. Curcumin can also help protect you against the ‘rona, but in a small way, as part of a broad vitamin, mineral, and herbal supplement regimen.
Drew,
I appreciate the correction. I read his blog over a year ago and for some reason Ivermectin came to mind today. Old fart brain fog?
I call it CRS syndrome when I realize that I Can’t Remember Shit. 😉 Welcome to old age, kid. It ain’t for sissies, you know.
Dr. Tony hates the stuff-tantamount to the most effective endorsement for ivermectin possible. Am regularly taking equine version readily available at farm and ranch stores for 60-80 cents/dose. At least until Tony makes the stuff illegal and horses will start dying like flies then.
Extra Credit Question: Anyone out there know what kind of “doctor” Tony claims to be? (Flashes of “Dr. ” Jill keep running through my closed eyes).

What are we paying these asswipes for? Shouldn’t NIH be setting up studies when credible anecdotal evidence indicates a potential positive result????
I first heard about ivermectin being a treatment/preventative back in June, 2020. Why has NIH, CDC not funded a proper study? How many needless deaths have we had due to their corruption and incompetence?
Here’s the protocol for ivermectin, showing dosage per body weight. Click on the link for “Prophylaxis and early outpatient treatment for COVID-19.” Some folks are getting the 1% injectable solution from farm supply stores and taking it orally. (1% solution means 10 mg/ml.)
https://covid19criticalcare.com/i-mask-prophylaxis-treatment-protocol/i-mask-protocol-translations/
Get 10% and have 1 ml per 50 lbs or more of your weight.
I did not see 1%, only 5% and 10%
For the USA, one I found (no prescription needed) is:

“They” cannot approve the anti-BACTERIAL drug, the Ivermectin: it proves that the Virusology is fake science.
