Is Ivermectin The New Penicillin?

Via ZeroHedge

Ivermectin, an anti-parasitic drug placed the same radioactive category as Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) for the treatment of COVID-19, has reemerged as a promising treatment in the battle to extinguish the pandemic.

New York Times best-selling author Michael Capuzzo has called it the “drug that cracked Covid,” writing that there are “hundreds of thousands, actually millions, of people around the world, from Uttar Pradesh in India to Peru to Brazil, who are living and not dying.”

Doctors in India are big fans.

To that end Dr. Justus R. Hope, MD asks in The Desert Review: Is Ivermectin the new Penicillin?

Uttarakhand; As Far Away from Delhi as it Gets

*  *  *

As those Indian States using Ivermectin continue to diverge in cases and deaths from those states that forbid it, the natural experiment illustrates the power of Ivermectin decisively.

Cases in Delhi, where Ivermectin was begun on April 20, dropped from 28,395 to just 2,260 on May 22. This represents an astounding 92% drop. Likewise, cases in Uttar Pradesh have dropped from 37,944 on April 24 to 5,964 on May 22 – a decline of 84%. 

Delhi and Uttar Pradesh followed the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) guidance published April 20, 2021, which called for dosing of .2 mg per kg of Ivermectin per body weight for three days. This amounts to 15 mg per day for a 150-pound person or 18 mg per day for a 200-pound individual.

The other three Indian states that adopted it are all down as well. Goa is down from 4,195 to 1,647, Uttarakhand is down from 9,624 to 2,903, and Karnataka is down from 50,112 to 31,183. Goa adopted a pre-emptive policy of mass Ivermectin prevention for the entire adult population over age 18 at a dose of 12 mg daily for five days.

Meanwhile, Tamil Nadu announced on May 14 they were outlawing Ivermectin in favor of the politically correct Remdesivir. As a result, Tamil Nadu’s cases are up in the same time frame from April 20 to May 22 – 10,986 to 35,873 – more than a tripling.

Although Big Pharma and Big Media have scrambled to try, they cannot explain away this natural experiment. As I predicted May 12, they would first argue “the lockdowns worked.” The problem with this is that Tamil Nadu has been on strict lockdown for weeks as their cases have done nothing but climb. So the lockdown did not work.

Their next argument was that “there has been a shift from the highly populated urban areas like Delhi and Mumbai” to the hinterlands, like Tamil Nadu. The big problem is that the adjacent state, Karnataka is just as rural, and its cases are dropping on Ivermectin.

Uttar Pradesh is near the Himalayas and out in the far non-urbanized north where cases are down 84% with Ivermectin. Uttarakhand is even more rural and located in the Himalayas next to Nepal. Its infections are down 70% with Ivermectin.

Their final argument lacked any proof. It was essentially an attempt to smear Ivermectin through association with another drug. It attempted to link Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) with Ivermectin unfairly. While HCQ has become a punchline by the media, scientists like Dr. George Fareed know it is effective against COVID-19 – especially in the early stages. 

Dr. Fareed and his associate, Dr. Brian Tyson, have treated some 6,000 patients with nearly 100% success using a combination of HCQ, Ivermectin, Fluvoxamine, and various nutraceuticals, including zinc Vitamin D.

Unfortunately, none of this has made it through the censorship of the mainstream media, and the public has not heard about the 200 plus studies that reflect HCQ’s effectiveness against COVID-19. The fact remains that HCQ has an undeserved negative connotation due to its connection with Trump, which is unfortunately used to tarnish other life-saving repurposed drugs, like Ivermectin. For example, in the recent Forbes article, journalist Ray uses the title,Is Ivermectin the New Hydroxychloroquine?

https://www.forbes.com/sites/siladityaray/2021/05/19/is-ivermectin-the-new-hydroxychloroquine-online-interest-in-unproven-covid-drug-surges-as-experts-urge-caution/

Ray does not make a single substantive argument against Ivermectin; instead, he attempts to defame, debase or degrade it by repeating baseless accusations. For example, Ray cited Merck’s recommendation against Ivermectin as evidence of ineffectiveness, while Merck used no evidence to support their claim. In addition, he cited the FDA’s recommendation against Ivermectin, yet the FDA admits they have not reviewed the data on which to base this conclusion:  “The FDA has not reviewed data to support the use of Ivermectin in COVID-19 patients to treat or prevent COVID-19…”

As we all know, Merck was involved in the development of a competing drug and had 356 million reasons to throw its own cheap, unprofitable Ivermectin under the bus. Furthermore, the US government was likewise involved in a significant financial conflict of interest with Merck.

The story of Ivermectin is more similar to that of Penicillin. Penicillin has saved almost 200 million lives. In addition, three men shared a Nobel Prize in 1945 for its discovery.

Ivermectin’s discoverers won the 2015 Noble Prize in Medicine, and it has proven to be a life-saving drug in parasitic disease, especially in Africa. Over the past four decades, Ivermectin has saved millions from parasites like strongyloidiasis and onchocerciasis – river blindness.

It has already saved tens of thousands from COVID-19 in India in those few locations that use it. It crashed Mexico’s, Slovakia’s, and Zimbabwe’s cases. I remain more convinced than ever that Ivermectin will bring an end to this Pandemic as the word gets out and more people share the book, Ivermectin for the World. A more fitting title to the Forbes piece might be, “Is Ivermectin the New Penicillin?”

Hmmmm…..,getting better writeups all the time.

I would say to anyone interested might want to buy some now,before it becomes either prescription only or just straight out illegal.

I mean,we can’t have folks taking their own health into their own hands and damaging pharms incomes and loss of govt. control can we?

Or……,can we.

Nope. Not me, Arch. Really.

Actually, it appears to be False. Here is the statement directly from the Red Cross web site.

“The Red Cross is following FDA blood donation eligibility guidance for those who receive the COVID-19 vaccination. Deferral times for donations may vary depending on which brand of vaccine you received. If you’ve received a COVID-19 vaccine, you’ll need to provide the manufacturer name when you come to donate. In most cases,there is no deferral time for individuals who received a COVID-19 vaccine as long as they are symptom-free and feeling well at the time of donation.”

What, exactly, does that mean? Is that the same as having aids almost…since aids is an immune system destroyer? Am I close to correct?

I wrote up a really big answer for you and then lost it because I got up to go pee and forgot to come back to the computer in time.

So, in a nutshell: Big Pharma discovered they could make a fortune by destroying the human immune system with Antibody Dependent Enhancement and creating a cocktail of drugs to help the human immune system create the antibodies they destroyed its ability to create.

It is the broken window theory applied to humankind.

The relationship to AIDS is this: as JC (Jon Couey) explained it very early last spring (he’s a neurobiologist, but co-authored a lot of virology papers and continues to research the topic), even after being fired for his biking biology lectures. Anyway, he suspected very early they were trying to replicate the AIDS type of virus… one that can be controlled but not completely cured.

Sick bastards. They have to vaccinate the kids so they won’t be able to develop natural immunity unless they are in the CASTE of people who do not really have to be vaccinated. Wink wink.

My cousin from Pondicherry, Auroville, India, sent me a weird little missive about the closed commissary in the Ashram offering Tiffins and bread for the community. I don’t know what a Tiffin is, but she said she didn’t need any.

I hope you can see the image. I think the tiffins are in the cans, poor little things.

This week, every day from 12 noon to 3 pm.

Please be reminded that in the present circumstances,
only bread orders for Light, Sesame and Multigrain bread are maintained.
Orders for other bread types are canceled for the moment.

Overuse of cow meds is leading to parasites being resistant to Ivermectin. Perhaps the ‘preventive’ doses that people are so fond of need to be cut back considerably. Save the ivermectin for IF you get sick. Be a shame to have such a useful drug become useless wouldn’t it? Penicillin is now one of those antibiotics that lots of bacteria have become resistant to and Ivermectin is heading that way. We no longer use it on the cattle nearly as frequently as we once were told we needed to, ditto for horses. 2x year seems to be enough.

Unfortunately, IVM resistance is now a serious problem for parasite control in livestock and there is a concern about resistance development and spread in nematode parasites of humans.

Fair point, we’re even seeing Ivermectin resistance in Heartworm now in the South Eastern United States. However, Penicillin has been around for over 80 years and there has been bacterial resistance to it for at least 70 years. Ivermectin used as a parasiticide has been around for over 40 years so resistance is not unexpected in those instances. You have brought up a huge ethical question. Should it be used as a prophylaxis and if so when and where? Who qualifies? Do we just give it to Medical staff with high exposure rates? Do we consider it for individuals who have high risk comorbidities? This can even be boiled all the way down to what’s best for an individual versus what’s best for the community? Yep, resistance is a problem that’s not going to go away. That’s why constant research looking for new methods of treatment and control are needed. Unfortunately at the current time our schizophrenic FDA/CDC/NIH alphabet soup of bureaucratic medical regulatory agencies make it very expensive and difficult to produce and bring a new pharmaceutical online, yet they give an Emergency Use Authorization to the Covid jab without due diligence when likely and now peer reviewed articles show that existing treatments of Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin work. IMHO I prefer to be preventative for now and I will avoid the jab. Best I look out for me and mine which includes my 89 year old father I care for.

My 94 yo father refused the jab when my siblings tried to force it on him. I have the horse paste on hand, ditto for the injectable Ivermectin and the pour on which I use on the cows. Unless I get sick, I don’t take drugs and from what I’ve been reading about the jab(s) it would seem that they aren’t truly effective either.
Interestingly, there are videos circulating about another animal med, fenbendazole (brand names: Panacure, Safe-Guard) as a treatment for cancer. Do you know anything about that?

I’ve been bandying this Catherine Austin Fitts video elsewhere, well worth a watch.

I’ve heard about the Fenbendazole/cancer stories but have never investigated it. My father took the jab, despite my advising against it, he seems fine over 3 months out. He’s in end stage renal disease and I was afraid it would push him over the edge. I was wrong, he’s a tough old bird and far to ornery to die. Because of my interactions with clients and staff at work and then my interactions with my dad and my wife who has an autoimmune disorder I’ve chosen to take the Ivermectin prophylactic I-mask protocol from the FLCCC Alliance in an attempt to prevent bringing the ‘Rona home to them.

I still do not understand why Trump authorized and funded the research into these new gene therapies while he was taking HCQ as a preventative. As POTUS, he could have ordered HCQ be delivered to the people through the public health service and the same thing with Ivermectin. One of the many failings of the man.

I believe it was said as recently as Thursday this past week on Warroom Pandemic. If you go to the website they have clips of the larger points or news from each guest. There is a quick summary under each clip so it should be easy to find quickly.
He said he had 60 million doses and Fauci prevented the distribution and Navarro estimates it cost 20-40,000 lives. Gays claim Fauci caused between 10-20,000 deaths of gay men in the 80’s by blocking what proved to be an effective AIDS treatment.
Fauci would look so nice decorating a lamp post for the 4th of July. Instead he’ll be on Progvision lying his ass off about something.

At the onset of the silliness, I mentioned here that I stocked up at the farm and ranch store locally… some snot here informed me that type of ivermectin was for animals only and I should order the pills for humans.

Duh. I grew up on a subsistence farm in Missouri in the 1960s and 1970s. We used a lot of animal stuff for all sorts of parasites and ailments. If you’ve never had a dose of Castor Oil, you really should try it. It is flavored now. My son hated it but thanks me for it now.

The moran here was right…the package says “For healthy mammals only: Not for human use.” I read that every time I get a bit to rub on a wound, just in case.

And, while many humans are not healthy mammals, my husband and I really are quite healthy and happy for being the new kids on the senior bowling league. And, thanks to the horse paste, his toenail fungus is healed.

It is a miracle!
