We May Have to Reconsider Using Ivermectin for COVID-19

 As you probably know, Ivermectin has been attacked as a medicine to use to fight COVID-19. It’s been described as horse medicine and lots of other names. Since this topic has a lot of reactions attached to it, please read the full blurb before you start your reaction!

Let’s start with a peer reviewed study that was just published in the journal Cureus that took a lot closer look at what Ivermectin is doing. 

Now, keep in mind that Ivermectin has been used in Africa for many decades to prevent river blindness. Also, since 1987, over 3.7 billion doses have been used in humans (and not horses) worldwide with a great safety record.

This study in Cureus looked at what happened in 10 states in Peru where it was used most intensively. The results of this study were quite amazing as Ivermectin resulted in a 74% reduction in excess deaths.

Similar results were reported from Itajai, Brazil which is a city of 220,000 people. In June 2020, they implemented a prophylaxis program using Ivermectin. The program was advertised throughout the local media, and people were encouraged to participate and take Ivermectin four times a month, on days 1, 2, 15 and 16.

On the appropriate days, the government set up tents and centers where people could get the drug, and the entire program was carefully logged in an electronic database. In all, 159,000 Brazilians participated, of those 113,000 elected to take the ivermectin.

The paper that published the results found that those who used ivermectin had a 44% reduction in the COVID-19 infection rate, a 68% reduction in COVID-19 mortality and a 56% reduction in hospitalization rate compared to those who did not take Ivermectin.

Ivermectin has also been shown to speed recovery, in part by inhibiting inflammation and protecting against organ damage. This lowered the risk of hospitalization and death. Meta analyses have shown an average reduction in mortality that ranges from 75% to 83%.

On August 16, 2023, the FDA actually tweeted, "Health care professionals generally may choose to prescribe an approved human drug for an unapproved use when they judge that the unapproved use is medically appropriate for an individual patient." This tweet means that your Doc can prescribe Ivermectin for you legally.

So…with COVID making a comeback you might want to be armed with some Ivermectin as it appears to be able to stop COVID in its tracks.
