Me and my husband both got covid 2 weeks ago. First time! I’m unvaxxed. I started ivermectin wed. Felt sick in tues night. I knew it was bad. My lungs hurt. The cough hurt. Got a fever. I did 2 doses a day of 18 mg. And by day 3 fever gone. Day 5. Good to go. Husband. He was worse. He had the J&J. His first covid. He did the 18mg twice a day. Fever gone by day 5. He still has a lingering cough but he is good. Yes. It works ! I also took some HCQ but only a few doses. Didn’t feel I needed both drugs.

my boyfriend started taking a small weekly prophylactic dose of ivermectin in jan 2021. he desperately wanted me to take it but my feeling on drugs is the same as my feeling on vaccines- i really don't want either unless absolutely necessary.

1) in june of 2021, my moderna trial subject friend came to stay with her staunchly unvaccinated childhood best friend. after leaving us and going back to their respective homes, they both got covid (delta). my moderna friend called me for advice as moderna merely took her blood. she also asked me to help her friend. they were both having a hard time of it but the moderna friend is affluent, has a solid husband and insurance. her friend is divorced, uninsured and lives alone on a hobby farm. i gave them both a list of supplements and instructed the hobby farmer to go out to her barn to get her tube of ivermectin. she protested that it was for animals; i countered that she was an animal.

she had been spending nights with such extreme body aches and spiking fevers that she was sitting up crying. eventually her desperation overcame her resistance and we figured out a safe dose which she took around 4:00 pm her time.

i suddenly started to worry; i had convinced this woman who i had only recently met, to take this medication that i had never tried. my BF had been on it for half a year but he took the human version and at a much smaller dose. what if rachel madcow was correct and this woman died?

to my great relief she called me the next morning to say that she had been able to sleep through the night with only a mild fever and no body aches. she now stock piles the stuff whenever she can get it at her local feed and seed store and tells me the price has doubled (still cheap).

2) in july 2021 i went to what was meant to be an outdoor pool party driven indoors by torrential rains. the 50 or so freshly vaccinated women packed around the dining room table hadn't seen each other in a year and were full of the fresh blush of confidence in their jabs. there was all the clucking, cooing and air kissing that you might imagine at a party of women.

i stood outside in the rain and called my BF to come pick me up. that night as we went to bed, i announced that i would start on IVM the next day. he was happy.

3) my moderna friend's unvaccinated mother then got covid and my friend called me for help. since her mother lives near her farm friend, i called her and sent her over with all the supplements i had suggested to her plus her horse paste. the mother recovered just fine and avoided hospital.

4) a local DOD subcontractor (who insists that the covid shots are a depopulation scheme and contain a kill switch) got covid. his doctor refused to prescribe IVM and he got so bad that he was preparing to go to the ER when another medical friend got him some. he was 50% better after his first dose and 100% better after his second.

5) another friend tests often for work and had just tested negative (jan 2022) even though she was feeling sick. she waited 5 days before getting another test, this time positive, at which point she called me. she had gotten so bad that she collapsed and hit her head on the floor. we raced over with some IVM for her. after one dose, she felt much better and only went to the hospital to have her head checked. she says from now on, she won't wait. if she feels a flu of any kind coming on, she'll take some IVM.

5) my moderna friend and her moderna/pfizer husband (he had two moderna shots in the trial and promptly got himself two pfizer shots) came over for new years dinner 2022 with her horse paste mother, and their son and his girlfriend from the UK. they stayed for a few days and then returned to their respective homes. all got omicron EXCEPT me, my BF and the mother- the 3 unvaccinated people- who all were taking preventative IVM.

6) in june of 2022, a double vaxxed and boosted friend called to ask if she could use my sauna as she was feeling sick. i said of course. that was a friday. on monday, i woke up feeling stiff and sore with a bad headache and a temperature of 100. i immediately took a full therapeutic dose of IVM. the next day i tested positive and on wednesday i felt perfectly normal again.

7) my BF then started to feel bad and upped his IVM dose to the full value. he had a very sore throat but no fever. his doctor suggested he come right over for some paxlovid. no way. i had him nebulize a 1% H2O2 saline solution, 1 teaspoon every hour, which made him feel better almost immediately. he continued to nebulize at greater intervals for the next two days and then was fine.

we both stopped taking weekly IVM, assuming we had some natural defense and not wanting to deplete our stock unnecessarily.

8) recently, our unvaccinated house guests both had covid (july 2022). we treated them with IVM and supplements. we didn't do anything special to isolate from them and we didn't get sick even though we ate our meals together and were in the same house with 2 covid positive people.

my boyfriend has resumed his once a week small dose of IVM; i have not.

my strong feeling after these experiences is that i will always keep IVM as a basic in my medicine cabinet and will take it immediately upon having any flu symptoms no matter what kind of flu i have. if the clinical trials don't show efficacy, i can only think that is because the trial designers don't want to find efficacy. i do believe that the entire "pandemic" could have quickly and quietly been brought to it's knees if this cheap, simple and harmless medication had been widely deployed. that it wasn't constitutes willful murder.

See https://c19ivermectin.com for a site that tracks most or all ivermectin studies. Right now it lists 90. Also there are links on the left side of the page to dozens of other potential therapeutics. What I find hilarious is that almost all therapeutics had varying degrees of benefit, yet CBD turned out to exacerbate Covid.

yeah the media is hopping on this one. SF Chronicle already has a piece out about it, claiming IVM and the other drugs in the study did absolutely nothing. I guarantee my Covidiot dad will send it to me tonight. Every single person I know (who aren't covidiots i should add) who had or has covid is taking IVM and is better within hours. I took it and accidentally took a lower dose than I should of, and was fine within a day or two. My then 6 week old, exclusively breastfed, was fine after 12 hours. IVM works.

I always look forward to reading your articles. I personally have used both HCQ and Ivermectin. I completely believe it made my life much better with Covid. I had it Aug '21 so I am guessing it was Delta. I did not add to the numbers by getting tested. However, I did go get an antibody test about 60 days after, so I could prove I had it if I needed to do so. Yes, I had strong antibodies. I had a high fever and back pain so bad I was going out of my mind. As soon as I started with these, symptoms immediately started getting better. By day 3 of using them I was basically back to normal. I did have some lingering exhaustion, but that I could handle! You will never convince me these drugs don't work.

I can tell you from personal experience and from people I know that ivermectin works. You should immediately walk out on any doctor who says it doesn’t work.

Public utility work, as usual!

Thanks a lot for this excellent article.

Underpowered, confusing with major limitations mean the study was designed for publication in NEJM or JAMA, not to study ANYTHING.

Hi Igor. My husband is a physician so he got vaxxed early on with Moderna. I am not vaxxed. Last February, he came home sick on a Thursday. Had a pos covid test on Friday. He was sick for a solid 4 days with lingering symptoms for another week. All he took was Tylenol and Advil to control his fever. I got sick on the Monday after him. As soon as my fever spiked at 9:00a.m., I took IVM, zinc, C, and D3. By 3 pm, I was outside playing catch with my dogs. I Cleaned house a bit, made dinner, etc. I had very very mild lingering symptoms for about 3 days and I lost my sense of smell for about 10 days.

I am sorry to rain on your parade, but since this is about anecdotes, here’s mine: we are a family of four, ranging in age from 17 to 61. We all had covid in June. It was definitely worse than just a cold, very much a flu severity illness, with several days of chills and quite bad fatigue. Two of us took ivermectin, and two of us didn’t. All four had the exact same duration of illness and similar severity of symptoms, the younger ones (not on ivermectin) feeling slightly better throughout. In our family, ivermectin didn’t seem to make much of a difference.

"I will include a bonus personal tidbit about Ivermectin working against Ba.5 last week, at the end"

Of course now most people will go to the end. You need to say "in the article somewhere" to have people read more LOL.

As safe and effective as ivermectin is, it should be available OTC in this country, like it is in much of the world. Several months ago, I saw a picture of ivermectin in a vending machine. I can't remember for sure where it was, but I believe it was in the Mexico City airport.
