This of course isn’t near conclusive, but I got what I assume is O’Micron on Monday. Took my first dose of Ivermectin on Thursday. Felt much better Friday PM.
That's my experience. I had my own ivm and ran out. Didn't go to doc until day 10 when I had pneumonia. She gave me ivm HCQ and fluvoxamine and my fever finally went away. I have a low bmi am fit and zero comorbidities but it's the sickest I've ever been. Took doxycycline also. I believe if I'd had HCQ early on it would have been milder. Wasn't hospitalized but it was still awful.
Hello Mr. Chudov, I follow your work and yesterday I posted one on LinkedIn that called out the failure of the mRNA injections and that they may be enhancing infections and reinfections in the injected specifically. LinkedIn removed it claiming it as misinformation. But don't worry, it won't stop me from sharing your blog through other channels, and I won't give up on LinkedIn yet. Where there's a will there's a way...
It did for me, though it works best with adequate doses of elemental zinc. My Hydroxy bottle recommended 100mg of zinc. I was inadvertently underdosing my zinc due to misleading zinc labeling but I still felt it help me turn around. I recovered sooner than my husband from whom I got it from, with milder symptoms, and attribute that to the hydroxy.
It's funny how all these countries are "spreading misinformation" and giving their citizens horse dewormer. Recently, I discovered that my dog takes ivermectin. She, too, hates science.
Doesn't count for the corrupted chauvinists in the West. Only 'science' from 'accredited' scienticians in a select few countries matter. Mexico, India and Africa don't count.
I hit the nasal rinse and gargle hard the first three days. I only experienced a cough and appetite lose. Took Azithromycin and ivermectin on day 9 to circumvent any respiratory infection or pneumonia just in case because i had a pretty good productive cough that was only getting slightly better. By the end of my 5 day pills it was pretty much gone.
Great points! Especially with Omicron, the upper respiratory treatments are key where viral loads are high. I personally have really liked Xclear, a zylitol/saline based nasal spray and cethypryridinium chloride based mouthwashes, recommended by Dr. McCullough and others. Productive coughs in later stages of upper respiratory viral infections can be the harbingers of developing bacterial pneumonias. Influenza is not infrequently complicated by strep pneumonia infections. One needs antibiotics for this, not ivermectin.
I thought I'd mention that i had omnicron and used Nagella Sativa, also part of the early treatment protocol. I'm not vaccinated. It was pretty mild just 24 hours of mild aches and chills and i felt tired. I also became massively congested and coughed a bit. The head cold stuff lingered so I took Nagella Sativa seeds (not the oil) with honey and found it improved my head cold symptoms substantially, within 18 hours. I was still congested but the pressure on my head the fatigue it caused went away. That's anecdotal and i recognize it might have been other factors but worth mentioning.
My husband and I both just recovered from Omicron, which an ED doc told my husband his symptoms were typical of. They matched all the advertised symptoms with a focus on the upper respiratory system. He started Ivermectin on day 2, at the upper dose recommended by FLCCC: 0.6mg/kg once a day, everyday. It seemed to have no impact on the terrible sore throat that raged for 4 days or the fever that persisted and rose to 103+ for 5 days, lowering in the hours after acetaminophen, then rising again to higher highs. I, on the other hand, who caught it from him in the predictable timeline of 3 or 4 days after his first symptom onset, took hydroxy contraindicated for him. Took it within 30 hours of symptom onset. Felt an almost immediate improvement to the low grade fever that had set in. Cut it to 24 hours. My sore throat was over within that period too. What remained was fatigue and fluctuating sinus and upper respiratory issues: sneezing, coughing. Took 11 days for me to clear symptoms and test negative. Thank you Hydroxy! The ivermectin did not seem to help my husband at all.
My husband only went to the ED because he was advised to take advantage of monoclonal antibodies as a prophylactic when the fever wasn't budging, just in case things were to get worse, and his window of opportunity for doing so was closing, as a patient only qualified for it if used within 10 days of day 1 of symptoms. He was on day 9. Doc said his symptoms were manageable without any medical intervention and they no longer stocked monoclonals coz they did not work w omicron.
Just sharing what worked and didn't work for us, in our opinion. I must note that zinc is supposed to be a vital part of very early treatment/prevention/management. At least 50mg within first signs. I was relying on a brand called Paradise Herbs which advertised 30mg of picolinate zinc. When recovered I finally received a reply from their company confrming that the elemental value of their zinc, the value that is referred to in all dosages and the value actually available for the body to use, was only 23% of picolinate = 6.3mg. We were way under dosing to harness any efficacious anti-viral properties. As a vegan, my husband relied solely on the supplement for his zinc. I wonder if the duration of his illness would have been shorter and his course easier if he'd had the zinc in useful doses. A cautionary tale to check with your product seller that the value advertised on their label is actually the elemental value.
I never thought of that option. Thanks for the suggestion! What I did do was spend hours reading up on zinc to learn that there are different forms, what chelation means and what it does, which forms are more bioavailable, the values of elemental zinc yielded by diferent forms (haven't gotten all the answers yet), that it is the elemental form that dosage prescriptions/recommendations refer to because otherwise we are comparing apples to oranges, behaviors that help or hinder absorbtion (ongoing), NIH guidelines around zinc which do not address its antiviral properties and, finally, that there seems to be little regulation around how values are listed on product labels.
So now I reach out to each company whose product I'm considering and get them to commit to the value they advertise and declare if that is the elemental value or not. Do not buy Paradise Herbs Earth zinc if you want to know what you are getting is my advice.
Please look into using homeopathy to treat Covid, as well as any other illness you might have. Homeopathy is much more effective and scientifically proven than big pharma has led us to believe. It is very inexpensive, readily available and easy to use for acute illnesses. For Covid use Aconite 200 mixed with Bryonia 30 every 4hrs, as well as Eupatorium 200 every 4 hrs. There are many other remedies for specific symptoms, e.g. Antimmonium tart 200 for difficulty breathing, Mercurius Sol 200 for metallic taste in mouth. Homeopathy is effective and safe and has no side effects.
I had omicron in January. I don’t know if ivermectin made a difference because I only learned on day 4 you should take it w/ food, best if fatty. I will say Pepcid was a big help to me and my daughter. There’s research that says it’s main ingredient, famotidine, hinders viral replication.
Igor you may know that the FLCCC - which has been front and center THE most avid doctor's group advocating the use of ivermectin in early covid - recently updated its guidelines such that hydroxychloroquine is now preferred over IVM for early use against omicron. Disappointingly, no further details on the evidence or reasons supporting that change were given but in any case it supports your information.
It seems to work in very generalized ways that should be useful no matter the variant. In particular, ivermectin (i) shuttles zinc into the cells (which stops viral replication) and (ii) has anti-inflammatory properties. Those mechanisms of action would not seem to be limited to specific variants.
Just curious, and not really planning to use it for this, but would IVM help against a regular influenza?
I am of the opinion that flu is NOT something that I should treat much or vaccinate against, I kind of enjoy having flus and shivering under a blanket, but have not had many recently during recent years.
Igor I don't know the answer to that but I can tell you that over the years I have used 3 different antiviral measures against colds and flu and I can tell you that they ALL knock out a viral infection before it even gets started - IF you start quickly enough. That means the first tickle in your throat, the first moment someone notices your voice is different. In a few hours you'll feel 100% again, but the trick is then to continue the antiviral measure 2-3 days because if you think "I must have just imagined it" and stop, the infection will come roaring back and this time won't be so easy to stop. The measures that have worked for me are 1. zinc acetate, 2. Proboost thymic protein A, and 3. liposomal vitamin C. I think 1 and 2 work better than 3. Maybe a combination would work even better but I've always done one or the other.
There's evidence that ivermectin acts to disrupt the ability of viruses to use the importin α/β1 cellular mechanism. In addition, more recent evidence suggests that ivermectin might act as a 3C-like protease inhibitor.
Both of these mechanisms would suggest that ivermectin would act as a broad-spectrum antiviral.
However, there's not been research done on the real-world impact of ivermectin on viral infections in humans. So, whether it actually would provide a benefit for influenza remains unclear. You'd think that this might be a priority area for research, but it isn't. After all, why do any research on a drug that's out of patent and thus can't make you any money?
According to Dr Kory and Dr Paul on Flccc, they have said it helps for “viral illness” in general. This came up during discussions because some people were waiting for test results before starting ivermectin. They said it will help whether it was Covid or another viral illness and to start treatment immediately.
Very, very early on, before the censors got hold of everything, I read an old article about research on ivermectin in cancers. In the article, it said that IVM had "broad based anti-viral properties." Since then, I've committed to giving it a try with any illness, just in case it works on it.
It's such a low-risk treatment, I don't think I have anything to lose.
I would make sure to talk to a frontline doctor if you have heart issues and are trying to get HCQ. I've read that HCQ may trigger arrhythmias, which could be fatal.
FYI, I'm an engineer, not a doctor, just read about the arrhythmia issue,l with HCQ, who knows if it was justa false flag study planted by the Pharma Kings.
One of the doctors discussed this. They felt like Ivermectin wasn't working as well, but then they'd add in HCQ and would see an almost immediate improvement in their patients. They're using both HCQ and Ivermectin from the sound of it, not sure why the protocol doesn't make that clear. They have different mechanisms of action (besides being zinc ionophores).
Can't get Ivermectin in Sweden. It is only available for animals or if you have been diganosed with a parasite infection (unfortunately, a socialist governement doesn't count...) and then only the right kind of parasite at that, or as a cream for scabies.
On the other hand, doctors seem to be coming around. I have heard from several different acquaintances, independently of eachother, that their doctor has - off the record - recommended them to "make sure they get enough vitamin D, in case of 'the flu'", i.e. over the counter available cod liver oil and such.
Confirmed Covid 1 month ago- assumed Omnicron secondary to cold like symptoms and no lung involvement-hubby used ivermectin, I did not. Symptoms and length of duration almost identical so I feel ivermectin did not make a difference in our situation.
This of course isn’t near conclusive, but I got what I assume is O’Micron on Monday. Took my first dose of Ivermectin on Thursday. Felt much better Friday PM.
This is awesome and a great data point!
FLCCC Alliance telling they see HCQ is working against Omicron and added it back to I-MASK+ protocol
That's my experience. I had my own ivm and ran out. Didn't go to doc until day 10 when I had pneumonia. She gave me ivm HCQ and fluvoxamine and my fever finally went away. I have a low bmi am fit and zero comorbidities but it's the sickest I've ever been. Took doxycycline also. I believe if I'd had HCQ early on it would have been milder.

Thank you and I appreciate sharing. I make NO money on my activity and I do it in order not to feel bad about staying silent when a crime is underway.
Thank you thank you thank you. God bless
The FLCCC has found that hydroxychloroquine actually works better against Omicron. https://covid19criticalcare.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/FLCCC-Alliance-I-MASKplus-Protocol-ENGLISH.pdf

What??? A DOG takes a HORSE dewormer? Terrible ;-)
I couldn't find any horse iver in my area, so I got dog & cat iver...from China!
My veterinarian has an Ivermectin welcome mat at the front door.

The general concept that I have been counting on is that IVM or HCQ or Quercetin (zinc ionophores) + Zn inhibits virus replication within infected cells. Therefore, thinking about it in general terms, IVM + Zn should inhibit replication of all variants of SARS-CoV-2. (https://gilbertlab.com/neutraceuticals/quercetin/antiviral-effects-of-quercetin-zinc-ionophore/)
I thought I'd mention that i had omnicron and used Nagella Sativa, also part of the early treatment protocol. I'm not vaccinated.

Kinda need to be your own chemist to understand what the label is saying. To get the Zinc alone you may need to ask a pharmacist.
I never thought of that option. Thanks for the suggestion!

Right? Too bad we don’t have a gov’t agency that could take on that kind of project. One with money for research.
We could start one and call it something like Centers for Disease Control. Or National Institute of Health.
They could use tax money to research cures or additional uses for safe, cheap drugs.
Or maybe they’d use it to figure out how to kill us with bat viruses. 🤷♀️
