Ajudge ordered Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital last week to give a Covid-19 patient an experimental treatment, and her family and attorneys say they believe that saved 80-year-old Judith Smentkiewicz's life. The drug Ivermectin – a pill sometimes used to treat children with head lice or to rid dogs and cats of worms – is not yet approved by the federal government for use against Covid-19. But Smentkiewicz's son and daughter call it “a miracle drug” in their court papers.

Comments:

Read and weep for all the deaths that could have been prevented. Like HCQ this was proposed as a treatment early 2020.

And now the rest of the story. NIH has just approved this as a treatment for Covid. Heads should roll. I've already seen a scummy 'rat site claim that by Trump mentioning HCQ he delayed the investigation of drugs like this. Effin' unbelievable. Who benefitted from the delay? Who will claim the credit now?

Does Ivermectin have a generic equivalent and does it cost less than $1,500 for a course of treatment?

Ivermectin is routinely given by school nurses to kindergartners for head lice. Probably costs four or five dollars per dose.

Sorry to post again but had to answer #2. Ivermectin has been around for decades and cost cents/pill. Why do you think this an hydroxychloroquine were stalled?

According to online information on "Drugs.com" about the well known anti-parasitic drug ivermectin: **An in vitro trial has shown ivermectin reduces the number of cell-associated viral RNA by 99.8 % in 24 hours. An in vitro study is when they study cells in a laboratory and not in a living organism. **More studies are now needed to be done using ivermectin on people or animals to see how well ivermectin works against COVID-19. This is in vivo testing. **Ivermectin is currently a FDA approved medicine for treatment of intestinal worms, Strongyloides stercoralis and Onchocerca volvulus. It has been established as safe for human use. OK, take home info. 1) FDA established safe for human use. 2) extremely effective in a test tube test of wiping out ChiCom flu, and quickly. Seems like anyone who is extremely sick should give this a shot. FDA established as safe for human use says a lot. If nothing else is working, why not give this a try? When does Trump's "Right to Try" law kick in? According to the NIH web site, they recommend AGAINST using ivermectin for ChiCom flu except in clinical trials. https://www.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov/antiviral-therapy/ivermectin/ #1, do you have a source for your information that NIH has approved this? The source I found says it is NOT recommended.

As to cost, this is the ingredient in some dog heartworm prevention treatments, although it requires a vet prescription to order. I guess we just need to find some reasonable docs, interested in patient outcomes, not politics. Sadly, that once was the normal thing. It seems to be getting rarer every year.

I blame BigPharma and their accomplices, the FDA and CDC, for withholding early treatments with HCQ and/or Ivermectin from us. No money in it and when they insist on further studies necessary, who was going to fund it? There is no money to be made for any companies, so no funding, so we have all been locked down, getting sick and dying because of greed. It sounds harsh but that is how I see it. Poorer countries, who have little hope of the vaccine any time soon, use these drugs and their death rates are far below ours. What a joke this has been. I blame doctors too who have been too frightened to use simple, safe drugs to treat sick patients.

#2, I erecting is readily available at farm supply stores and veterinarian supply. It is relatively inexpensive and have used it to deworm and delouse cattle for years. Itis also use on dogs and maybe cats under a different name. I'm sure I have absorbed plenty of this product over the years from having it splashed on me. There is also an injectable form, not sure about the pills One of the trade names is Ivomek, I'm sure there are others. I would not be afraid to figure the dosage and rub some on my skin if needed. The dosage is of course printed right on the label.

Having dosed livestock with this stuff and in the process gotten it all moved my hands, were it to cause cancer or the growth of extra limbs, I would have been doomed long ago. Great mite and worm med. This stuff was mentioned as a Covid killer 4 or 5 mos ago but there was no profit for Fauci and big pharma in it so no press and people died. We are just eggs for omlettes to our elitist lords.

Thanks for the link, #18. A search of NIH this morning still turned up the "not recommended" page, so clearly NIH doesn't do much to keep their information up to date on their site.

Interesting info for those looking to educate themselves on the latest treatment protocol for ChiCom flu. Today's patients need to be informed. https://covid19criticalcare.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/MATH-plus-Rationale-Journal-of-Intensive-Care-Medicine-Dec2020.pdf Note that ascorbic acid (Vitimin C) is one of the pieces of the treatment protocol, dosage depending on how much supplemental oxygen flow rate the patient is requiring. I have been taking 1000 mg of ascorbic acid every morning since last March. And lots of D3 vitamin, too.

The doctors in the small town I live near to refuse to give any treatment for covid until the person needs hospitalization. I have talked to several people who have or know someone who has treated themselves with Ivermectin. It works. My dog got sick with it when I had it a couple of weeks ago. It was time for his Heartguard heart worm medicine. He was feeling bad. the second morning after I gave him his Heartworm medication, he was bouncing around like a little puppy, he felt so good. My dog took very good care of me too. Doctors at a tax supported hospital who refuse to give their patients such inexpensive help that could keep them out of the hospital should be charged with murder, and force to share a cell with officials at CDC, FDA, and governors that outlaw it.

Amazing. Another drug used to treat cats and dogs for worms, fenbendazole, is reportedly very effective against cancer tumors, and targets them directly with no side effects to humans. Naturally, big pharma will not study it or let the news about its effectiveness get out. Must be something about these types of drugs that destroy viruses and cancer that needs to be studied. Look it up, check the facts, and decide for yourself. That is what free people do, without the permission or intervention of government or "authorities."

This is interesting. In what form is ivermectin available in farm stores? Do they require prescription? Here is a recommendation as a propholaxis. I am already doing the D3 and C vitamins, may add the zinc and others. https://covid19criticalcare.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/FLCCC_Alliance-I-MASKplus-Protocol-v8-2021-01-12-ENGLISH.pdf

A Norfolk doctor who believes Covid-19 patients at Sentara hospitals are dying unnecessarily because the healthcare system has banned the use of certain medicines on them has filed a lawsuit seeking to end the prohibition. Dr. Paul Marik, a critical care specialist who gained international attention in 2017 for an unconventional sepsis treatment he came up with, filed his injunction request last week in Norfolk Circuit Court. Marik argues Sentara Healthcare is endangering the lives of its Covid patients by preventing doctors from using a treatment protocol developed by him and several other critical care specialists across the country.

Rarely does anything in the news surprise me anymore, but consider today’s happenings an exception. In an explosive development, a whistleblower has delivered an email to Congress proving that Attorney General Merrick Garland lied under oath while testifying on Capitol Hill some weeks ago. As RedState reported at the time, Garland’s statements surrounding the targeting of parents as “domestic terrorists” simply did not add up, with his mix of denialism and unwillingness to address the issue only adding to the suspicion that the DOJ had and continued to act improperly.

Kamala Harris' niece Meena has said parents can teach 'anti-racism at home' by telling their children the U.S. was founded by white supremacists and by filling their bookshelves with the works of 1619 Project founder Nikole Hannah-Jones. In a Washington Post op/ed published Tuesday night, Harris detailed how parents can educate kids by talking to them about the 'racism' that shapes America and how the country was 'stolen from Indigenous people'. She also took the opportunity to promote her own book club, Phenomenal Books, 'which spotlights the work of underrepresented authors, particularly women of color.'

Sarah Palin without naming her, explaining, the one who "can see Alaska from her porch.” Biden got the “Saturday Night Live” joke completely wrong, given that he should’ve said Russia, not Alaska. Palin lives in Alaska so obviously she can see Alaska from her porch.

With the jury quietly tucked away deliberating Kyle Rittenhouse's fate, decorum outside the Wisconsin courthouse dissolved into angry protests on Tuesday with the arrival of BLM activists and Second Amendment enthusiasts. The jury has now begun deliberating whether or not to convict the teenage gunman, whose case has divided the nation. Rittenhouse, now 18, was 17 when he shot dead two white BLM protesters at a riot in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last August, and injured a third. His lawyers say he was a scared boy acting in self-defense, eager to protect the town as it fell under siege from an angry mob.

The nation's top infectious disease expert says he believes the definition of being 'fully vaccinated' against COVID-19 in the U.S. could change to include booster shots. Currently, any American who has received both shots of the two-dose Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines, or one shot of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, is considered fully vaccinated. But Dr Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said this may need to change to include extra doses. 'In my opinion, boosters are ultimately going to become a part of the standard regimen and not just a bonus,' he told Axios on Tuesday.

Herd immunity against the virus that causes COVID-19 may be impossible to reach, a federal health official said in little-noticed remarks earlier this month. “We would discourage a strict goal of a threshold where we think if we reach that, that community transmission will then cease,” Dr. Jefferson Jones, a medical officer on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) COVID-19 Epidemiology Task Force told a panel of the agency’s vaccine advisers. “I think thinking that we will be able to achieve some kind of threshold where there’ll be no more transmission of infections may not be possible,” Jones said.

Is Joe Biden plotting with House Democrats to replace Kamala Harris? Sure looks that way, given some curious goings on reported by Fox News's straight-news congressional correspondent, Chad Pergram (snip) The Pergram report follows from another rumor just a day ago of a Biden plan to kick Harris upstairs: Rumors have circulated that Biden may even be considering nominating Harris for a Supreme Court seat if one becomes vacant so that he can select a new Vice President. (snip) What's significant about that is that Joe has decades of friendships, alliances, and honor-among-thieves relationships throughout Congress. Harris, by contrast, has few allies, given her self-serving and ambitious nature.
