Very interesting story.
I hate that this type of medicine has to be associated with MAHA. I wish Senator Kennedy would keep his mouth closed regarding peptides and TRT, since his mentioning anything immediately reduces its credibility to the general populace.
I don't want anything that could help people being associated with politics. It's just so hard to separate it all, after the absolutely evil blunder that was Dem handling of Covid and the ongoing evil blunder on the other side of the coin.
Wouldn't surprise me at all. Been running BPC/KPV for about 3 weeks, recently added in full chain TB4, and when I shaved the other day I noticed that I had no pain at all with my cheap ass Walmart razor and didn't cut myself once. Normally I can feel the whiskers pulling and there's at least some pain when I'm not using the safety razor, but this time it's like my skin was thicker.
Of course that's beside the amazing recovery time and evaporated back pain.
The review that you posted talks about potential cancer-fighting benefits of the drug, but covers a meta-analysis of 25 randomized clinical trials investigating ivermectin to improve covid outcomes which found zilch. No change to patient outcomes or likelihood of ventilation.
Ivermectin is a fine drug. I have nothing against it, and I think it's stupid to villify it. I've taken it a few times myself. There's literally no downside to using it and the "it's a horse drug!" argument from the Dems was absolutely ridiculous.
The analysis that
@Rolltide61 posted above actually mentions this study and notes that subsequent studies failed to replicate the results.
This study appears to be garbage science from Bangladesh sponsored by a drug manufacturer who sells ivermectin in that country. And, spoiler alert, they didn't control for parasitic infection. There are a lot of parasites in that part of the world, and taking an antiparasitic medication when you have parasites is going to boost your immune system like no tomorrow.
Maybe you should do some more research. Just because you find a study with the title that says what you're after doesn't mean that there's really any evidence. If you've taken it yourself and it blasted your COVID out of the water, I personally would be more interested to hear that than some bullshit science funded by a drug manufacturer. I took it while I was sick with covid and it didn't seem to do shit for me.
And if it did do something for you, how do you know you didn't have parasites? lots of Americans do.
Don't act so persecuted. The right has achieved cultural dominance and they control the government currently. You'll survive a little CNN.
