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.

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."

An independent Jewish kingdom was said to have once existed in today's Ethiopia. An Israeli archaeologist heard the tales of heroism surrounding Beta Israel and decided he would be the one to find it. In the heart of the Simien Mountains in northern Ethiopia, on the slopes of a steep hill, stands the village of Segenet. An immense cliff looms above, an abyss yawns below. Life here is made possible by the existence of a broad plateau on the hillside, where the farmers grow their crops, suspended between heaven and earth.

The BRICS alliance is a strategic geopolitical partnership between Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. The nature of the alliance is based on trade and big picture economics. Readers, familiar our discussions of trade and international finance, will remember the importance we previously discussed with BRICS after the 2016 election and President Trump representing economic nationalism for the first time in several generations. In this outline, we are going to share the bigger picture of why BRICS should now be back on the center stage of focus for Americans.  CORRECTION*

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.

The Earth could be doomed to breach the symbolic 1.5C warming limit in as little as three years at current levels of carbon dioxide emissions. That's the stark warning from more than 60 of the world's leading climate scientists in the most up-to-date assessment of the state of global warming. Nearly 200 countries agreed to try to limit global temperature rises to 1.5C above levels of the late 1800s in a landmark agreement in 2015, with the aim of avoiding some of the worst impacts of climate change.

Carbon dioxide, we’ve been told over and again, is the enemy that must be subdued if we are to avoid catastrophic global warming. It is, however, a faulty premise. Physics, not politics, tells us that man’s CO2 emissions will not cause catastrophic climate change nor an increase in extreme weather. “The common belief that CO2 is the main driver of climate change and the EPA Endangerment Finding assertion that ‘elevated concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere may reasonably be anticipated’ to endanger the public health and welfare are scientifically false,” conclude the authors of a new paper.

For political junkies who cut their teeth on “60 Minutes,” “Meet the Press,” CNN, and Fox News, longform podcasts were a godsend. Finally freed of commercial restraints and surface-level superficialities, longform podcasts took you beyond the talking points, treating audiences to a deep dive of a topic’s intricacies. Even when the podcast host had limited knowledge of the subject matter (Joe Rogan, I’m looking at you), the benefit of the longform platform was that it facilitated an open-ended, free-floating conversation where both sides learned more about the other. But there was an important catch: It only worked when both sides were acting in good faith.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld a Tennessee law that restricts access to gender-affirming care for minors experiencing gender dysphoria, clearing the way for the medical treatments for transgender youth to be limited in half of the country. The high court ruled 6-3 in rejecting the challenge from the Biden administration, three families and a physician who had argued that Tennessee's law violated the Constitution's guarantee of equal protection under the law. The court concluded that the state's measure, enacted in 2023, does not run afoul of the 14th Amendment.

Israel needs a 15-ton ‘bunker buster’ bomb to destroy the last untouched nuclear facility in Iran, but only the US has one. Such a powerful weapon – the largest non-nuclear bomb in the US arsenal – is needed because the target, Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant, is built some 300 feet inside a mountain near the city of Qom, two hours south of Tehran. The heavyweight explosive is known as a GBU-57A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator and was designed by Boeing for the United States Air Force. Its huge weight means it can only be delivered with a B-2 Spirit stealth bomber – a jet Israel’s air force does not possess.
