This is a hotly contested topic, especially with cancer therapists. Many are paid handsomely for each patient who undergoes chemo. When you're considered a statistic by hedge-funds, some physicians and pharmacies, they will welcome you into the chemo embrace. However, "If this one doesn't work, we'll try another."

When a patient, seeking information, asks about Ivermectin, defenses may go up. You may hear,"Quackery, not good for you, might be dangerous, or we get results with chemo, and Ivermectin hasn't been properly tested, so we can't know what kind of results you'll get." It's a rare doctor who will say, "I don't know anything about it, but if you want to try it, it's OK."

A former relative was told he had an aggressive cancer. His Dr. came to visit him, in the middle of the night, waking him to sign a paper so they could start chemo in the morning. No one talked about ivermectin in those days. So, we lost that vibrant man.

I know from past experience (decades) how pharmaceutical reps and Big Pharma court physicians. My first husband was in medical school. A big drug company,, went to great efforts to win his student class. They took students and wives to New York City to woo us. We saw some Broadway plays, the "Rocketettes" precision dances, dined at a couple of famous restaurants, and were taken into Canada to tour their facilitory, all as a "gift" to us.

At the end of the tour, we went into the office of a gracious executive. He announced, "We want to make you an offer. Are there any of you who would be willing to sign a contract with us to only promote our drugs in your practice? In exchange, we'll pay for your medical education." One man signed up.

Gifts came during school. A new stethoscope,  blood pressure equipment, drug samples, and promises of future benefits. Drug reps were taught to enter a physician's office and look for personal things. A family photo was an opportunity to engage the physician in conversation which would help draw him in. 

I'm not saying this is how they operate today, but our Junior nurse's-training class was taken to a midwest pharmaceutical factory. They held a banquet for us, gave us small gifts and hints that we should encourage physicians to use this company's drugs.

Today, Ivermectin was rejected without knowledge. Peer pressure, media persuasion and smears happened to doctors who stepped out of the box and got results. Some lost jobs or licenses to practice medicine. A number of brave medical personnel chose to go against the tide, and had a number of assaults. Some had their practices raided, or were slandered as patients were warned to stay away.

Am I anti-physician? No. One daughter is a medical doctor, my older son is a retired nurse-anesthetist, my younger son is a Naturopathic physician married to a Naturopath, who also has a degree in Oriental medicine. My background includes nursing. I have the greatest respect for those who are open to truly helpful ideas. Am I against pharmacy? I've seen pharmacists who genuinely had their patient's well being at heart. Besides, ivermectin is a safe old-time drug. Far fewer side effects than the things being promoted today. Buyer, beware.

Ivermectin had been used since the mid-1970s to remove parasites from animals. In other countries, it's considered an important drug to remove them from humans. They are far more open to admitting that humans can have caught parasites from improperly cared for food items. In some countries, washing hands may be infrequent.

There are doctors who have seen parasites in tumors under microscopic examination. That led to a number of them using Ivermectin. with another medication, membendasol. Both of these high quality medications are producing amazing results in causing tumors to go into remission. Ivermectin alone works to cause the nerve and muscle action in parasites to become paralyzed. They die and are then excreted. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11008553/

There are many other valuable uses for Ivermectin. Let's go into some of them. There is so much information that is now coming out, that this will be in two parts.

Dr. Joseph Mercola was one of the few doctors who dug into the information with tenacity. So, he will be one of them who presented some of this.

The World Health Organization, at some point, found that use of ivermectin lowered the death rate of Covid by somewhere between 68% and 75%. Many of us lost friends or family members to this big C, making us realize how vulnerable we were to the unknown at that time. The following information is from Johns Hopkins University. In the United States, the number they recorded up to March, 10, 2023 was 103,802,702. https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/ We know that many more have also had major health issues because of this. 

Ivermectin has been around for decades. It was actually on the list of esential drugs by the World Health Organization. Many countries sold it over the counter for a variety of uses. However, those who were dedicated to big Pharma, refused to use it.

Dr. Suya Kent from India wrote a paper on use of Ivermectin which was published in ScienceDirect and is now in an Indian Journal, under Letter to the Editor. It was also published by Elsevier which is a Dutch academic publishing company. For some of you, this may be getting technical, but it is of interest for the sake of credibility.

In our country it is at:  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7434458/

"A group of senior doctors with vast clinical experience met" to evaluate the use of ivermectin in its use in COVID 19, or coronavirus. After intense discussion, they concluded that Ivermectin could be helpful for prevention and treatment of those people who were infected with this big C."

This is a quote. "Ivermectin in the dose of 12 mg twice a day alone or in combination with other therapy for 5–7 days may be considered a safe therapeutic option for mild, moderate or severe cases of Covid-19 infection."

Part of their decision was based on the fact that Ivermectin has strong anti-viral capacities. "It can be combined with other molecules of interest, like Hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, doxycycline. 6 Ivermectin is affordable, easily available, and safe without any major side effects."(They seem to speak of medications as molecules.) 

Their concern was based on the fact that India with their huge population suffered the loss of many millions of people. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9836201/

Ivermectin was found to reduce "SARS CoV-2 viral load by a factor of 5000 in 48 hours." They also use Ivermectin for other highly contagious diseases as well. Studies done in Bangladesh show even better results when Ivermectin is combined with Doxycycline.

This paper also referenced a study done in Florida in four hospitals. They found that even in patients with acute respiratory problems, the mortality rate was greatly reduced.

One reason I'm sharing in such length is that there are rumors of other control efforts which would include another plandemic. I don't want to be a scare monger. However, we are being bombarded by many things. It's helpful to have information that may be needed in the future..

Next time, I'll share other uses for Ivermectin which includes treating cancer.

In today's world we have to work at staying healthy.
