My labs monthly heart worm drug Ivomec is showing promise...

Hope something works soon.

I'm in the trial stages of my Jim Beam therapy trials. So far I haven't been infected, so it's looking very promising. I'm starting double doses to see if there's any change.

A friend of mine who is furloughed is testing ice cold Pabst Blue Ribbon.So far he has completed a trial using cans as the delivery method, and has started one with glass. He reports 100% infection prevention rate so far.

Never seen pabst in a bottle, that would be like seeing lonestar or schlitz in a restaurant.

As to the thread at hand, Weren't the testing ivormectin or safeguard wormer on cancer patients that were in a real bad way? Just a couple years ago it seems

Some existing drugs might work, but with what side effects? This will take testing and time to find out. Remember Thalidomide and its defects on children?

They are still using some worming drugs on cancer patients.

Are there any worming cancers they can use on drug patients?

Oh, boy, looks like the horses aren't getting wormed this month. Tractor Supply shelves will be picked clean! LOL

I wouldn’t take it if you’re Scottish!! (Ivermectin has serious side-effects in Collie breeds).

Just post anonymously on the internet somewhere that it has to be delivered twice a day anally.

Won't solve the lack of supply problem but you will feel better about it when the dills all pick it up.

laughing!

Ivomec, was developed to worm native people in Africa, of tape worm and other parasites, that they picked up form using cow manure to plaster their huts and from the kids sitting in cow dung, today it's used orally or as a pore on for many types of livestock, you can buy it at most farm stores.

Took "Human Labeled" Ivomec to El Salvador on a medical mission trip in 2004. The doc said that many of the "stomach issues" presented were related to intestinal parasites due to contaminated drinking water. Good news was that the Ivomec would clear the current crop parasites and give patients 1-2 months of relief from the abdominal pain. Bad news, since they would continue drinking from same water sources, problem would return.

My question, if we have Ivomec and Chlorquinine and other established drugs "showing promise", why we not fast tracking the clinical trials against Covid ?

I agree on your question.

Just watch a video with some doc at the FDA talk about why we need trials: 1. Be sure the drug is safe. 2. Be sure it works. They are so full of it. The "known" drugs (Ivomec and Chlorquinine) are already proven safe as they've been using it for other diseases for a long time. So just try it on sick people and see if it works.

Dang.....we use Cydectin.

Ivomec won't kill tape worms.

But I saw a paper written in Spanish that stated it was active against malaria.

I think most of these therapys need to be used earlier than how the USA 🇺🇸 has decided to triage and wait and see if it gets bad. The wait and see deal never worked well for my veterinary practice.

Kind like in football 🏈 using the prevent defense. It prevents victory.

But the ivory tower is based on the ancient Mercury practioners...." do no harm."

As opposed to " Do some good!"

This^^^. Everything takes a study where playing with a disease is the object rather than helping the patient, who is to many, nothing more than a lab on a blanket.

Now there's a logical, common sense, approach! I like it!
