Ohhh stop it!

The 3 (out of 5) of us that took Ivermectin immediately upon feeling symptomatic and then once each day for 5 days thereafter had SIGNIFICANTLY reduced symptoms as compared to the 2 that didn’t take Ivermectin. I know that it’s a very small sample but that is the only sample that I was concerned with. Based upon the fact that we had no adverse side effects from Ivermectin and it seemed to reduce the symptoms for those of us that used it I would not hesitate to use it again. I would definitely prefer that it was available OTC in “human form” but since our FDA is in bed with big Pharma and there’s no money in cheap, effective medications we’re left with 2 choices….don’t take it because it doesn’t carry the blessing of Pharma and the FDA or take it and possibly see a significant reduction of the symptoms of C-19. I don’t see what there is to lose…..assuming one is intelligent enough to take the appropriate amount (dose+frequency) there is no downside. We each must make the best decision for us and that often means not just thinking “outside the box” but acting outside the box. My distrust of our government, big Pharma, Fauci, etc is so strong that their recommendations are virtually worthless to me.

As for the carrier I had no problems with Duvet or Bimectin.

Drop the mic and walk away
Boom.......

Bingo!

Dosage is not a problem the plunger is marked in 50 pound increments. But the carrier may not be something used or tested on humans.
Ivermectin is ivermectin

As long as it doesn't cause limp dick, people here will take it

I pretty certain the carrier in the 1% sterile is simply propylene glycol.

I find the durvet apple stuff is down right tasty.

Lawyers put things like that on labels. It's pretty standard. All you need to know is the ingredients.

Why are we talking about dogs?

now if the FDA will just issue a warning of all the side effects of the shots....

Why are we talking about dogs?

The Vets disagree:

“Additionally, certain dogs are genetically hypersensitive to the medication. In these dogs, ivermectin can pass directly to the brain and be toxic or even lethal. Sensitivity to the drug can also be seen in dogs or puppies that have overdosed on a similar medication in the past.

A genetic sensitivity to ivermectin can be seen in several breeds, but is more commonly seen in the following breeds:

Collie
Old English sheepdog
Shetland sheepdog (Sheltie)
Australian shepherd
German shepherd
Longhaired whippet
Silken windhound
Border collie
Dogs of mixed breeds that include herding breeds
This genetic sensitivity is due to a mutation in what is called the MDR1 gene. This mutant gene may make the dog more sensitive to several other medications as well. Not all individual dogs in the breeds listed above carry the mutant gene. The only way to know if an individual dog has the mutant MDR1 gene is through testing. To do the test, cells are scraped from the inside of the dog’s cheek and sent to a laboratory for genetic testing. Talk to your veterinarian if you are interested in having your dog tested.”
