Ivermectin & Covid-19...... Your Thoughts?

Ivermectin & Covid-19...... Your Thoughts? - 01/28/21 03:50 PM

If you've had C-19 or know someone that has had C-19 and they have taken Ivermectin, what were their results?

Reason I ask is I have taken it while I had C-19 and I know several others that have taken it while they've had C-19. In every case, including mine, their symptoms significantly improved within 48 hours of taking it, even those with more severe symptoms. I am just curious to see if anyone else out there has had the same or different results.

WARNING: I ain't a doctor and I am not advising anyone to take Ivermectin for treatment of Covid.

I have a friend out near Hainesville that has some farmland. He told me directly when I was talking with him that his neighbor lady got the chiner flu and went to the feed store and bought the Ivermectin in the Sheep dosage. She said she took the Ivermectin dose and felt 100% better the next day. Took a few more and back to normal. He also said that at one time Ivermectin was studied for human use and it was. I can't believe my friend would lie to me about it.

The trouble with all of the anecdotal stories is that there is no control or way to actual pin the results on the medicine. For all you know, you would have been better in 48 hours no matter what you'd done.

That said, there have been some limited tests on Ivermectin and they have been very positive. It is cheap, it is available, and it has potential to help. Moreover, the potential negative side effects are very minimal.

I've taken it. Not willing to say I am immune or inoculated, but I feel like it improves my odds.

There is an Ivermectin for humans and there's one for animals...If I decided to take it, I'd get the one prescribed by a physician for human consumption.

There is a thread about all of this on THF.

My dogs take it for heartworm prevention....

And fir the above reason I listed I think that is why alot of people are tired of it and resistant to any restrictions. When you know person after person that has supposedly tested positive have either the sniffles for 2 days, no real symptoms or feel like they had the flu for 4 days it's hard to continue the madness. I'm not convinced that all the positive tests are real positives. My mind just has a hard time believing that something that kills some goes by like nothing for the vast majority. As much public interaction as I have had from day one, as many people in close proximity to me that have had it, I just have a hard time thinking I havent been exposed numerous times.

You may be, and probably were exposed at some point. But you may be part of the 30% of the population they say have the T-Cells that make them immune, but can pass it asymptomatically to others. That's why I believe they need to test people and get the vaccine into the arms of those without the natural immunity.

It works. The ranchers in West Texas were really the first that I heard of that were using it.
Guys that were working cattle frequently noticed that they and the other hands, never got the 19.

Just last week, the NIH said, yes, it is a therapeutic for the Chinese Flu and that it works.

Before retirement, I ran several hundred stocker cattle and always gave them a shot of the iver. Occasionally, one of us would accidentally inject ourselves with some. It consistently made us horny, so we start having our wives help with inoculations.

When I got the virus I took it along with a cocktail of other stuff. I had mild to moderate symptoms for 2 weeks and had some lingering effects for a couple more. I took the horse type that is sold at Tractor Supply. Can't say if it had any effect or not but can tell you it's some nasty stuff and slightly better than a gallon jug of go-lightly.

Re: Ivermectin & Covid-19...... Your Thoughts? - 01/28/21 10:03 PM

I've taken Durvet brand Ivermectin as preventive.

Close friend who had C-19 took it and was better within 48 hours. Positive test on Dec 24, nothing major until Jan 1 where he went to ER with 105 temp. He did get IV for dehydration and injection of steroid plus Zpac. Still feeling horrible on Mon. Jan 4 so he took Ivermectin he had for his cattle. By Wed. Jan 6 he was feeling better but still very tired.

I agree it's different for everyone and by no means would I promote this as a cure. It has had promising results in friends and family.

It worked for me and my wife. I took the human version along with doxycycline and zinc for two days the day after I lost my sense of smell. Never really got any additional symptoms. The doctor that contacted us after our positive tests basically said they would do nothing for us until we got real sick, then they would try and play catch-up and hope for the best. That convinced me to try something to prevent it from getting worse. I think that attitude from our medical professionals is why we have all the deaths. If our medical EXPERTS were a little more proactive and tried more of these preventative treatments I think we would have been a lot better off. But this treatment is very inexpensive and no one really makes any money off of it, that’s probably why, just saying.

Do what it takes. My stance on every Covid post concerning, mask, social distancing, vaccines, vitamins, ivermectin or whatever stays the same. My stance is you do you and I’ll do me. Whatever works, it works. I’m not going to question anyone or give suggestions. I support anyone’s stance and it’s pretty cool to see different stances.

I have heard same. Out here, most were Tractor Supply sourced.
There is now a Dr. here who will prescribe off-lable, for the human
use FDA approved pills as part of their Covid treatment plan.
Many reports were great improvement in 24 hrs and almost back to normal in 48 hrs.
I took first Moderna shot yesterday but I won’t hesitate to use ivermectin if i “catch the covid”

Interesting lab study below if you are interested in that sort of stuff.
It’s a long read, but if you scroll down to the paragraph just above figure 1 graphic, it cuts to the chase.

Utar Pradesh , a State in India with a population 204M . In March through May of 2021 , Delta strain . They had a new infection rate that averaged 34K to 58K new cases per day . Death rates of almost ten' thousand per day No Vaccines for them .
After two detailed studies at Hospitals prior -- they decided to provide the entire population with a kit , including Ivermectin , D3 , ZPack and a mild steroid . By July -- they averaged less than 50 new cases per day and almost zero deaths . The kit cost was less than a $1.50 each

The majority of those that died seemed to have some pretty serious health issues or a lot of poor lifestyle choices or a combo of the two.

Smoking seemed to be one that was major contributor to mortality.

Re: Ivermectin & Covid-19...... Your Thoughts? - 06/25/22 04:53 PM

For what it's worth, last August I had the Delta. After I tested positive, called the tele-med Dr that was being denounced everywhere as a fraud. Got a script for Ivermectin and Krogers actually had some, but not all of the pills I needed. Within 48 hours, I was 95% again. Mom swear up and down it was the Ivermectin, but when I had the Delta, food was just not anywhere on my mind and I had stopped eating. Only thing I would really ingest was ice because it was cold. About the time I did the Mectin I also discovered those meal shake things called "Boost." I started drinking those when they were almost frozen and I think just getting some nutrition back into my system was the greatest help to me getting over the China flu. Do I think the Ivermectin helped, yes. I do not believe it's the end all, be all. I also, was one of the high risk people.

Gave the rest of my pills to my manager and her family when they got the Covid and same story, they were all feeling much better within 48 hours. So...write your own conclusions.

The Ivermec works best the earlier you start with onset of symptoms. After 48hrs efficacy i've also taken the Hydroxychloroquine my 1st time around but was on day 4 before I got results of the County brain swabso I was really late.


The human medication form and the animal form are the same. Dosing is weight based.

I took the human form my 2nd go around got well in 3 days. Rode it cold turkey and was pretty sick for 10 days on my 3rd experience.

Just another SARS variation from the first in 2004 that was mutated in the Wuhan lab using our tax dollars.

Re: Ivermectin & Covid-19...... Your Thoughts? - 06/28/22 05:49 PM

In order to know if something works or not in the world of medicine you need a clinical double-blind placebo-controlled study with statistically significant sample size. One group gets the medicine (Ivermectin) the other group gets a placebo. None of the patients know who got what. You then use math to tell you if there is a statistically significant difference between the two groups. This is the gold standard in determining what works and what doesn't in medicine.

They've recently wrapped up a bunch of these studies on Ivermectin from all over the globe. They all say the same thing. Ivermectin shows no statistical difference in a positive medical outcome for COVID as compared to placebo. Do with that information what you will.

I've personally seen many healthcare workers stay ill with the prescribed meds while covid positive. Once they take ivermectin they get better very quickly. Must be coincidence in EVERY one of them. i think not. yes, it works. no, big pharm/politicians wont accept it because there's no money to be pocketed off of it. money, power, and greed makes the World go round.

Well he took some back in October when he came down with the China Flu and hasn't been the same since. Really [censored] himself up. Was it the Flu or was it the Ivermectine? Don't know what to say other than I won't be taking it.

The studies I have seen say it does nothing useful. Anecdotal evidence is NOT the same as a scientific study. But then again since big pharma is cast as the evil overlord by so many people it should surprise no one even if they did a study the far right kooks would discount it. Kinda like the vaccine stories, e.g. nano tech activated by 5G cell towers, sterilization, tracking chips...and so on. Great entertainment and fun to spin up those who believe this type of stuff.

You then use math to tell you if there is a statistically significant difference between the two groups. This is the gold standard in determining what works and what doesn't in medicine.

They've recently wrapped up a bunch of these studies on Ivermectin from all over the globe. They all say the same thing. Ivermectin shows no statistical difference in a positive medical outcome for COVID as compared to placebo. Do with that information what you will.


In my link, Ivermectin showed a 63% improvement compared to alternate treatments. It would have been higher compared to placibos. Which is STUPID BTW. Oh you're sick and may die....here's a sugar pill.


I looked at your link. I don't care enough to wade through all that, but on the surface, it sure looks compelling. Thanks for sharing.

Here is what I'm taking for covid, nothing, no shot, no ivermectin, no nothing, I have not gotten covid which is probably in large part due to me not being tested for covid. Oh, no mask either.

I've had covid 3 times. First two times I didn't even know it - only found out because of the Texas Cares antibody test. I had no antibodies the first time. The second test showed antibodies which indicated I had covid in between the tests. Third test showed greatly increased antibodies, indicating I had covid a second time. Never even knew I was sick.

Third time was just a couple of weeks ago I came down with a cold. Out of curiosity I used one of the "free" tests from the government and it was positive. Had backed up sinuses and body aches for about three days and it was over. I did take ivermectin because I had it. Took lots of vitamins too.

Did the ivermectin or vitamins help? Sure. If nothing else, they made me feel like I was doing something proactive. At the very least, I knew it wouldn't hurt anything.

Bottom line - if you are a "high risk" individual then you need to try to avoid becoming sick. If you become sick, then it is probably a good idea to do anything possible to boost your immune system and make the virus pass faster. And a special note on "high risk" - what they really mean there is morbidly obese, type 2 diabetic, and smokers. Nobody wants to say that, but that's what they mean.
