“Nick's reference seems to imply it might be useful against parasites. “ Sorry. I just took that for granted. I have no idea. Mine was a very shallow dive. I also took for granted that parasite loads are greater in India than they are in the US. Still, of both those things were true AND it

Re: [FRIAM] ivermectin, nope

To the extent that many of our individual conditions often described as dis-ease are manifestations of a more spiritual-social-emotional-psychological dis-ease, it shouldn't surprise us that "woo" which addresses (at different levels, and different modes) the latter dis-ease might relieve the sympt

Re: [FRIAM] ivermectin, nope

Oh, forgot to clearly identify the irony: ;-) Doing diligence on this crap is way exhausting. I am entirely in sympathy with your dilemma. Even if ivermectin does nothing useful, it still may be a useful treatment in situations where no other treatment is available. And fabricating evidence o

Pieter -- I looked over the links you listed. They seem to claim that withdrawl of ivermectin caused the spike in Covid cases in India, and also that administering ivermectin caused the end of the spike in Covid cases.Both of these claims are sort of hard to evaluate, since I don't see any ev

Thanks, Pieter, Do parasites make one vulnerable to covid? Alternatively, does having covid, open the door to parasites one is already carrying? I can’t be the first person to think of that. N Nick Thompson thompnicks...@gmail.com
