I hope you have an uneventful experience with the bug. All the best to you and yours. I mean that sincerely.

For those reading this thread who have not had the bug yet, please take note of this. It's better to get access to the drugs before the course starts. I had ivermectin on hand six months before covid finally caught me (27 months into this trip we've all been on). In my part of the country, there is a practice (found through FLCCC, as HongKongPhooey put up) who will prescribe ivermectin prophylactically. Wonderful people.

In truth, part of the challenge of this environment is having faith in any given treatment. For some people, they take no treatment at all and come through quickly. Our physical condition before coming in contact with covid makes a huge difference, probably the determining difference.

So I honestly don't know if ivermectin and antibodies (the two treatments I treated myself / was treated with) were the determining factor. I was fortunate. A couple of days of moderate fever (102) and then recovery from the systemic tiredness from that fever. Within 10 days, fine, right along the guidelines.

Was that because of the ivermectin? I have no idea. I noticed no "wow!" difference when I started taking it, and I also noticed no "wow!" difference with the antibodies.

But I do know it was important to my sense of control to have something on hand with which to address the bug. The most frustrating element of the "covid hysteria" that has gripped the US since 2020 is the stubborn unwillingness of the majority of the medical profession to offer early (immediate) treatment to people who are actually sick. This is an insane block on the part of organized medicine. Find people willing to treat you, or if you're in a system, find the treatment they will be willing to offer.

Long story short, whether or not these drugs (those listed in the title) actually work is hard to know (because Pharma has thrown massive sand in the gears of doing honest research into them). But if you haven't had covid yet, find a way to get access to the treatments before you get the bug. It offers a lot of peace of mind to be able to do at least something rather than sit on your ass and wonder if yours is going to be one of the bad cases. Plan ahead, please, for your sake.
