A few people do have parasites and find out from taking ivm for covid prophylaxis. But, the people who improve on ivm need to keep taking it... otherwise their symptoms come back. So I don't think it's parasites.

That's an extremely good point. However could it be possible reinfection from the parasite? Or maybe ivm kills 99.9% of the parasites but not all of them, so it will always come back if not managed properly?

But you're right it could have a completely non-parasite-related pathway of function. My understanding is that it affects the sugar intake pathway of the parasites. I wonder if this same mechanism also has non-parasite-related effects on cells eating sugar.
