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.
