I was talking with a friend the other day, who is a medical doctor, and I asked him about Ivermectin. He said that they know there are studies which it seems to help but they don't know if it's causation or correlation. I have read that somehow it acts as a protease inhibitor and keeps the virus from replicating, and my friend said that it doesn't make sense to him that an anti-parasitic drug would fight viral infection, but he is open minded to see what the research turns up. He also told me that the chloroquine that was promoted last year is actually linked to a larger mortality rate than non-consumption. His experience is that there are 3 main factors for getting really sick from this virus. The first and biggest risk being obesity. The second and third being diabetes and something else I can't remember.

Could it be hypertension?

Yes it was. Are you my friend? Lol.

My friend is a Nephrologist, so I should have remembered that.

Nope, but being fat usually rides along with being hypertensive and having diabetes. All of those require medication that can diminish immune response (lowering testosterone, etc.), affect cardiac output, cardiac output affects hemoglobin, that affects oxygen saturation, blah blah and so on.

Thank you. Good to know.

garlic is said to be called an antiparasitic.

want to see what real real parasites look like for humans?

that is pretty much what they look like.. here is the interesting part of the intestinal parasite.. they bite into some flesh in your intestines and they suck your blood.. and, like every creature that eats... this is one that also shits.. he shits toxic substances into your intestines that mixes in with the foods that you have eaten and then this toxic crap is passed into your blood stream and then circulates thruout your entire body and brain.

these little creatures can bring upon you any illness or disorder that is imaginable, including psychiatric disorders.

guess what kills them? large doses of fresh garlic.

garlic is hot like fire to them..

it dissolves them... they release their teeth from you and they melt..

Excellent points. The 4th factor is: a carrier of COVID19 breathing into your face

Ivermectin proposes many potentials effects to treat a range of diseases, with its antimicrobial, antiviral, and anti-cancer properties as a wonder drug. It is highly effective against many microorganisms including some viruses. In this comprehensive systematic review, antiviral effects of ivermectin are summarized including in vitro and in vivo studies over the past 50 years. Several studies reported antiviral effects of ivermectin on RNA viruses such as Zika, dengue, yellow fever, West Nile, Hendra, Newcastle, Venezuelan equine encephalitis, chikungunya, Semliki Forest, Sindbis, Avian influenza A, Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome, Human immunodeficiency virus type 1, and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. Furthermore, there are some studies showing antiviral effects of ivermectin against DNA viruses such as Equine herpes type 1, BK polyomavirus, pseudorabies, porcine circovirus 2, and bovine herpesvirus 1. Ivermectin plays a role in several biological mechanisms, therefore it could serve as a potential candidate in the treatment of a wide range of viruses including COVID-19 as well as other types of positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses. In vivo studies of animal models revealed a broad range of antiviral effects of ivermectin, however, clinical trials are necessary to appraise the potential efficacy of ivermectin in clinical setting.

It's no wonder big pharma doesn't want people using ivermectin. It's a massive profit loss for them to lose out to a 50 year old drug that treats multiple ailments.
