  i think ever since covid ivermectin has become a magical cureall for idiots, and the more the betterer as far as the dosage goes.

      They’re not taking high enough doses, unfortunately for us and for medical teams who have to spend resources getting them better

    TBF, we don’t know, if they were dense enough to be taking that, we don’t know where they’ve been.

    It’s also a human dewormer, or many other kinds of parasite. At proper dosage it’s generally a very safe drug. Two things.

    1. Ivermectin is a drug that costs cents to make 100s of pills. If you’re paying $500 for a bottle… They saw you coming.
    2. Don’t buy medications from scammers. See point 1.

  In India, you’re supposed to take albendazole 500mg/mebendazole 400mg every year to handle any parasites you may have picked up. I’m 99% sure the issue is with his ivermectin, not his mebendazole.
