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

wewbull@feddit.uk 23 hours ago
It’s also a human dewormer, or many other kinds of parasite. At proper dosage it’s generally a very safe drug. Two things.
- Ivermectin is a drug that costs cents to make 100s of pills. If you’re paying $500 for a bottle… They saw you coming.
- Don’t buy medications from scammers. See point 1.

$500 bottle of ivermectin!?!?!
Somehow, that’s the worst part of this to me – somebody got hugely ripped off. I regularly need to buy ivermectin for actual horses, and it’s $10-$15 for a horse-sized dose. And this dumb motherfucker spent $500 on a single bottle?
KC_Royalz@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I know 4 people, who use the horse version. Because they raise cattle they can get it and they use it for themselves. One of them used to help his cancer treatment.

That’s 4 to many.

Anybody can get it.
Walk into a Tractor Supply, North 40, or any animal feed/supply store, and you can pick some up right off the shelf.
For a while there, curing covid mania, cashiers were actually asking people for a picture of their livestock before they’d sell it to you, but even then you could have just shown them any picture of any horse and that would have been enough.

Depending on his weight that could be quite a high dose of ivermectin (the normal dose is 0.2mg/kg) but that seems like an extreme reaction.
I see three possibilities:
- He’s very light weight and sensitive to the drug
- He’s having an allergic reaction
- He actually did have a parasite infection and he’s having a Mazzotti reaction.

mebendezol
Never heard of it so probably not a great recreational drug. Oooh Wikipedia confirms
Mebendazole is a highly effective, broad-spectrum antihelmintic indicated for the treatment of nematode infestations
Mebendazole sometimes causes diarrhea, abdominal pain, and elevated liver enzymes. In rare cases, it has been associated with a dangerously low white blood cell count, low platelet count, and hair loss,[14][15] with a risk of agranulocytosis in rare cases.

From Google AI:
Ivermectin and mebendazole are both antiparasitic medications. While used for treating worms, combining high doses, such as those often discussed in off-label contexts, is controversial and frequently marketed without clinical backing.
Standard antiparasitic regimens are dosed by weight or specific infection type, often as single or short-term oral doses. The FDA-approved dosages for these drugs are established to treat specific parasitic infections.
High-dose combinations of ivermectin and mebendazole, sometimes compounded by specialty pharmacies, have surfaced online as an unproven, off-label regimen, including claims regarding cancer therapy. Medical and oncology associations strongly advise against using these antiparasitic drugs as a cancer treatment, as there is no established clinical evidence of their safety or effectiveness for this purpose.

Is there a Near-Darwin Award?
orioler25@lemmy.world 23 hours ago
Y’all always love eugenics jokes. And like always, before you get pissed about me telling you that this is a eugenics joke, yes, equating evolution with intelligence is reliant on eugenicist notions of natural human ability and evolution as a process that picks out the “bad” or “weak” elements of a species.
Darwinism is a concept that only refers to how traits are passed on, not what normative values those traits have. What you’re referring to is more akin to social-Darwinism, which was a pseudoscientific concept that emerged as a catch-all rationalization of social inequities along the lines of arbitrary social values like industriousness, naturalized class, racism, ableism, etc.
Unsurprisingly, it was popular among Nazis. I hope you understand the irony in applying it here to make fun of a person who subscries to an anti-science concept promoted by fascists.

That’s totally fine. I have a book by a native American grandmother explaining the use for local plants and they work. This, however, does nothing unless you have a parasite. Taking it for anything else is dangerous and ineffective.

mustbe3to20signs@feddit.org 1 day ago
Ivermectin is in fact used in human medicine, but the tablets come from real pharmaceutical providers, not some random wellness company. Most importantly they are used with a specific indication, not as some sort of wonder pill like the maga dipshits.

If “alternative medicine” worked, it would just be called “medicine“.
Senal@programming.dev 1 day ago
Im all on the “listen to the medical experts” train.
There are however some medicines and treatments that legitimately started as “alternative”.
A lot of it is horseshit though.
Also modern medicine isn’t infallible(nor the people that practice it).
Statistically though, it’s fucking high magic compared to most internet sourced diagnoses.

The quote is from Tim Minchin. I think the track name is Storm.
It’s him talking to someone at a dinner party and he’s trying to bite his tongue when someone new starts talking stupidity, but it gets to a point where he breaks and goes off on a rent.
It’s a very well written and entertaining but.
What what’s missing from the quote is something along the lines of “You know what they call alternate medicine that is proven to work? Medicine”
The whole point of the quote is exactly what you are saying that some medicines legitimately started as alternative medicines
Viceversa@lemmy.world 1 day ago
What are those?
ignotum@lemmy.world 1 day ago
The issue is that alternative forms of medicine are most often studied scientifically and either found to work (upgraded to medicine) but more often than not it is found to have no greater effect than placebo or random chance, but these alternatives continue to be practiced, meaning people end up getting ineffective care, and their money is funneled into an industry incentivised to discredit and spread distrust towards real proven medicine
