Getting covid was the best thing to have happened to me! I took Ivermectin during covid and not only did it get rid of the covid it got rid of my 15 plus years of stomach problems. No Dr's ever helped me! Over the years I tried every diet, no gluten, no dairy, nothing spicy but nothing helped except Nexium (Pfizer)

Nexium is a short term drug (2 weeks) but it helped so, I took it for 15 years. I knew it was bad for me but I couldn't stop taking it. In November of 2023, I got covid and took Ivermectin, all of my stomach issues were gone and still are. I can eat and drink whatever I want with zero issues now and I feel great!!

Nexium and other antacids, 8ncluding over the counter Tums, etc., block the body's ability to produce nitric oxide, which is essential for overall health. Mouthwash and flouride also block the production of nitric oxide. The doctors must know this and still prescribe in great numbers anyway. Another reason to avoid the pill pushers as much as possible!!

I'm thrilled that my stomach issues are over but, it makes me furious thinking about all the years of needless pain and, thousands of dollars spent on Dr's, tests, and Nexium. I have zero trust with Dr's and the pharmaceutical industry.

What was your stomach protocol?

Can you please explain in detail what the issues were and exactly how you cured yourself.

Thank you very much!

The Doctor said I had inflammation of the stomach lining. It came out of nowhere.

I'm was normally a slender woman with normal eating habits and active. My stomach constantly rumbled, gas, bloating, constipation, heartburn and ,acid reflux. At the end of every day I wasn't slender, I was so bloated I looked and felt like I was 6 months pregnant. I was miserable and tried everything but nothing helped except Nexium. I gave up trying to fix it because nothing worked and doctors had no answers on how to fix the inflammation. They just wanted to treat the symptoms and not the cause.

When I got covid my friend gave me ivermectin and I took 1 pill a day for 5 days. I believe they were 25mg. That was it! 100% cured the inflammation in my stomach. How did the Dr not know this? Or did he?

Sorry, I forgot... (🚨 🚨🚨 stop reading if you don't want the gross details) during the 5 days of taking the ivermectin I had INSANE diarrhea. This was not normal for me because I was constantly constipated. It went on for a week and it was 5-6 times a day. At the time I thought it was from covid but after my stomach was cured I realized it had to be from the ivermectin. Since that week I lost 4 pounds and now I'm back to my normal slender self. I'm never bloated and my weight never fluctuates.

It sounds like you may have had some type of parasite that IVM killed. That is excellent news. Now, I always have IVM on hand including when I travel.

A bit of an aside: I have had GERD related to post nasal drip on and off for a long time. Allergist is stumped on how to deal with it, and in the past, gastroenterologist has put me on Prilosec, which can cause cancer. I did some research and found this pre-biotic:

https://www.amazon.com/ISOThrive-Prebiotic-Liquid-Supplement-Probiotic/dp/B01DZ2ZBHQ/ref=sr_1_4?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.A_zpyImUucdxGj7ZX3Jgug.G29K4aKfaaR4YdLrJYNWeADn0vMQbFM5E6I1alvR2hc&dib_tag=se&keywords=isovive&sr=8-4

It's helped quite a bit so far, and I don't think I've taken it for more than week. They suggest at least a month, and I have no problem doing that. It tastes good, and as long as I do certain things (like don't eat a few hours before bed) I feel pretty good.

Interesting. Since so much of our health status plus brain health begins in our guts, this doesn’t actually surprise me. Good for you!

Will you take it on and off now kind of like taking a supplement/vitamin?

Once a month I take 2 pills. I have no idea if I really need to but, I know it can't hurt. I notice less joint pain from taking it.

I noticed less joint pain. I took it weekly for 2 years. I take a couple a month now.

A friend who has a bladder cancer recurrence is taking fenbenazole and ivermectin. I printed out information from substack and he told me at the new year he’s decided to do that, he is in his late 80’s. He took the first jab and believes it triggered his relapse. His wife took one shot and started lying to the neighbors because the pressure to jab was high in their retirement park.

FLCCC says to take Ivermectin with a meal for best absorption, but just about anywhere else (through internet search) says take on empty stomach. Does anyone have any research showing which way would be the most effective way for taking IVM?

Expand full comment

Ivermectin should be taken on an empty stomach only if you are treating some parasitic infections. Otherwise it is much more potent when taken with a fatty meal. I read this recently on substack but cannot remember where.

Expand full comment

Billions of people take this all the time in countries other than 1st world countries like us. All kinds of living conditions locations, etc. I doubt there is much of an issue about this.

Expand full comment

The issue is around obtaining best (maximum) absorption. Some meds/supplements need fats for best absorption, some don’t. So, is there research that I am not readily finding that indicates which is best way for taking it. No doubt people around the world just toss it down however without problem, but are they getting maximum benefits.

Ben Fen had a good post on this. Taken with butter, olive oil or peanut butter is best for absorption

Rick, my bottle of pills says to take with food.

Expand full comment

I agree. I take my D with a meal containing fat. Plus others. I’ve just never seen this addressed with IVM and I have read ALOT about it. So clarification would be nice. Cheers.

Expand full comment

I suspect that it is slightly better to take it with at least a little food, true for most things....

Expand full comment

I read some document (can't remember what/where) that if you take ivm with a fatty meal, you get 2.5x the absorbtion into your blood stream compared to taking it on an empty stomach. If you take it on an empty stomach, there is more left behind to do its work on your gut parasites. So WHY you take it dictates HOW you should take it.

Expand full comment

Thanks! Makes sense that way too. I did recently run across this in a paper -

"the high lipid solubility of ivermectin resulting in it being widely distributed throughout the body. Following oral administration, mean peak plasma concentration occurs approximately 4 h after dosing, a second peak at 6–12 h probably arising because of enterohepatic recycling of the drug, with the plasma half-life of ivermectin being around 12 h"

The high lipid solubility certainly seems to suggest taking with a meal

Expand full comment

Ditto this question.

Expand full comment

I have done both and prefer to take it with fatty food or my fish oil.

My prescription said on an empty stomach. I think it’s better absorbed with fatty foods. Just my opinion and I have no proof.

Expand full comment

Thanks. I think it makes sense to take with food and fats for general purposes. For treating internal parasites it does make sense to use on empty stomach though. We “starve” our goats before we treat them with IVM or other anthelmintics...they don’t approve of having to do without a meal though 😂

Ivermectin's effacacy threatened the EAU of the bioweapon VAXX death shot., of which gives immunity for crimes of fraud committed to Gates and company (WEF). With turbo cancers from Vaxxed victims, Iver and Fenben is more important than ever. Beware of the X virus coming from Porton Downs et al-it has a 20% mortality rate as WEF's current telegraph road warning sign!.

Expand full comment

No worries... Pfizer just bought a "small" pharmaceutical company, Seagen for $43B, that is makes treatments for fighting turbo cancers. - the ones they and the rest of mainstream medicine deny their covid jabs are causing. BTW, Seagen's most popular drug is Adcetris and costs around $11,906 for a supply of 1 powder for injection. "The infusion is given every 3 weeks for up to 16 doses. You may receive fewer doses if your disease gets worse or if you have serious side effects."

New sub / follower. Excellent content. Question: Is it reasonable to take ivermectin or fenbendazole regularly for "prevention" over the long term, like a vitamin, instead of a medicine after you get sick? If so, what is the suggested protocol?

Expand full comment

Many take it twice a week. I’m going to start the same.

Expand full comment

EE,

Yes, it is.

There were studies done on 12mg taken weekly or bi-monthly. Both were effective.

My husband and I take IVM once a week for a few weeks before we travel and then daily while we travel - especially now with so many people having “flu like symptoms”. We were on 3 cruises and no issues.

When we don’t travel, we don’t take any, but are giving some thought about now taking it weekly for prophylactic prevention. It is safer than aspirin and approved for pregnant women. 🤔

Ivermectin for Covid protocol

It’s .4 - .6 mg/kg of body weight. So if you weigh 100 pounds, that 45kg. You would multiple 45kg X .4 or .6 and get 18mg one dose daily for at least 5 days or until symptoms resolve.

Currently I have no symptoms. Was interested in using it for the benefits of cancer prevention an It’s anti aging attributes. Since the “PetMectin” comes in 50mg tablets, I was curious as to how to section out the dosage along with frequency as a preventative supplement.

It appears that yet another antiparasitic compound called artiminin is being repurposed to treat cancer. What is it about antiparasitics? Are cancers born of parasitic infection? In any event, the research seems promising according to this report:

an acquaintance with a daughter with severe autism told me sometime in Summer 2020 about Dr. Hulda Clark .... I bought 4-5 of her books ...... her premise parasites and toxins are the source of all diseases (illness, cancer my words) apparently by definition viruses are parasites ?? apparently high enough divided doses of vitamin c will eliminate any virus (Dr. Robert Cathcart .... wikipedia deleted his page sometime between Summer 2020 and 2023) ..... apparently high enough divided doses of vitamin c will eliminate toxins

these anti parasitic drugs, anti viral drugs ............. are working at the source of the issue it would seem.

Expand full comment

Thank you for sharing your insights. I tend to agree with you that it's becoming increasingly apparent that antiparasitic compounds as a general class are showing tremendous promise in treating many forms of cancer. It seems more than plausible from this that parasitic infections may well be the primary source of the issue.

John,

Have you looked into colon hydrotherapy? I highly recommend it. I’ve been doing them for 14 years. You’d be amazed what will come out of you the first 5 or so that you do. ❤️🙏👍

Expand full comment

Well…. i’ve done a closed colon hydrotherapy thing at my doctors office once and they have been telling me ongoing to do coffee enemas and I’ve tried that but for some reason right now for 2 1/2 days after I do that I’m completely bloated/uncomfortable/miserable. I’ve tried it 5 diff times and the same thing has happened every time. I’m following their directions so I have no clue about why that’s occurring. I’ve always eaten a good diet….mostly organic all the time and now I’m even doing gluten-free. And now only drinking structured water. Just got the other day and I can feel a bit of a difference already just from that change.

Expand full comment

An enema is different than colon hydrotherapy. I like the open systems personally. You’re probably experiencing bloating because your colon needs to be cleaned before doing a coffee ‘implant’.

A friend of mine owns several colon hydrotherapy locations and has an informative website.

I’m working on getting one down here near Tampa (Sun City Center area). In Florida you need a massage license to be a colon hydrotherapist. Other states don’t require it. I’m running my own company and don’t have time right now to get the license.

I haven’t found a place in florida yet. For now, I need to travel back to NY and visit her when I’m back.

Don’t give up, though. Hydrotherapy is the way to go. It’s helped me so much. 🙏

Yeah, it’s a lot more difficult to get licensing in Florida for a lot of things that other states from what I understand. But in a way I try not to be a good thing so you don’t have some fly by nighter operating a business where they don’t know what the heck they’re doing, do you live over in that Tampa area? I live in Saint Augustine.

Maryland, where I have lived my whole life, is very much under the thumb of the federal government I have come to think. The politics is brutal and the amounts of money being struggled over is incredible. and the elections are fraudulent.

excerpt from https://www.marylandmatters.org/2019/08/06/erasing-history-baltimore-renames-park-strikes-all-trace-of-iconic-congressman/ "Much of the Eighth Ward that had been populated by the Irish became the Tenth Ward just before the turn of the 20th century, when the boundaries of the city’s election districts were reconfigured. The new boundaries, which still exist today, were the rectangle bounded by E. Preston Street, N. Caroline Street, E. Monument Street and The Fallsway.

Thereafter, the Tenth Ward was known, in a rather high-minded and exalted fashion, as “The Gibraltar of Democracy.”

The Hendricks Club was born in the days when U.S. Sen. Arthur Pue Gorman, of Howard County, and I. Freeman Rasin, the undisputed citywide boss of Baltimore, reigned supreme in Maryland as “The Ring.”

When Rasin died in 1907, the mantle of citywide boss fell to John J. “Sonny” Mahon, who drew heavily on support from the Hendricks Club.

It was said in those days that on Election Day, the returns from the Tenth Ward precincts would be held back until word came from downtown as to the number of votes needed to put the organization ticket over the top." look at 1994 Governor's race in Maryland, Sauerbrey lost by 5993 votes with 6000 votes without signatures found in Baltimore City .... 3 years later Linda Lamone was made head of elections in Maryland ..... retired Sept 2023 ........ also was on the Advisory Board and in 2015 Chair of the Executive Committee .... part of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission which tests and authorizes election software. Commission created in 2002 by the U.S. Congress Help America Vote Act (HAVA).

Finding out that Nancy Pelosi's father was mayor of Baltimore 1947-1959 ... her brother mayor from 1967-1971 over the time of the presumably 1968 organized riots ... her father was a congressman from Maryland's 3rd district ... my district in the late 1930s I believe it was.
