I’ll guess Ivermectin improves gut bacteria like bifido bacteria resulting in gut related improvements aside from clearing up parasites.

Thank you for planting that seed of Ivermectin and its impact on gut health!

It somehow brought me to Dr Turner's substack:

which coincidentally links to this study:

Microbiome-Based Hypothesis on Ivermectin’s Mechanism in COVID-19: Ivermectin Feeds Bifidobacteria to Boost Immunity:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9309549/

Which was subsequently retracted (but I remain skeptical about the reasons attributed thereof):

An aside:

The principal author of the above study, Sabine Hazan, has participated with Heavy Weights like Peter McCullough in another Ivermectin & Covid relational study (of note is the clinical trial incorporating Ivermectin & Doxycycline as a therapy to treat hypoxia):
