Dr. Tess Lawrie’s Meta-Analysis on Ivermectin to Be Published as Peer-Reviewed Paper

In social media and in the MSM, we see people promoting it as a cure-all and others saying it will never work. I think we need to be more open-minded. Instead of making fun of something or calling something a miracle cure, we need to have more balanced thinking.
A compounding pharmacy in my local area is selling and shipping Rx Ivermectin all over the country. A pharmacist working there shared with me that it does work amazingly well for the majority of people. She has witnessed amazing and fast turnarounds in health. However, for others, it is not working as well or at all.
I know people who used it and were cured. One was very ill for three weeks. She thought she would die. A person obtained and brought them Ivermectin. She saw improvement in her breathing in 12 hours and was well by three days.
An acquaintance was near death and nothing was helping. The doctors had called the family to let them know her death was imminent. Her sister, who was allowed to see her, brought her the horse paste and gave a dose to her. She took a picture of her sick sister in the ICU. The sick sister's breathing improved quite a bit within hours. The helping sister hoped that was enough so she did not give her a dose the next day. The sick sister declined in health. The sister gave her a dose daily for either three or four days (I do not recall the exact number.) after that and her sister was out of the hospital a day later. I am simply relaying the facts here.
I am NOT recommending giving horse paste to humans. I dose animals on our farm with it. It would be hard to give an accurate dosage. There is a twist-style locking ring on the plunger that you set at 50-pound increments. With air pockets in the gel or paste, it becomes very unreliable. You can legally obtain Ivermectin in pill form through online doctors. I was told the fee to interact with one to obtain the Rx is $150 which is very reasonable. Ivermectin can be tricky about how it is absorbed depending on how it is taken. It can also build up in the system which can lead to toxicity.
Another friend obtained it for her husband through a prescription she received through online doctors after everything else failed to help him. It turned his near-death situation around very rapidly. He credits Ivermectin with saving his life.
There are so many stories like these. Are they all lying? delusional? Is the wealth of research wrong about how safe it is? Are doctors in other countries who are using it for CoVid and saying it works lying? All of them? Why would they do that? Why would ivermectin want to be kept from people? Does medical corruption exist? Are people greedy? Is it possible for something to not work for some and work for others?
I researched Ivermectin in detail in the 90s because I was frequently exposed to it while working with livestock. I knew it could be absorbed through the skin and was concerned for the child I was carrying in my womb. I learned Ivermectin is a very well-documented drug, has been widely used in humans in other countries for decades, was used to worm children and adults in Vietnam, and has very few side effects. It is a very safe drug to use. It is also very cheap.
With CoVid affecting people so differently, from some having it with no symptoms and others suffering for months with others dying, a "one size fits all" approach doesn't seem very likely. I believe the people who say Ivermectin worked, but I also believe the pharmacist who says it's not working for everyone.
Shared with me:
Ivermectin is as safe as aspirin and penicillin.
"There are few drugs that can seriously lay claim to the title of ‘Wonder drug’, penicillin and aspirin being two that have perhaps had greatest beneficial impact on the health and wellbeing of Mankind. But ivermectin can also be considered alongside those worthy contenders, based on its versatility, safety and the beneficial impact that it has had, and continues to have, worldwide—especially on hundreds of millions of the world’s poorest people."
