COVID-19

For the treatment of COVID-19, the first and foremost drug to consider is ivermectin (see below on Ivermectin's effectiveness against COVID-19).

COVID-19 Treatment Protocols (FLCCC Alliance recommendations)

  • FLCCC Alliance. Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance. Organization of doctors and researchers focused on prophylaxis and treatment protocols for COVID-19. The links to the I-MASK+ (prophylaxis and early outpatient treatment) and I-MATH+ (hospital treatment) protocols are found on their home page. Both include ivermectin as the main ingredient and other over-the-counter items like vitamins C and D3, Quercetin, Zinc, etc.

Treatment items to purchase (at a minimum for prophylaxis and early outpatient)

  • Ivermectin. See below on How to purchase ivermectin. Try to get enough of this medicine for two-to-five dosages. FLCCC Alliance (go to the I-MASK+ link on their home page) recommends 0.2 mg/kg of ivermectin per dose for the prophylactic and early outpatient protocols. This corresponds to 13.6 mg of ivermectin per single dose for a 68 kg (150 lb) man--calculated by multiplying 68 kg by 0.2 mg to equal 13.6 mg. If, for example, the drug you purchase comes in tablets of 3 mg each, then a single dose for a 68 kg (150 lb) man is approximately equal to 5 tablets (i.e. 13.6 mg divided by 3 mg equals 4.5, or rounded up to 5 tablets).
  • Vitamin C. 1,000 mg twice a day (prophylaxis) or 2,000 mg 2-3 times a daily (early outpatient). To consume large quantities of vitamin C, consider including it in your Electrolyte water.
  • Vitamin D3. 1,000-3,000 UI/day (prophylaxis) or 4,000 IU/day (early outpatient).
  • Quercetin. 250 mg twice a day.
  • Zinc. 50 mg/day (prophylaxis) or 100 mg/day (early outpatient).

Treatment items (optional, at home use)

  • Nebulizer. A nebulizer changes medication from a liquid to a mist so you can inhale it into your lungs. Portable nebulizers work Ok; countertop varieties are better but noisy. The "medication" Dr. Mercola recommends to use in a nebulizer for the flu is just salt and hydrogen peroxide. His nebulizer solution formulation is as follows: In a 16 oz container of distilled water (he uses a Mason jar for the container), add one level teaspoon of salt and three-quarter teaspoon (i.e. three one-quarter teaspoons) of 12% (food grade) hydrogen peroxide. You can skip the hydrogen peroxide if all you want is to breath in moisture. I purchased a portable one, Mini Handheld Nebuliser, which has worked reasonably well this past year. (There are many similar varieties all around the same price point.)
  • Humidifer. This adds moisture to the air which can help ease some of the respiratory symptoms caused by the COVID-19 disease. Inexpensive varieties sold at Walmart.
  • Diffuser. If you intend to use aromatherapy (like eucalyptus oil), then you will need an Aromatherapy or Essential Oil diffuser. Inexpensive varieties sold at Walmart.
  • Oxygen Concentrator. The hospital or emergency room may send you home with an Oxygen Concentrator like they did with me. You should know how to use it. In particular, make sure a humidifer bottle is included. Mine did not come with the (optional) bottle and I was breathing dry air for weeks, resulting in dry, irritated and bleeding nasal membranes.
  • Far Infrared Sauna. Expensive but highly beneficial. Specific to COVID-19, the sauna will help in healing of damaged lung tissues as a result of pneumonia or lingering COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease). Make sure it's a "far" infrared sauna, the "near" varieties will not have the same beneficial effects. In a far infrared sauna, about 20% of the heat goes to heating the air and the other 80% heats your body. This radiant heat penetrates the skin more deeply than traditional saunas. Read the following: The Benefits of Far Infrared Sauna Therapy which explains the many medical benefits. This is the one I purchased: RELAX SAUNA 95% Pure Far Infrared on eBay.

Ivermectin's effectiveness against COVID-19

  • NIH Revises Treatment Guidelines for Ivermectin for the Treatment of COVID-19. Published 1/15/2021. Ivermectin is now a therapeutic option for doctors & prescribers. The NIH (i.e. National Institutes of Health, the primary agency of the United States government responsible for biomedical and public health research) has upgraded their recommendation on ivermectin, making it an option for use in COVID-19. “Ivermectin is one of the world’s safest, cheapest and most widely available drugs,” noted Dr. Kory, President of the FLCCC Alliance. “The studies we presented to the NIH revealed high levels of statistical significance showing large magnitude benefit in transmission rates, need for hospitalization, and death. What’s more, the totality of trials data supporting ivermectin is without precedent.”
  • WHO-sponsored review. A WHO-sponsored review suggests ivermectin can reduce COVID-19 mortality by as much as 83%.
  • Ivermectin as a prophylaxis. While Ivermectin can be useful at all stages of SARS-CoV-2 infection, its real strength appears to be as a preventive approach. An example of this is India's four-month trial using ivermectin as a prophylaxis. Of 58 health care workers who took ivermectin once a month for four months, only four (6.96%) came down with mild COVID-19 symptoms during the May through August 2020 trial period, compared to 44 of 60 health care workers (73.3%) who declined the medication.
  • India's experience with ivermectin. In August 2020, India’s largest state, Uttar Pradesh, added ivermectin to its recommendations and distributed the drug for home care free of charge. The state of Bihar also started recommending ivermectin, and by the end of 2020, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh had the lowest and second-lowest COVID-19 fatality rates in all of India.

How to purchase Ivermectin

  • Ivermectin is purchased by prescription in the United States and Canada. In most countries of the world, ivermectin does not require a doctor's prescription. However, this is not the case in the United States and Canada. If your doctor will not prescribe it for you, look for one who will. Consider using this website, PushHealth.com (Ivermectin Online Prescription), if you need help finding a doctor who will prescribe it for you.
  • Ivermectin for pets and farm animals. It turns out that ivermectin was initially developed and brought to market in 1981 as a veterinary antiparasitic drug. Six years later it was registered for human use. Ivermectin is widely used for pets and farm animals (i.e. cats, dogs, pigs, rabbits, chickens, sheep, goats, horses, fish, etc.) as a dewormer. For pets and farm animals, it is sold in paste, powder and liquid forms. Here is one vendor selling the powder (i.e. granule) form: HomeLabVet.com (3.5 mg of Ivermectin per gram).
  • Ivermectin Safety: Oop! I Just Took My Dog's Heartworm Medicine. "Over 300 million people take ivermectin each year. To date, ivermectin has been shown to be a safe and well-tolerated drug. Most adverse reactions are mild and temporary, such as loss of appetite, headache, muscle aches, lack of energy, and fever." Please read the side panel under the heading, "This Really Happened," for case studies on the toxicity of ivermectin.
