Home|The WELL|With Less Deadly Side Effects than Tylenol, This Multipurpose Drug
is Indispensable


WITH LESS DEADLY SIDE EFFECTS THAN TYLENOL, THIS MULTIPURPOSE DRUG IS
INDISPENSABLE

 * May 01, 2024
 * 



Discovered in the late 1970s and approved as a commercial product for animal
health in 1981, ivermectin, an antiparasitic drug was initially used by
veterinarians to treat mite and heartworm infections. Since then, this drug has
enjoyed success in treating many diseases and has been credited with saving
thousands of lives.  

His love of golf led to this discovery

Satoshi Omura (former head of the Antibiotics Research Group of Kitasato
University) has a habit of carrying small plastic bags in his wallet. He uses
these to collect samples of soil to bring back to his laboratory for testing and
experimentation. On this fateful day in the early 1970s, he was doing just that.
Mr. Omura collected soil samples near the local golf course. Taking the sample
he had collected back to the laboratory, at Kitasato Institute, in Tokyo, Japan
where he and his coworker parasitology specialist William C. Campbell started
their testing and experimentation.

Nobel prize-winning drug

Little did Mr. Omura know, that he had collected microbes that would change the
world, earning him and his coworker William C. Campbell a Nobel Prize for
Medicine in 2015.

Initially, the Merck Research Lab specialist and Mr. Omura had isolated a group
of drugs from the Streptomyces avermitilis strain called avermectins.
Avermectins possess anticancer, anti-diabetic, antiviral, and antifungal
properties and are used for the treatment of several metabolic disorders.

 From this group, further structures were isolated and modified. One of these
was ivermectin, which was discovered to be more potent than existing treatments
for parasitic worms. (1)

In 1988, ivermectin was approved to treat Onchocerciasis (known as river
blindness) in humans and was part of two global disease elimination campaigns
for two types of parasitic worms. One was for river blindness, and the other was
for lymphatic filariasis. These campaigns are still ongoing and are offered free
of charge to poor and developing nations, especially in Central and South
America.

Other diseases such as ear mites, scabies, roundworms, and hookworms along with
other parasitic diseases have devastated the world’s poor, and ivermectin is
being used to combat these diseases. The antiviral activity of ivermectin has
been proven to be effective against a host of RNA and DNA viruses, such as Zika,
yellow fever, and others. (2)

Move over big pharma, Nature knows best

Ivermectin is included in the World Health Organization’s Essential Medicines
List as a parasitic medication. In addition to its ability to kill parasites,
ivermectin also possesses amazing antiviral and anti-inflammatory qualities. (3)

 Ivermectin has FDA-approved uses for:

 * Onchocerciasis (River blindness)
 * Strongyloidiasis (parasitic worm)
 * Lice
 * Acne rosacea

Common Off-Label Uses:

 * Scabies
 * Ascariasis (parasitic roundworm)
 * Lymphatic filaria
 * Strongyliodes stercoralis
 * Loa Loa (African eye worm)
 * Hookworm-related cutaneous larva migrans
 * Trichuriasis (whipworm infection)
 * COVID-19

Astounding safety profile

Ivermectin has very few side effects and has proven to be one of the safest
medications on the market. According to the package insert for Stromectol, the
generic version of ivermectin, “Significant lethality was observed in mice and
rats after single oral doses of 25 to 50 mg/kg and 40 to 50 mg/kg,
respectively... “This would be the equivalent of a 150 lb. man taking 283 of the
12 mg ivermectin capsules that are part of the Contagion Emergency Kit and
Medical Emergency kits! (Our tablets contain 12 mg each; the kits come with 25
tablets.)

 * Ivermectin is dosed according to body weight and the recommended dose is
   0.6mg ivermectin per lb. for COVID-19 prophylaxis.
 * For instance, a person weighing 150 lbs. would need 3 (36 mg a day) capsules
   for 5-7 days. That totals 15 to 21 capsules. (4)
 * Other medical kits on the market only contain 3 mg tablets in either 20 or
   40-tablet quantities. You would have enough for 1-3 days of treatment
   depending on the quantity of tablets. Of course, ivermectin in those doses is
   for parasitic treatment, and not for COVID-19 exposure or prophylaxis.



The Wellness Company has you covered

 * Both the Contagion Emergency Kit and Medical Emergency Kits contain enough
   ivermectin in adequate strength and number to cover prophylactic use in case
   of COVID-19 exposure.

breastfeeding, or using any other medications.

Controversy

Why is there so much controversy over a proven medication with so few side
effects that has been used for years to safely treat entire populations without
all the pushback that ivermectin has been getting the past several years? Could
it be that big pharma had other antivirals that could be patented, leading to
massive profits, unlike ivermectin, which has been off-patent and available as a
generic medication for years?
