Ivermectin and zinc and vitamin c

Ivermectin is NOT going to do anything to treat covid but it may land you in the ER!! This is medicine for parasites in animals and NOT FOR HUMANS unless you have lice!

But well known infectious disease expert Tucker Carlson said it cures/prevents covid.

Maybe so but still not a covid treatment, and its not being procured at your local farm store.

There are different forms, and if a doctor prescribes it, it is a COVID treament. Off-Label usage IS a thing. And more than one doctor reports good results. It is a safe drug, but COVID treatment is an OFF-LABEL usage. That doesn't make it bad, or good. It just means you should be supervised by a doctor. And nobody is recommending people go eat animal de-wormer formulations.

According to the Dr my wife works for, the only ones prescribing this for covid in an “off label” scenario are mostly concierge doctors who don't take insurance and in some cases make you sign a waiver of liability.

First I’d like to thank everyone here from the bottom of my heart for all your thoughts and prayers. This really is a very special community and even though many of us have never met it just goes to show how we all come together when another is in need.



I started feeling a little “off” a few days after we returned from vacation but didn’t think much of it. As the week went on I felt worse and went to the Urgent Care to get tested and 2 days latter received the positive Covid results. Last Friday the 13th is when it hit me the hardest and couldn’t do anything but sleep and crawl to the couch. Between the nausea, body aches, sweats and chills I never felt anything this painful in my life. I honestly wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy! Dr says there’s really nothing you can do but let it run it’s course which is anywhere from 3-4 weeks minimum. Today is day 17 and it feels like I’m on the upside now (?) where I can finally move around without being dizzy and nauseous and finally ate a real meal the other night that wasn’t toast or soup. Doc says this new Delta variant is worse because it stays airborne longer and is highly contagious. I will admit we became very lazy with our mask wearing out here and with our heat it’s easy to do. So just a word of caution for everyone is don’t take this damn virus lightly because no matter how great of shape you’re in it’ll knock you flat out.

Now I do need to go and read the “Where’s Dave thread”. I’ve been well briefed about it and I’m sure I’m in for some good laughs.? You guys and girls are the best and it’s a blessing to be part of such a great group! Thank you for all the messages and text, they really helped get me through all this.

@Chris M said this to me in a text and it was so very true that I hope he doesn't mind that I copied it here..

"Who knew such a wide collection of keyboard warriors could have such tender hearts towards one another"?

I’m new here, but glad to hear you’re on the mend. Take it easy man.

Don't forget to wear a mask from now on.
I like this one.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery !! There are a lot of us in PHX metro on this forum. Help is literally around the corner, just holler if in need !

I’m glad you are recovering. It hits some people worse than others and you never know who! Anyway, I hope the damper didn’t have an adverse effect to your immune system, you know, due to the lack of regular tailgate curls.
