My family recently came down with a respiratory illness. No tests were done, so I cannot say what it was: It could have been RSV, as that has been circulating or maybe a corona: I don't know. Symptoms were a prickle at the back of the throat that quickly developed into a dry cough and headache. Later, that would develop into blocked sinuses. We all took some horse paste. We also gargled. The ivermectin was miraculous. My boys had pink cheeks and were bounding around the garden the very next day, when they had all complained of sore throats and were listlessly watching videos with pale faces. I had one night of coughing and it was all over...... In the past, such illnesses would have put us all into a month or six weeks of struggle. We have always taken vit C and D as well as zinc, when we had bugs. The only difference this time was mouthwash and ivermectin. If anything came out of this scamdemic it is the gift of ivermectin. ..... Note that I am suggesting that it is not just COV19 that ivermectin works against: It could be that it will work against any respiratory virus.
