I got into an argument over the weekend with a guy who said he works in the hospital, maybe a physician, scoffed when I told him my doctor proscribes IVM and HCQ like she's a quack.
On Ivermectin he kept asking "you know what it is?"
"An anti-parasitical."
"Yes. How does an anti-parasitical stop a virus?"
My mother got to the same block.
I mentioned that Ivermectin and HCQ, along with Zinc, make a passage for Zinc to enter the cell and inhibit cell replication. Of course, the next step is how zinc in a cell inhibit cell replication, but I'm glad I can remember that far.
Does it really matter, though? If a medicine man knew a certain leaf or berry would cure an illness, maybe he has a story that it's blessed by the Earth Mother or what not. Does it matter? He saw that it works, he remembers that it works, and he uses it.

I make this point about acupuncture all the time. It works for me. I don’t think it works how Asian medicine says it works. But I don’t really care.
I remember reading about what it actually does, and iirc it has something to do with blocking pain signals to specific nerves, which makes the muscles relax in the area affected by the acupuncture. You can obviously see how this would be good.

Exactly.
