Here is my experience with Ivermectin as a healthy almost 40 year male with really nothing wrong or so I thought.
Before I get into the detail about myself. Why did I decide to try out Ivermectin when there seemingly was nothing wrong? There has so much bashing of Ivermectin and HCQ from the MSM, big tech, government, etc that I had to see what they were hiding. I did for science. We are supposed to question science, that's how science works.
Back to my health, I struggle with the usual things that always gets chalked up to life and getting older. A few kids with busy schedules, desk job, average at best diet, not enough exercise resulting in the usual symptoms.
- Never feeling rested in the morning. Tired most days.
- Brain fog, lack of motivation/energy.
- Seasonal allergies.
- Etc
The usual or so they say.
The only real complaint was my digestive system's happiness is directly correlated to my diet. Eat the wrong things and I have to worry about a Joe Biden at the Vatican possibility.
After researching independently and seeing all the positive feedback from individuals and researching the history and how incredibly safe and effective it has been for various diseases, I decided to give it a try because there was no medical reason not to other than the obvious propaganda. I ordered the paste from Amazon (Durvet) and pills from AllDayChemist.
The paste arrived in a few days. Pills arrived 5 weeks later so I started with paste right away.
Day 1 - Friday afternoon - Nervously took 1.5 times my body weight according to the plunger notches. The only thing I noticed was about an hour later my ears had some pressure which lasted for about an hour then gone. Much less than an airplane takeoff/landing but noticeable. Otherwise I had some seriously smelly farts. Slept deeper than I can remember in a long long time.
Day 2 - Saturday - Didn't feel any different. Did a normal work out. Took a nap. It was an uneventful day. Deep sleep for both the nap and at night.
Day 3 - Sunday - Didn't feel any different. Felt rested enough to not need a nap. Average nights sleep.
Day 4 - Monday morning - Woke up feeling really good. Didn't really think anything of it since I had a relaxing weekend. Took another dose of the paste. Same ear feeling for about an hour then gone. Smelly farts and the bathroom was a bit messy. Worked out in the afternoon and absolutely crushed it. Energy levels were definitely elevated. Super deep sleep.
Day 5 - This is when I really started noticing changes. Jumped out of bed. Lazer focus all day. Crushed another workout in the afternoon. Felt like I was in my early 20's again.
Day 6 /7 - More of the same. Feel incredible. Digestive system was doing well but untested.
Day 9 - Took my last dose of the paste. No ear feeling. Farts and bathroom were interesting again. Energy/Focus and sleep quality are epic.
Day 10 - 30+ - Did some travel for work and took a vacation with the family. Digestive system was tested and definitely seems to be improving every day but while much better is still diet dependent. I was able to make myself tired from being overly busy and traveling but every morning I felt refreshed and felt great all day.
Some 5ish weeks in when the pills arrived I decided to give them a try. Arrived again on a Friday afternoon
Pills day 1 - Friday - Took 18mg (.2mg x weight in KG). Smelly farts. Nothing else
Day 2 - Feel great
Day 3 - Feel great. Managed to wreck my digestive system at a sea food buffet. Not as bad it used to be but definitely still a problem.
Day 4 - Monday - Took 18mg again. No side affects. Feel great.
Day 5 - Feel great. Epic bathroom experience but about noticed about 10+ white rice shaped things in the stool. Not researching what it was. Just flushed and taking a mental note. TMI. Over nighted my remaining ivermectin pills (Kept 18mg for day 9) to a relative out of state who just got admitted to the hospital with Covid. Hopefully he takes them and lets me know how it works but most important that he gets better.
Day 6 - Order more Ivermectin pills and HCQ while I was at it from AllDayChemist. Feel great. Epic bathroom experience again with only 2 noticeable white rice shaped things. TMI.
Day 7 tomorrow.
So recapping my health complaints and how Ivermectin changed my life:
- Seasonal allergies - No change
- Digestive systems seems to keep getting better every day. I'm definitely much more regular and spend much less time in the bathroom. Maybe it's just been wrecked for so long that it takes time to heal. Time will tell. The last couple of days have been super promising.
- Brain Fog - Gone - Literally lazer sharp focus all day every day.
- Energy levels are insane
To dive deeper into exercise and motivation while exercising. I was a high school athlete and I worked out super hard through my mid 20's and even random stretches of time into my mid 30's. I always crushed the workouts and it never took long to see results.
Fast forward to mid 2020, my wife and I decided to start exercising again with all of free time and to drop the new weight from months of having nothing to do. I worked out for about 3 months during the summer but every day was a struggle and most of the time I I didn't even complete the workouts.When I stopped, I wasn't noticeably any better than when I had started.
We started again with a new years resolution in 2021 doing Beach Body's 9 Week Control Freak. Kept it up until mid July and while I did get results they were a fraction of what I normally would see. Also every day was a struggle, motivation was usually low, and I was always super sore. It took some serious mental strength to keep it up this long. Took the rest of the summer off and most of the fall. Gained about 10lb's and started back up 2 weeks before Day 1 of Ivermectin. Same story.
Now after just over a month of work outs after taking Ivermectin I'm crushing every workout. Some work outs are harder than others but I feel like I won every time. I get sore but its not a disabling soreness like before and I'm starting to see the quick results I'm used to seeing. I'm also looking forward to hitting play every day.
Another thing I noticed, is that I used always feel hungry during the time between dinner and going to bed and it wasn't uncommon that I would eat more calories in that time period than during the entire day. I always thought it was just weak mental will power since no way was I actually hungry. In last few weeks though I've noticed that I rarely eat anything after dinner because the cravings don't exist anymore. Hopefully this continues and I'll lose a bunch of weight. TBD.
So to wrap this up for the TLDR; crowd. If you are suffering from life and think it's normal let me tell you from first hand experience that it's not. Do your own research and make your own decisions since I'm not a doctor and this isn't medical advice but I will tell you that Ivermectin was the Great Reset that my body needed.

Wow. Now I want to take Ivermectin just for this! I'm around your age and have a lot of the same problems myself. Sluggish, tired. Finding it harder to focus or find will to exercise.
I have a great doctor who promised me she will prescribe me HCQ or Ivermectin if I get Covid. But she won't give it to me just for the heck of it. I asked. Thought it would be nice to have some on hand, or even to try Ivermectin and see if it generally improves my health, like it did yours.
Is there something else ... a supplement maybe... that can do the same sort of thing?
No idea. I took quercetin from GNC a while back before I heard good reviews. Didn't notice anything. I've heard NAC is good but haven't tried it.
This was a far reach for me. I'm just a daily Vitamin C/D/B12 taker and recently zinc if I'm feeling down. I mostly stay away from doctors and medicine in general.
I was doing quercetin and zinc a few days a week while working inside a hospital just to keep my immune system primed. But then I realized that it's really good for allergies and I pretty much dropped antihistamines totally. My use of decongestants dropped significantly, too.
But if you are doing it for immune support, be sure to stack with zinc.
If you are supplementing zinc every day, you should add small amounts of copper.
Too much zinc competes with copper and leads to deficiency, which affects hair, skin, nails, and brain function.
Yeah, saw someone else mentioned NAC. Maybe I'll swing by a GNC next time I see one and ask about it.
Quercetin with zinc.
Get the horse paste at the feed store.
NAC. But our fucking corrupt politicians are trying to ban it as well. It is a natural supplement that you can get at most vitamin stores however I'm finding more and more stores are not getting shipments.
Yes I was shocked to find Amazon had pulled it from their offerings recently.
What's the "reasoning" behind the gov suddenly wanting to ban it??
Works to avoid severe covid
What's NAC?
Reliablerxpharmacy.com no script required, much cheaper than in the US. Takes about a month. You have to pay by e-check which if you have a checking account is no problem.
Did you use the bill pay option? I'm about ready to put in an order and I'm guessing 12mg and the 3 mg should be okay since I basically would need 10mg and husband 15mg based on wt calculations. I have no idea what 2 or 3 additional MG would do but I planned to do half a 12mg and the 3mg to get to 9mg.
It takes a LOT to OD lol when in doubt it's okay to take a few mg over rather than under. I went with 12mg and 6mg pills just so I wouldn't have to cut. 12mg I bought by mistake because I had them in my cart and forgot, added some 6mgs and at checkout I saw but figured fuck it, the more the merrier!
I did ACH, but whatever works! Mine took a month both times, 32 days or so the first time and about 30 the second.
I'm confident having ordered twice. They expire in like Oct 2023 from the last batch I got so you'll be clear. Plus I've read you can use it will past exp.
Tysm really appreciate the info!
the single supplement that was a game changer for my energy and mood was black seed oil (capsule form is easiest). come to find out that on the Frontline protocol they recommend black cumin seed (which is where black seed oil comes from) if you cant get ivermectin. I dont think its a full substitute obviously but it dramatically increased my health since i started taking it 2 years ago.I take 500mg capsules every 3-4 hours every day for years. I usually take about 5-6 every day. HIGHLY recommend!
Can you recommend a brand?
for capsules I do Maju directly from the website or there is a brand at Whole Foods (theres only 1 but cant remember what it is) that is also good. I can feel the difference when I do and don't take them. other brands I tried I dont feel like I took anything so stick to either of those :)
