I spent last Saturday night at my wife's Christmas party. There was a coworker that had a child with the flu and another who's husband was up all Friday night throwing up. We were drinking outside around a fire and it was about 32 at the coldest. Some bad deciscions lead to a good time but I payed for it Sunday.
What I thought was a bad hangover didn't get any better with time. By Sunday night I still had a headache and the sneezing and coughing started. Optimistic I could possibly feel better Monday morning I loaded up on Benadryl and ibuprofen. I tossed through the night growing more achey and loosing all energy. By morning I knew work was not happening. I took some OTC cold and flu medicine and an Advil. I was going to sleep off what I could. All day in bed my symptoms were being treated but not the problem. Monday night wasn't any better. Tuesday morning was the same even after more OTC meds.
By 200pm I was ready to put the horse paste to the test. My wife was at work so I used what little energy I had and ran to the local farm supply to get some. I know...I went in the public while I was sick... I'm sorry, I was desperate. When I got home I pulled up a bookmark on dosing ( https://www.maximpulse.com/permethrin/ivermectin-calculating-a-dose.html ). I followed the directions and settled in for a nap. 2 hrs goes by and I was able to fall asleep. After 2 more hours I woke up, no headahce, congestion, sneezing, coughing or aches. My appetite was back but still low energy.
Tuesday night was good. A full night sleep and a morning without most symptoms was worth it. I was still low energy and had a headache again. I spent Wednesday on ibuprofen and the day was restful. Just restful. I was ready to regain my energy and get back to normal. This morning I was symptom free but still low energy. I think that mostly was from needing calories. A big tablespoon of honey did the trick. I feel much better now but still a little tired. I'll update in the future. I'm sure you don't want to hear the details but it's supposed to eliminate worms and parisites and you can guess how you dispose of them. Read or not your choice. So there it is. Not a doc, not advise, just it is what it is. Draw your own conclusion.
TLDR.....IMO it works!
I was having some cold like symptoms for the last 4-5 days. Usually I never get full blown colds. I haven't had a bad cold in 4 years or so.
I started having a runny nose and a itch in the back of my throat. Because of my post nasal drip I was coughing up what was running into my lungs. Pretty standard for me as I have chronic sinusitis and asthma.
Yesterday morning I took quercetin, zinc, D3, and C. Last night I took a dose of ivermectin and another zinc.
Even before I took the Ivermectin my runny nose had stopped and the itch in my throat was gone. When I woke up this morning still no runny nose or itchy throat.
I'm pretty sure my body was fighting a mild cold (omicron?) and when I threw the vitamins at it my immune system got a leg up and knocked it down. I'll continue taking the vitamins this week and take another Ivermectin dose in 2 days.
No side affects noted.
Nice! Glad to hear you're feeling better. Cheap OTC remedies have Big Pharma shaking. In their attempt to shut them down they've exposed themselves and their agenda...$$$
