A lot of people have asked how Ivermectin actually works against Covid.
It makes small changes to importin a-1, a messenger protein that is the gatekeeper to the cells nucleus, or control center, which is where the virus wants to go to implant its code so the cell starts reproducing viral particles.
These small temporary and safe changes mean that when the COVID attaches to the importin a-1 to allow it access to the nucleus via the nuclear membrane, the unchanged importin b-1, which is the nuclear "bouncer" waiting for the password provided by importin a-1 and its guest, does not recognize a-1 and therefore the virus is denied entry into the nucleus. Game over.
So I made up a handy mnemonic device to help you remember: ivermectin is Importin.
So if anyone asks, now you know.
There are other ways it helps but the importin a/b disruption is one of the biggest.
My mom used to put iodine on our cuts. I remember having that red mark on my fingers, arms, legs, come to think of it, just about everywhere at one time or another.
About a year ago, I was cutting off a bolt between two boards with the sawsall. I knew damn well that I was pulling hard right toward my leg, but there was another bolt closer to my leg, and that I reasoned would stop the blade.
Well the other bolt was a bolt head only, and when that blade broke through the sawsall blade stuck clear up to the bone in my leg. I went inside the house and took a bulb type thing, filled it full of alcohol, and stuck it a couple inches in my leg and squeezed it. Mr. that alcohol got my attention.
