Ok so this is for the ivermectin pills crowd. I got a batch of IVM-6mg from alldaychemist back in Feb. and haven't used it til just recently due to my wife being sick. We thought it was the infamous "Covid" because her body hurt so bad, she was vomiting a lot and was on the verge of getting a fever. She went to Urgent Care and they asked her to take a "Covid" test for which she refused to. They said they suspect she have "Covid" so she came home and told me.
I had her go on Ivermectin to see what happens. It is now about 2 weeks later and she's still feeling nauseous, diarrhea and feeling "floaty" like she's on a boat and everything's swimmingly around.
I've read what people said online on what would go away like warts, skin condition and such and we were monitoring these stuff on my wife to see if there's any improvement. After 2 weeks, nothing. No improvement of any kind.
Could it be possible we got a bad batch from Alldaychemist? Or is she being under-dosed/overdosed? I followed the info on America's Frontline Doctors for the dosing and gave her per the instructions but no improvement, even though she stopped throwing up since Day 1 but the nausea is still there as well as diarrhea.
How do we know it's working or it's not working? I do plan to start taking Ivermectin as soon as she gets better but if she's not getting better at all, then what's the point of me taking it if it turns out to be a bad batch?
The expiration date on the boxes aren't until the end of 2023 so it should still be good?
Any advice at this point? Thanks!
She's dehydrated.
Could she be pregnant?
Highly doubt that for personal reasons but I can guarantee you she isn't pregnant.
We got rid of warts with a zinc supplement.
Does wife have white spots on her finger nails?
Also, does she supplement with anything at all?
I wasn't sure if I should give my wife zinc but when I was also looking up on HCQ, I saw that HCQ also requires zinc for better absorption and I was like, "Was she supposed to take zinc with IVM?"
So now that you've mentioned zinc, should she have taken that as well? Tomorrow will be her third dose so if there's anything she need to take along with IVM, let me know.
Also please tell me (if you want more specific help on this topic of nutrition as opposed to ivermectin) if she is on other supplements or medications. She might have a b12 deficiency or something if she doesn't supplement and the doctor's did not check her nutritional status.
If you can tell me her current supplement or medication regimen and her symptoms, I can try to pin point some help for you.
For example, if she already takes a multivitamin with b12, then we can check that suspect off the list.

Last thing (sorry, I get scattered):
Always Use Zinc for Diarrhea – Zinc Deficiency & Diarrhea Remedy – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEf9T73iRZw
Also make sure she is getting her electrolytes replaced if she's having consistent diarrhea.
Well prior to her getting sick, she was already taking a couple of vitamins.
She was taking zinc, quercetin with bromelain, NAC, fish oil, vit C, Glucosamine Chondroitin/MSM complex (for her knees), feverfew to manage her headache/migraine, magnesium glycinate and B-Complex.
I doubt she has a b12 deficiency as she have been taking B-complex (it has b12 in it) and she pees out whatever her body doesn't need as far as B vitamins goes. The only thing we haven't been taking is copper as that's new to me.
I don't know what Dr. Z said in terms of taking zinc along with IVM as I had assumed IVM was the only thing she needed to take. The Frontline Doctor's doc didn't mention taking zinc along with IVM but it did mention doing that for HCQ.
Good for you for hesitating. Too many people are taking WAY TOO HIGH of doses of zinc AND without its antagonist, copper. Dr. Zelenko was off with his calls for 50mg of zinc. That's batshit crazy.
Zinc and copper work together so get a supplement that has both of those.
Something like 25 mg of supplemental (not from food) zinc should be plenty for the day during illness.
According to research, the ideal zinc to copper ratio is 8:1, with an acceptable range from 4:1 to 12:1.
I will try to answer your questions as they roll in if you have more!
edit: I would do a supplement for a few days and reassess the situation. You won't come close to overdose if you keep it low and slow.
Have you tried the paste ivermectin? If you can get a hold of some of that at the feed store, try it and see if it makes any difference. Make sure to get the right kind, not ones with other ingredients in it. When I first got sick the only thing at the time was to get the paste, and it helped me and some of my family members that took it. I have some of the pills from that same place, and I've taken them once in awhile just to take them (not when sick). Like I was taken them once a month, but haven't taken them in a few months, so have no idea if they would help when I'm sick.
We have the paste also but my wife is apprehensive toward taking the paste kind, which is why we have the pill form ones.
