Does anyone know if it helps with asthma - is its safe to use by asthmatics? The answer is probably yes, but I need to be sure before advising people.
Many thanks!

Thank you for this...some of the other uses come later in the article, but it really lays out all the potential benefits of using ivermectin for different disease processes. I see it is even recommended for ALS...that is interesting. I take ivermectin 2X a week and have nothing but benefits...it is a great asset in the self care medicine chest.
Thank you so much!
2011 study: Anti-inflammatory effects of ivermectin in mouse model of allergic asthma
"In conclusion, intragastric administration of ivermectin at a dose of 2 mg/kg significantly inhibits important features of allergic asthma. Given that ivermectin can be used at low doses and causes mild side effects, this drug may be effective as a therapy for patients with allergic airway inflammation such as asthma."

"...ivermectin could be used as a preventive strategy for at-risk patients. Ivermectin is considered extremely safe and is used in many settings for parasite control programs (mass treatment) because of a low adverse event profile.

“Ivermectin has been given to humans 3.7 billion times in the past 30 years. It’s totally safe and has been called a “miracle drug.” Its creators won a Nobel Prize in Medicine for inventing it, and the WHO puts it on a list of ‘must have drugs’ for any country.”
One half of the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to William C. Campbell and Satoshi Omura for “for their discoveries concerning a novel therapy against infections caused by roundworm parasites,” according to the Nobel Prize website here .
The website says that Campbell Omura discovered that the drug Avermectin, which was chemically modified to a better compound called Ivermectin, “radically lowered” cases of river blindness, lymphatic filariasis and other parasitic diseases in humans.
“Ivermectin was later tested in humans with parasitic infections and effectively killed parasite larvae (microfilaria),” the website said. “Collectively, Ōmura and Campbell’s contributions led to the discovery of a new class of drugs with extraordinary efficacy against parasitic diseases.”
Thank you so much! Now I have to persuade my vaxxed daughter to take it.
I always say do you have bring fog ? I got something for that. And hand them the ivermectin. I tell them if they ask. If the don't they usually want their brain back so they ask then. The brain fog is lifted within the hour
That would help a lot of people, specially those with thyroid problems - thanks.
Well it's to resolve the brain fog caused by the spiked protein
NAC, Ivermectin & Melatonin are recommended for clearing out the vax or long term Covid effects.
N Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) helps with clearing lungs and also some sites suggest its use against spike protein, so I would think it would def be worth investigating further.

Anecdotally, my asthma is a response to certain chemicals for which I have not observed any benefit or side effect from ivermectin.
Not a dr but when my wife's asthma starts acting up I give her a dose or 2 of the horse paste and it starts working in hours if not minutes
Thank you so much!
So it does not cure it, shame. I hoped it might.
Should it be taken with or without food?
I do both but it is recommended with fatty foods when taking zinc to aid in absorption in the liver.
Good question.
I have taken ivermectin off and on over the past two years (not for asthma)…. Never had one side effect…. Took it last when i finally caught covid this past summer… never needed more than 12mg dose at a time. Now that is a drug that’s safe and effective
Same here
