Now that's a wonderful side effect, in general. Might help with the smell and taste loss of covid if the damage doesn't extend too deep. The olfactory nerves have a supporting substrate that can be damaged.
I contracted one of the earliest strains of COVID-19, which resulted in the loss of my sense of smell. Despite waiting a month, it did not return to normal. I researched a long COVID protocol that involved the use of ivermectin, and I went through a full tube of it. It appeared to be effective, as my sense of smell has now returned to normal and has been for over a year.
Wow. Awesome for you. Please tell me what dose did you use and how long tube lasted at that rate ?? Ty In Advance I know ppl with similar issues. Loss of taste as well
I found a general long covid protocol on https://covid19criticalcare.com/ I didn't have all their recommended things to take, but I took the ones I could or had on hand without going to a doctor. But I also do a number of other things already recommended in the protocol by default. Such as Daily intermittent fasting, vit D, and regular doses of NAC with breaks here and there. lots of the usual things.
As far as a tube goes, it really just depends on the dosage you take. I remember there was a conversation chart a while back to dose it correctly for the weight that I no longer have. If you find a doctor willing to prescribe it that is definitely the way to go through.
Yes, that's a good point.
Very interesting thoughts as I know a few ppl suffering from taste and smell loss post COVID . Thoughts on dosage and frequency??
I just had another round ov COVID. No loss of smell. Horrible headache was the main symptom. This would be round 4 or 5. I work in a school.
Go to the link, select the PDF format. At the top of p. 8 they describe their procedure. They are applying it topically, not taking it orally, and sealing it. Doesn't seem to take much at all. Of course, you couldn't seal the inside of your nose, or tongue, so oral preparations might be necessary. Usual dose is 2 mg/kg. Of all the experiments in this study the longest treatment was 8 days. On a more bandage-able wound, I expect horsepaste or sheep drench would work.
Two 8mm diameter full-thickness biopsies were removed from the dorsal skin of adult male BALB/c mice. In the wound on the right side, 30 μL collagen gels containing 10 μM ivermectin or DMSO (control) were pipetted onto the wound and allowed to solidify (Figure 5A). The left side wounds remained untreated and served as additional controls. Both wounds were sealed using Tegaderm, and wound progression was followed over the course of 12 days. We determined that ivermectin partially aided in wound healing as determined by quantification of wound size over time (Figure 5B). At days 8−9 as well as 11−12, ivermectin-treated wounds were significantly smaller than DMSO-treated controls.
