Ivermectin worked for me, my son and my wife. And when my wife took it it had a very surprising upside. You see my wife has had severe acid reflux. We even had to tip our bed so it was not flat. She has been rotating through various pills for this for like 10 years. It sometimes gets so bad that food gets stuck and she cant swallow due to the swelling and throat inflammation. She has eaten a truck load of antiacids and tons of prescription pills.
After taking the ivermectin when she was very sick from covid/flu she has not had acid reflux since. Its been a month and its gone. Not reduced but gone. This is the first time in over 10 years where she is not being tortured daily by it.
The funny thing is that she knew I was taking tons of ivermectin, my son took it, but she fought me on taking it until she was very sick. Its almost like she hates to admit that I was right and the acid reflux is a super bonus.
Yes. Topical application works as well. A jockey at the racetrack for a woman I was working for told her to put ivermectin on the nose of a filly that had a fungus/bump. He said it would clear up with that.
Plot twist: that filly made headlines in 2018 by beating a 10-term New York Democrat incumbent in a congressional primary, before becoming the youngest woman ever elected to Congress.
😁
LOL….I bet that filly’s name is Alpha Omega Charlie.
What was someone from Philly doing running in a NY congressional race.
That sounds reasonable - young horses, espcially around 1-2 years of age, often get warts around their noses. The old advice was "just let them grow up, the warts will go away - " but since the 1980s when horses started getting ivermectin for deworming, cases of warts seemed to be much less common.
Huh.
Yep. That was right around when I started riding. It wasn’t until recently that I realized ivermectin was younger than me. Lol. And we pretty much did monthly dewormer with ivermectin. Or sometimes alternating with praziquantel.
Have you ever known a horse to die of cancer? I have not. I know grey horses sometimes get tumors, but even so I don't think it's fatal.
When a famous horse dies, it's always colic or laminitis or "infirmities of old age." I do not remember hearing of a horse that died of cancer.
Off the top of my head and 40 years of horses, I can’t say that I have.
And I used to be a professional physiologically correct barefoot trimmer for rehabilitation and performance. I can say that horses really shouldn’t be dying of laminitis or founder either. Those are human-caused conditions, mainly from grains and/or too rich grasses. Plus stall keeping, shoes, incorrect trims, not enough exercise, etc. And then some cases from toxins. I just put down my 27- year-old Thoroughbred last year as he was simply no longer thriving and was no longer joining the herd. And I had one that died many years ago after he critically injured himself in a trailer. He had to be put down immediately.
