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.
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.
