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.
I have chronic reflux, and have to use a large wedge in the bed to prop me up. There are several reasons for reflux...the most common being a corruption of the esophageal opening in the diaphragm, known as a hiatal hernia. A more uncommon cause of reflux is a heliobacter pylori infection in the stomach. That would make sense if the ivermectin cured the reflux, by wiping out the infection.
thats what I am thinking it was an infection that ivermectin cured. Why the hell dont doctors use this. She spent the last 10 years being tortured by that.
I could write a book about the incompetence of doctors. I've seen plenty (nearly a dozen trying to diagnose and treat the reflux), and they are, for the most part, a bunch of buffoons. They don't read medical journals to stay current, and basically are just clerks who can write prescriptions.
My PCP is a really nice guy...but he literally googles shit while we're talking about my condition, even if we've previously discussed it. I tried two others in the area, and they're even worse. At least he's willing to to listen to my suggestions and act on them.
Hahaha, I brought in a journal article once and the doc I consulted countered with a readers digest article. I literally stood up and told him do not Bill me, asked for my file and left.
