Zinc ionophore, it helps cells absorb zinc more efficiently and the extra zinc inhibits viral replication therefore your immune system has an easier time keeping up.
The term 'ionophore' refers to a substance that opens channels into a cell that other molecules can pass through. So a zinc ionophore is a substance that opens channels into a cell that zinc is able to pass through to get inside the cell. It has nothing to do with absorption.
Zinc needs to be inside the cell to interfere with viral replication, but it can't get inside cells very effectively on its own. It needs help from a zinc ionophore to get inside. Hydroxychloroquine is a zinc ionophore.
I read that Ivermectin works by causing a change in the shape of the spike proteins on the virus so that the virus cannot bind to and infect cells. I don't remember any more details than that though.
I thought it was that it gums up the receptor on the cells, but not sure. In any case Ivermectin blocks the virus from entering, so they say - that is if you believe the whole virus story. But that's another debate.
We know that IVM takes out parasites, and there is some proof that there is some parasitical-like action. Also, from experience in my family, we take IVM when the body signals something is not right. So even headaches, scratchy throat or constipation issues means take the stuff for a few days.
Since the advent of IVM in our family, we have basically not been down, like we used to, with bugs. We notice that the scratchy throat will come in a wave, but none of us actually get sick.
We also now are stocked up on aspirin. It is another long-established safe drug. We carry it in a briefcase for work too. It's amazing how people will carry a headache to the office. One aspirin can just relieve it.
I don't remember the details from the paper I read last year, but you are correct about the fact that Ivermectin somehow prevents the virus particles from binding to and infecting cells. I just don't remember the exact mechanism the paper described other than it changes the conformation of one of the proteins needed for binding. Maybe it was a receptor protein.
And since I've worked in virology research labs for 30 years, I lean towards believing the whole virus story lol. 😄
I'm on mobile so I don't have access to that info atm, but with the right search engine it shouldn't be too difficult to search and find a lot of good papers online. There have been dozens of good papers published over the last year or so since all the censorship started falling apart.
You will also find a lot of earlier publications showing that HCQ and Ivermectin don't work against COVID, but those were very poorly designed studies, often intentionally, to support all the government lies. For example, since most people don't understand that HCQ has no antiviral activity, but just facilitates zinc to be much more effective, they did several studies where they treated HCQ without zinc, generally at overwhelmingly high and toxic doses that killed patients, and then they claimed that proved it was ineffective against COVID and even dangerous. They intended those studies to fail and kill a bunch of patients, often veterans in VA hospitals, so they could discredit HCQ. Over the last year that has stopped and many publications are now beginning to tell the truth.
Yes that is rather disgusting - I find this sort of testing on vets (and army personnel) to be repugnant. This also counts for old-age homes.
What do you think about the studies that claim they are isolating viruses, by adding monkey-kidney cells, human cancer cells, antibiotics and other nonsense before testing for whatever is left?
Furthermore, requests for information from governments all over the world report there is no 'isolated' sample of SARS/Cov19.
I think you are completely misunderstanding how viruses are grown and isolated in a lab. Each type of virus has one or more varieties of cells that it is best able to infect and replicate in. For example, influenza viruses do best in canine kidney cells, so researchers grow canine kidney cells in flasks and then infect those cells with influenza virus to grow large quantities of virus particles to be used in research. Many other types of viruses grow best in kidney cells isolated from the African green monkey, and some grow well in specific cancer cells. Once you have large stocks of virus grown, those can be used for many different types of research, including isolating the virus particles themselves to study their structure and life cycle. Our labs are strictly used for testing experimental drugs against many dozens of different viruses. We don't develop or create the drugs, we are just paid to test them against specific viruses. We don't manipulate the viruses, we just grow stocks of them so that we can then use those stocks to test the experimental drugs.
We have 3 entire labs dedicated strictly to SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) testing. Of course the virus has been isolated. If the virus hadn't been isolated, then no testing would be possible. Isolated samples of many different viruses are available to approved research facilities from ATCC (American Type Culture Collection) and several other sources. The more dangerous viruses require government permission to obtain and work with and labs using them are strictly regulated and frequently inspected for safety and security by the federal government.
People who claim that viruses, including COVID, have not been isolated are completely wrong, and in most cases are probably the same people who believe the earth is flat and that men can get pregnant. Individual virus particles can be viewed using electron microscopy, and the entire genome of a virus can easily be mapped and studied. It's ridiculous to claim that viruses haven't been isolated.
An additional note if you're taking NAC as a zinc ionophore instead, NAC and Glycine are precursors to the antioxidant Glutathione that your own body makes and those two with Magnesium are important in manufacturing collagen to repair joints. Magnesium Glycinate is also the most bioavailable form of Magnesium and you'll find some brands selling "GlyNAC" which is all three in a single pill for convenience.
Modifies the protein on our cells that viruses use to invade cells, leaving the virus in the extracellular space where it can not replicate and is eventually taken up by immune cells, broken down, pieces are then presented to other immune cells that start to produce antibodies to those pieces. Antibodies bind to the viral cells, other immune cells recognize this and take up the virus/Ab complex and remove from the body. Very basic, tried not to use too many of the specific cell names to keep it easy.
Basically, the body will recognize foreign cells and remove them. By keeping viruses in the extracellular space and keeping them from entering cells, they can not do anything and the immune system will swallow them up and remove them.
This also shows why a mRNA vaccine is dangerous. It is supposed to insert into your DNA so you produce the spike protein, which your body will supposedly recognize as foreign and produce antibodies towards. Problem is, our cellular systems also mark self-made proteins so the body sees them as host instead of foreign. This issue is one of the foundations to the autoimmune diseases caused by the vaccine.
Don't take anything that messes with your DNA, just don't.

I actually knew about this from the info I linked in the OP. It was one of the reasons that once I understood the vaxx, I pretty much checked out completely on it. Like I said, fiance has cfs, and one of the potential causes is an autoimmune response based on cells infected with herpes-related viruses like Epstein-Barr. It's why lysine helps with CFS/fibromyalgia, it inhibits herpes viruses from replicating.
Facilitates the transport of zinc ions into your cells.
The zinc inhibits virus replication so runaway infection is stopped allowing your body to clean up the virus that remains.
"These findings suggest that ivermectin binds to glutamate-activated chloride channels existing in nerve or muscle cells of nematode with a specific and high affinity, causing hyperpolarization of nerve or muscle cells by increasing permeability of chloride ion through the cell membrane, and as a result, the parasites are paralyzed to death."

Thank you for this. Very helpful.

OK, so you have my interest now, tell us more, or direct us to some papers?

I'd be interested to hear your opinion.

Doing laundry or dishes, it's the water that does the work and the soap helps it do it's job.
With covid, it's Zinc that does the work and the Ivermectin helps it do it's job. As per Dr. Zelenko.
Add "D" & "C" etc. for immune boost.

Good chance this has what you are looking for but if not comment back and I'll post others.

I think hydroxychloroquine needs to be taken with zinc but ivermectin is a different approach.
