Anybody able to make a direct connection yet between the ingredients of ivermectin and the ingredients in chaga mushrooms?
🧘Mental/Physical Health 🏋🏼♂️
Reasons for suspected connection at least at key nutrient level:
- Active ingredient in both appears to be polyphenols
- Both sources appear to be micro-organisms that appear in and around mushrooms or the soil that they are in
Kitasato Institute isolated organisms from soil samples and carried out preliminary in vitro evaluation of their bioactivity.
- Heavy research was instigated into both avermectin (ivermectin precursor) AND how chaga mushroom extract works in the mid-to-late 1960s
- Ivermectin appears to be indirectly derived from quinine which was created from "the bark of trees"; Chaga mushroom grows on the "bark of trees in northern latitudes" (avermectin+HCQ=Ivermectin theory)

Highest bioavailability of VitaminD of any known substance that is not a concentrated VitD supplement. I drink Chaga tea almost every day. If there ever was a "magic potion" for health this is it, imo.
