So normally I never get sick, never got the vaccine, never got sick during the pandemic, etc, but for the first time in many years I can actually say yesterday I must've caught something and got sick.
Got terrible sleep the night before since I had a really bad stomach ache (took a shit ton of CBD to be able to sleep, and get rid of the pain). Woke up yesterday with a bit of a sore throat, cough, and headache. It slowly moved to a fever of 101.3 by mid-day. My voice was all messed up, overall felt like complete crap.
Once I noticed I had a fever, I knew something was up, so took about 12-16mg of Ivermectin. Took 1800mg of NAC spaced throughout the day, a small bit of homemade fire cider, and 2000mg of Vitamin C in the evening. And then right before bed, smoked about 1/4 of a Datura flower, and used a small amount of Datura ointment as it's an effective herbal sedative and antispasmodic (I'm not recommending anyone use this plant without proper knowledge of how it works, it is highly poisonous and will literally kill you if you don't know what you're doing).
Woke up this morning feeling just as good as I ever have, absolutely zero signs of sickness whatsoever.
I calculated it out once, 6.08g per tube, that's 6080mg. At 1.87% ivermectin, that's 113.69mg ivermectin per tube. I can't remember how many notches total, but take that total ivermectin per tube and divide by number of notches to figure out how many mg of ivermectin per notch.
Then I believe it's 0.2mg/kg of body weight for a prophylactic dose, and 0.4mg/kg of body weight for a full-treatment dose.
It's very forgiving and is unlikely to hurt you if you take extra, although I wouldn't recommend taking an entire tube (likely wouldn't hurt you, but why bother and hey it's useful stuff, why waste it?)
On the day I was sick, I took 6 notches (I'm relatively light, maybe 120lbs or so). Another 4 the next day, despite feeling fine, and another 4 today just cause why not and wanted to make sure the sickness stayed away. I'll likely continue to take a similar dose once a week, even though it likely isn't necessary.
Thanks so much for the reply. The plunger has five segments of 250 lbs of weight, up 1250lbs. I calculated 22.738mg per 250lb segment. I'm curious about your dosage b/c I've heard the ol' "it'll destroy your liver" argument from several people. It seems like it wouldn't be used all over the world quite liberally if that was the case. I figured they either got bad info, or they're trying to discourage usage.
So I'd likely believe that those claims are bullshit, but I did some quick searching and here's what I found. There is one specific doctor who claims it's caused all this liver damage (90% of people who took ivermectin were supposedly affected), although no evidence of the claims were ever provided. Note that I've never actually heard of a single claim of liver damage from anyone.
Looking for actual studies, I actually was able to find one, and am including it below as well. This study goes over a case of a single instance of liver damage that was noticed a month after a person took one dose of ivermectin. Note that this case involves 1 person, the damage was noticed 1 month later, and there was never any real indicator that the ivermectin is actually what caused the damage (could've been anything).

Also below on Mayo clinic's website, note that under the side effects page not a single mention of anything to do with the liver whatsoever. Not even under rare side effects.

I appreciate the digging. I'm sure you're aware there are several alternatuve cancer treatments using ivermectin. One I looked at yesterday, for a reference to see the dosage level, calls for 1mg/kg, we'll over the level for cold/flu usage. I tend to believe it's safe. https://blog.mygotodoc.com/p/can-2-cheap-meds-1-vitamin-and-baking
