In any sane country Mary Talley Bowden MD would be struck off the medical register for propagating this brain damage.
Screw all of this wacky, inconsistent, cynical medical advice. Bring barbers back!
Stuff like this in the only reason Twitter needs to stay alive.
The new hot cure to hantavirus: bloodletting! Balance your humors and align your chakras with this one simple trick!
Don’t listen to this quack! What you need is theriac, theriac I say!
I’ll sell you leeches from an ancient bloodline! These storied lineage of leeches have drained foul and dangerous humors from some of histories great men!
From Caligula to Kissinger these leeches have left a wake of well balanced, totally sane statesmen. For only three easy payments of 20.99 you too can be drained and join in greatness!
But wait!!! Order now and receive a camo snuggy and a box of tissues, COMPLETELY FREE
Instructions unclear, one of the leeches drank too much of my blood and started a rampage around the neighborhood. Also, I’m feeling real heavy, just gonna nap for the rest of my life i guess
We let them the first time too. If you want to eat horse paste who am I to stop you?
The shitstain who was (and still is) behind the Ivermectin fraud is called Pierre Kory. You can view a very nice and in-depth debunk of all of his claims by Professor Dave here:
https://youtu.be/KW_HPnTVuDkAh, it’s refreshing to see her back to saying crazy bullshit again.
Yup, was scary finding myself agreeing with her for a while there…
Remember, she changed and began to agree with us for a short time. Our view never changed.
The vast majority of viruses are RNA-based so it appears that we have a pretty much universal cure here.
Ivermectin works primarily by paralyzing and killing parasites, such as worms and mites, by binding to specific glutamate-gated chloride channels in their nerve and muscle cells.
Nothing to do with RNA viruses.
From what I understand, this 2012 study reports that Ivermectin inhibits transport proteins between cytoplasm and the nucleus which atleast some viruses require. I wonder if the glutamate-gated chlorine channels have a similar mechanism that allows Ivermectin to work in both cases. https://doi.org/10.1042/BJ20120150
I think it was the irony
You are posting dangerous disinformation as a science meme. Reported.
Stop advertising X dot com.
I hope you realize who your target audience is. If a Lemming doesn’t know actual science and who MTG is, I have bigger questions about that person than the post.
I don’t know or care (as a European) who MTG is, but obviously from the USA. All I see is a screenshot of some MD telling ivermectin should work because reasons I don’t understand.
As a fellow European and therefore educated beyond fourth grade I know what RNA is, I also know that ivermectin is a horse dewormer, I also know that viruses aren’t parasitic wounds.
As a fellow European, I wish I didn’t have to know who MTG is, but sadly I do. I also wish that I never heard of HCQ, homeopathy, and the relations between Semitic religions and space-based laser weapons, but here we are
woooooosh
Bruh
WTF?
This stupid cunt didn’t learn a thing from Trump fucking her over, and back to the old song and dance. It’s not even surprising… I really hope these tools load up hard on horse paste, hell, mainline it, I could use the entertainment…
She learned that owning the libs is fun.
I’m sure the libs will be very upset if these idiots mainline horse dewormer, that they will have purchased for 16 times it’s actual retail value.
And remember, if you get sick with the hantavirus you can get over it quickly by taking 2x the LD50 of Tylenol. A couple of days and you won’t even feel sick. Be sure to tell all your conservative friends because the government likes to cover up this kind of information.
Just drink bleach. Bleach kills all viruses and bacteria.

I died at this.
So is that like LD100 or something; I’m not technical so trusting your numbers here.
It isn’t like LD100 (although it may be)
LD50 is the minimal dose lethal to 50% of a subject population. Twice that dose might be anything between 50% and 100%.
Damn Poe’s law.
I believed in your nonbelieving, friend!
I wish I loved something as much as conservatives love Ivermectin.
You do, it’s either self hosting, Linux or socialism
Damn, I’m 2 for three. One day I’ll have the spare computer to self host something.
Why not all three
Self hosting your socialist Linux app.
I love not having worms in me exactly as much as I love ivermectin, basically a miracle drug for that. They must be getting the dosage wrong tho because they’ve clearly got brain worms.
Does Lemmy have an equivalent to the Herman Cain Awards subreddit? We’re definitely gonna need one.
Ivermectin comes in apple flavor if y’all are worried about the taste.
/s
Ivermectin? I hardly knew her.
Ivermecter?
In the US, people don’t go to the doctor when they have a problem, they go as a last resort because they have to ask themselves how much it would cost.
18% of Americans haven’t ever seen a doctor and 40% of Americans haven’t seen one for 5 years.
A number of studies in low income communities in the south show that over 60% of people in those communities have intestinal parasites. That’s just the ones we know of.
One thing we know for sure is that ivermectin is about as magic as they say it is for parasites only. It’s a fantastic drug for that.
Over 60% of low income citizens would likely feel much better after getting their parasites removed from ivermectin. So what they are seeing, seems true. They could be sick from something else but get rid of a long standing comorbidity of a pariste infection, you bet they are feeling good. They just think that relief from the varied symptoms from parasite is actually something else cured.
This ivermectin religion has real miracles, it’s just not the ones they think they are. This belief is entirely created because Americans don’t have healthcare. That’s why this belief isn’t found elsewhere.

Pretty much this, although it seems freeing the immune system from fighting the worm infection really does help it in fighting the Coronavirus infection: https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/ivermectin-much-more-than-you-wanted (Ctrl+F “The Synthesis”).
TL;DR: Studies showing a positive effect from Ivermectin on Covid came mostly from areas with high worm infection incidence, areas with low incidence showed no or smaller positive effect.

“I am solving the problem by taking the medicine, and I am smart because I’m using a secret medicine they don’t want me to know about” causes the brain to release the good feelings chemicals which does make you feel better.
In the US, people don’t go to the doctor when they have a problem, they go as a last resort because they have to ask themselves how much it would cost.
In Estonia it’s sorta the same except a visit costs nothing for the GP and 20 euros for the initial visit to a specialty doctor (subsequent visits are free).
We just don’t go to the doctor because we’re stubborn as fuck and “it’ll heal on its own”.
Not if you don’t rub some dirt in it first it won’t
18% of Americans haven’t ever seen a doctor and 40% of Americans haven’t seen one for 5 years.
What the fuck? Have you a source for those numbers because they’re shocking
Hmm looks like some stats I pulled were from polls, and I fell victim to people paraphrasing that around 20% of rural people not having a primary care doctor in the last few years as “not even having seen a doctor” sorry about that.
40% of Americans haven’t seen a doctor in 5 years: https://studyfinds.org/americans-avoiding-the-doctor/ https://www.aarp.org/pri/topics/health/coverage-access/health-care-rural-america/?
But the limited stats on primary care and a lot of self reporting is very bad.
62% parasites infection: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.01.10.23284404v1.full
Typing in “southern united states rural primary care access” in Kagi has a lot of sad results.
You got the fucking receipts
Thank you! They are some wild numbers.
I haven’t seen a doctor in at least a decade and a half, when my parents took me to checkups as a child. I’m very lucky to be healthy, and am in the gym 3-5 days a week to keep my streak going as long as possible.
However, I’m calling bullshit on this:
A number of studies in low income communities in the south show that over 60% of people in those communities have intestinal parasites. That’s just the ones we know of.
That sounds insane to me. 60% is a motherfucking epidemic. Where’s the source for these studies???
I haven’t seen a doctor in at least a decade
How do you handle vaccines?
I don’t get vaccinated regularly. Covid was an exception, and I got that at some medical place that was offering them for free (In hindsight idk what type of business they were, but the dude who injected me looked like a real doctor)
After three doses, almost everyone is initially immune,[2] but additional doses every ten years are recommended to maintain immunity.
It’s extremely common in Africa. My ex who was Zulu hated that you couldn’t get deworming here. Ignore the fact that in Ontario you aren’t getting worms. She brought her misconceptions that KZN is like here.
