Never Say Neigh: FDA Lists 'Horse Drug' as Approved COVID-19 Treatment

This is a rather long article. If you go to the site and dig in, what you get is the FDA saying, the only reason you use this horses drug, and not Ivermecctin, is because we say so.


Never Say Neigh: FDA Lists 'Horse Drug' as Approved COVID-19 Treatment

The NIH, CDC, WHO and FDA have all recommended dexamethasone – a corticosteroid which has shown efficacy in the treatment of severe covid. It's also a commonly used drug to treat allergies in horses.

The difference? One can be used to treat billions of mild-moderate cases – or as a prophylactic, while the other has a much more narrow use – those suffering from severe Covid.

As Twitter user @DoRtChristians notes: "The FDA recently told the public not to take life-saving Ivermectin because "you're not a horse""

Per Google (via Wedgewood pharmacy): "Dexamethasone commonly is used in horses to treat allergic reactions such as respiratory allergies, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (heaves), hives, itching and inflammatory diseases including arthritis."

A lot of veterinarian drugs use similar active pharmaceutical ingredients that're seen in humans, so ivermectin, dexamethasone, whatever the active ingredient is has therapeutic effects across multiple organisms. This has never been something new, always existed in pharmaceuticals. That doesn't mean you go and consume veterinarian drugs. They're get manufactured at a lower standard too, so you're playing with fire.

There are always at least a few goofy, daring people around who will try just about anything. When they find out that the horse Ivermectin works, they got their cure and protection. The cowardly, unbelievers should try something else. In the case of Ivermectin, you can get it for people all over the place... like at CVS pharmacy.

And so which is it? The horse dewormer Ivermectin is the cure, or is the human ivermectin the cure (actually a trick question, because the active ingredient is the same, but who knows whatever filler garbage is in the veterinarian grade nonsense people are consuming). You're saying it's both?

In fact, not that this would matter for folks consuming ivermectin, but it may act as an anti-inflammatory for late stage Covid treatment. And if you're already to that point, your chances of survival are already slim.

So you'll want to try something else, I'm sure you have a concoction of alternate treatments available, surely?

the only reason you use this horses drug, and not Ivermecctin, is because we say so.

So, you don't suppose it might have anything to do with the fact that one is an anti-inflammatory (which may be useful because COVID causes inflammation) and one's a de-wormer* (which is not so useful because COVID is caused by a virus and not worms)? Or are you really unable to understand the concept of different drugs doing different things and thus treating different diseases? Because that may be a new low, even for you.

*Ivermectin is, in fact, approved for use in humans to treat worms. The main difference between the human version and the horse version is that human doctors tend to be smart enough not to prescribe medication for the wrong fucking disease, while veterinarians don't ask too many questions. "Your horse has worms, you say? Yeah, seems like there's a lot of that going around lately."

Most of the horse ivermectin has additional drugs in it. There is one main drug that is included with the horse ivermectin, but I'd have to look it up. It's used with the Tractor Supply ivermectin.

The point is this. Many nutritional doctors have known for decades that most of our sicknesses are based in parasites and worms. All it means is that we will get additional benefit from horse ivermectin. Your thinking is exactly in the wrong direction.

If you want a list of other horse drugs that you shouldn't be taking, this list is a decent place to start:
