Top Ten Astonishing Facts About ‘Wonder Drug’ Ivermectin
#1 Ivermectin has been called a ‘Wonder Drug’ for Humans:
“There are few drugs that can seriously lay claim to the title of ‘Wonder drug’, penicillin and aspirin being two that have perhaps had greatest beneficial impact on the health and wellbeing of Mankind."
“But ivermectin can also be considered alongside those worthy contenders, based on its versatility, safety and the beneficial impact that it has had, and continues to have, worldwide - especially on hundreds of millions of the world’s poorest people.”
#2 Ivermectin is so safe, even illiterate people with no medical experience can administer it
“Ivermectin has continually proved to be astonishingly safe for human use. Indeed, it is such a safe drug, with minimal side effects, that it can be administered by non-medical staff and even illiterate individuals in remote rural communities, provided that they have had some very basic, appropriate training."
“This fact has helped contribute to the unsurpassed beneficial impact that the drug has had on human health and welfare around the globe.”
#3 IVERMECTIN has helped BILLIONS of PEOPLE
“Ivermectin has been used for treatment over 2.7 billion times worldwide since it was first used to treat Onchocerciasis in humans in 1988. It proved ideal in many ways, being highly effective and broad-spectrum, safe, well tolerated and could be easily administered (a single, annual oral dose).”
#4 ‘Blockbuster’ drug in the Animal Health sector
“Ivermectin is currently being used to treat billions of livestock and pets around the world. It is considered a "blockbuster drug; with annual sales over $1 billion for 20 straight years. The use of Ivermectin has helped to boost production of food and leather products, as well as keep billions of companion animals (particularly dogs and horses) healthy.”
#5 Ivermectin Cures River Blindness Around the World
In February 1981, the head of Merck research (Dr. Roy Vagelos) approved a trial of ivermectin in humans. The first trials showed that Ivermectin was “effective against the microscopic worm larvae in the skin of River Blindness patients”, which proved to be a landmark in the development of ivermectin for use in humans.
It would be a very cautious test of the efficacy of Ivermectin in patients with the beginning stages of River Blindness - before any eye damage had occurred.
#6 Recent studies show IVERMECTIN shows promise in treating Covid patients
Since March 2020, more than 20 randomized clinical trials have tracked the use of Ivermectin to treat Covid-19 for inpatient and outpatients. The results have been quite promising.
ScienceDirect reports: “Six of seven meta-analyses of Ivermectin treatment in 2021 found notable reductions in COVID-19 fatalities, with a mean 31% relative risk of mortality vs. controls. During mass Ivermectin treatments in Peru, excess deaths fell by a mean of 74% over 30 days in its ten states with the most extensive treatments."
#7 Nobel Prize co-laureate: Existing Research Shows Ivermectin Greatly Improves Covid-19 Patient Outcomes
One of the doctors who won the Nobel Prize for the discovery of Ivermectin in 2015 teamed up with several colleagues to conduct “a comprehensive review of Ivermectin clinical activity against COVID-19”.
This world-renowned doctor says the bulk of the evidence so far demonstrates “major reductions in mortality and morbidity” for treating Covid-19 patients with Ivermectin.
#8 President Jimmy Carter’s Non-Profit Distributes Ivermectin Globally
Merck has donated over 2 billion free doses of Ivermectin to help combat and virtually eliminate River Blindness since it was first granted approval for human use in October 1987.
The distribution has been handled by several organizations including former President Jimmy Carter's non-profit org The Carter Center. The Carter Center has distributed TENS OF MILLIONS of doses globally.
Over the subsequent 30 years, some 2 billion treatments were distributed. The result was an expanding control of River Blindness, and eventually its certifed elimination in several countries.
#9 Ivermectin is listed on the World Health Organization’s list of Essential Medicines
WHO: “Ivermectin is a antiparasitic medicine with a broad spectrum of activity. It is used in the treatment of onchocerciasis (river blindness), strongyloidiasis and other diseases caused by soil transmitted helminthiasis. It is also used to treat scabies.”
