Occam's Razor:
1) A team of respected researchers, one of whom occupies a chair at Harvard, published an ivermectin study as cover so later they could publish against HCQ so Gilead makes more money.
2) The researchers looked at the data and reported what they found.

Plugging 57kg and 200mcg/kg (the traditional dose that the FDA recommends for parasites) into the MedScape dose calculator, the calculated dose is 11.40 (mg) daily.
So 2 x 6mg tablets a day.
In this write-up of a new clinical trial that I wrote this mornign, the trial is giving patients 600 mcg/kg/day -- that is, 600mcg/kg once daily for 3 days. Toward the bottom that post, I link to a study that found that 2000mg/kg did not produce Central Nervous System symptoms, a concern with ivermectin overdosing. The trial is going to give patients 1800mgc/kg over the course of 3 days.
To me, ivermectin is ridiculously safe. Literally billions of doses have been given to billions of people; maybe 2 people died, and they both had comorbidities that might explain their deaths. Read the "Safety" post I linked to in the write-up linked above.
If you went to 600mcg/kg/day, like the trial, that would be triple what I computed on the MedScape website: 6 x 6mg tablets per day, for 3 consecutive days. Take them after eating a fatty meal. Take 3 tablets after fatty lunch and 3 tablets after fatty dinner. The fat increases the bioavailability of the drug, i.e. you get 18% more kick when you take ivermectin with fat. Splitting it over two meals is the advise of a Peru MD.
That's what I would do if I were in your position.
HOWEVER, I am not an MD and this is not medical advice. It's just a amateur ivermectin sleuth offering my somewhat-informed opinion. Proceed at your own risk.
The MD who said take the ivermectin over two fatty meals also posted this. 90mg! Using the MedScape site, I figured out that 90mg corresponds to 830mcg/kg.
If fact, if you don't mind, please post about your condition and your experience as a regular post on /r/ivermectin. That will be educational! Give daily updates. If it gets embarrassing or something, you can always delete the post.
There was a post like that, when I was first getting involved with ivermectin. The guy has been suffering a long list of covid19-ish symptoms for two months. The MDs weren't helping him. The worst problem was chronic shortness of breath, which interfered badly with the guy's sleep. He self-dosed the horse paste form of ivermectin. Within 2-3 days his symptoms were better. He gave daily updates. He took a second dose a week after the first. It seemed that all his symptoms had gone away except the shortness of breath, which was better, good enough for him to be able to get a good night's sleep -- but was still a problem. THEN he stopped posting and a week or two later he deleted his post.
Just don't tell the world that you are acting on my advice, as though I am a doctor. That would be illegal; I could be accused of practicing medicine without a license.
HOWEVER, I am not an MD and this is not medical advice. It's just a amateur ivermectin sleuth offering my somewhat-informed opinion. Proceed at your own risk.

Re Baghdad study, tweet sized:
The trial was (#iveremectin + HCQ + DOXY) vs (HCQ + DOXY) -- so the research question was does IVM make HCQ + DOXY more effective? It does.
The big difference was days to recovery: 7.62 ± 2.75 versus 13.22 ±5.90 days. That's 5.6 days faster shorter recovery time with ivermectin.

A more accurate title would be "Ivermectin is still not PROVEN to be a miracle cure for COVID-19..."
There is absolutely a lot more evidence that #ivermectin works, than evidence that it doesn't (none).

200 covid-19+ patients receive 18mg of #ivermectin on day 1 + doxycycline on days 1 - 5.
83.5% of the patients tested negative on day 6.
18mg. Safe.

With #ivermectin the hold-up is research. About 45 trials are underway. Two RCTs that have reported results. Both had weak control arms, probably because MDs are understandably unwilling to give placebos to patients with covid-19.
[-] TrumpLyftAlles | 1 points
MDs are trained to follow conservative (not the political sense) practices, e.g. prescribe drugs that are FDA-approved with proven track records. Few of them have heard of #ivermectin's potential against covid-19, which is NOT proven by their standards. Good RCTs are essential.
[-] TrumpLyftAlles | 1 points
The Hierarchy of Evidence
They ignore the pro-#ivermectin case reports, clinical reports and trials, endorsements by MDs, new stories etc. -- and argue from the weakest evidence. Are they simply unaware of them? Or are they corrupt scientists?
I'd like to believe the former.

AFAIK, no one is using zinc with #ivermectin.
There are 4 trials looking at the combination, all in early stages.
2 completed trials evaluated ivermectin + doxycycline. No zinc.
Zinc might help, isn't tested, no one knows.

Tweets about Prof. Borody:
The fuss over Prof. Borody bugs me because he's never published any covid-19 OR #ivermectin research and his trial that may prove that his triple therapy works won't be done until Jan 2023.
People crow like his therapy is already proven. It's not. He made it up. No proof.
Proof of Borody's lack of relevant expertise:
Search PubMed for "Borody TJ covid-19" - no hits.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=Borody+TJ+covid-19&sort=date&size=200
Search PubMed for "Borody TJ ivermectin" - no hits
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=Borody+TJ+ivermectin&size=200
He said he is adopting results from other countries. He is starting other studies. Look at his videos on the news.
Two Bangladesh studies compared #ivermectin + doxycycline to HCQ + AZT. They showed that IVM + DOXY was superior to HCQ + AZT.
They did not prove that IVM + DOXY is superior to placebo, because they had no placebo arm.
It seems likely that #ivermectin etc may be irrelevant by the time Borody's trial is completed, because vaccines should be widely available by then.
I don't know much about clinical trials -- but trial that takes 4 months instead of 12 or 16 months would be more useful, IMO.
Let's hope ClinicalTrials:
Estimated Primary Completion Date : August 2022
Estimated Study Completion Date : January 2023
has the wrong dates.
He is starting other studies.
His triple therapy trial is scheduled for preliminary completion in 12 months, final completion 4 months after that.
By then, the efficacy of #ivermectin may be moot; with luck, we'll have good vaccines.
I'd start with the 1% in elder care facilities
It would be great to follow up on Toronto with research. Give #ivermectin to these 10 nursing homes matched with these 10 others, wait 3 months, compare. Fast, easy, safe, cheap.
Probably couldn't happen. Off-label. LAWSUITS.
Agree on all points! :)
From the public perspective, the potential ROI is huge. From Merck's, not so much.
There are ~45 trials being paid for.
Today I calculated the cost of giving all Americans one dose of #ivermectin.
$5.4 - $127 million, India vs US retail price
Agree! I think that Prof. Borody's advice to administer #ivermectin in nursing homes was good advice.
They already routinely use ivermectin in nursing homes and prisons for outbreaks of scabies.
Sadly, they won't do it until there's much better proof than the Toronto story.

Ivermectin is arguably the safest drug there is: 4+ billion doses given to billion(s) of people over 20+ years, less than 10 deaths.

now i want to go to claims again of another so-called wonder drug in the treatment of coronavirus we've got to be skeptical about exaggerated claims of course but we're also going to look very carefully at what medical experts are putting forward and what results are showing on the ground we've seen studies and trials on hydroxychloroquine for instance that are dismissive than others that are very encouraging but when it comes to the drug ivormectum we're still in the relatively early stages but it too is a federal drug agency and world health organization approved drug that's widely used around the world for parasitic infections and is now being cited and prescribed as a treatment for covert 19. in fact this high-level australian study involving a number of institutions including monash university has declared that the drug inhibits the replication of the virus kills it off the key points here are the drug kills the virus in test tube experiments a single treatment produces a 5 000 fold reduction over 48 hours it's already approved to treat other infections so it can be repurposed and it's widely available as a listed wh o essential medicine it's being trialled around the world and in australia one doctor who says we should accelerate its use is sydney gastroenterologist professor thomas barodi he joins me now thanks so much for joining us thomas i appreciate it tell us about this drug how widely available it is and and what you've seen of its effect on coronavirus patients okay so it's available as a prescription medication you wouldn't use it alone you want to reduce the dose that was done in the test tube but you add two other things to it such as doxycycline and zinc and because i'm involved in the development of these in the u.s where all the patients are there are a number of studies that are amazingly successful we're talking close to 100 percent in fact we haven't seen a result yet under 100 percent it looks like corona it is very simple to kill very simple to kill now have you seen this in australian patients can you tell us of any examples of people how sick they were and how rapidly this drug has worked now we have not started using this in australian patients
We've used it in the us and the access that I have is where we had a 14 hospital trial in bangladesh. We've got 100 out of 100.
some am behind the ivor mectin doxycycline zinc treatment because it has very few side effects and is a real killer of coronavirus and is iv mectin prescribed commonly in australian aged care settings all ready for other problems yes it is prescribed in for scabies for example we use it for stocharalis in gastroenterology and it's been well used overseas for various parasites especially south america africa and in south america for example they will treat a whole block of people in a city and not one person catches coronavirus other blocks do so i think it's time that we took a very serious look and started treating people in victoria with flying teams that would treat the aged care home people frontline workers and that those who are found positive for covet and if we start seeing within a week or two fewer and fewer going to hospital we'll have an answer very rapidly without having to go to very long and twisted trials i'll come back to that suggestion in just a moment but first up you're saying that this drug works both as a preventative from infection and as a cure for people who are already suffering symptoms correct but what you're saying now is this drug is ready and safe for use in victoria you'd like to see government and medical authorities adopt its use now won't people suggest that we need to await proper clinical trials in this country well there's so much published on trials and we have deaths happening that we should set up a team victoria in fact a team australia bring people in from other states and identify anyone who's positive and treat them and those who are around them give them half dose preventative treatment and those who are on the front lines they should all be on the preventative because the side effects are so minimal minuscule really that i don't really know why we haven't started treating before well similar care homes you know is similar to the debate about hydroxychloroquine because the drug's been around so long and you know about uh the side effects you know it's safe to use there's not much uh risk is there in actually attempting these trials to see what sort of an effect you can get the hydroxychloroquinosithromycin versus either mectin it's apples and oranges i would only support either nectar and tell us about the other medical you support you're getting here any other organizations pushing for this uh a government's listening what are the next steps here because there is a sense of urgency in victoria in particular well there it's used a lot in india the government north of australia you know has talked to us about treating the recent spike that occurred in in port moresby around this area and i think there are those who see that you can't go wrong trying something that is being reported in virtually 100 cure rate and no percent side effects like four percent have headaches excuse me why don't we use it i have doctors who take it as prophylactic here in australia and there's so many in the us who take it but that doesn't come out any news although i can get you to speak with people in the us who are physicians who develop code they get fevers headaches they lose this sense of smell and taste and within 24 hours the fevers and headaches and that the sore throats disappear it's a very rapidly acting treatment in clinical medicine finally uh professor on this i've looked at some of the material at some of the studies today it does strike me as surprising we haven't heard more about this do you understand why we haven't heard more about this why there isn't more awareness why perhaps governments in particular aren't focusing more on this well i have pondered this and i think one of the best answers is that there is no big pharmaceutical company behind it you know if i was to join a team to try and get people not to go to hospital i won't make any money out of it i'm not interested because it's cheap it's rapidly available now we won't run out of it like we did with the hydroxychloroquine but there is no huge pharmaceutical company behind it to spend millions of dollars and put people in places to treat so it just didn't get a lot of airing i guess but now it just happened because we've got summer disaster happening especially in victoria so we need to give people hope for victoria thomas thanks so much for joining us pleasure professor thomas barodi there with some astonishing news about the prospects of either mechtim a very well known drug around the world of medical circles so you heard what he had to say about it there we'll follow this story up next week for sure

US MDs can legally prescribe #ivermectin off-label like AUS GPs can. They won't, though, until it is established and known that ivermectin is effective against covid-19. Some institution will have to endorse ivermectin: FDA, WHO, AMA...
Otherwise US MDs face liability issues.

Ivermectin has been used in Mass Drug Administrations to fight river blindness and filariasis (elephantiasis) since 1989. 4+ billion doses taken by billion(s) of people. In 2019, a billion doses were donated by Merck.
https://scrip.pharmaintelligence.informa.com/PS014571/Merck-Mectizan-donation-program
Ivermectin has been off-patent for decades. In India a therapeutic dose sells for about 50 cents US. It's extremely safe, essentially 100% safe for people who don't have a couple pernicious parasites, 99.9% safe for those who do. It's a prescription drug in the US, but in most of the world it's sold over the counter.
The WHO trial registry ICTRP lists 68 trials of ivermectin vs covid-19. About 5 trials have been completed, with mixed results but largely positive. 3-5 studies (depending on what you accept as a study) have shown that ivermectin may provide effective prophylaxis against the virus, i.e. prevent people from catching covid. Ivermectin is part of the Eastern Virginia Medical School covid-19 treatment protocol for prophylaxis and treatment of outpatients and mildly-ill inpatients.

IMO it makes an incredibly strong (IMO) case for ivermectin.
Comparing 704 patients who took ivermectin to 704 who didn't, fatalities were 83% lower overall, 65% lower for ventilator patients (severe disease).

Three of the four authors are the same as those who the Lancet article Hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine with or without a macrolide for treatment of COVID-19: a multinational registry analysis. The methodology is similar.

If you're interested in ivermectin, you will articles in these subreddits (see the searches at the end):
/r/covid19 has the highest standard for science.
/r/coronavirus is less strict, stlll requires good sources.
/r/ivermectin posts have to be about ivermectin, no other standard appiled.
For conveniently searching the rigorous subs for ivermectin:
Reddit search /r/covid19 for ivermectin, newest first.
Reddit search /r/coronavirus for ivermectin, newest first.
Please forgive me if this post is inappropriate. I'm an ivermectin enthusiast and get carried away sometimes.
