This isn't junk science, it's no science. Funny / interesting comment about ivermectin being abundant because Beni is cattle country.

The dentist claims to destroy the virus with a combination of Indomethacin, Azithromycin, Bacterol and Prednisone. From Sedes Beni they point out that he prescribes four drugs without investigating whether people have underlying diseases or digestive problems. There are people who support him and thank him.

In addition to the coronavirus pandemic, Trinidad is dealing with another problem : villagers (who are or are not infected with the virus) intoxicated from consuming self-medicated drugs or receiving treatments that are supposedly effective against Covid-19.

A large part of the intoxicated people, according to Beniano doctors, have been treated by Alejandro Unzueta, a dentist who came to Beni to fight the coronavirus with a treatment based on four over-the-counter medications.

When questioned, Unzueta explained that people became intoxicated from consuming large amounts of ivermectin . “Here (Beni) they carried out an 'ivermictization' campaign with Ivomec, which is an ivermectin-based antiparasitic for bovine use. All the people were given to believe that it was the cure for the coronavirus . As Trinidad is a cattle town, ivermectin is in all the farms. There are people who have taken up to 1 ml every day for a week. Fallacies of intoxication were invented, when in fact many people have a stomach ache from taking ivermectin. I'm not saying that the therapeutic dose given is bad, but it can be complicated with four simple medications, "he said. I don't know

Unzueta treatment consists of a mixture of Indomethacin (anti-inflammatory), Azithromycin (bacteriostatic antibiotic), Bacterol (antibiotic) and Prednisone (strong acting corticosteroid). He claims to have discovered this cure by investigating and thanks to God's enlightenment, after his eldest daughter did not respond positively to the recommended treatments against Covid-19. In addition, ask that they study it to verify its effectiveness.

"All of my group (15 people, called The Knights Templar) have been following the treatment for eight days, we are not intoxicated and a fingernail does not hurt. Don't lie that it causes poisoning . I have thousands of testimonies from people who have been cured, "said Unzueta.

The dentist also said that he shares his new discoveries to fight Covid-19, such as washing the back of the infected with a dish of salt. This, according to Unzueta, improves the breathing of those affected.

Unzueta says she and ntregado more than 30,000 packs of treatment, having achieved this make Trinidad 'sleep' quiet after several days. "We deliver the pack and follow up, we are not irresponsible, we even have a kind of 'call center' where people call because they do not understand how to take four tablets together every 12 hours, even when we facilitate the procedures on paper," he said.

Unzueta regrets that he is not recognized for his work and, on the contrary, that he is even persecuted. " What they are doing as a country is to hide the coronavirus cure, because it is cheap and because it destroys the enrichment system with the pain of others. It is a crime against humanity. Instead of rewarding the Bolivian who discovered a simple cure, what they do is detract because I am a dentist. Even if a gardener discovered it, what is the problem? He was born in Bolivia and is for humanity," he says.

#Doctors take the worst part

Asked about this fact, Jorge Gómez, director of the Beni Departmental Health Service (Headquarters), indicated that the problem with Unzueta is that he prescribes four medications that can poison people if they are taken together . In addition, he prescribes as if he were a doctor since he is a dentist and does not investigate if the people he medicates have gastritis, ulcers, irritable colon or had any digestive problem in the last hours or 14 days, or if they have a basic disease.

"He gives 1 gram Azithromycin when what we deliver is 500 mg, according to national protocol. In addition, he prescribes Bacterol every 12 hours and is taking Indomethacin with Prednisone, something that is not very combinable in the medical world, "explained Gómez.

Once he recovers (he is isolated for having tested positive for Covid-19), Gómez indicated that he will rule on it. “People take it as a savior, but give them a cocktail, also knowing that many are taking ivermectin uncontrollably. It is causing this type of poisoning. This is a public health problem and if it is documented that it has caused death, it is even a legal problem, ”he said.

Ivermectin poisoning? Wow.

Finally, Gomez said are it is doctors who are bearing the brunt, because people blame them for not being able to save his family, when there are other people who are prescribed other medications.

#They recommend not self-medicate

Faced with this situation, Carmelo Merubia, vice president of the Medical College of Beni, indicated that the institution is urging the population of the department not to self-medicate, as this can lead to problems of poisoning.

In addition, through a public manifesto, the entity made it known that all drug administration is a responsibility that involves analyzing each person's unique history (baseline tables, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, age, weight, index body mass, previous medication, allergies and many others), accompanied by a control and subsequent monitoring thereof, for evaluation.

Therefore, he asked the entities in charge of the control of professional practice (Headquarters, Municipal Health Directorate, among others) to ensure that the rules are complied with, in favor of the population itself. Since it begins to have in patients who go to hospital establishments, symptoms of poisoning, allergies and liver disease, probably due to these practices, according to the second in command of the Medical College.

Despite the controversy caused by Unzueta's actions, part of the Trinidadian population approves of his work . An example of this is the support he received during a march carried out by neighbors on Thursday morning.

"Dr. Unzueta came without conditions to leave remedies and save lives, he went to each of the neighborhoods and I am very grateful because he has done it from the heart and with faith in God," said one of the mobilized people who preferred leave your name in reserve.
