From what I've heard, hospital doctors don't try the alternative meds until the person is basically at the end of the line. They need to be administered at the onset of sickness.
And it's not given to healthy folks as a preventative. It's given as soon as they find out they're sick with Covid.
Funny that you don't mind the side effects from the jab affecting hundreds of thousands of people but you're worried about the possible side effects from alternative medications for Covid.
Has anyone heard of people taking, say, ivermevtin, for Covid and having a bad side effect?
Ivermectin is undergoing trials. First results indicate that it is harmless in human doses but harmful if animal variants are used. There is also initial evidence to suggest that it is useless.
Go to any Chemist (US drug store) and there will be a wall or three devoted to vitamins and minerals. One or two have been researched to demonstrate their efficacy. In Australia, they all have a declaration that they are only to overcome vitamin deficiencies. Of course, that that is fine print that is swamped by exaggerated claims. One or two manufacturers have been fined for making false claims. So they are more inclined to include phrases such as "may help" instead of snake oil type declarations that were commonplace.
People are used to taking vitamins, in spite of there being little evidence that they actually do any good for the average person. When someone starts spouting the virtues of Acacia berries, Cranberry juice and such, there is always a large number of people who swallow the baseless claims. Yes, terrible pun I know.
I was advised by my Urologist to drink Cranberry juice. It's expensive. It does not taste that good. And it did absolutely nothing to help. The latest research indicates that Cranberry juice has no practical protection against UTI's. I can confirm that experientially. It should work in theory. it does not in practice.
Ivermectin has yet to complete clinical trials. Initial research and anecdotal evidence suggests that it is useless against COVID or COVID's effects on the human body.
