Ivermectin shows ‘antiviral effect’ against COVID, Japanese company says

Japanese trading and pharmaceuticals company Kowa Co Ltd on Monday said that anti-parasite drug ivermectin showed an "antiviral effect" against Omicron and other coronavirus variants in joint non-clinical research. The company, which has been working with Tokyo's Kitasato University on testing...

Been a while since I updated the figures in the thread title. Maybe about a month passed. But the jump in cases was significant due to Omicron, I guess.
Went from 52,510,976 to 75,578,076 US cases
and 833,029 to 907,190 US deaths

I'm still feel that the Worldometer figures are really high, but that's what we've been going with since the thread was started.

That's how it should be spelled because that's how everyone pronounces it.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I always get my medical opinions from Gweneth Paltrow. I mean, if you can't trust Gweneth, who can you trust? I know, some of you are going to say Joe Rogan, but I'd go with Gwenth over Joe every day of the week.

Have 3 workers (out of 4) at one location test Positive over the weekend.
1 was vaxxed, but only symptoms were coughing and stopped up nose.
2 were unvaxxed, one said he was shooting out of both ends, one had the really bad body aches and 102 fever.
They are really lucky the company decided to bring back the Covid extra sick time.

But you completely ignored the fact I posted this one as well. The Buchinger Wiljemi Clinic is recognized as one of the world leaders in fasting for the benefits of health and longevity. I used Paltrow's experience as an example of somebody well known/famous to show examples.

Also, I might add that fasting is a wonderful way to help bring sustainability to our current trends of over consumption. If more people used fasting as a part of their everyday life we would consume tremendously fewer resources as a whole.

Fasting has worked wonders for me, not only have I completely eradicated my long covid issues, but I have gotten a lot healthier(lower blood pressure, all metabolic markers improved, and more energy and focus.) All without taking a single big pharma pill.

People tend to attack fasting because they have a vested interests in the medical industry which doesn't want people to do anything preventative that doesn't make it money.

I'm not ignoring anything. I don't have an opinion one way or the other on if fasting is a good idea for long COVID or not and haven't given an opinion on it. Apparently it worked for you and that's great. I'm happy that you got some relief. Apparently others think that it can be harmful for some people to do fasting and that your situation was the exception rather than the rule. I have no idea if fasting for Long COVID is a good idea and I'm not sure I'm qualified to give an opinion on it. Although I will say that I don't think money is the motivator for those against fasting because, as pointed out by Athreal, there is no money to be made on the other side since there are no expensive treatments or drugs that I am aware of for treating long COVID. So, either way, nobody is making money. Except apparently for Gweneth Paltrow.

That being said, I do know that Gweneth Paltrow is not qualified to give an opinion on it. Nor is Joe Rogan for that matter. But, it seems that Gweneth fancies herself some sort of lifestyle/medical/nutrition/life coach guru. And, I find that funny since I have never thought she was particularly smart or the type of person I would trust about anything other than how to make a bunch of money and have a big career as an actor with a mediocre amount of talent and no knowledge of science or medicine.

I don't know if you've peeked in on this thread. I have found it fascinating and highly recommend it.

The Science of Fasting

Happened upon this documentary and have worked my way up to being able to fast for 2-3 days out of the week. Initially, it was difficult to get past those 'hunger pangs', but that gets easier as you learn to just fill yourself with water until they go away.I do see the higher energy, better...

None of us are qualified to speak to fasting and long covid, but I wouldn't be surprised that it positively affects it just going by my experiences and further research into it.

I've taken a quick look at it once and I think it's an interesting topic. I just find it funny when Gweneth Paltrow speaks as an authority about anything. And I probably would have left out the video from Gweneth that promoted stuff she is selling.

No money in it? Doctors are having a field day throwing medications at long covid having NO idea what they are doing. I didn't even have high cholesterol and one doctor told me to get on statins as a way to help with long covid. In the long covid subreddit there are post after post by people who are on numerous medications prescribed by their doctors trying to combat symptoms with many of them still dealing with the issues, but desperate to find some relief. There is most definitely money being made, and the last thing they want to see are natural remedies. Also, I am not the exception, there are countless people on reddit and other forums across the internet talking about how fasting has helped them deal with their long covid issues.


Why do you keep bringing up Joe Rogan by the way, I didn't even mention him.

Dude, I'm not going to argue with you about whether fasting is a good idea to treat long COVID or not. I don't know the answer to that and nothing you say is going to convince me otherwise. Personally, I seek medical advice from doctors. If their advice works, great. If not, I look for other doctors who can help. I just don't look to YouTube, the internet, famous people, or random guys on the internet to give me medical advice. As I said, if fasting worked for you and you got relief that's great and I'm happy for you.


As far as Rogan, I didn't "keep brining him up." I brought him up once and I was making a joke. Rogan is another unqualified celebrity who fancies himself an expert in pretty much so everything including medicine. Much like Gweneth Paltrow.
