Honest, research-backed journalism on ivermectin, fenbendazole, HCQ, and your right to medical sovereignty. Updated daily.
Thousands of pregnant women have unknowingly taken ivermectin during community deworming campaigns. Here is what follow-up studies found, and why programs still exclude pregnancy.
Topical ivermectin 1% treats the bumps and pustules of rosacea by targeting Demodex mites and calming skin inflammation. In a large head-to-head trial it outperformed metronidazole cream.
A silent gut worm can turn deadly when steroids or other immunosuppressants begin. Here is how serology and stool tests compare, and when presumptive ivermectin makes sense.
Ivermectin paralyzes worms via chloride channels mammals lack, and a brain pump, P-glycoprotein, keeps it out of our nervous system. Collies lacking that pump show what happens when it fails.
A single soil microbe from Japan yielded a family of compounds that reshaped veterinary medicine and the fight against river blindness. This is the history of ivermectin, told carefully and accurately.
People heavily infected with Loa loa can suffer brain injury after ivermectin. Measuring microfilarial density first, and deferring the few at risk, has made river blindness treatment safer.
Ivermectin kills scabies mites but not their eggs, so a second dose at day 14 is timed to catch newly hatched mites before they reproduce.
Standard ivermectin doses scale with body weight, but that formula was built on lean study populations. In obesity, the math breaks down in ways worth understanding.
A landmark head-to-head trial suggests moxidectin suppresses the parasite behind river blindness longer than ivermectin, though it isn't a wholesale replacement yet.
