Mary has MD in her name... She's a medical doctor? And then spreading this bullshit? What the actual fuck. Revoke her license! Or charge her for posing as a real doctor, which is illegal.
I wish I loved something as much as conservatives love Ivermectin.
I love not having worms in me exactly as much as I love ivermectin, basically a miracle drug for that. They must be getting the dosage wrong tho because they've clearly got brain worms.
Colloquial silver works wonders when taken in high doses
Spoiler: it'll turn your skin blue. These idiots should be labeled like smufs
colloidal?
People that blue themselves pretty much did it on purpose. Afaik it's not permanent.
Afaik it's not permanent.
jonathan frakes telling you you're wrong for 47 seconds
Argyria worsens and builds up as exposure to silver continues, and does not resolve once exposure stops because the silver atoms cannot be removed from the skin and other tissues.
Oh my god. Fucking horse goop will not save you. Nothing will save you if you get infected. But you probably won’t be infected unless you are rubbing butts with someone who is infected because this particular strain is human transmissible but you gotta be in super close proximity to the infected.
But by all means eat horse paste and dump bleach in your eyes. /s
my coworker told me he started taking it and shat out a bunch of worms. then he tried to convince me that i was full of worms.
YES! Use your horsepaste! This one has a MUCH MUCH higher lethality.
In the US, people don't go to the doctor when they have a problem, they go as a last resort because they have to ask themselves how much it would cost.
18% of Americans haven't ever seen a doctor and 40% of Americans haven't seen one for 5 years.
A number of studies in low income communities in the south show that over 60% of people in those communities have intestinal parasites. That's just the ones we know of.
One thing we know for sure is that ivermectin is about as magic as they say it is for parasites only. It's a fantastic drug for that.
Over 60% of low income citizens would likely feel much better after getting their parasites removed from ivermectin. So what they are seeing, seems true. They could be sick from something else but get rid of a long standing comorbidity of a pariste infection, you bet they are feeling good. They just think that relief from the varied symptoms from parasite is actually something else cured.
This ivermectin religion has real miracles, it's just not the ones they think they are. This belief is entirely created because Americans don't have healthcare. That's why this belief isn't found elsewhere.
Doesn't even need to be eliminated parasites.
"I am solving the problem by taking the medicine, and I am smart because I'm using a secret medicine they don't want me to know about" causes the brain to release the good feelings chemicals which does make you feel better.
In the US, people don’t go to the doctor when they have a problem, they go as a last resort because they have to ask themselves how much it would cost.
In Estonia it's sorta the same except a visit costs nothing for the GP and 20 euros for the initial visit to a specialty doctor (subsequent visits are free).
We just don't go to the doctor because we're stubborn as fuck and "it'll heal on its own".

What the fuck? Have you a source for those numbers because they're shocking
Hmm looks like some stats I pulled were from polls, and I fell victim to people paraphrasing that around 20% of rural people not having a primary care doctor in the last few years as "not even having seen a doctor" sorry about that.
40% of Americans haven't seen a doctor in 5 years: https://studyfinds.org/americans-avoiding-the-doctor/ https://www.aarp.org/pri/topics/health/coverage-access/health-care-rural-america/?
But the limited stats on primary care and a lot of self reporting is very bad.
62% parasites infection: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.01.10.23284404v1.full
Typing in "southern united states rural primary care access" in Kagi has a lot of sad results.
You got the fucking receipts
Thank you! They are some wild numbers.
I haven't seen a doctor in at least a decade and a half, when my parents took me to checkups as a child. I'm very lucky to be healthy, and am in the gym 3-5 days a week to keep my streak going as long as possible.
However, I'm calling bullshit on this:
A number of studies in low income communities in the south show that over 60% of people in those communities have intestinal parasites. That’s just the ones we know of.
That sounds insane to me. 60% is a motherfucking epidemic. Where's the source for these studies???
It's extremely common in Africa. My ex who was Zulu hated that you couldn't get deworming here. Ignore the fact that in Ontario you aren't getting worms. She brought her misconceptions that KZN is like here.
Wait. The US has 300 Million people. If 30% die from the combination of deadly virus and insane politics, 210 million are left. Right?
Why are these shitheads not dead already?!
What's the thing with ivermectin? Do they own shares from the manufacturers or something?
Early laboratory research indicated that ivermectin could kill the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but this was later found to require, in many cases, toxic doses far exceeding those approved for humans. Antivaxxers latched onto this and ran with it, spreading the misinformation far and wide.

IMO, this is one of the consequences of not having universal health insurance that isn't talked about enough. If the bar for going to the doctor is "about to lose a limb from infection", then people become vulnerable to pseudo-scientific garbage, simply because they hardly ever receive advice from actual medical professionals.
Many of my fellow Canadians fell for that shit, and they have free access to doctors.
(Not all of them, because our healthcare system is weirdly understaffed, but many of them)
Great point. Hard to trust doctors when it’s $500 to not find anything over and over and over and over.
This is one my comment talking point. When people have to think about "can I afford this?" anytime they need to goto the doctor, then they'll only go when it's serious. But they are not qualified medical professionals to decide what needs medical attention or not. So they seek advice from other people, past experiences and Internet and we have this problem.
Honestly, it shouldn't cost that much to just goto a doctor's office and return. We don't need MD for everything, have other professional people there that are qualified enough to tell you when something doesn't need attention, or simple solutions. Maybe just cleaning a scrap, or giving you a brace for minor sprain, all those without having to see MD.
