You are correct, it is. But many pharmaceuticals have their origin in nature but that doesn't make them natural and harmless. To patent drugs, they need to alter it to be different from the natural source.

Glad that you are taking this up! It has been heralded as the "go-to" long enough, and a more balanced view is needed. Thank you, and CHEERs! :)

Hydroxy chloroquine has problems too, some people are more sensitive then others. East Timor and Bouganville Vets will tell you as they were guinea pigs for quite a few anti malarials.

Ivermectin illustrates how truth is many-sided. If only one side becomes the perspective, then the effort that was made is wasted. Clarity is precious. I don't want to spend all my time chasing truth because manipulators complicate issues and confuse sincere people.

The body does regulate itself but the terrain needs to be in good condition which it is not in most people. Dietary habits are rarely conducive to a good terrain and we are all exposed to toxins. A patient in cytokine storm that requires hospitalization is not a candidate in the acute phase to use only acupressure or acupuncture. It can be added for sure, but acute anti-inflammatory treatment is necessary to save the patient's life. Once the patient is stabilized, then we need to optimize the terrain to activate the self healing processes. Patients who are not in such a distressing condition of course can be optimized with diet, detoxification etc.

I am under the impression that ivermectin is derived or synthesized from soil based organisms. Is this false? Appreciate the advice and your info generally.

Thanks for this, very important considering the blind and blatant pushing of this med…

PS: when it comes to "reducing inflammation"; when the body is being given "treatment" (and especially toxic pharmaceuticals), it will then be forced to stop the detox/healing-process that is giving the "symptoms". The "disappearance" of the symptoms, will then be attributed to the "treatment" "working", but all it has done, is to halt the previous cleansing (resulting in the toxins re-settling somewhere else in the body, for later purging), and also giving the body more work for later. (Which very often results in too much toxins, and the following encapsuling into tumours called "cancer"). CHEERs! :)

You are correct. However in some serious circumstances we must tame inflammation before it kills the patient. Thus, intervention is necessary in some cases to save a life.

Thanks for the reply. Not sure I agree with that, as the inflammation is not the problem, but the "signal", but here must be taken into consideration the overall situation, as well as what healing modalities are available. A "re-directing" of inflammatory impulses, away from life-threatening pathways to vital organs, could possibly be done with the use of acupressure or acupuncture techniques, much like, or similar to directing fever in a patient away from the area it is located, in order to "spread" the energies/heat. Food for thought, anyway. CHEERs! :)
