Have read everything on ivermectin over the past 4 years, it was the pivotal evidence that showed me that the health system priority is not about our health. From there is just got much worse.
Phillip this is for you........ they cannot use a treatment however effective that can be taken as and when needed. I know this is speculation, but Im pretty sure that what they wanted was a buisness model approach, where everyone was subscribed for their annual/3 month doses, just like is done with cattle, any alternative approach, would just give a reason to people to not subscribe.
Im sure there would be mant reasons our governments would find this an asset, but tracking peoples movements would be high on my list, especially if they were unable to participate in normal life without a valid health certificate, all tied to your CBDC money of course.
By August-September of 2021 one of the greatest public health achievements in history was realized in Uttar Pradesh. The significance of this achievement cannot be overstated given that one of history’s most highly contagious, aerosol-transmitted viruses had essentially disappeared from within the borders of a massive Indian state of 231 million people.
In April 2021, due to returning temporary workers, Uttar Pradesh, a state in India with 230 million people, reached a peak of 310,783 cases of Covid-19.
On May 5, 2021 2000 government “Rapid Response Teams” started an intense campaign to test, track and treat. These teams had been trained and coordinated by the UP government.
By June 14, there were 8986 cases, a 97% drop.
By July 2 the drop was 99%
By August 25 there were 22 new cases and no deaths
By September 12 there were 14 new cases and 34 districts were covid-free and 67 of the UPs 75 districts didn’t report a new case in 24 hours.
This was obviously due to the campaign and not to the 10% vaccine coverage.
Censorship kills. The censoring of the role of ivermectin in UP’s success constitutes a crime against humanity. The immense scope and scale of corruption amongst the world’s leading health agencies has now been equalled by global media organizations under the obscene “Trusted News Initiative.”
Excellent post. I have done extensive research on this, and you have info here, that even I didn't know. i.e... The WHO praised the program.
One of the many events that happened in India, kind of goes under the radar in terms of significance. The Indian Bar Association (IBA) sued WHO Chief Scientist Dr. Soumya Swaminathan on May 25, [2021] accusing her in a 71-point brief of causing the deaths of Indian citizens by misleading them about Ivermectin.
What I think many people don't realize about this is,.... This isn't some ambulance chaser bringing a frivolous lawsuit. This is a body of lawyers that would not take on the WHO, without the irrefutable evidence to back them up. And you just know, this legal organization documented everything, showing how effective Ivermectin has worked in Uttar Pradesh and other Indian states. Them bringing this lawsuit, is powerful evidence, that what went down in India,.... was accurate, factual, and true. More info... https://ohbaby.substack.com/p/the-ivermectin-miracle-of-uttar-pradesh
The story line of the state of Uttar Pradesh (UP) in India led by Ivermection in mid 2021 also followed the rest of India, with a small lag. Many states and many city councils issued such prescriptions with free medicine kits for people with mild symptoms and those tested positive, even if asymptomatic. I can send you a few photos of such official prescriptions, including that of State Bank of India, the country’s largest bank with over 50000 branches. Millions were taking private treatments, with many doctors adding Montelukast to the protocol. It was a massive, rapid shift to early treatment protocols with these classical medicines that led to a total change in the picture. When the delta wave began dieing in late summer 2021, the vaccination coverage was about 30%. This was a victory for the classical clinical sense. But there are few other highlights about this scenario which miss the attention among international followers of the story.
1. The medicinal credit should not just go to Ivermectin only, but to a host of other common respiratory drugs that were commonly employed. Among them, Azithromycin, Montelukast, Levocetrizine and a few others. Even in the UP example, there was this doxycycline. We must know that every one of them is also additionally part antiviral. Thus a combination would provide full anti viral fire power. A mix of medicines multiple mechanisms of work.
2. When such early combinations prevent any significant viral load build up, the gate to the auto immune phase is closed automatically. Hospitalisations and death toll plummet.
3. The infected individual, now under such early medicinal care, is no longer a transmitter in his family setting. Multiplied over thousands and thousands of households, this halts the spread in the society, precisely the story told earlier. The increase in asymptomatic exposure also improves natural immunity in the population, a big bonus.
EXCELLENT PRESENTATION - Uttar Pradesh - they did it all right. And today they try to broom it under the table because authorities were "bought" again. Corruption cannot change the success of the past - millions of lifes were saved but corruption tries to stop the growth of this remedy formula . . . .India, Modi quo vadis ? But there are many other success stories like this (Whats the name of the neighboring island north of Australia, where they had foe other medical reasons IVM regimen going on ? Papa N. Guinea ? .....and as a result they did not experience the waves as southern neighbor Australia did, Hondurras, parts of Mexico .....and even some heart surgeons in Switzerland took it when they became ill, or some physicians in a country I cannot name here . . . . IT WORKS - end of story !
I believe we will hear more on IVM, Methylen Blue and others in the future not in the context of C19, especially in the time of tribulations as I feel has started now . . . . THANK YOU PHILIP for your restless efforts to inform & educate us on medicine as the "official medical community" fails bitterly on that.
The critics that say, "The fall off is irrelevant, it would have happened anyway." Are by making this statement to discredit the Ivermectin/Vit D treatment regimen are at the same time discredting the use of the Covid-19 vaccine
The most important nutritional deficiency is vitamin D3, which can't be fixed with food, since no food - fortified or not - has more than a trace of it. UV-B light on ideally white skin can create plenty of it, but this is not generally available all year round to people who live far from the equator. UV-B damages DNA, so raising the risk of skin cancer.
Please see the research on 25-hydroxyvitamin D (made in the liver from vitamin D3) and the immune system, cited and discussed at: https://vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/. This page begins with recommendations from New Jersey based Professor of Medicine Sunil Wimalawansa on how much vitamin D3 to take, as ratios of body weight, with higher ratios for those suffering from obesity. These are Prof. Wimalawansa's recently slightly simplified version of the recommendations in his 2022 article in Nutrients: https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/14/14/2997. This will attain at least the 50 ng/mL 125 nmol/L level of circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D the immune system needs to function properly. This is higher than can be attained with the very small government-approved supplemental intake quantities of vitamin D3, which at best can attain about the 20 ng/mL 50 nmol/L level which the kidneys need to regulate calcium-phosphate-bone metabolism.
When Prof THOMAS BORODY repurposed this and then PROVED it in combination with ZINC and antibiotics the principal mechanism of why it WORKS was explained and cannot be disputed. $$$$ for ban by pharma.
"Ivermectin - The drug that never seems to go away!"
Of course not,... it's that safe and effective! Dr. McMillan is not strongly against it,.. nor strongly for it. Really? After all this time and evidence,.... sitting on the fence is an indictment against you as a medical professional.
Thanks for your reply. Just wish you could be more pointed and consistent. I am seeing too many professionals waffling for fear of the censors, funding, what-have-you. I know its a difficult situation you're in, but still....
1. In UP they weren't highly vaxxed (20pc) and in May 2021 were given package (with Ivc'tin/Zinc/Vit D) and deaths stopped dramatically and stayed down.... but a few months later, are you saying that, the population of UP had a mass vax programme up to 90pc?
2.The first act of beneficial corporate lateral thinking was later replaced by different commanders?
3. Didn't Dr.Shankara Chetty convince you about the benefits of Ivc'tin then? He convinced me! Could you tell us more about how he administered doses and in what combination with other drugs?
4. It is difficult to extrapolate deaths due to Covid from deaths due to the worst effects of the vaccines; I always read this into your general analyses, but the previous commentator gives the link to the Gov website where Ivc'tin is overtly decried which is a fairly good sign that our Gov't isn't trying to cure us from Covid itself or even to prevent us from getting it. Hmmm....
Vaccines were never able to stop transmission (spread) or infection. So it is irrelevant how many were vaccinated or not. And as shown in the abundant evidence, they cause more harm, than any possible benefit they may provide.
In India, shortly after the miracle in UP, the government discontinued recommending Ivermectin. Why? They began to developed their own vaccines. And what good would they be, it there was no pandemic due to Ivermectin. More info,... https://ohbaby.substack.com/p/the-ivermectin-miracle-of-uttar-pradesh
India was double vaccinated to about 85% plus by end 2021. Almost exclusively AZ product made in India itself. That was a massive vaccination effort. Yes, there were a couple of other products being developed later in 2021, but in early 2022, the push for vaccinations, booster shots, literally fizzled out. It was no longer a lime light attracting proposition officially. Eventually not more than 20% got the third shot through 2022. This vaccination could not prevent a short burst of Omicron in early 2022, but this did not cause any serious illness, hospitalisations or mortality. People knew about early treatments and the experience of handling delta earlier was there. Omicron disappeared as quickly as it surged earlier. Not sure, but I think here Ivermectin was not used extensively. Normal URT medicines were adequate. Covid has disappeared from our midst since about 2 years now.
Your missing the point. Ivermectin was used prophylactically. That's its remarkable benefit. It prevents infection. Not Azithromycin, Montelukast, Levocetrizine, or doxycycline, have this benefit. Ivermectin single handily stopped the pandemic. Not those other drugs nor natural immunity, nor the vaccines. Coronaviruses mutate so very quickly, that even our natural immunity, doesn't recognize it. Hence breakthrough infections. And vaccines are based on old spikes that have no resemblance to what is circulating. It's been known for a long time, way before the pandemic, there can be no effective vaccine for a coronavirus. People were in such fear, critical thinking went out the window. Prophylactics, and only prophylactics (Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine) can protect you from infection and thus preventing transmission.... https://ohbaby.substack.com/p/why-everyone-should-have-ivermectin
I am not sure Dr that Vit D will have any significant impact if one is getting medications for a week or 10 days to get out of the viral phase. In prophylactic interventions ( like the UP state case) or in long Covid treatments, it could be useful because of the longer duration of the medication, often weeks long. Also Vit D deficiency is a population level issue in the Northern hemisphere and not in the sunshine drenched countries of Global South. Also, I defer with ohbaby below. In any public health crisis, normally known or new infections driven, the priority should be to treat the infected with medicines for the symptoms and disease. Not addressing only the deficiency issues like vit D. They are useful as supporting intervention.
D3 deficiency was a huge reason why this virus became the monster it was. Everyone in critical care units, with very few exceptions, was D3 deficient.
Correcting insufficiencies should be first on the list when dealing with any public health crisis. Hell, it should be a priority, crisis or not to maintain good health.
The UP prophylactic operation was massive in scale and it would have been difficult to extend it fully and quickly to this large, often unwieldy country. So it made sense, the switch to early therapeutic option with a set of URT medicines, targeting only those infected in a household. On a population level, this was a more easily handled. Both interventions provided the same net biological benefit. Not allowing viral load build up in a family setting to be able to prevent transmission. Over thousands of households, the spread in the society halts. One must also recognise that in both cases, people in proximity must have been infected asymptomatically. This provides them natural immunity ( from the running variant, unlike the vaccines primed for older variants) and scaled upto population level, it is herd immunity. Understanding this sequence of clinical events from a simple therapeutic intervention was not rocket science.
You are right and I am aware. UP was perhaps the only state that formally used prophylactic Ivermectin, given the return influx of migrant workers. Many experts suggested it for the whole country in the early delta surge. But then, the state too used a therapeutic combination of Ivermectin and Doxycycline for the initial days of the infected. Medicinally that is the only situation, prophylactic use, where Ivermectin will work alone in low doses and perhaps with asymptomatic people also. They are low viral load situations. When symptoms become more prominent, indicating increased viral load, Ivermectin needs to be combined with the other few I mentioned. So the rest of India shifted quickly into such therapeutic intervention of the infected and with thousands and thousands of private doctors joining in, the intervention was massive and intense. It is not just the state of UP, but almost the whole country thus quickly lobbed off the virus. That is the outcome of this very correct therapeutic intervention. That is why I say that the medicinal credit must be shared among these molecules, with probably a larger share for Ivermectin. In fact, the UP experience was not widely circulated in India itself, only from some of you I know this background. But I am sure this dust will settle down in time and this experience will rightly adorn medicinal text books in future.
From Dr. Chetty’s conversations with Dr. McMillan one could not get to know the dosages of various medicines he used including steroids. Qualitatively, the discussions were informative. I can recall his only one reference to Ivermectin was his first conversation in April 2021 (?). According to him then, the second phase was hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Severe allergy condition. The clogged lungs with dead cell debris was very similar to what he has seen in filarial pneumonia. From that experience, he said then that Ivermectin can clear the debris in the lungs in that phase, but also felt that Diethyl Carbamazine Citrate ( DCC) is a better option. It is not clear how much of practical experience he gained on this with his patients. Almost his entire cohort of 14000 cohort of covid patients in these years appear to have been treated in the viral phase itself or in the early stages of the second phase where he used steroids like methyl prednisone or non steroids like Azathioprine. Yet his clinical judgment bears lot of weight.
Ivermectin is also a good early treatment remedy. But that pales in comparison in its ability as a prophylactic. It has an 85% risk reduction as a prophylactic. There is not a drug on the market for any condition, that can claim that amount of risk reduction. Period... https://c19ivm.org/meta.html
I entirely agree. How one wishes that Ivermectin was given prophylactically to the entire world population in the early weeks in 2020, at least starting with countries facing waves ! The pandemic would have never made it. Did not this knowledge exist then ? The UP experience came a year later and it was a small geography. At least in six months, the clues and leads should have become clear - Africa, Papua New Guinea - societies that were using Ivermectin on population scale for their other scourges. But by then, vested interests had gained hold.
I thank you for this wonderful reference, of Dr. Chetty’s paper. I am seeing it first time. Worth preserving for one with continuing interest in this subject. As a bonus, I got his mail address, after nearly three years of waiting. I want to get in touch with him in a small way, as he will under immense contacts pressure. I have also written pages and pages over this subject, mostly by way of letters to a host of news papers and mails to some researchers and experts from my limited internet search capabilities. Only in 2023, I began participating profusely in conversations like these comments and it is such a great expereince, now I can interact with dozens of people like you, experts and commoners alike. Thanks once again.
In the below video is a US lady who took part in a US trial for AZ. She suffered neurological injuries. She says she was selected by the US NIH - National Institute of Health that Fauci was leading at the time - for testing treatment. They treated her, along with 22 others, and it was successful.
She has tried to get the NIH to release the treatment. They asked her to keep it quiet and not to go to the press. She does not say what the treatment she received was. Perhaps she does not know. They told her that early treatment is vital and that it involves dampening down inflammation.
Not connected to Ivermectin, I would like to make one observation for the kind assessment of Dr. McMillan and other physicians following his presentations. Also many of you conversing with one another here. If the cough/sore throat/cold symptoms are of similar intensity, how about the nature of response to similar treatments of URT medications ( e.g.Azithromycin, Levocetrizine, dextromethorphan lozenges and oxymetazoline nasal sprays) between a common cold infection and Covid 19 ( viral phase only). Do they differ in their time line to resolve almost fully ? Personally, I had Omicron only once in Jan 2022, and in less than ten days, the relief was near total. Of course, lot more experience with common cold and I can recall that it takes 15-20 days for a total relief, with particularly the cold symptoms subsiding only slowly. Need not be a surprise, as the two viruses are different, even if from the same family (?). The allergic response of the body too must be different to the two viruses. Does the known biology of these two situations bear this out ? First thing, of course, is to know the experiences of many of you and many known to you. Please share them.
Why so much money spent study a safe and low cost drug? Why take away doctors licenses if they prescibe ivermectin, when no harm or complaints?
I gather you are being sarcastic with your questions. But if not, your answers are here... https://ohbaby.substack.com/p/why-everyone-should-have-ivermectin

Why isn’t Uttar Pradesh’s Victory known?
By August-September of 2021 one of the greatest public health achievements in history was realized in Uttar Pradesh. The significance of this achievement cannot be overstated given that one of history’s most highly contagious, aerosol-transmitted viruses had essentially disappeared from within the borders of a massive Indian state of 231 million people.
In April 2021, due to returning temporary workers, Uttar Pradesh, a state in India with 230 million people, reached a peak of 310,783 cases of Covid-19.
On May 5, 2021 2000 government “Rapid Response Teams” started an intense campaign to test, track and treat. These teams had been trained and coordinated by the UP government.
By June 14, there were 8986 cases, a 97% drop.
By July 2 the drop was 99%
By August 25 there were 22 new cases and no deaths
By September 12 there were 14 new cases and 34 districts were covid-free and 67 of the UPs 75 districts didn’t report a new case in 24 hours.
This was obviously due to the campaign and not to the 10% vaccine coverage.
The WHO, who had done very little of it, praised the program: https://www.who.int/india/news/feature-stories/detail/uttar-pradesh-going-the-last-mile-to-stop-covid-19 but suppressed the vital details, shown here:

Thanks for the link to the Garg article https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1876034122000296, documenting the use of 1.5 mg 60,000 IU vitamin D3 a week for 8 weeks in Uttar Pradesh, India, in April 2021. The authors were critical of this!
The most important nutritional deficiency is vitamin D3, which can't be fixed with food, since no food - fortified or not - has more than a trace of it.

Don't forget the combination with Vitamin D augmented the effect of both.
I am not sure Dr that Vit D will have any significant impact if one is getting medications for a week or 10 days to get out of the viral phase. In prophylactic interventions ( like the UP state case) or in long Covid treatments, it could be useful because of the longer duration of the medication, often weeks long. Also Vit D deficiency is a population level issue in the Northern hemisphere and not in the sunshine drenched countries of Global South. Also, I defer with ohbaby below. In any public health crisis, normally known or new infections driven, the priority should be to treat the infected with medicines for the symptoms and disease. Not addressing only the deficiency issues like vit D. They are useful as supporting intervention.
In April, 2020,... I wrote two articles on how D3 can help us fight COVID. And it was nice to see subsequent research bear this out....

D3 deficiency was a huge reason why this virus became the monster it was. Everyone in critical care units, with very few exceptions, was D3 deficient.
Correcting insufficiencies should be first on the list when dealing with any public health crisis. Hell, it should be a priority, crisis or not to maintain good health.
The UP prophylactic operation was massive in scale and it would have been difficult to extend it fully and quickly to this large, often unwieldy country. So it made sense, the switch to early therapeutic option with a set of URT medicines, targeting only those infected in a household. On a population level, this was a more easily handled. Both interventions provided the same net biological benefit. Not allowing viral load build up in a family setting to be able to prevent transmission. Over thousands of households, the spread in the society halts. One must also recognise that in both cases, people in proximity must have been infected asymptomatically. This provides them natural immunity ( from the running variant, unlike the vaccines primed for older variants) and scaled upto population level, it is herd immunity. Understanding this sequence of clinical events from a simple therapeutic intervention was not rocket science.
You are right and I am aware. UP was perhaps the only state that formally used prophylactic Ivermectin, given the return influx of migrant workers. Many experts suggested it for the whole country in the early delta surge. But then, the state too used a therapeutic combination of Ivermectin and Doxycycline for the initial days of the infected. Medicinally that is the only situation, prophylactic use, where Ivermectin will work alone in low doses and perhaps with asymptomatic people also. They are low viral load situations. When symptoms become more prominent, indicating increased viral load, Ivermectin needs to be combined with the other few I mentioned. So the rest of India shifted quickly into such therapeutic intervention of the infected and with thousands and thousands of private doctors joining in, the intervention was massive and intense. It is not just the state of UP, but almost the whole country thus quickly lobbed off the virus. That is the outcome of this very correct therapeutic intervention. That is why I say that the medicinal credit must be shared among these molecules, with probably a larger share for Ivermectin. In fact, the UP experience was not widely circulated in India itself, only from some of you I know this background. But I am sure this dust will settle down in time and this experience will rightly adorn medicinal text books in future.
From Dr. Chetty’s conversations with Dr. McMillan one could not get to know the dosages of various medicines he used including steroids. Qualitatively, the discussions were informative. I can recall his only one reference to Ivermectin was his first conversation in April 2021 (?). According to him then, the second phase was hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Severe allergy condition. The clogged lungs with dead cell debris was very similar to what he has seen in filarial pneumonia. From that experience, he said then that Ivermectin can clear the debris in the lungs in that phase, but also felt that Diethyl Carbamazine Citrate ( DCC) is a better option. It is not clear how much of practical experience he gained on this with his patients. Almost his entire cohort of 14000 cohort of covid patients in these years appear to have been treated in the viral phase itself or in the early stages of the second phase where he used steroids like methyl prednisone or non steroids like Azathioprine. Yet his clinical judgment bears lot of weight.
Thank you for the comprehensive and informative reply. I am most grateful.
Dr. Chetty’s claim to fame exists in his early work, focusing on hypersensitivity... https://ia902509.us.archive.org/4/items/20-pdf-web-articles-archived-4-22-22/4pg-7-3-21-chetty-elucidating-the-pathogenesis-and-rx-of-covid-reveals-a-missing-element-.pdf
Ivermectin is also a good early treatment remedy. But that pales in comparison in its ability as a prophylactic. It has an 85% risk reduction as a prophylactic. There is not a drug on the market for any condition, that can claim that amount of risk reduction. Period... https://c19ivm.org/meta.html
I entirely agree. How one wishes that Ivermectin was given prophylactically to the entire world population in the early weeks in 2020, at least starting with countries facing waves ! The pandemic would have never made it. Did not this knowledge exist then ? The UP experience came a year later and it was a small geography. At least in six months, the clues and leads should have become clear - Africa, Papua New Guinea - societies that were using Ivermectin on population scale for their other scourges. But by then, vested interests had gained hold.

I thank you for this wonderful reference, of Dr. Chetty’s paper. I am seeing it first time. Worth preserving for one with continuing interest in this subject. As a bonus, I got his mail address, after nearly three years of waiting. I want to get in touch with him in a small way, as he will under immense contacts pressure. I have also written pages and pages over this subject, mostly by way of letters to a host of news papers and mails to some researchers and experts from my limited internet search capabilities. Only in 2023, I began participating profusely in conversations like these comments and it is such a great expereince, now I can interact with dozens of people like you, experts and commoners alike. Thanks once again.
You're welcome. I would also check out his interview here with Dr. McMillan,...
https://drphilipmcmillan.substack.com/p/full-long-covid-treatment-discussion
He discusses his paper and unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be a long term solution.
Always a pleasure to interact with you Professor.
In the below video is a US lady who took part in a US trial for AZ. She suffered neurological injuries. She says she was selected by the US NIH - National Institute of Health that Fauci was leading at the time - for testing treatment. They treated her, along with 22 others, and it was successful.
She has tried to get the NIH to release the treatment. They asked her to keep it quiet and not to go to the press. She does not say what the treatment she received was. Perhaps she does not know. They told her that early treatment is vital and that it involves dampening down inflammation.

Not connected to Ivermectin, I would like to make one observation for the kind assessment of Dr. McMillan and other physicians following his presentations. Also many of you conversing with one another here. If the cough/sore throat/cold symptoms are of similar intensity, how about the nature of response to similar treatments of URT medications ( e.g.Azithromycin, Levocetrizine, dextromethorphan lozenges and oxymetazoline nasal sprays) between a common cold infection and Covid 19 ( viral phase only). Do they differ in their time line to resolve almost fully ? Personally, I had Omicron only once in Jan 2022, and in less than ten days, the relief was near total. Of course, lot more experience with common cold and I can recall that it takes 15-20 days for a total relief, with particularly the cold symptoms subsiding only slowly. Need not be a surprise, as the two viruses are different, even if from the same family (?). The allergic response of the body too must be different to the two viruses. Does the known biology of these two situations bear this out ? First thing, of course, is to know the experiences of many of you and many known to you. Please share them.
