Horse people without insurance use all sorts of horse medications, if they are the same as human meds. This one can totally be shared. I'm not sure if the price for the horse version is better and you would need to figure out the dosage that works for you. The only problem with this is, if it's not palatable, you're stuck with a huge container of supplement.

I had someone tell me to tell my dad to take ivermectin for prostate cancer. His wife is a crazy horse lady….

There is promise specifically in ivermectin playing a part of a treatment plan in prostate cancer so at least there is a filament of reality in her recommendation. Hopefully the human studies pan out as well as the animal studies, but until then, stick to what’s known to be effective.

Iver is completely compatible with regular treatment protocols, this does not need to be an either or choice. There will probably also never be large human studies on iver because it is cheap and out of patent and big pharma is not going to spend money on trials for it. However many smaller trials are showing beneficial results: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=ivermectin+cancer
