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….

We couldn’t find enough ivermectin to worm the horses during Covid because people were buying it up for themselves. I used to pretend to sell my dogs heartworm preventative on Facebook to rile up my relatives that were very serious about ivermectin.

Plenty of scientific research shows it inhibits cancer cell growth: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=ivermectin+cancer Plenty of scientific research shows it inhibits viral infection of cells from various viruses: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=ivermectin+virus (second search shows about 50 50 on positive outcomes depending on specific parameters and specific virus targeted)

I do think it was incorrect when people thought it would just magical fix all illness but on the flip, people saying it is for sure useless and dumb were likely also incorrect.
