I understand about the reluctance to order from India or elsewhere. So far people I know have had success. My friends have gotten ivermectin from India, in fact one got her order this week and she placed the order 10/22. I placed an order w/the same place recently. I take 250mg. of quercetin daily as does my husband. Here's a link for the Florida Covid Summit from 6 November. Toward the end there is a question/answer time and one doctor, Bruce Boros came to the microphone and said he's taken ivermectin prophylactically for 16 months and has never felt better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOAdIYxvSYU&t=279s This is SEVEN hours! but you can skim through it and find the speakers you want to hear. It is really worth watching.

yep, I got some and sampled and I really think I feel better for it ! Like, nothing to do with covid. There's no covid here. Perhaps I had some internal parasites and it's killed them? Perhaps it's good for us in other ways?

Well, it's one of the safest medicines out there, so it's not going to hurt you! I saw another commenter some weeks ago who used Indiamart. It looked kind of intimidating to me so I went with buyivermectin.us which is what someone else used. People are REALLY getting shafted by pharmacies in the US. That's if they can get it filled too. I've used GoodRx for what we got, but CVS filled part of the script and then shafted me for the rest - $19 for 8 3mg. pills! I bought 100 12mg. pills at the site above for $80 plus $30 shipping.

Thanks!! I will listen to that in the office. The thing is, did your friends get IVM or something else? That is my main concern.

I have come to a conclusion regarding the medicines I need. Now I have to take the next step, try to find them. I will visit costco to see if their quercetine fits. And then, regarding IVM, you can substitute it with hidroxicloroquine, maybe be HCQ is easier here…

You might have more luck getting Bimectin (the horse paste, which is pure ivermectin & perfectly ok for humans if you make sure you adjust the dose) - that is what I did, here in Australia where IVM is also not available & they are very strict about importing drugs. Also, I got bulk Ascorbic Acid and Quercetin from ebay - these are not considered pharmaceuticals (not yet!) so there is not the same concern from Customs.

They got ivermectin. I've not looked into HCQ much. McCullough and others talk about many other drugs that can be used in place of Iv or HCQ. Zelenko used HCQ until Cuomo banned it and that's how he found quercetin. Zinc needs a mechanism to get into the cells to stop virus replication and that's how Iv, HCQ and Quercetin function. Like they all say, it's good to have a covid preparedness kit ready so if you do get infected you're not scrambling. The best thing you can do is build up your immune system and I keep hearing Dr. Ryan Cole say to avoid sugar and high fructose corn syrup - the favorites of Americans which is why 40% are obese. Vitamin D is foundational. I'd encourage you to use one protocol and stick with it as there are a bunch out there and it starts getting confusing.

Thank you all!

Yes. But I wanted to study all of them. That is how I reach the conclusion that quercetine cannot substitute IVM/HCQ if you are very sick. I will follow your advice with sugar. Vitamine D do not know how to proceed. The weather is here very nice and the sun shines a lot even in winter. I try to walk in the sun everyday but I do not know if that is enough. A test is annoying (blood test) so maybe I am taking supplements.

I don't know how to advise on Spain and Vitamin D. You should research that. We are at 41 degrees latitude and I just increased my Vit D to 6-7000IU daily. I was taking 5-6000IU. My 25-hydroxy Vit D level is 75 which is awesome. My doctor is captured by Big Pharma though and told me to stop supplementing again this year. I ignore her. My pharmacist who I trust, wants everyone at 70-80. I'm happy to pay what my insurance won't cover to know my level. Isn't it stupid though that Vit D is so foundational to one's immune system that health insurance companies won't pay for the test??!! It's because our US health system is all about SICKNESS, not WELLNESS. Okay, I'm starting to rant....but I just looked at a world map and Madrid is about the same latitude - 41, so you should be supplementing through the winter months at least. I hope that helps! 🙏

NO, keep ranting. It makes me sick to my stomach that people are literally trying to stop others from being well.

But the weather is not only about latitude. Here it is very sunny the whole year. I have to check if the winter sun is strong enough, though. But, still, taking some supplements during the winter sounds reasonable. I already have them from Costco.
