Have heard similar things from friends.
In my experience, ivermectin works extremely well when taken at the first sign of illness. 6mg twice a day for 5+ days. You can often still tell your body is fighting something, but you will generally feel pretty good the whole time.
Beer wrecks my gut. Ivermectin truly seems to improve it. I definitely prefer the latter.
Buy-pharma.md is where I got mine. Have just been halving 12mg pills because they were previously the better deal.
