Coronavirus: Ivermectin

In this episode, host Angie Gust, talks about the potential of ivermectin as a treatment for coronavirus.  A small trial found that among those who had mild or moderate coronavirus disease, those who absorbed a higher concentration of ivermectin had a better viral elimination. If ivermectin is not available to you and you want to try something similar, you can consider taking humic or fulvic acid. Humic acid, like ivermectin, has many antiviral properties and fulvic acid can help create a stronger immune system. Regarding the environment, in his excellent book, "A Life on Our Planet", David Attenborough talks about all of the changes that have occurred on our planet during his 95 year lifetime. His says the key to our and our planet's survival is increasing biodiversity.  In just his one lifetime, the percentage of wilderness has declined drastically, from 66% to 35%.
