Of the two famous horse drugs, why on earth did people gravitate towards ivermectin and not ketamine? Truly, we live in a dork world
I have lost some family to ketamine. They are doing both don’t you worry.
I’m sincerely sorry for your loss. Drugs are a seductress, especially when things are so tough. I hope you’re doing okay mate.
Oh I’m fine. I don’t even drink anymore. I take the occasional edible, but because so many in my family struggle with or struggled with addiction I am careful not to take edibles too often and especially not if I am overly emotional in any way.
Nice for a fun day but bad to rely on to stay happy.
Because Ivermectin is far easier to get, and perversely, they don’t want ketamine because it actually does shit to you.
Because the rich fucks like Muskler want that precious ketamine all for themselves.
Hasn’t affected street prices, and I’d honestly rather be snorting that shit in a basement with my mates no matter what it’s cut with than doing it in a bajillion USDollar penthouse alone like Musk does, the fuckin dork
Local dentists hate this one weird trick! (So does the FDA)
Guy might have worms or parasites. There were some studies that showed a weak correlation between ivermectin and better COVID-19 outcomes, but it turns out that only studies from third world countries showed even that weak effect, and yeah if you get rid of other problems like parasites, the body can fight off COVID-19 better.
Or maybe it’s totally made up bullshit?
All it’s missing is “and then everyone clapped” at the end.
Oh totally that’s the more likely explanation. My point is that even steelmanning the argument, it’s still wrong.
I read one story of a guy who swore Ivermectin saved him from Covid. He’s completely cured now thanks to horse dewormer with no lasting effects.
(Except for losing half his lung capacity). But it prevented all bad covid issues, flawlessly perfect outcome!
The rural South gobbles that shit up.
I’ve literally talked to doctors and nurses here who believe this nonsense. Not just a few. It’s a very common sentiment.
What do you do when you don’t feel like you’re safe in their hands? Get into herbal/folk/witchcraft remedies?
Go to a civilised country
Maybe these people all have parasites?
While fermented garlic and honey are actually pretty good for you, (probiotics from fermentation, certain anti-microbial properties of both garlic and honey, etc), it’s not actual medicine.
Home remedies are great at making you feel a bit better while your body fights something off but they’re no substitute for medicine to actually help your body fight off your infection.
I’ll swear by hot tea, honey, lemon with a splash of some kind of liquor and some chicken noodle soup when dealing with a sore throat but I’m also taking cough medicine to actually manage the symptoms in addition to those home remedies.
Mint for nausea
Honey for soar throat
Antibiotics for fucking infections
If you believe in the medieval theory of toothaches being caused by tiny worms, it sounds a lot more reasonable.
I mean, they’re not wrong. It’s just the worms are REALLY tiny.
Everything is worms if you believe in string theory
@BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world you consistently bring us top notch stupidity, and for that I am extremely grateful.
You are most welcome. I can’t believe how stupid these people are.
There are people on nextdoor that constantly ask where they can source ivermectin, and raw milk has been popping up lately too. I just don’t get it.
They want to feel smart so they seek out esoteric “knowledge”.
This basically sums up a lot of right-wing BS. They want the drama and excitement of plain-truth facts being incorrect in the face of exciting convoluted conspiracy theories that nobody can prove.
Because the stuff that’s actually exciting and unknown, flies miles above their heads.
Mix up a 5 gallon bucket of malt powder and whatever liquids you have laying around the garage and sell it to them as "stabilized " raw milk, no refrigeration required.
It’s just the gene pool cleaning itself
Sounds like something the AI cookbook would give you.
Alternatively you could just go to the dentist… oh wait… no, you probably can’t
Forget the ivermectin. Honey and garlic sounds like it might be kinda good. Ever try hot honey on, say, pizza? Yeah.
Yeah was gonna say, honey and garlic is probably a pretty good naturopathic concoction. Friend of mine used to brew a chilli tea for colds, sounds like garlic honey would work well with it
I’ll pass on the ivermectin though
