A deeper look at Ivermectin

A repost with corrections.

*****Please see changes below.

As these times of quantum dots, hydrogel filaments and more continue, I, personally will not trust anything going into my body. First let me say, that as a Naturopath, I would never put a pharmaceutical (Ivermectin) into my body unless it was absolutely necessary to save me life. I hear and see so many who are making claims that it’s a miracle drug

Michael Turner M.D.

, or that they are experimenting with it on their own bodies

Ronald’s Substack

. I believe everything has it’s place in time, but have you looked deeper at it.

I wanted to see if Ivermectin had quantum dots, or hydrogel polymers in it. So I dissolved a tablet; (if you can’t see the video, click on the title of this post)

******I am posting some changes, as I learned there is some erroneous information in this. I was accused of lying. I never do anything with deceit in my heart. Never. So the ivermectin was given to me. I didn’t see the bottle but now I have found out it was a compounded ivermectin and they all contain different ingredients. I honestly didn’t know that. I thought the drug industry was regulated that a drug name had to have the same ingredients, no matter who manufactured it. So I will add some information here, which I hope will still be understood that I am only trying to teach people about toxicity and to be really sure before you start taking a drug, or anything. Your body is precious it deserves the purest of anything you put into it.

So if you search for “Inactive ingredients in Ivermectin” This is the link that comes up:

https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=847a1dd7-d65b-4a0e-a67d-d90392059dac#:~:text=Ivermectin%20tablets%20are%20available%20as,microcrystalline%20cellulose%2C%20and%20pregelatinized%20starch

But this is for a manufacturer of Edenbridge Pharmaceuticals. Apparently the ingredients are different. So now that I know it was a compounded Ivermectin, I found this:

https://patents.google.com/patent/CN107753498A/en

The present invention relates to a kind of compound ivermectin tablet and preparation method thereof. The compound ivermectin tablet is mainly prepared by each raw material of following parts by weight：1 part of 0.05 part of ivermectin 0.01 part, 10 parts of Fenbendazole 5 part, 5 parts of praziquantel 2 part, 10 parts of disintegrant 3 part, 91 parts of filler 61 part, 3 parts of lubricant 1 part and adhesive 0.3 part.

Looking at these ingredients:

https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/praziquantel-oral-route/description/drg-20065610#:~:text=Praziquantel%20is%20used%20to%20treat,fluke)%2C%20a%20flatworm%20parasite.

“What is praziquantel drug used for?

Praziquantel is used to treat schistosomiasis, also known as snail fever or bilharzia, an infection of the urinary tract or bowels, caused by schistosoma (blood fluke), a flatworm parasite”

A safety data sheet (https://www.fishersci.com/)says this about praziquantel; The toxicological properties have not been fully investigated.

Another one (https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/drugbank/msds/DB01058.pdf?1265922736) says; Slightly hazardous in case of ingestion, of inhalation (lung irritant)

Another one (https://www.spectrumchemical.com/media/sds/P1641_AGHS.pdfIngestion) says; May be harmful if swallowed.

So, 10 parts of disintegrant. What is a disintegrant?

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2964761/#:~:text=Disintegrants%20are%20agents%20added%20to,release%20of%20the%20drug%20substance.

Disintegrants are agents added to tablet formulations to promote the break-up of the tablet into smaller fragments in an aqueous environment, thereby increasing the available surface area and promoting a more rapid release of the drug substance. In more recent years, several newer disintegrants have been developed, often called “super disintegrants.” These newer substances can be used at lower levels than conventionally used disintegrants. Three major mechanisms and factors affecting tablet disintegration are suggested as swelling, porosity and capillary action and deformation. Three major group of compounds that have been developed as superdisintegrants are modified starches, cross-linked polyvinylpyrrolidone and modified cellulose.

polyvinylpyrrolidone; vinyl, isn’t that what Dr. Ana has been warning everyone about?

https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/agricultural-and-biological-sciences/polyvinylpyrrolidone#:~:text=Polyvinylpyrrolidone%20(PVP)%2C%20commonly%20called,of%20water%20by%20its%20weight.

Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), commonly called polyvidone or povidone, is a water-soluble polymer made from the monomer N-vinylpyrrolidone [87,88]. Dry PVP is a light flaky hygroscopic powder and readily absorbs up to 40% of water by its weight.

Safety Data sheet for Polyvinylpyrrolidone Says: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/US/en/sds/SIAL/PVP40

Acute toxicity LD50 Oral - Rat - 100,000 mg/kg Remarks: Diarrhea

Another: https://www.fishersci.com/store/msds?partNumber=BP431100&productDescription=PVP+100G&vendorId=VN00033897&countryCode=US&language=en

Delayed and immediate effects as well as chronic effects from short and long-term exposure Irritation May cause skin, eye, and respiratory tract irritation

And another:

https://datasheets.scbt.com/sc-203204.pdf

Is polyvinylpyrrolidone hazardous?

PVP has been shown to cause sarcomas in rats but there is not confirmation that it is carcinogenic in human patients. [Martindale] The material may cause irritation or dermatitis in some individuals upon prolonged contact.

(how can it be carcinogenic to rats but not humans?, something doesn’t sit right with me in that statement)

91 parts filler, well what is the filler? (and it’s 91 parts, so that means it’s mostly this in the compounded formula)

https://www.americanpharmaceuticalreview.com/pfu/7964385/soids/1402488/Excipient_Search/Filler

“Fillers add bulk to products making very small active ingredient components easy for consumer to take. Examples include: lactose, sucrose, magnesium stearate, glucose, plant cellulose, calcium carbonate, and the like. And the Like? well which one?

Fillers are added to pharmaceuticals to help with the manufacturing and stabilization of these products. Fillers bind and stabilize a supplement. They do not alter or impact the effectiveness of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API).”

3 parts lubricant; https://patents.google.com/patent/CN107753498A/en

“according to the compound ivermectin tablet described in claim any one of 2-3, it is characterised in that the flavor enhancement is beef Essence and/or chicken essence；The lubricant is the one or more in magnesium stearate, talcum powder and superfine silica gel powder；It is described viscous Mixture is the one or more in sodium carboxymethylcellulose, starch slurry, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose or PVP；The preservative is pair One or more in hydroxybenzoic acid esters, butylated hydroxy anisole or dibutyl hydroxy toluene.” (tolune, REALLY!! and what is chicken essence??)

It also says: The lubricant is tristearin One or more in sour magnesium, talcum powder and superfine silica gel powder. (talc can be toxic, see below)

https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/tristearin#:~:text=An%20example%20of%20a%20triglyceride,esterified%20to%20the%20glycerol%20molecule.

An example of a triglyceride known as tristearin contains three molecules of stearic acid. These are connected to one glycerol molecule via ester linkages (Fig. 5.4). Similar structures are seen in other triglycerides, with various fatty acids esterified to the glycerol molecule.

Talc: https://www.safecosmetics.org/chemicals/talc/#:~:text=Testing%20talc%20samples%20for%20asbestos,and%20certified%20as%20asbestos%2Dfree.

Testing talc samples for asbestos is the only way to identify contamination. Two-thirds of baby powders tested in Korea contained asbestos. Generally, the only way for consumers to know if products are free of asbestos is if manufacturers use talc that is tested and certified as asbestos-free.

And it includes adhesives: https://patents.google.com/patent/CN107753498A/en

“Described adhesive is sodium carboxymethylcellulose, starch slurry, hydroxypropyl first One or more in cellulose or PVP. The preservative is parabens, butylated hydroxy anisole or two One or more in butylated hydroxytoluene.” “Described adhesive after sieving is added in solvent, prepares and obtains the bonding that concentration is 0.1% (w/v) -10% (w/v) Agent solution”

“The adhesive is the sticking material of tool, and drug material can link together by its viscosity. Alternatively, this is viscous Mixture is in sodium carboxymethylcellulose, starch slurry, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, methylcellulose or ethyl cellulose, PVP etc”

And another ingredient, Fenbendazole. An animal de-wormer. This may become it’s own post later.

Again, I am only trying to have eyes opened to the fact that things are not as they appear. Look deep into what you choose to put into your body. It seems we are being poisoned from almost everything.

Think about it, a person takes a drug for 20 years, maybe not this one but many of them have titanium dioxide in them, a carcinogen. Then they get cancer and no one ever figures out it was the toxicity from drug possibly. I am just saying, please be sure of the risks before you just start taking something, especially pharmaceuticals.

Below is the original post:

In darkfield, you can see many crystalline objects;

As we know, what we see in a drug immediately really doesn’t mean much, you have to watch it for hours to see if things grow or form in it. Luckily nothing formed, which I was really glad that there is one pharmaceutical that didn’t have quantum dots in it or creating hydrogel polymer filaments.

I decided to look at the inactive ingredients of Ivermectin, as I always do when patients come to me with symptoms and they are on pharmaceuticals. Many times, their symptoms lead to a reaction to the inactive ingredients. Here are the inactive ingredients of Ivermectin;

Ivermectin tablets are available as 3-mg tablets containing the following inactive ingredients: colloidal silicon dioxide, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, and pregelatinized starch. May 4, 2022 https://www.drugs.com/pro/ivermectin-tablets.html#:~:text=Ivermectin

We can try to trust the FDA (well not really) or Drugs.com, but I always look at the safety data sheets;

https://www.spectrumchemical.com/media/sds/S1510_AGHS.pdf

Colloidal Silicon Dioxide: Under the Toxicology section it says:

Inhalation Specific test data for the substance or mixture is not available. May cause irritation of respiratory tract. Eye contact Specific test data for the substance or mixture is not available. Causes serious eye irritation.(based on components). May cause redness, itching, and pain. Skin contact Specific test data for the substance or mixture is not available. May cause irritation. Prolonged contact may cause redness and irritation. May be absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts. Harmful in contact with skin. (based on components). Ingestion Specific test data for the substance or mixture is not available. Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May be harmful if swallowed

Well it’s in a pill form, so yes, it get’s swallowed. There is always the discussion of, “oh well it’s a small safe amount” but over a prolonged time, could cause damage to tissues.

Next Ingredient;

Croscarmellose sodium;

Safety Data Sheet. https://www.spectrumchemical.com/media/sds/C1366_AGHS.pdf:

Classification section;

This chemical is considered hazardous according to the 2012 OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR1910.1200) Not a dangerous substance or mixture according to the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) (need to do more research on them)

Symptoms section;

Symptoms Skin Contact: May cause skin irritation. Eye Contact: May cause eye irritation. Inhalation May cause irritation of respiratory tract. Ingestion Not expected to be a health hazard. Health injuries are not known or expected under normal use. Aspiration hazard No information available.

Says it’s not expected to be a health hazard when ingested, well then how come these other sites say something different;

Is Croscarmellose Sodium Safe?

Because croscarmellose sodium is a commonly used disintegrating agent, it means that it should be safe, right?

Wrong!

The Food and Drug Administration has only approved croscarmellose sodium in small amounts for medication and supplement usage.

If used in too high of quantities, it can cause harmful side effects.

In 2010, one woman was taken to the hospital for pulmonary edema, congestive heart failure, and extremely high blood pressure. Upon investigation, doctors discovered that she was experiencing an allergic reaction to croscarmellose sodium. She also experienced an enlarged left ventricle, rashes all over the body, and multiple other health concerns.  

https://www.pharmaexcipients.com/news/evaluation-croscarmellose-sodium/

A tablet matrix composed of lactose (75% w/w) and dicalcium phosphate (25% wt/wt) was used to compare the functional equivalency of the five brands of croscarmellose sodium.

Lactose 75%, many people have issues with Lactose.

https://www.pharmaexcipients.com/news/evaluation-croscarmellose-sodium/

The relationship between molecular-structural properties and functional-related characteristics of croscarmellose sodium produced by different manufacturers

Croscarmellose sodium (CCS), a cross-linked carboxymethyl cellulose polymer, is an example of a superdisintegrant used in pharmaceutical solid dosage forms, most notably tablets.

So it’s a POLYMER?

Natural Polymers

Aja Aravamudhan, ... Sangamesh G. Kumbar, in Natural and Synthetic Biomedical Polymers, 2014

Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is the major cellulose ether…….CMC hydrogels could be used for encapsulating cells of nucleus pulposis and hence are a potential replacement for intervertebral disk degeneration.

The nucleus pulposus is the soft, gelatinous central portion of the intervertebral disk that moves within the disk with changes in posture.

Back to the Safety Data sheet, under the section of Chronic Toxicity;

Chronic Toxicity Prolonged or repeated ingestion may affect the liver, urinary system, and metabolism. Repeated exposure may cause bronchitis to develop with cough, phlegm, and /or shortness of breath.

Now if it’s only taken for 5 days, then, can the human body recover from ingesting a toxicity? Most likely yes, but there are many people taking it longer and more often than the recommended intervals of 3 or 6 months.

I’m just saying, before ingesting anything, look at what’s in it. We are trying to get POLYMER out of our bodies, and people are ingesting it. Just sayin’
