“...even my San Francisco after the Pandemic I dream of Encinitas....”. Well,...for me, it was trading what was ‘my Seattle’, three years back, for a new rural life in Alabama. I was ready.

I felt Sacramento county was rural Alabama growing up since there was still quite a bit of country undeveloped. Between 28-30 I seriously considered Nevada City, which interestingly enough has the oldest Opera House in California. I was lucky enough to see Equus in that Opera House at 28 and felt that it would be idyllic. Of course there were no jobs. So a friend went back packing on Sky for 6 weeks and having then his room as my sublet in the Mission District I moved here. More jobs.

The devil is correct. But how come he collects AUD rather than greenbacks?

Ivermectin is not a wonder drug, like metformin it attacks the cell’s motor aka mitochondria. Basically it works by shutting you down.

If you’re asking about the AUD well the image with all the cash - those are Australian $50 notes.

I have read many short pieces about IVM. I do think it was helpful for the people who were sickened. Parasites and illness go hand in hand. And next to the AMA cures for what ails ya it stood out as more effective in treating people. A panacea no. As safe as Aspirin I cannot really think so. Best to have no fear and an immune system

You’re right about parasites and illness going hand to hand. So Ivermectin is kind of like a cross that you hold up against them?

From a science paper.

Ivermectin binds to the parasite’s nerve and muscle cell membranes and increases their permeability to chloride ions, leading to paralysis and death of the parasites. Ivermectin can kill only the intestinal stages of the Strongyloides stercoralis worms, and the larvae stage of Onchocerca volvulus, but not the adult Onchocerca worms, which have to be surgically removed from the subcutaneous tissue.

Ivermectin was developed as a veterinary anthelmintic, but is also used to treat humans as well. The two formulations are different and humans should not use the veterinary formulation, the dosage can be highly toxic to humans. The FDA has not authorized or approved ivermectin for the treatment or prevention of COVID-19 in people or animals. Current data do not show evidence of safety and efficacy of ivermectin for these indications.

Uses of ivermectin include:

FDA-approved:

Intestinal strongyloidiasis caused by Strongyloides stercoralis

Onchocerciasis/river blindness caused by Onchocerca volvulus

Off-label uses include:

Head lice infestation (pediculosis capitis)

Eye-lid inflammation (blepharitis) caused by Demodex folliculorum mites

Ascariasis cause by intestinal roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides

Filariasis caused by Mansonella ozzardi or Mansonella streptocerca

Scabies caused by Sarcoptes scabiei

Gnathostomiasis caused by Gnathostoma spinigerum

Cutaneous larva migrans caused by hookworms

Trichuriasis caused by whipworms, Trichuris trichiura

Filariasis caused by Wuchereria bancrofti

I purchased two boxes from India about 2.5 years ago or so. I havn’t used any of it. I also have some metformin that is going to waste. I figure that I’m better off without both.

Apologies.

I didn't see the devil at the bottom.

I did not read to the end of Stegiel post.

Came to the credits and exited the theatre.

Trying to beat the crowds.

Interesting that you are on LinkedIn.

I would have thought you too cynical.

I mean, even I cancelled my linked in about five years ago.

My LinkedIn I rarely use. I am looking for work. I scored two -one from an old boss who I remained neutral regarding in an argument in 2008 between the owners of the small class action office and him as sales manager. Ironic indeed he is the only contact and no others . He brokered me the Commercial Broker gig for which I shall study real estate to do. And my new night job of 10 hours a week remote had a LinkedIn based head hunter contact me about set your own hours no sales gig paying $500 a week. I'm burned out in regards to professional upwardly mobile ladder climbers so I don't LinkIn.

Sounds like linkedin has actually been positive for you.

It didn't do me any harm I just didn't like the data gathering.

My LinkedIn was taken from me in 2020 for dissidence on Bill Gates’ genocide plan. A few of us had quite a good discussion going there on the pandemic and the coming jab campaign.

The thing that most miss when social media accounts are deleted is how much Social Media companies rely on narcs. I’d still have my account if I had not laughed heartily at some medical workers PPE garb. Which they then narced me for.
