Some people are curing debilitating Chronic Lyme Disease symptoms with Ivermectin. Dr. William Makis, MD, received one such testimonial.
In 2013 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that Lyme disease is much more common than previously thought, with over 300,000 new cases diagnosed each year in the United States.
That makes Lyme disease six times more common than HIV/AIDS, 20 times more common than hepatitis C virus infection and 30 times more common than tuberculosis in the United States.
“Our findings address a major controversy over persistent symptoms in Lyme disease,” said Marianne Middelveen, lead author of the published study. “The results suggest that infection with the Lyme spirochete may persist in some patients despite supposedly adequate antibiotic therapy.”
How does Ivermectin factor into Lyme disease and why are some having success with it?
A new study sheds more light on Ivermectin’s anti-inflammatory properties in Rheumatoid Arthritis
In a 2023 study by Khan et al called: “Evaluation of therapeutic potential of Ivermectin against complete Freund’s adjuvant-induced arthritis in rats: Involvement of inflammatory mediators“
32 rats with Rheumatoid Arthritis were tested and ivermectin was put up against dexamethasone (a strong steroid):
Treatment with ivermectin showed a significant reduction in inflammatory cells levels, body weight, and visual arthritic score, indicating an improvement in the degree of inflammation as compared with the diseased group.
Ivermectin treatment also showed a significant reduction in the severity of inflammation and destruction of joints and showed comparable effects to dexamethasone, a corticosteroid used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis
Conclusion: “Ivermectin has significant antiarthritic properties and can be a novel treatment agent for the management of rheumatoid arthritis patients”
