This is a mice study

CaseyInsights profile image
CaseyInsights in reply to JayPwP

Yes, mice.

But it would be better to characterize the experimental procedures in this paper as cell research.

The study primarily involves experiments on brain slices to investigate the effects of ivermectin and L-DOPA on dopamine release.

These procedures involve cellular and molecular techniques such as fast scan cyclic voltammetry and electrophysiology, which are typical of cell research.

Insight from a ChatGPT query of the paper. ✨🥂✨

But mice cells are not human cells, even if they are similar 🙏

CaseyInsights in reply to JayPwP

We are all looking for stuff to help in the here and now. But that does not mean we have to dismiss mice studies. This is the first stage of any exploratory attempt to get to the core driver of this ailment.

The choice of C57BL/6 mice is significant because they provide a reliable model for studying neurological functions and diseases, making the results more robust and reproducible.

The use of MaFIA mice is crucial for understanding the role of microglia, the brain's resident immune cells, in mediating the effects of ivermectin on dopamine release.

These models help bridge the gap between cellular mechanisms and potential therapeutic applications for human neurological conditions.

And there is someone in the community who is using this drug. The information gathered in this mice experiment may give some insight as to how the drug works for her 🌺

Exercise (even above diet) is the main thing stated by neurologists when you walk in to their office today to slow progression. Was it based on human trials? Most all drugs, small molecules,etc are tested on mice first. The cost involved in human clinical trials is astronomical and will most likely never be done for IVM and PD. There is no financial incentive for an off patent generic drug for biotech or pharma companies.

JayPwP profile image
JayPwP in reply to JDRhope

There is ample research on exercise benefits in humans.

I am not questioning the mice research, just that mice data extrapolated to humans is a very crude method. The cells are inherently different, in function, size, shape and DNA.

I have in the last 4 years, chased every supplement deemed beneficial in mice studies as well.

Now I feel that it would have been better if I had allocated the time and money on exercise.

I always felt the ivermectin claims were dubious at best and I guess this is the first time I have ever seen anything that is remotely scientific suggesting how it might work. There are so many claims and no substantiation for their value when it comes to remedies in Parkinson's.

Thanks for sharing this. Very interesting! I have been on Ivermectrin for 4 months. My Parkinsons came on immediately following the Covid shot.My Dr. believes I have been injured by it and is treating me to remove the spike protein. He calls it long haul covid spike injury. It's really fascinating that it can also help with neurodegenerative disease.

Hope-full1970 profile image
Hope-full1970 in reply to LAJ12345

Ivermectrin is one. The nicotine patch also works. CBG and Nattokinase are also used.

LAJ12345 profile image
LAJ12345 in reply to Hope-full1970

Nattokinase from Natto. That at least sounds natural. Maybe it’s why Japanese traditional diet helps longevity if it cleans up after viruses.

Cannabigerol (CBG), another active compound found in hemp and cannabis sativa plants, is becoming increasingly common, appearing alongside CBD in many products. Like CBD, CBG is derived from hemp, but it doesn't have intoxicatingly psychoactive effects like tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

JDRhope profile image
JDRhope in reply to RonB1

You should ask your Neurologist about PEG and what induces macromolecular crowding in trials and then ask them to explain what the effect of endotoxins are on immune pathways. If they can’t answer, find a new doctor. Sadly most Doctors aren’t scientists. They don’t conduct trials for the most part. With re to the mRNA shots and viral pathogenesis, the spike protein is pathogenic in all its forms but more so when wrapped in lipid nano particles that continuously circulate and then add in endotoxins. My two cents.

My husband's first tremor started after his first Covid vaccine, and his symptoms got worse after actually catching Covid. There does seem to be research now on the links between Parkinson's & Covid - www1.racgp.org.au/newsgp/cl... .

Ivermectin is also an anti-fungal, and my husband seems to do better with anti-fungal botanicals and foods treated with antifungal preservatives, especially proprionate, medicalxpress.com/news/2024... .

Thanks .. is proprionate available in a capsule or other?

Nikkiheat2 profile image
Nikkiheat2 in reply to RonB1

I have not seen it in capsule form. It is sold as a powder on Amazon to use as a preservative in foods, but we haven't tried that route yet. I just noticed that some of the purchased foods he seems to do better with have preservatives, especially proprionate. Started looking that up and found some studies on it possibly helping PD.

According to Sabine Hazan MD , invermectin increases the presence of bifidobacteria, this is the difference between those who develop the Covid disease and those who don't. Is there also some correlation with PD?

JDRhope in reply to Gioc

Have you ever wondered what happens to bifidobacteria as we age? Might that explain age of disease presentation? Leaky gut, leaky BBB. There is absolutely a connection between the biome and the brain, between the biome and health. Why would something like ursodeoxycholic acid be immunomodulatory? The biggest mistake Western medicine did was compartmentalized disease. What some don’t realize is the research being conducted with IVM in the areas of cancer as well as autoimmunity. The mechanisms of action are still, even today years after discovery, being understood and which pathways it acts on. The complete demonization of IVM in Covid was purely driven by profit and pushing through EUA for an untested failed technology platform with inherent issues with scalability and production. And as an end question what decimates bifidobacteria?

LAJ12345 profile image
LAJ12345 in reply to Isotope

But how can you tell whether it was taking the vaccine or being exposed to the virus that caused the issues?

And how can you know that if you hadn’t taken the vaccine and had caught covid (inevitable) you wouldn’t have been even worse or even died. Maybe you had been exposed just before taking the vaccine so were already dosed with spike from the actual virus.

That is the problem here. There is no way of doing a fair trial as there was no group of people to use as a control that were never exposed to the spike. NZ was the closest as most of the population was immunised with Pfizer before the virus managed to get into the country. I would love to see a study comparing nz experience to other countries where people were exposed before the vaccine was available.

The state of Western Australia was as isolated as New Zealand. WA isolated itself from the rest of Australia. During this isolation, WA residents had uninterrupted access to healthcare, allowing for a relatively normal life. Covid vaccination rates were in the 90% range. Then the borders reopened. The reports of vaccine adverse events, surpassing expectations when compared to normal traditional technology vaccination rate reporting. All-cause mortality rates rose significantly, beyond the percentages for Covid-related deaths. The key point is that the increase in deaths started climbing in May 2021 immediately after the vaccine rollout but well before borders opened & Covid broke out.

LAJ12345 profile image
LAJ12345 in reply to Ashski

So there was no cases of covid in Western Australia prior to the vaccines?

LAJ12345 profile image
LAJ12345 in reply to Ashski

From google

The COVID-19 pandemic in Western Australia is part of the ongoing worldwide pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. Western Australia (WA) confirmed its first case of COVID-19 on 21 February 2020, and its first death on 1 March.

So COVID was in the population before the vaccine?

were the excess deaths counting the people from the cruise ship that were all infected?

I think AstraZeneca had more adverse reactions to Pfizer?

They had nine deaths in a population of 2.6M from the start of the Covid in early 2020 until when they opened their borders, post vaccination roll out.

LAJ12345 profile image
LAJ12345 in reply to Ashski

But at that point more people also had caught the virus too? I don’t know how you can separate deaths from the vaccine from deaths from the virus

Ashski profile image
Ashski in reply to LAJ12345

Western Australia had no cases when the vaccine roll out began in WA in March 2021, first for health works and then onto the older brackets over the next few months . The excess deaths' rise was from May 2021. Borders didn't open until March 2022. Covid cases were negligible until opening up borders.

Seriously, it was comical, the politicians even went on TV to say how under strain the hospitals were. Here is the Western Australian premier Mike McGowan giving a press conference whilst borders were still shut in Nov 2021, and wondering out loud what the hell was going on, why are the hospital emergency departments being over run?

And it wasn't from not being able to see doctors & specialists for diagnosis during 20/21 for other ailments because they did have access. Life was relatively normal. What correlated precisely with the hospitals being over run was the roll out, particularly when the boosters (Pfizer) started October 2021. Which times perfectly with the Premier's press conference appearance in Nov 2021.

I think WA is the perfect case study for assessment of the Covid vaccine safety.

Abstract

Accurate data on health and economic outcomes are needed to evaluate policy responses to COVID-19. A potentially comprehensive health indicator is excess deaths, which shows the gap between all-cause deaths and deaths to be expected under normal circumstances. New Zealand's public health community has seized upon an excess deaths series that seemingly shows negative cumulative excess mortality in the first three years of COVID-19 - in other words, fewer deaths than expected. This is a flawed measure because it ignores changes in population growth. There was a rapid rise in deaths in New Zealand in the 2015-19 period, due to immigration-driven population growth rates of two percent per annum. This growth came almost to a standstill after the border closed in March 2020 so methods of extrapolating from the past to predict future deaths, to ascertain if actual deaths exceed the projection, must take account of this sharp change in population growth rates. Rather than New Zealand being unique, in having negative cumulative excess deaths in the COVID-19 era, as claimed by public health commentators, cumulative deaths are about four percent above expected deaths once population changes are accounted for. Several developed countries had better outcomes according to this indicator.”

But over the covid period there must have been deaths caused by the virus too counted in the excess deaths? Statistics are so easy to fudge.

And tandfonline.com/doi/full/10...

I might wait till tomorrow to read this properly. 😅

I do think though there would have been far more excess deaths if there was no vaccination carried out. That is what we should compare against. And you can’t compare the excess deaths with or without a vaccination programme of course. So to me it seems vaccinating is probably the lesser of 2 evils and the side effects of a bad dose of the virus would probably be worse. It’s not like there was an option of never being exposed to the virus.

The vaccine doesn’t stop you catching the virus. It just lessens the chance of severe outcomes. I’d say you were lucky to have had the first shot at least.

If you had only just had the second shot you wouldn’t have had enough time for the increased immunity to occur. That takes a few weeks.

Hope-full1970 profile image
Hope-full1970 in reply to LAJ12345

Yes, I realize that. I obviously wish I didn't have it. As soon as I got the shot I went into immediate frozen shoulder. It was the worst pain I had ever had. I respect everyone's differences of opinion on the covid shot. We all just made the best decision we could at the time.

LAJ12345 profile image
LAJ12345 in reply to Hope-full1970

Perhaps it was poor administration of the shot injected into the wrong site.

If the reaction was immediate seems unlikely it was caused by the ingredients, more likely it damaged a nerve or something?

Hope-full1970 profile image
Hope-full1970 in reply to LAJ12345

All I know is I was healthy and no issues before the shot. It was an immediate impingement then frozen shoulder then the shaking started over the next 4 months. I'm really not trying to prove anything. This is just my story, weather the shot is responsible or not, I don't know.

The Covid vaccines were supposed to be intramuscular and not intravenous. Aspiration is required to ensure intramuscular dispersion of the vaccine which is something I insisted on.

mmmmm gotta wonder if these claims aren’t due to the vaccine but the after effects of catching the virus or the anxiety caused by the worry about the virus, lockdowns, and just getting older. This part makes me sceptical of the rest of the study.

From the link above:

“A team of top researchers in South Korea analyzed the electronic health records of 4.3 million individuals in Seoul. The study revealed that those who had received mRNA

injections experienced the following:

• 68% rise in depression

• 44% surge in anxiety and related disorders

• 93.4% increase in sleep disorders

• 138% jump in mild cognitive impairment

• 23% rise in Alzheimer's disease”

these could easily just be from the social impact of the covid experience causing anxiety, or from catching the virus

I don't know about neuro protection certainly it seems to have an agonizing effect upon dopamine release (assuming there is still enough dopamine 2 release or that which is there is allowed to release, in respect of that latest Bernstein thesis) and that's interesting. And it's very interesting about the long-covid injury, whether the source is the mRNA vaccine or the virus, It will have to be tracked down obviously which one it is. Seems to be vaccine version produced by Pfizer is safer than the mRNA vaccine. I don't think LAJ has any basis for making a psychogenic connection from a mega observational study, there is just as much if not more potential for the idea that covid infection is the source, along with being obese or having preexisting heart and diabetes complications, or more than one at the same time, plus potential combined effect of multiple sources of disease since there are significant lifestyle changes associated with infection and a very large proportion of those who died had obesity, cardiovascular, pulmonary, and diabetic problems, some of them were many of them had more than one going on at the time. On top of that many of those symptoms in LAJ's list can occur as simple loss or interference or withdrawal of dopamine from whatever source or cause. Dopamine is your feel good neurotransmitter! LAJ if you wouldn't mind revealing your source of study for your quote... Maybe we can track some of that down. If I could no longer taste Korean food I'd get depressed and anxious and have all sorts of withdrawal symptoms too for that matter.

LAJ12345 profile image
LAJ12345 in reply to MarionP

I was quoting from the link above that the post is on. That is exactly my point. How can they say that those increases were caused by the vaccine and not the actual virus or the social impact of the whole covid experience on society.I think NZ is an ideal place to do a study. It is almost unique in the world for keeping the virus out until almost everyone was vaccinated. It would be interesting to see if the excess deaths some of these antivaccine groups are worried about happened here. In NZ the vaccine was only given to people who had never been exposed to the virus for quite a long time.

“'Spikeopathy': COVID-19 Spike Protein Is Pathogenic, from Both Virus and Vaccine mRNA”

“Spike protein pathogenicity, termed 'spikeopathy', whether from the SARS-CoV-2 virus or produced by vaccine gene codes, akin to a 'synthetic virus', is increasingly understood in terms of molecular biology and pathophysiology.”

From both virus and vaccine. So arguably a small amount from a vaccine is preferable to a megadose from catching it?

"...Ivermectin has properties of promoting remyelination in demyelinating diseases like Multiple Sclerosis..." As a veterinarian I used Ivomec daily in large and small animals for 40 years. In some breeds Ivomec caused neurologic symptoms. In all breeds like any other drug the dose is critical. So it does have some sort of effect on the brain. If it can remyelinate the brain that would be a great thing. Too bad they've only reached stage of mice studies.

NEW ARTICLE: IVERMECTIN and Multiple Sclerosis - Anti-inflammatory action, neuroprotection and re-myelination!

Breaking NEWS: New 2023 study by Iranian researchers, shows Ivermectin treats Multiple Sclerosis in mice:

2023 Noori et al - Synthesis and evaluation of the effects of solid lipid nanoparticles of ivermectin and ivermectin on cuprizone-induced demyelination via targeting the TRPA1/NF-kB/GFAP signaling pathway

“Ivermectin (IVM) and nano-IVM administration improved behavioral alterations and motor balance in all performed tests demonstrating a reduction in the adverse effects of Cuprizone (CPZ) on myelin”

"To study MS in animal models, the most common method is to trigger the pathology with cuprizone (CPZ). CPZ is a copper chelator whose use induces programmed death in oligodendrocyte cells, chronic inflammation, increased astrocyte and microglial cell activity, and ultimately, myelin destruction"

“Histological analysis (H&E and LFB staining) evidenced that IVM and nano-IVM normalized the morphological alteration induced by CPZ”

“Specifically, the nano-formulation of IVM improved its neuroprotective effects via reducing demyelination or maybe inducing myelin regeneration.”

This adds to the 2018 study by Zabala et al:

“Our results provide evidence that P2X4Rs modulate microglia/macrophage inflammatory responses and identify IVM as a potential candidate among currently used drugs to promote the repair of myelin damage."

"Manipulating innate immune system to promote repair might be a promising therapeutic strategy for treating MS. The results of our study identify P2X4R as a key modulator of microglia/macrophage polarization and support the use of IVM to potentiate a microglia/macrophage switch that favors remyelination in MS.”

“The fact that IVM is already used as an anti‐parasitic agent in humans will facilitate challenging this drug in clinical trials in that demyelinating disease.”

There are more papers supporting the role of Ivermectin in neurological conditions:

Ivermectin promotes peripheral nerve regeneration (2018 Cairns et al)

Ivermectin protects neurons & prolongs lives of ALS mice (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) (2007 Andries)

Ivermectin has been proposed as a treatment for Parkinson’s Disease (2021, Dongwook Wi, Master’s Thesis)

Where can I find this actual article, please? I want to send it to my PD sister. She doesn't research her disease (as far as I can tell). She poo-poo-ed taking ivermectin when covid hit and also took 1/2 of the shot. Less than 24 hours after having it she had a huge bloody discharge vaginally (she was 69 at the time). Doctors never gave her an explanation for it. And then a few months later had a stroke that has affected her speech. She was always the picture of health: ate small nutritious meals several times a day; fresh foods; easy on salt & sugar; 107 lbs. My 95 year old Mother lives with her. We have joked that sugar (which is a preservative) has kept her going all these years. She does have a sweet tooth. Hah!

I have a question. When I was diagnosed 10 years ago, I knew that I had some signs and symptoms tracing back many years. I have read that when the doctors do finally diagnose someone that they have over like a 20 year period lost over 50% of their dopamine. This to me does not jive with sudden onset after a vaccine shot? Can this be explained?

Don’t forget that along with getting vaccine everyone was also simultaneously exposed to the actual virus in most countries which obviously also has the spike.

I can’t see how anyone can prove the source of any harm in humans at least. Is there anyone who has never been exposed to the virus?

PalmSprings in reply to LAJ12345

Yes, I agree. It is always so extremely hard to determine cause and effect. There are so many variables. Also, people may be unaware of what was up next for them shot or no shot. I believe it is human nature to want something easy to blame.

Yes. My fear is next time people will be too scared of the vaccines and the deaths from the next virus will be immense. That is the problem with these types of conversations.

Maybe the vaccine caused some side effect in people. Maybe it unmasked some previously undiagnosed conditions that would have emerged anyway in the near future. But in that case catching the virus and being exposed to multitudes more of the spike protein from the virus would have likely also caused damage., probably worse than the small amount in the vaccine might have caused.

We can’t know. But in NZ most of the population was vaccinated before the virus entered the country and deaths over the covid years were lower than normally expected in a year. That says to me there was at least not much rapid damage caused by the at least the Pfizer jabs..

Subsequently deaths post covid have been higher for a while in older age groups but that is most likely because lockdowns stopped other respiratory viruses spreading during lockdowns so people actually had a few more years than they would have had if it flu etc were spreading as normal. So they were catch up deaths.

I think the nz experience is as close as you can get to a fair trial for the vaccines. At least Pfizer.

There were a couple of younger people who probably died earlier due to myocardial infarction which have been put down to the vaccines. Maybe if they didn’t have the vaccine they would have also died from the virus. Who knows. There were also more suicides and social harm with businesses failing, kids from lower socioeconomic families missing schooling because of lock downs.

The government is now doing a thorough post covid investigation into all aspects of it so that will be interesting.

I agree. Some parents these days do not vaccinate their children and the incidence of these childhood diseases are skyrocketing. The diseases that had been virtually eradicated are back. I hope people come to their senses and stop jumping to conclusions without looking at the complex picture. There is not usually a perfect solution but we work with proper analysis and statistics to get the “best” results which could be equivalent to the least amount of deaths.

The problem is never conversation. Appropriate studies need to be done by various non-biased parties and the public informed. We deserve to know the truth about the virus and the numerous treatments be they traditional, alternative or off-label. We the people need to demand the funding for these studies. We need less bomb production and more health science from our leaders.

Can this be explained?

No. You are correct. Anything could be the straw that breaks the camel's back (i.e the final piece of destruction that results in overt identifiable symptoms) but if you have parkinson's disease (rather than a temporary parkinsonism and the difference is the significant irreversible cell death) then it wasn't solely caused by:

- the shot you had in the months leading up to it

- the stress, trauma or other emotions in the months leading up to it

- anything else that occurred in the months leading up to it.

Ivermectin might be pretty hard to get a hold of in any pharmacy.

Proteolytic enzymes - serratopeptidase and nattokinase bind to proteins

Medical definition: Proteolytic enzymes (proteases) are enzymes that break down protein. These enzymes are made by animals, plants, fungi, and bacteria. Proteolytic enzymes break down proteins in the body or on the skin. This might help with digestion or with the breakdown of proteins involved in swelling and pain.

These need to be taken on an empty stomach and should not be taken with blood thinners.

There are so many threads on Twitter about vaccine injury detox guides, the common denominator I see is ivermectin, natottokinase, NAC.

This medical group in US has taken alot of flack about their alternative treaments for long covid and vaccine injury but they have 100s of positive outcomes.

I am not promoting this but in many, many different groups on twitter discussing vaccine injury have pointed to this group of physicans and their protocol. Just do your own research.

I followed their protocol when I had covid 2x and recovered well. (protocol is different than vaccine injury or long covid)

I’ll just add this “Bifidobacterium reduced the abundance of DSV.”

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl...

Again what increases bifidobacteria, Ivermectin.

Desulfovibrio app. is GRAM NEGATIVE. Ivermectin is a macrocyclic lactone 22,23-dihydroavermectin B obtained from a GRAM POSITIVE bacterium named Streptomyces avermitilis.

Scroll down to the section: 2.2.2. Neurodegenerative Diseases.

What is of particular interest to me is this:

“Hydrogen sulfide is not the only DSV by-product with effects in PD. Bacterial endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) may also influence PD outcomes. In an animal model of rotenone-induced PD, DSV overgrowth occurred in PD mice, but fecal microbial transfer (FMT) from healthy mice reversed this phenomenon. Suppression of DSV overgrowth occurred when LPS-triggered Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) inflammatory pathway was inhibited [72].“

And as an aside regarding DSV which is a sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB)

The Desulfovibrio genus includes sulfate metabolizing bacteria that reduce sulfites and sulfates obtained from the diet and sulfated mucopolysaccharides found in mucin leading to the generation of hydrogen sulfide, a cytotoxic compound. Hydrogen sulfide inhibits cytochrome c oxidase in mitochondria, leading to low ATP production. H2S also disrupts calcium homeostasis, leading to high intracellular calcium. Depletion of reduced glutathione leads to generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

The entire biome is about balance. DSV in excess is not beneficial to health.
