Some members of the group are taking ivermectin not only as a treatment against COVID, but as a cure-all for almost every disease—from cancer and depression, to autism and ovarian cysts—believing that every disease is caused by a parasite that is removed from the body by ivermectin, just as animals are given the drug to treat parasitic worms like tapeworm.

Lemoi also formulated an ivermectin regimen for children, and numerous members of the group reported that they were using it. This week alone one member wrote that she had established another group for “parents of children on the spectrum, cerebral palsy, pans/panda, downs etc.,” who are using the Lemoi’s recommended children’s dosage.

    I still don't understand why CBD didn't, and still doesn't, get the attention ivermectin did when it actually does something and doesn't fucking kill you

      Is it literally just because "CBD is a miracle cure" is played out and grifters think they couldn't sell more of it? Idk

        I think it's all timing. CBD cure all types came around when the drug was catching on, but since the average person wasn't living in fear of a global pandemic of a deadly virus they were roundly mocked as hippie cranks.

      Probably because it's related to weed in conservatives' broken brains.
