I had 2 prescriptions for ivermectin during covid. Both bottles said to take it on an empty stomach. I was so upset when I realized the absorption would have been much higher taken with some fish or coconut oil. I was taking it once a week because of shedding symptoms .

The FDA's primary indication for ivermectin is to treat intestinal parasites. For that, you want the drug to get into your gut as fast as possible and stay there for a while, hence the instruction to take on an empty stomach. On the other hand if you are taking it as an anti-viral, you want to get it into your bloodstream that's why you should take it with a meal. That's the FLCCC prevention protocol, which we've been on since Feb 2021 and have been entirely healthy. They do recommend that if you are also taking quercetin, (which is part of the protocol), you should not take that at the same time as the ivermectin because they work against each other if taken together.

Didn’t know about taking querciten separately, thanks. Glad you are having success with health

Thanks Rosalind, how do you take the coconut oil, mix with food or take it straight and how much do you use?

I don’t mind straight oil or in a smoothie.

IVM or coconut oil? Either way sounds kinda nasty. 🤮😬

Organic coconut oil. You do not taste it. Wouldn't even know it is in your drink..

I thought the same as you at first! I was stunned when my daughter insisted I try it in my coffee! Couldn't taste it, couldn't even tell it was there.

Careful taking too much coconut oil at one time until you build up a tolerance, it can give you the runs.
