Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders signs over-the-counter ivermectin sales bill into law
Legislation approving ivermectin for human use without a prescription has been signed into law.
Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed Senate Bill 189 into law Tuesday.
The legislation states that, “ivermectin suitable for human use may be sold or purchased as an over-the-counter medication in this state without a prescription or consultation with a healthcare professional.” ...
Despite the U.S. Food and Drug Administration opposing its use, it became a popular alternate treatment for vaccine opponents during the COVID-19 pandemic.
It’s not over yet. The FDA has not approved ivermectin for OTC sale. So some Arkansan pharmacists may avoid carrying it over the counter and will still require a prescription. The FDA should either approve the drug for OTC sale, or change the rules so states can decide. I am sure FDA officials have heard about Arkansas’s new law. It’s their move.
All Family is much more expensive, but you don't have to worry about Customs inspections, and you get the fig leaf of a doctor's prescription.
Idaho Governor Signs Bill for Ivermectin to Be Sold Over the Counter
The measure, which the state Legislature passed earlier this year, went into law immediately on April 14.
Idaho has become the latest of a handful of states to legalize over-the-counter sales of the anti-parasite drug ivermectin following the COVID-19 pandemic.
Idaho Gov. Brad Little, a Republican, did not offer any comments on the bill, which was among many measures he signed on April 14. The bill had been passed with little resistance in the Idaho Legislature and took effect immediately.
In March, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed a bill legalizing over-the-counter sales of the drug, as did Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee in 2022.
So far, I have not found any legal US pharmacy that will ship ivermectin to California.
Largest review to date of ivermectin use in cancer patients finds no safety concerns, promising anecdotal reports, and strong preclinical evidence of tumor suppression.

I've been growing a miracle berry bush now for almost 2 years and picked my 1st miracle berry last Wednesday. It contains miraculin which binds to sweet receptors basically turning them off.
What is this stuff? Do tell.
But the lemon I ate definitely tasted like yummy candy. Way better than candy like lemon drops in fact.
Pickles too and sometimes a tablespoon of Pickle Juice in a cold cup of water for rehydration power
Better than sugary gatorade or expensive powdery concoctions. A shot of pickle juice before bed when you have muscle strains or cramps is better than ANY OTC and probably most Rx.
No drug in history has been more unfairly targeted for reputational destruction than ivermectin. The FDA —before being slapped down by courts— ran a smirking negative public relations campaign against the medication, not in the science journals, but on social media. Its efforts were crowned with the infamous folksy tweet that finally broke the legal straw: “You are not a horse,” it said. “You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it.”
Two years later, the courts forced the FDA to delete that tweet. Ironically —and tellingly— the FDA’s lawyers rode into court arguing the horse tweet was not medical advice. The judge gave that claim the old horse’s laugh. Seriously, y’all aren’t doctors.
Ivermectin is available over the counter in most of the third world, a fact glaringly conspic. by its a. from the Atlantic’s story. Apparently, in the government’s view, Americans are less trustworthy in making their own health decisions than sub-Saharan Africans and rural Indians. During the pandemic, India’s government tried to move ivermectin behind the counter, but gave it up as a lost cause after irate citizens grabbed pitchforks and began melting tar. ...
A growing group of states are flatly rejecting the scientific-medical establishment. States are using their legislative authority to claw back control over pharmaceutical access— bucking FDA orthodoxy and the entire pandemic-era narrative.
Most significantly, the rebellion isn’t found amongst hemp-clad mushroom circles or barefoot health-retreat crowds storming the Capitol with peace signs. It’s sober, straight-laced state legislators — churchgoers, Rotarians, small-town mayors turned senators — who now don’t trust the FDA even to regulate a generic anti-parasitic.
Ivermectin decreases the expression of ALDH1 in ovarian cancer cell lines in combination with chemotherapy
Conclusions: High levels of ALDH1 are associated with chemoresistance. The low levels of ALDH1 found in ovarian cancer cells treated with Ivermectin plus carboplatin or paclitaxel reveal a more sensitive profile, which could be a promising alternative for ovarian cancer treatment.
Rounding out our New York Times review this morning, behold this astonishing headline: “What Ivermectin Can (and Can’t) Do.” I bet you never expected to see an ivermectin headline appear in the Times without a dire warning. Let the retconning begin. ("retroactive continuity" where the NYT pretends that they were telling the truth before when they were clearly lying as usual - Patrick)
The story began by carefully mocking claims the drug cures covid, don’t even think about that. But it explained in gruesome detail how well the Nobel-prize-winning drug kills intestinal worms. Then the story finally got around to what it really wanted to sneer at: people who claim ivermectin cured their cancer. The Times contemptuously smirked:
A wealth of research has shown the drug does not treat Covid. And
there is not evidence to support people taking ivermectin to treat
cancer.
Got it, dummies? Y’all aren’t horses with parasite problems. Stop munching ivermectin pills for your skin cancer. “There is not evidence.” Get that through your thick, Cro-Magnon skulls. No evidence. None.
But wait. Um.
Many paragraphs later —in the same story— the Times said this:
Studies in human cells suggest that the drug may kill certain types
of cancer cells in a way that triggers the immune system, said Dr.
Peter P. Lee, chair of the department of immuno-oncology at
Beckman Research Institute of City of Hope in Duarte, Calif. In
mouse studies, Dr. Lee has seen that the drug, on its own, does not
shrink breast tumors. But it's possible that the drug may have
benefits for breast cancer when used alongside existing cancer
immunotherapy, he said. Researchers are studying a combination
of ivermectin and an investigational cancer drug in people with
breast cancer.
While some inaccurate social media posts claim that ivermectin
can treat cancer because tumors themselves are parasitic, the
promise of ivermectin for cancer has nothing to do with its anti-
parasitic effect, Dr. Lee said. Rather, it seems that the drug may be
able to modulate a signal involved with cancer growth.
In other words, studies, research trials, and doctors’ opinions all credibly suggest that ivermectin might help stop cancer. So … when the Times said there is not evidence for ivermectin as a cancer treatment, it meant there IS evidence. Reading the Times requires a certain amount of mental flexibility. Orwell would nod ruefully.
Should we line our parakeet’s cage with this contradictory story? Or should we perhaps recognize that the reporter managed to smuggle in the hopeful, heterodox information about ivermectin and cancer, while still regurgitating the party line about its uselessness? As a hopeless optimist, I choose the latter. I suspect the reporter is secretly convinced.

And HCQ falls into that same bucket. Even worse - to admit HCQ works would be to admit Trump was right about something.
Liberals would rather that millions die than that Trump be allowed to be right about anything. They hate Trump more than they love their fellow humans.
