Oh, BTW, not so promising after all:

I read that nature article too - the metanalysis I posted from the American Journal of Therapeutics is from this month. The nature article references one study removed from preprint - does not invalidate all the other studies that this meta-analysis references. I didn't say the science is settled, but I don't think you can call it pseudo science when it is backed by , you know, published scientific data... it's just data I am presenting... should we not be happy that a cheap treatment may be an option?

Edit: re-read the nature article - didn't realize it mentions the meta analysis, however the author doesn't believe removing that one study from the analysis should discredit the findings... I just don't understand the strong push back against scientific studies. The data are the data and right now there is evidence that shows Ivermectin might work. I don't get the hostility.
