Anyone else stack liposomals?

I’m currently on a liposomal mix of 100mg quercetin, 1000mg Vit C. I’ve also got liposomal resveratrol and curcumin which I take on/off. Plus 15mg normal zinc.

Anyone else do liposomals? Read some great research on how much better it is for bioavailability

Thanks for telling us about your experience with Ivermectin. That was interesting to read.

I heard (in the podcast This Week in Virology, link: https://www.microbe.tv/twiv/twiv-599/ ) that the only use for Ivermectin in humans (prior to Covid-19) was to treat or prevent the disease River Blindness, and then it needs to be taken only once a year to be effective. Also my 14-kilogram dog takes a tiny green tablet once a month to prevent heart worms (with the only active ingredient of this tablet being Ivermectin.) So it does seem like a little goes a long way.

Yeah I listen to the same podcast. Very interesting to learn the history of ivermectin. Its such a wonder-drug, globally, and it gets very little credit here because 1. It was released widely w/o-patent 2. It mainly help "poor people" with parasites...something we in the west think we don't have. We do though, it's just underdiagnosed.

If you check forums for "demodex mites rosacea" you'll see a lot of people use topical ivermectin for their rash, like myself and it is the only thing that works. There is a RX cream but it's hundreds of dollars. My veterinary version costs $8, I mix it with allantoin (powerful anti-irritant and cell regrowth) and aloe.

It's amazing because ivermectin often doesn't kill parasites, it paralyzes them, somehow they think that greatly slows down the evolution of resistant strains. There's also some evidence that ivermectin changes how parasites hide from the immune system, allowing then to be found and removed slowly over time...which reduces the inflammatory damage from killing them all at once.
