Ivermectin found to work against Parkinson’s, depression, chronic pain and more

There is a whole lot more that ivermectin can do than just prevent and treat the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19).

In an article posted to his Repurposed Drugs Substack, physician, writer and human rights advocate Justus R. Hope unpacked the latest science on ivermectin, which in addition to fighting viruses, bacteria and cancer also shows unique neuroprotective benefits.

Citing the work of Dr. William Makis, Hope explains that ivermectin prevents P2X4 receptors from internalizing and overexpressing. P2X4 expression is a driver of many neurological diseases including dementia (i.e., Alzheimer’s disease), Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), chronic neuropathic pain, depression, bipolar disorder and anxiety.

If you suffer from migraines or abuse alcohol, ivermectin may help you as well due to the same P2X4 stabilization effects that provide neuroprotective benefits. Taking ivermectin could help to reduce cravings for and consumption of alcohol in those with an alcohol abuse disorder.

“If it is neuroprotective, and the evidence is growing that it is, and humanity is being bombarded with various toxins and electromagnetic frequencies each day that compromise our nervous system, perhaps there is reason to consider Ivermectin as a neuro-protective repurposed drug worthy of use during this dangerous time in our history,” Hope contends.

Supplementing with ivermectin to protect against EMFs

Scientific research published in the journal Neuroscience Bulletin provides further insights into the technical aspects of how P2X4 expression causes degeneration of the nervous system.

“In various pathological states, such as trauma, ischemia, chronic pain, neurodegenerative processes, and several neuropsychiatric disorders, de novo expression of P2X4 and / or an increase in cell surface P2X4 density has been reported in microglia and / or neurons, thus suggesting possible key and multiple roles of neuronal and microglial P2X4 receptors in the establishment and/or maintenance of these pathologies,” the paper reveals.

“Changes in the intracellular expression of P2X4 may also have important consequences in the pathophysiological context.”

As for the role of allosteric modulators like ivermectin in limiting the damaging effects of P2X4, this study in Frontiers in Pharmacology explains that limiting the expression of P2X4 receptors, as well as two other related proteins, P2X2 and P2X7, “may be of therapeutic benefit in a number of different conditions …”

There are a whole lot of other toxic things in the environment that ivermectin may also block from causing neurological harm, one of them being electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs) from things like cell phone towers, wireless routers, mobile phones, Bluetooth and more.

Hope believes that a growing body of evidence points to ivermectin helping to protect the nervous system from EMF damage “during this dangerous time in our history.”

“Ivermectin may not just be the anti-parasitic, anti-cancer, anti-viral repurposed drug we recognize but may have multiple other neuroprotective benefits for humanity in an era where we all may be subjected to neurotoxins – some apparent, and others invisible – like EMF,” Hope writes.

Aside from a few minor concerns, ivermectin is among the safest medications to ever hit the market. Unless one’s body is so overloaded with parasites that he or she experiences dramatic die-off symptoms from taking it, ivermectin is generally considered to be safe in most people.

“Decades of studies on the effects of ivermectin in humans show that it is very safe,” one commenter wrote.

Another noted that ivermectin won the 2015 Nobel Prize in Medicine for its effectiveness against certain types of parasites, scabies, lice and cancers.

It is also worth noting that Queen Elizabeth was given ivermectin as a treatment for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19):
