Horse deowermer and pickled garlic. This is the trick big pharma doesn't want you to know.

[–] meowmeowbeanz@sh.itjust.works 14 points 18 hours ago

Local dentists hate this one weird trick! (So does the FDA)

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 58 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If you believe in the medieval theory of toothaches being caused by tiny worms, it sounds a lot more reasonable.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I mean, they're not wrong. It's just the worms are REALLY tiny.

[–] Worx@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 4 hours ago

Everything is worms if you believe in string theory

Of the two famous horse drugs, why on earth did people gravitate towards ivermectin and not ketamine? Truly, we live in a dork world

[–] Majorllama@lemmy.world 58 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I have lost some family to ketamine. They are doing both don't you worry.

[–] rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm sincerely sorry for your loss. Drugs are a seductress, especially when things are so tough. I hope you're doing okay mate.

[–] Majorllama@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Oh I'm fine. I don't even drink anymore. I take the occasional edible, but because so many in my family struggle with or struggled with addiction I am careful not to take edibles too often and especially not if I am overly emotional in any way.

Nice for a fun day but bad to rely on to stay happy.

Because Ivermectin is far easier to get, and perversely, they don’t want ketamine because it actually does shit to you.

[–] justOnePersistentKbinPlease@fedia.io 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Because the rich fucks like Muskler want that precious ketamine all for themselves.

[–] rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Hasn't affected street prices, and I'd honestly rather be snorting that shit in a basement with my mates no matter what it's cut with than doing it in a bajillion USDollar penthouse alone like Musk does, the fuckin dork

[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 48 points 1 day ago (5 children)

There are people on nextdoor that constantly ask where they can source ivermectin, and raw milk has been popping up lately too. I just don't get it.

[–] stinerman@midwest.social 28 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

They want to feel smart so they seek out esoteric "knowledge".

[–] FabledAepitaph@lemmy.world 27 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

This basically sums up a lot of right-wing BS. They want the drama and excitement of plain-truth facts being incorrect in the face of exciting convoluted conspiracy theories that nobody can prove.

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 2 points 19 hours ago

Because the stuff that's actually exciting and unknown, flies miles above their heads.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 8 points 19 hours ago

Natural selection is back from its holiday.

[–] Nomecks@lemmy.ca 5 points 19 hours ago

It's just the gene pool cleaning itself

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 7 points 23 hours ago

Try to find out where they live.

America is barreling toward a bird-flu pandemic and they're turning the headlights out on the clown car for safety in the dark.

So, estate sale coming. Cheap house.

(I kid, I kid)

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

Mix up a 5 gallon bucket of malt powder and whatever liquids you have laying around the garage and sell it to them as "stabilized " raw milk, no refrigeration required.

[–] m_f@discuss.online 83 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Guy might have worms or parasites. There were some studies that showed a weak correlation between ivermectin and better COVID-19 outcomes, but it turns out that only studies from third world countries showed even that weak effect, and yeah if you get rid of other problems like parasites, the body can fight off COVID-19 better.

Article talking about the studies, and HN comments

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 hours ago

I read one story of a guy who swore Ivermectin saved him from Covid. He's completely cured now thanks to horse dewormer with no lasting effects.

(Except for losing half his lung capacity). But it prevented all bad covid issues, flawlessly perfect outcome!

[–] Darkard@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Or maybe it's totally made up bullshit?

All it's missing is "and then everyone clapped" at the end.

[–] m_f@discuss.online 23 points 1 day ago

Oh totally that's the more likely explanation. My point is that even steelmanning the argument, it's still wrong.

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 43 points 1 day ago (3 children)

The rural South gobbles that shit up.

I've literally talked to doctors and nurses here who believe this nonsense. Not just a few. It's a very common sentiment.

What do you do when you don't feel like you're safe in their hands? Get into herbal/folk/witchcraft remedies?

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] burgersc12@mander.xyz 20 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You make it sound so simple

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

It's not, ask any migrant

While fermented garlic and honey are actually pretty good for you, (probiotics from fermentation, certain anti-microbial properties of both garlic and honey, etc), it's not actual medicine.

Home remedies are great at making you feel a bit better while your body fights something off but they're no substitute for medicine to actually help your body fight off your infection.

I'll swear by hot tea, honey, lemon with a splash of some kind of liquor and some chicken noodle soup when dealing with a sore throat but I'm also taking cough medicine to actually manage the symptoms in addition to those home remedies.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

probiotics from fermentation

anti-microbial properties

These two things aren't really compatible with each other.

[–] blackbelt352@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Reason I said "certain anti-microbial properties". Both honey and garlic are able to slow the growth of some not so great bacteria like botulism for fermentation while also promoting the growth of good bacteria like lactobacillus.

[–] neatchee@lemmy.world 6 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

Mint for nausea

Honey for soar throat

Antibiotics for fucking infections

[–] electricyarn@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

Maybe these people all have parasites?

[–] MeatPilot@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What's worse is people who see this and praise it instead of calling them out.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 day ago

Get them out of the gene pool faster

[–] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

Medicine for people who steal their dog’s xanax

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago

Guy just loves garlic.

I do too.

Please give me more of said witchcraft.

[–] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

@BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world you consistently bring us top notch stupidity, and for that I am extremely grateful.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You are most welcome. I can't believe how stupid these people are.

From the same species that invented space crafts and laser-based communications.

[–] federalreverse@feddit.org 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sounds like something the AI cookbook would give you.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 hours ago

Fermented honey-garlic legit rocks. It goes well with everything. Now, I've never tried it with horse dewormer, but who knows.

[–] FireWire400@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Alternatively you could just go to the dentist.... oh wait... no, you probably can't

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

And then everyone clapped

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How about dentistrycraft ?

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

What? Do you believe in dentists?!

No, deworming drugs are the way to go to improve your dental health. What do you think dentists do? It's certainly not that.

(\s obviously, but if somebody needed me to point, it's here.)

Pretty sure that’s just a jar of literal poop water
