Ivermectin discovery and backstory – definitely for the “Just Too Cool” file…

The more you read about Ivermectin, the cooler it gets.

It was discovered by a Japanese bacteriologist named Satoshi Ōmura in the 1960s as he was randomly collecting soil samples and culturing them to see what bacteria cropped up, and if there were any previously undiscovered, and if so, if they had any medicinal properties.

You know.  SCIENCE.

Well, sure enough, Streptomyces avermictilis, Omura named it, cropped up in a sample from his golf course outside of Tokyo. Its anti-parasitic properties were instantly identified by Merck, and it became, as this article says, one of the top-three all-time most important and essential drugs in human history, along with penicillin and aspirin. Over 3.7 billion doses have been dispensed to HUMANS so far, with not only no real side effects, but also no reduction in its efficacy.

The piece I’m going to reprint in full below was originally posted on November 21, ARSH 2019, before the CoronaScam religion was launched in the post-Christian west. This is important, because the piece doesn’t have any CoronaScam religious death-cult agenda over it. It’s just a neat story about a totally non-controversial drug, Ivermectin, and the article says nothing about Ivermecton’s ANTI-VIRAL properties – only its anti-parasitic efficacy. So when you are told by doctors and so-called public health officials that Ivermectin can’t be prescribed as a prophylactic or even as a treatment for the CoronaCold because “it isn’t safe” or “it’s unapproved”, you need to fully understand the depths of the truly evil and murderous mendacity behind that statement. Ivermectin is considered one of the Triumvirate of human drugs in the world today and has been for decades: P.I.A. Penicillin, Ivermectin, Aspirin.

Sit in stillness with the thought of Aspirin or Penicillin being discovered as a cure for… tuberculosis, or cancer, or… AIDS, and doctors and government monsters like Fauci saying, “No. You CANNOT have penicillin (or aspirin) to treat your cancer… because IT ISN’T “SAFE”. Guys, the analogy here is exact. Ivermectin has been dosed to humans ubiquitously in the third world as an anti-parasitic 3.7 BILLION times. No side effects. And it can’t be used in a so-called “pandemic” (eyeroll) because it isn’t SAFE? Meanwhile the DeathJab is basically a clotting inciter, healthy young people are stroking-out right and left, miscarriages right and left, and great-grandma is menstruating again. But they’ll look you in the eye and tell you that Ivermectin, the “I” in the P.I.A. Triumvirate, is “unsafe”.

Evil, lying, murderous, luciferian death-cultist bastards.

Final thought, on a positive note. The Streptomyces avermictilis bacterium has never been seen or cultivated in the wild since Omura’s golf course sample. Talk about the Divine Providence. Think about the odds. This bacterium just happened to be present in the exact spot on a golf course outside of Tokyo which just happened to be frequented by a man who just happened to be a bacteriologist, who just happened to be taking soil samples and just happened to collect in the exact place where Streptomyces avermictilis was patiently waiting, doing its bacterial thing.

And it just happens to be a cure for the common seasonal cold and influenza, exactly what the Freemasonic New World Order and Antichurch are using in their global totalitarian putsch and Antichurch construction project.

If you believe that is a coincidence, then you probably believe that influenza was miraculously globally eradicated overnight in April of ARSH 2020, and that Jorge Bergoglio is the Vicar of Christ.

Ivermectin: From Soil to Worms, and Beyond
21.11.2019

Adelaida Sarukhan , Scientific writer

The incredible story of the drug’s discovery, impact and possible future uses.

What do penicillin, aspirin and ivermectin have in common? Apart from the fact that they rhyme, all three belong to a very select group of drugs that can claim to have had the “greatest beneficial impact on the health and well-being of humanity”.

They have at least two other things in common: all three were found in nature and all three led to a Nobel prize. Aspirin is derived from salicin, a compound found in a variety of plants such as willow trees. Its use was first mentioned by Hippocrates in 400 BC, but was isolated only in 1829 as salicylic acid and synthesised some years later as acetylsalicylic acid. The discovery of the mechanisms underlying aspirin’s effects gave Sir John Vane the Nobel prize in 1982. Penicillin was isolated from mold that grew by accident on a Petri dish in Alexander Fleming’s laboratory. Its discovery changed the course of medicine, and earned Fleming the Nobel prize in 1945, which he shared with Howard Florey and Ernst Chain.

And this brings us to ivermectin- not likely a drug you will have in your first-aid kit, like aspirin or penicillin, but definitely a drug that has improved the lives of millions of people since its discovery in 1975.

The long journey of a Japanese soil sample

The story of how ivermectin was discovered is quite incredible. In the late 1960s, Satoshi Ōmura, a microbiologist at Tokyo’s Kitasako Institute, was hunting for new antibacterial compounds and started to collect thousands of soil samples from around Japan. He cultured bacteria from the samples, screened the cultures for medicinal potential, and sent them 10,000 km away to Merck Research Labs in New Jersey, where his collaborator, William Campbell, tested their effect against parasitic worms affecting livestock and other animals. One culture, derived from a soil sample collected near a golf course southwest of Tokyo, was remarkably effective against worms. The bacterium in the culture was a new species, and was baptised Streptomyces avermictilis. The active component, named avermectin, was chemically modified to increase its activity and its safety. The new compound, called ivermectin, was commercialised as a product for animal health in 1981 and soon became a top-selling veterinary drug in the world. Remarkably, despite decades of searching, S. avermictilis remains the only source of avermectin ever found.

Campbell urged his colleagues to study ivermectin as a potential treatment for onchocerciasis (also known as river blindness), a devastating disease caused by worms and transmitted by flies, that left millions of people blind, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa. The first clinical trials in Senegal showed that the treatment worked, and ivermectin was approved for human use in 1987. Since then, more than 3.7 billion doses (donated by Merck laboratories) have been distributed globally in mass drug administration campaigns against onchocerciasis and lymphatic filariasis (another disease caused by worms, which causes severe swelling of limbs). The impact of ivermectin in decreasing the burden of these devastating diseases is immeasurable. Deservedly, Ōmura and Campbell won the Nobel prize for physiology and medicine in 2015 “for their discoveries concerning a novel therapy against infections caused by roundworm parasites” (they shared it with Youyou Tu, who discovered the antimalarial drug artemisinin). But ivermectin’s story of success does not end here.

A game-changing drug with many potential uses

Ivermectin, in fact, was the world’s first “endectocide” – a drug with activity against a wide variety of internal and external parasites, from nematodes to arthropods. It has also proved to be astonishingly safe for humans. This is because the drug acts by binding to special channels on the cell membrane (called glutamate-gated ion channels) that play a fundamental role in nematodes and insects. In mammals, however, the drug has no effect since the neurons expressing these channels are protected by the blood brain barrier. In addition to its high safety profile, no convincing evidence of drug resistance has been found to date among Onchocerca worms, despite 30 years of continued use and billions of doses administered.

All this explains why ivermectin is becoming increasingly attractive to treat other diseases in humans. For example, long-term treatment with ivermectin to control onchocerciasis was shown to reduce the prevalence of other parasitic worms called soil-transmitted helminths, which infect up to one fifth of the world’s population and are a major cause of malnutrition and growth impairment in children. Furthermore, ivermectin is very effective against Strongyloides, a roundworm that infects up to 35 million people every year. This has motivated studies – such as the STOP project led by ISGlobal – to test the efficacy of adding ivermectin to the current recommended treatment against these intestinal worms.

Ivermectin has also proved to be effective against external parasites such as head lice and the tiny Sarcoptes mite, which causes scabies (an itchy skin condition, of which there are 3oo million cases every year).

But that is not all. The observation that mosquitoes feeding on individuals treated with ivermectin have a shorter lifespan, inspired the innovative idea of using the drug as a “weapon” against malaria-transmitting mosquitoes. The BOHEMIA project, also led by ISGlobal, will test the impact of giving ivermectin to entire communities, and their livestock, on mosquito populations and malaria prevalence in two highly endemic areas for the disease.

Because of its impact, safety and versatility, ivermectin has earned the title of “wonder drug” among public health specialists. Treating entire communities with the drug could represent a safe and effective means of “hitting several birds with one stone”; in other words, reducing the prevalence of several disabling parasitic diseases and improving overall community health in the developing world. Whether ivermectin lives up to these great expectations, remains to be seen. Meanwhile, its trip from a Japanese sample soil to improving the lives of millions of people affected by parasitic worms, is definitely worth a story.

I’m founding a cocktail named after my second-favorite artist. Spread the word. “The Cimabue”

It is a tradition over in Italy to name cocktails (usually light cocktails involving fresh fruit juice) after master artists.

Well. My second-favorite artist after Guido Reni, Cimabue (pronounced CHEE-ma-BOO-ay), who was the master before Giotto, and was… spectacular, has no cocktail. So. Ann to the rescue.

The Cimabue:

Juice of a red grapefruit, freshly squeezed

Stout Splash of Cointreau

Top with any bubbly white: Prosecco, Franciacorta (Italian Champagne) or Champagne

And here’s the non-negotiable kicker:

Finish with salt, preferably freshly ground.

Remember, this is called the “Cimabue” (CHEE-ma-BOO-ay).

I have served it in both martini glasses and large flutes. Even a large format red glass with a stem would work well. And don’t forget the SALT!!!

FORTY YEARS APOSTATE. A new record for this space?

This note came attached to a “recurring donation profile setup” notification today.

It was by the grace of Blessed Mother Mary and your website that I returned to the Catholic Church after 40 years of apostasy. I originally came to your site for the investment information a while ago but stayed for the Catholic education. I have learned so much and am truly blessed to be a member of a nearby FSSP parish. Now I am praying for my other family members and children to revert/convert also.

Not 40 years of lukewarmness, backsliding, or even slumming with Protestants. Forty years of APOSTASY. As in a total denial of Christ. Now, back home, as simple as one good confession. Our Lord makes it so easy. Only WE make it hard.

Please, say a Hail Mary with a “St. Monica, pray for us” for the re-conversion of this person’s family, and if you can spare the 30 seconds, another for the FSSP priests and the parish where this person is.

THIS is why we get up, brush and floss the choppers, iron today’s dress, put on the tasteful ladylike war paint, put on a beautiful helmet-hat, go to Mass/Adoration, keep the house clean and ready for company, and do what we do. THAT IS the ARMOR of GOD, and THIS IS THE WAR. It has already started, and will never end until Our Lord returns in glory. Every day is a battle for souls.

Strive to be the kind of person that when you wake up the in morning, satan and the demons collectively groan, “Oh, shit. She’s up.” That’s the goal for those of us laynothings in the Church Militant. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Folks, we have an intercessor against the DeathJab: Blessed Theodore Romzha, executed by LETHAL INJECTION by the Communists

Dear Ann,

I propose Bl. Theodore Romzha as patron saint against the death jab. Bl. Theodore Romzha was a young Byzantine Catholic (Ruthenian) bishop who was opposed by the Communists and was put to death by lethal injection on the orders of Khruschev.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodore_Romzha

When men were men….

Blessed Romzha, pray for us!

How about some REALLY good news with regards to The Church? Fr. John Corapi is in a monastery, doing penance, and will die in prayer and repentant silence. This is the best possible outcome.

Full reportage here from RenewAmerica.com. Seriously folks, this is great news. Now the Corapi saga is finally put to bed in the worldly sense, and everyone should thank God, and move on.

The truth is, Fr. Corapi might be doing WAY more good and calling down far more graces upon this world, praying in penitential silence as a monk priest than he ever did being on EWTN and packing arenas. Seriously folks, the Divine Economy is unfathomable and largely hidden to our eyes.

Pray, as I do every day, for ALL fallen priests, especially those living in sickening public scandal, Fr. Thomas Williams (now of Breitbart) first among them. All priests will stand before Christ at their Particular Judgments AS PRIESTS, and bishops AS BISHOPS. It is a terrifying thought, which sadly, hardly any priests or bishops truly believe or take the least bit seriously. It seems that Fr. Corapi has. Thank God.


    I was told by the superior general of his order (SOLT), Father Peter Marsalek, back in 2016 as we were driving from the airport to speak at a Catholic parish that Father Corapi had reconciled with his order. He’s living the life of a monk in a monastery and has medical problems. He will never speak in public again—by his choice and his superior’s choice as well.

    I’m a friend of Father Corapi. He told me he wanted to end his life as a monk and he’s now living out his express desires. This is where he saw himself in his senior years: full-time prayer and penance.

    There are some who say, “What a hypocrite; he didn’t live what he preached.” The Holy Bible makes it very clear that none of us are perfect. We are all sinners in need of God’s mercy.

    Psalm 129:3-4, If thou, O Lord, wilt mark iniquities: Lord, who shall stand it. For with thee there is merciful forgiveness: and by reason of thy law, I have waited for thee, O Lord. My soul hath relied on his word.

    In other words, if God judged all our actions based on strict justice, we would all be going to hell. But God is merciful to those who repent. Father Corapi has repented and lives the life of a monk, praying and doing penance for his sins and the sins of the world.

    Virgin most powerful, pray for him.
