Comments on: Doctor Suspended for Use of Ivermectin to Treat COVID-19 https://stluciastar.com/doctor-suspended-for-use-of-ivermectin-to-treat-covid-19/ Bringing the Truth to Light Sun, 12 Dec 2021 05:17:10 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 By: Dr. Stephenson Tomlinson https://stluciastar.com/doctor-suspended-for-use-of-ivermectin-to-treat-covid-19/#comment-96238 Sun, 12 Dec 2021 05:17:10 +0000 https://stluciastar.com/?p=86143#comment-96238 I am a member of the medical profession having obtained the FRCS ( Gladgow ) decades ago and knowing how beneficial Ivermectin is, especially when given in the early course of Covid-19, I am appalled by the action taken by the MDC in St. Lucia. Since the outbreak of Covid-19 in the Cayman Islands, I have treated hundreds of patients with Covid-19 with Ivermectin and they have all recovered in record time, none has died of even required hospitalization.

Ivermectin treatment for Covid-19 is now supported by at least 120 studies, 73 of which have been peer-reviewed. This includes 67 controlled trials with a total of 26,969 patients and 37 Randomized Controlled Trials. Of these reports only one, I understand, has been retracted by the Editor-in-Chief but not by its authors.

Here are a few of the articles which may be accessed on:

And there are many more……..

Happy reading. I sure hoped by now that people throughout this region would have learnt from countries other than those in Europe and North America. Why is it that so many countries in Africa with the lowest vaccination rates and liberal use of Ivermectin are doing so well?

St. Lucia, please, reinstate her licence and she’ll save many lives. Doctors have treated many contagious diseases before, this one is no different. What we do best is treat patients, allow us to do so!!

I have been a colleague of the good Dr. since 1981 and I would trust her judgement and her actions which in my view are in the interest of the patient. Ivermectin if used properly is harmless, it is not a horse medicine, it is a human medicine and by all accounts not only from India and Peru and other countries, it works and saves lives even when used off label. I am disappointed with the medical body that takes this approach. An experienced licensed Physician should be respected enough not to be bullied in that way. Shame on them!!!

She made a decision to breach these rules knowing well she had no evidence to back her claim but the views of many other crack pot anti tax campaigners.
There is a standard procedure to evaluate treatment effectiveness and that she choose to ignore blatantly thus causing indirect harm to the many illiterate and ignorant who trust her.
It was time an example was made of individuals that know better and the effects of the word on the masses. Please to see the medical body has back bone.
