      I have a basic and big problem with that. My question is "how big is your filing cabinet?" How may physician groups tried Ivermectin, had it fail and didn't report the failure. Maybe hundreds. These little trials that are "positive" may represent just 5 percent of all trials.

      A lot of the trials are registered on http://clinicaltrials.ca.gov  so we know when they started. Plus, I have more faith in researchers than that. In a pandemic, knowing what doesn't work is as important as knowing what works - why would they not report? There's no money in ivermectin

      Normal psychology. Nobody wants to make an effort to report an experience that didn't live up to expectations. There must be hundreds and hundreds of physicians who "tried" Ivermectin; 3, 5, 8 times with no benefit & gave up. If they report, it is ignored. Why make the effort?

      I don't disagree with your other examples, but it seems like a study showing ivermectin doesn't work against covid would be a major contribution at this point in history. I guess I'm assuming most researchers believe in science

      Absolutely. I really think that the US should of had a large, (say 1,200 participant) study at multiple institutions, double blinded, RCT starting last summer. If they had 80 institutions they would have results in a month. Same for hydroxychloroquine alone and with zinc.

      No reason to do Gerson therapy, Laetrile, Lugol's solution, Oleandron, etc, etc. My opinion is that we should have "nipped rumors in the bud" and tested these few things that have divided people. We have decent physicians iin our country who swear by Iver. Why not a trial?

      You can find 40 to 50 studies on http://clinicaltrials.gov  on ivermectin. You can't find any on Gerson. If those 40 to 50 trials are worthless it would be nice if we had known that 4 months ago.

      Also, there were WAY more clinical trials on http://ClinicalTrials.gov  for #Hydroxychloroquine, and we know what happened with that drug. Will the story of #ivermectin have a different ending? It is certainly possible, but I also wouldn't bet more than a couple of bucks on it.

          Those trials are all worthless. They would not be there is a decent large trial was done in April and May, and shown that HCQ doesn't work. Instead, money is being spent on meaningless trials. Still wasting money. We could have saved money if a good trial was done early.

          I feel the same for Ivermectin, but it is probably too late. If the correct RCT was done in August / September, then (with presume neg results) there would be no meaningless trial, no Kory, etc.
