It's really quite scary how many people will believe claims from someone who has no qualifications on the subject just because they are an influencer. Ivermectin works on mites and other parasitic animals by paralyzing their muscles. Following this logic, it would be analogous to claiming that benzodiazepines cured my friend's broken limb.

Fwiw, certain trained professionals who are licensed to practice recommend ivermectin in certain situations.

Methyl blue I heard one talking about how it's interesting and they are evaluating it.

The ones I know are rabid leftists, who hate Trump, fwiw

Well at least methylene blue is harmless. I used to put it in my coworker's coffee to turn their piss blue.

Harmless or not, making other people unknowingly ingest substances is NOT OKAY

You don't know anything about the relationship. If my best friend had done that at work back in the day, I'd laugh. "Mother fucker gonna pay on this."

What's up with Mel? Does he have Parkinson's or something similar? Or is he just strung out on cocaine? He was insanely, constantly twitchy the whole interview.

Probably something to do with all that ivermectin.

We need to get Joe Rogan to think the key to eternal youth is uranium glass butt plugs

It is wild how they just jump from one thing to other mentioning things at random. "I know this guy who can point his finger at you and you will feel it, because you know... how did they build the pyramids?? This thing is like quantum physics".
Is this the effects of too much ivermectin?

I am completely fine with the gullible killing themselves off. Why stand in their way.

I'm not defending idiots saying it cures cancer, but people dismissively calling ivermectin a "horse dewormer" when it's approved for human use for all sorts of parasitic diseases is something that grinds my gears. It actually is something of a wonder drug, just not for what these idiots keep claiming.

Methylene blue is an approved drug too, (the first synthetic drug, coincidentally) it's used for cyanide poisoning amongst other things. It's also a MAOI, which makes it dangerous to take with a bunch of common medicines.

Same with ketamine, horse tranquilizer. Also a powerful fast acting anti depressent among a other very positive qualities

The fun fact about Methylene Blue that always is a hit with students is it also turns your pee a green/blue-green color.

I’d probably just nod, too until the crazy old man went away.

Yeah, while I don't doubt Rogan would swallow it hook, line and sinker; just nodding along is what most people would do with someone that's a guest but batshit crazy.

Remember that nobody is protected against conspiracy theories. This shit is going everywhere.
