Aren't the Japanese looking into Ivermectin for the same purpose and are having positive results? Sure I read a paper on it somewhere.

I found it interesting how an anti-parasitic drug was so successful in treating covid patients, given covid is a relative of the common cold; now it's showing promise in curing cancer.
It makes me wonder how diseases really operate in the host - or maybe medications don't work the way scientists think they do.
I remember reading many years ago about a study that showed exposure to canine distemper seemed to increase the risk of multiple sclerosis.
As science puts all their efforts into finding new drugs and running trials to assess their effectiveness I wonder if they're overlooking some very important pieces to the puzzle. The fact that anti-parasitic drugs seem to show promise for totally unrelated illnesses might suggest that entryway for disease might start with something as benign as a harmless parasitic infection.
Perhaps scientists' tendency to overthink things makes the solution far more complex than it needs to be.

In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), A. annua is prepared with hot water to treat fever.[8][23] Due to duplication in ancient TCM sources, A. annua is more commonly referred to as qinghao (Chinese: 青蒿; pinyin: qīnghāo), the modern Chinese name for Artemisia carvifolia, as opposed to its current Chinese name huanghuahao.[37
Extracts of leaf, stem, and seed, as well as herbal oils, are being used in the cosmetic industry. These ingredients can be found in serums, shampoos, lotions, hand and eye creams, tonics, and masks. The products are touted as having protective and cleansing abilities, as well as moisturizing the skin and providing antioxidants. Due to its strong scent and large foliage production, dried wreaths are also popular.2 However, the plant can cause allergic reactions, such as headaches.
Mebendazole in Treating Patients with Recurrent, Refractory, or Progressive Pediatric Brain Tumors
This phase I clinical trial studies the side effects and best dose of mebendazole in treating patients with pediatric brain tumors that have come back (recurrent) or have not responded to treatment (refractory). Mebendazole is used to treat parasitic infections and may slow the growth of tumor cells by interfering with cell structure and preventing new tumor blood vessels from forming.
