This same doctor is involved with the work at the link I posted earlier which is about ivermectin. Here it is again.

Was that Sen. Ron Johnson's hearing? He presented all sorts of "alternative medicine" types. Good medicine is not done at congressional hearings, it is done by people who spend their lives in research and clinical medicine. This is a committee consensus, not just one person.
The only way you can prove whether something works is a double blind trial. This has, to the best of my knowledge, not been done. Until then I will take the consensus of the experts at the NIH. They have all the data (including his) at their fingertips.
I could tell you all sorts of stories of drugs that one or another doctor pushed, claiming it was a miracle cure. When tested, the results showed otherwise.
This is why double blind studies are required for approval of new drugs, as well as adding new indications for old ones. Before this was done, there were way too many ineffective drugs out there. Until there is actual data that the experts at NIH agree is sufficient, I am not buying it.
