After 28 Days on Ventilator, Family Loses Legal Battle to Try Ivermectin, Other Alternative Treatments, for Dying Father
The U.S. Food and Drug Adminstration has warned against taking ivermectin for COVID-19, because it is "horse medication." However, ivermectin packaged for human use as shown here has been widely prescribed for decades for a range of maladies, including for treatment of lice, other parasites and viruses.

A Florida family fighting to give their loved one on a ventilator alternative treatments for COVID-19 have lost another battle—this time in Florida’s 1st District Court of Appeal.

The wife and son of Daniel Pisano first squared off against Mayo Clinic Florida at an emergency hearing on Dec. 30, 2021, in Florida’s 4th Judicial Circuit. Before that, they'd begged the hospital to allow them to try treating Pisano—who’s been on a ventilator for 28 days—with the drug ivermectin, along with a mix of other drugs and supplements, as part of a protocol recommended by the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC).
