Both Curcumin and Ivermectin are anti parasitical.

Both act like zinc ionophores, opening the doors in the cells for zinc or other nutrients to kill the pathogen.

Less than 50%: Thus far polyphenolic molecules with strong zinc ionophoric activity in descending order include clioquinol (CQ), pyrithione (PT), epigallocatechin galate (EGCG), quercetin, curcumin, tannic acid and luteolin. The drug Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is also a zinc ionophore, while ivermectin (IVM) displays some characteristics of a zinc ionophore. Zinc is able to shut down the RNA dependent RNA Polymerase or replicase enzymes, thereby preventing corona virus replication. However, it must get past the cellular membrane in order to do so. Ionophores of zinc provide this possibility, which may help to prevent both infection by SARS-CoV-2 and other viruses, as well as the post viral syndrome known as long COVID.

Quercetin has desirable therapeutic characteristics which include immunomodulation, anti-inflammatory and antiviral capabilities, thrombin-inhibitory actions and strong antioxidant capacity (Di Pierro et al., 2021). Many of the Chinese medicinal herbs that are currently being employed as part of multimodal treatments for COVID-19 in China also contain quercetin in beneficial amounts (Luo et al., 2020), (Bensky & Gamble, 1993). When quercetin is combined with very large doses of vitamin C, its anti-inflammatory effects are increased, and with zinc added, the immunomodulatory effect may be strengthened via inhibition of RNA dependant RNA polymerase, which prevents covid viral replication (Pal et al., 2021). In addition to being well tolerated and lacking in any side effects, quercetin has also been shown to help ameliorate chronic fatigue and poor appetite, which may help to improve long COVID outcomes (Di Pierro et al., 2021).

Found the article finally on curcumin and zinc.


The studies and articles are on numerous items mainly because various nutrients do similar things.

Cururmin also repairs nerves.


I still don't know where its safe in Canada to get my hands on Ivermectin.
