Ivermectin and Fenbendazole in the Treatment of Psoriasis? A Case Series of 13 Patients (2026)

-
Image
Abstract Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition affecting approximately 7.5 million individuals in the United States, with significant economic, physical, and psychological burdens. This case series reports on 13 patients who experienced notable improvements in psoriasis symptoms following treatment with ivermectin and/or fenbendazole, antiparasitic agents repurposed for this indication. Cases were derived from self-reported testimonials shared on social media platforms. Treatment durations ranged from 3 days to 3 months, with dosages varying between 6 mg ivermectin twice daily and combinations with fenbendazole. Rapid resolution of skin lesions was observed in most cases, with some achieving near-complete clearance. While these anecdotal reports suggest potential therapeutic efficacy, controlled clinical trials are warranted to validate these findings and elucidate underlying mechanisms. Introduction Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by hyperproliferation...

Quercetin and Bromelain for Allergies 2023

-
Image
More than 50 million Americans who live with seasonal allergies. These symptoms tend to crop up with the onset of tree allergy season, followed by grass and weed season, notes Kevin McGrath, MD, an allergist in private practice in Wethersfield, Connecticut, and spokesperson for the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology. "The combination of trees, grasses, weeds, and molds makes for a difficult spring for most allergy patients and leads to sneezing, congestion, postnasal drip, sinus pain and pressure, watery eyes, and fatigue," he says. The good news is that there are a myriad of over the counter treatments out there that help ease the debilitating symptoms that accompany seasonal allergies.   Related: Best Nasal Sprays for Allergies What is Quercetin and Bromelain?

Ozempic vs Wegovy vs Mounjaro vs Zepbound: Key Differences, Weight Loss Results & Which One Works Best in 2026

-
Image
The era of GLP-1 weight loss drugs is no longer emerging—it’s already dominating modern medicine. In less than five years, medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound have shifted obesity treatment from marginal success to clinically meaningful, double-digit weight loss backed by large-scale randomized trials . The numbers are not subtle. In pivotal studies, semaglutide (Wegovy) delivered ~15% average weight loss, while tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound) pushed results beyond 20%—approaching outcomes once only seen with bariatric surgery . At the same time, these drugs are showing cardiovascular risk reduction, improved glycemic control, and potential benefits across fatty liver disease, inflammation, and metabolic syndrome . Yet despite the hype, most comparisons online are superficial—and often misleading. These drugs are not interchangeable . They belong to different pharmacologic classes, target different hormone pathways, and produce meaningfully different outcomes in...

7 Best Cetylpyridinium Chloride Mouthwash Brands 2025

-
Image
A meta-analysis of 3 studies (C19early 2025) concluded that CPC (CetylPyridinium Chloride) may significantly lower risk with  viral clearance . One study shows significant benefit. Meta analysis using the most serious outcome reported shows 83% [6‑97%] lower risk . Results are consistent with early treatment being more effective than late treatment. A study, published in Nature ( Takeda 2022 ) concluded that CPC (CetylPyridinium Chloride) may inhibit SARS-CoV-2 infection even at lower concentrations. Another team of international scientists has also demonstrated the usefulness of cetylpyridinium chloride-containing mouthwashes in inhibiting severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and reducing the risk of viral transmission. The study is published in the Journal of Medical Microbiology (2022). A scientific review, published in the  Journal of Formosan Medical Association  (2022) also concluded that mouthwash containing CPC shows potential fo...

Best Vitamin D3 + K2 Supplements in 2026: Doctor-Reviewed Picks for Bone, Heart & Immune Health

-
Image
Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2 are two of the most commonly deficient—and misunderstood—nutrients today. While Vitamin D improves calcium absorption, Vitamin K2 determines where that calcium actually goes . That’s why taking Vitamin D without K2 may be incomplete—and in some cases counterproductive. After reviewing ingredient quality, dosing accuracy, brand transparency, and real-world user feedback, the following are the best Vitamin D3 + K2 supplements available in 2026 . Most people in the United States consume less than recommended amounts of vitamin D . An analysis of data from the 2017–2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) found that average daily vitamin D intakes from foods and beverages were 4.3 mcg in men, 3.8 mcg in women, and 5 mcg (200 IU) in children aged 2–19 years ( NHANES 2017 - 2018 ). Why Trust This Guide? This review prioritizes supplements that meet four non-negotiable criteria : Uses Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) — not D2 Includes Vitam...

Linoleic Acid vs Linolenic Acid: What's the Difference?

-
Image
Linoleic acid (LA) is an omega-6 fatty acid, while α-linolenic acid (ALA) is an omega-3 fatty acid. Both are the two essential fatty acids required in the diet. They help to support healthy metabolism, good cognitive function, and healthy skin and hair growth. This multipurpose compound is essential for healthy tissue and cell growth. What is Linoleic Acid? Linoleic acid, whose name is derived from the Greek words "linon," which means "flax," and "oleic," which means "produced from oil," is an unsaturated fat. Unsaturated fats are essential for encouraging cell regeneration and keeping skin smooth, elastic, and young-looking. Linoleic acid can be used on all skin types, but those with dry or acne-prone skin may find it most beneficial. Acne patients have been demonstrated to have reduced linoleic acid levels in their skin surface lipids. Is Gamma Linolenic Acid the Same as Linoleic Acid? Gamma linolenic acid, is produced in the body from linoleic...

Which vitamins and minerals should be taken together or separately - ConsumerLab

-
Image
How you take a supplement can be just as important as which product you take, both may impact how much of a nutrient your body actually gets. A few rules of thumb: If you take a large dose of a mineral, it will compete with other minerals to reduce their absorption.  The mineral most often taken in large amounts is  calcium : The dose is usually several hundred milligrams, compared to doses of just a few milligrams or even microgram amounts (1,000 micrograms = 1 milligram) of most other minerals. So if you take several hundred milligrams of calcium from a supplement, take it at a different time of day than other mineral supplements or a multivitamin/multimineral supplement. Doses of  magnesium  can also be relatively large and should, ideally, be taken apart from other minerals. If you take high doses of  zinc  long-term (50 mg or more per day for 10 weeks or longer ), be aware ...

Progesterone, Thyroid hormone T3, DHEA and Pregnenolone: The Four Hormones Most Adults Need More Of (2024)

-
In this interview below, repeat guest Georgi Dinkov and I discuss the four hormones most adults need more of if they want to optimize their health. In my introduction I mention that we will review the benefits and mechanisms of action of carbon dioxide (CO2), but that will be covered in Part 2 of this interview that will be posted in the next few weeks. As for hormones, if you’re optimally healthy, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is unnecessary, as your body will make whatever hormones you need. The problem is that very few people, including me, enjoy truly optimal health. We live in a very polluted world, so "optimal health" is a high bar for all of us. I take four hormones that I believe most adults can benefit from: Progesterone, thyroid hormone T3, DHEA and pregnenolone. Three of these, progesterone, DHEA and pregnenolone are available over-the-counter. Thyroid hormones, however, require a doctor’s prescription. You also need to get routine blood tests done (typicall...

9 Best Quercetin and Bromelain Supplements: Benefits and Reviews 2026

-
Image
What Is Quercetin? Quercetin is an antioxidant that belongs to a class of water-soluble plant substances called flavonoids, which are present in certain fruits and vegetables. According to an article in Current Research in Nutrition and Food Science, the bioavailability of quercetin absorbed by your body varies, depending on the source where you get it, as well as your individual body’s metabolism of it. Sugar and dietary fat and fiber also affect it. While the best way to get quercetin is through your diet, it also is available in supplement form, as pills or capsules. Sometimes, quercetin in supplement form is packaged with bromelain, an enzyme found in pineapples, because both have anti-inflammatory properties (Quercetin & Bromelain for inflammation). Most dietary supplements contain a chemical compound, aglycone, which is the free form of quercetin. When looking for and using quercetin supplements, it’s important to maintain a nutritious, ...
