It’s a private company in the “health and wellness” industry. Basically modern day snake oil salesmen that convince vulnerable (or stupid) people that “big pharma” is evil and giving you cancer or whatever, while the mystery pill they’re peddling will cure anything that ails you. It typically comes with a hefty price tag, lots of sales pressure, and zero evidence to back it up.
Edit: I’m having a bad day so I am elaborating: oftentimes they reeeeeally don’t consider there’s literally a world out there and the internet is connected to that world and some information can be totally confusing because it’s so US centric.
It’s purposefully worded that way to be misleading, even to native speakers. Explicitly calling something medicine or a cure means it would have to be tested and regulated. However, labeling something as being for wellness isn’t covered by that, and is just vague enough to have people think positively about it. That’s not saying that there aren’t beneficial things labeled under wellness; roughly speaking though, it’s can be used to sell whatever you want, while making people assume it’s actively good for them.
Because obviously deworming meds will take care of symptoms that are linked to the lung/throat/breathing area (don’t know the medical term for the area)
AFAIK there was a correlation in some countries between COVID outcome and deworming meds. In those countries people actually had worms, which weakened the immune system, so taking deworming meds in the end helped with COVID by removing the worms. Obviously it doesn’t do shit if you don’t have worms.

The term you’re looking for is respiratory system, although COVID wasn’t just a respiratory disease.
I’m guessing the paramedics called him a fucking idiot and he didn’t like that so he wants someone to tell him how close he was to the truth so he can go right back to dosin up on dewormer and cat shit.
"Ivermectin and mebendazole are both antiparasitic medications. While used for treating worms, combining high doses, such as those often discussed in off-label contexts, is controversial and frequently marketed without clinical backing.
"Standard antiparasitic regimens are dosed by weight or specific infection type, often as single or short-term oral doses. The FDA-approved dosages for these drugs are established to treat specific parasitic infections.
“High-dose combinations of ivermectin and mebendazole, sometimes compounded by specialty pharmacies, have surfaced online as an unproven, off-label regimen, including claims regarding cancer therapy. Medical and oncology associations strongly advise against using these antiparasitic drugs as a cancer treatment, as there is no established clinical evidence of their safety or effectiveness for this purpose.”
– In the UK Ivermectin is only prescribed at 3mg and Mebendazole at 100mg, implying that this is a ridiculous dosage, even if one does have worms.
I don’t get it.
This guy is taking medical advice from conspiracy theorists for COVID. he ODed on dewormer meds and is posting from.the inside of the ambulance
See, I’m not a native speaker, so I thought a “wellness company” was something like a hospital.

Yeah this is kind of an US insider post.

Native speakers also confuse this and end up in the backs of ambulances.
Luckily I got warned first ;)
(I cracked a laugh with this, thanks)

That was it.
Yeah, but I’ll bet he doesn’t have horse worms anymore!

Why did you think anyone wanted to see copy-pasted AI slop? Why did you think that was an appropriate thing to post?
Yawn.
It’s information the user requested.
If they wanted results with effort they should’ve used their own ability to search.
You didn’t bother to write it, why should I bother to read it?
Oh, got it. Thanks!
