With the third Covid19 wave spreading quickly, we are seeing more discussion around ivermectin, and it's use as a treatment, so we thought it prudent to share our thinking as doctors. While it is controversial, our reading of the literature is that ivermectin is effective. We are however, very concerned that it is being used inappropriately and without medical supervision. We are also VERY CONCERNED that there seems to be a huge amount of fake drugs out there and we DISCOURAGE people from using anything they have not sourced from a reliable pharmacy. We do use it as part of our treatment protocols, where we feel it appropriate after a thorough consultation.
Please feel free to book a virtual consultation via our website, should you feel Covid symptoms, and be looking for treatment.
Stay safe people.

We are THRILLED to welcome Dr Charissa Stannard to our practice! Dr Charissa graduated from Wits in 2017 before completing her two year internship at Job Shimankana Tabane Hospital in Rustenburg, and community service year at Bertha Gxowa Hospital in Germiston, where, as a medical officer, she was placed in the Paediatric department. It was here that her deep love for caring for children and babies flourished.

As a young, motivated doctor with a passion for holistic medicine and child health, Charissa believes “health” is a broad concept based on intricate connections between physical and mental well being, genetic factors, and our environments. She is looking forward to establishing meaningful relationships with her patients and addressing all aspects of their health.

When she's not working, Charissa dedicates as much time as possible to her family, being in nature and listening to good music.

8 reasons I choose an X-Static Silverguard mask.

Most importantly they’re breathable and don’t MIST UP MY GLASSES. The masks have a nose-bridge seal that prevents fogging of spectacles, but is strong enough to hold the mask up over the bridge of the nose, even while I’m talking...

Our own Dr Paul Freinkel recently appeared on M-net, Carte Blanche's "Ivermectin - Silver Bullet or False Hope" documentary. You can see it (and him) at the link below. The points he makes are:

- Like any drug, Ivermectin is not without it's complications
- Like any drug, the benefits must always outweigh the risks
- With Ivermectin, the potential benefit, as far as the data shows us (and it is incomplete) far outweighs the risk, if used correctly.
- It now seems that the opposing parties on the use of Ivermectin are coming closer and are ready to allow doctors to decide, "what's the harm?", which is what doctors are trained to do, "on the balance of probability, is it going to help, and is it safe?"
Share your thoughts with us.
