Inspectors from Health Canada recently seized ivermectin from a Kelowna, B.C., wellness clinic owned by Svetlana Rilkoff, a former nurse who claims the drug heals cancer. <\/p>\n
Rilkoff shared video of the Oct. 30 seizure from Ezra Healing on social media, characterizing the incident as \u201cstealing\u201d by employees of \u201c(death) Canada.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cThey want to take away all my ivermectin that\u2019s healing cancer and vaccine injuries,\u201d Rilkoff says in the recording. \u201cThis is our country. This is the state of our country.\u201d <\/p>\n
In a news release issued the day after the seizure, Ezra Healing claimed approximately C$200,000 in products had been taken from the business, and warned customers there could be delays in receiving their purchases.<\/p>\n
The clinic\u2019s website lists \u201cVitamin I\u201d\u2014also labelled \u201civer,\u201d with no further description\u2014at C$173 for 100 12-milligram tabs. <\/p>\n
Claims that ivermectin can treat cancer prompted a public statement<\/a> from the Canadian Cancer Society earlier this year, which noted such uses are \u201cnot scientifically proven.\u201d <\/p>\n During Joe Rogan\u2019s podcast on January 9, Mel Gibson promoted drugs that are not scientifically proven cancer treatments. Misinformation on cancer treatment is dangerous, cruel, irresponsible and gives false hope to people with cancer and their loved ones.<\/p>\n Researchers around the\u2026<\/p>\n
