Pres. Trump just announced he has been taking hydroxychloroquine for about 10 days as a preventive. The press will go NUTS! If I were accused of 'killing' people who took drain cleaner, etc. I'd do the same thing just to shut them up! It won't but the man WALKS his TALK!

i was shocked to find out that Mercurochrome was no longer available when i went looking for some a few years ago.

cinnamon, ginger, tumeric

are all anti-inflammatory and all mild antibiotics

i take them with every meal to help digestion

they are also great aids for digestion and gut health, especially if you have bowel issues that involve inflammtion of the tissues

Hopefully, some people soon will develop tonic waters infused with quinine and other medicinal plant extracts and vitamins that are enhanced with natural flavors and actually taste good.

People can make a lot of money growing the plants, formulating them, mixing up the beverage, distributing it, and selling it.

I still have a few quinine tablets lying around from an old prescription. I take them (rarely) for leg cramps.

They are going NUTS over at the DUmp. Very funny!

You can get all the quinine you want if you drink gin and tonics. That’s why the British soldiers started mixing tonic with gin. They were given the tonic to ward of malaria while on duty in India.

The gin made it taste better.

Schweppes Tonic Water.

Schweppes Tonic Water combines carbonated water with bittersweet quinine and is caffeine free. Make Schweppes Tonic Water your go to mixer for cocktails or enjoy as a soft drink alternative. Live excellently with the classic taste of Schweppes Tonic Water.

My maternal grandmother extolled the amazing healing qualities of Pentro Salve . . . can’t find it any more. Very much like Vick’s salve . . . I figure they might have bought the rights and retired the competing product

My grandmother used Bromo-Seltzer for lots of “medical” issues. Is that quinine?

“In 2006 the first “new” monopoly that was created by this FDA process was for the malaria drug quinine sulfate.

At around the same time colcrys, a treatment for gout went from few cents per pill to several dollars. Wonder who got rich off of that.

[Baldwin77]

There is quinine in tonic water.

[JimRed]

Bromo Quinine, a cousin of Bromo seltzer used to be on the shelf.

[Sasparilla]

Years ago my Dad told me that he & everyone else took quinine when he was in the South Pacific to prevent malaria. Coincidentally, all the men in his field artillery battery that he kept in contact with went bald in the immediate years following returning home. Hmmmm.
