Tonic concentrates have been out there for a long time.
Amazon
New formula. There is no mercury content
I’m looking forward to them being more widely available, as available as those stupid, dangerous energy drinks one can get at a gas station convenience store.
Schweppes Tonic Water.
I got some, but it has corn syrup which makes me sick, but I’ll take it if I get the virus.
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
I drink tonic water all the time — but diet. I love it.
I remember some stuff called Musterole salve. Wild!
My grandmother used Bromo-Seltzer for lots of “medical” issues. Is that quinine?
“Mercurochrome was no longer available when i went looking for some a few years ago.”
Really? That was good stuff!
“In 2006 the first “new” monopoly that was created by this FDA process was for the malaria drug quinine sulfate.

ahhh
Bromo Quinine, a cousin of Bromo seltzer used to be on the shelf.
#28 My grandmother used Bromo-Seltzer for lots of medical issues.
My grandmother drank whisky for what ailed her.
After a couple of shots she was feeling no pain.... : )
Tonic water is the most available. They usually contain a lot of sugar to cut the bitterness.
FDA limits quinine to 83mg/L in tonic waters.
Although not a therapeutic dose, if you take it with a normal zinc supplement you will be accomplishing some prophylactic benefits with safety.
Like Jarts, the current stuff sold as Mercurochrome bears little resemblance to the real thing.
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.
Radiation from Little Boy.
Don’t know. Maybe the fallout clouds both drifted in their direction. Regardless, if the bombs hadn’t fallen, I probably wouldn’t be writing this.
All anti Trump news reports are Unproven and Anedoctal!
Its touching, how concerned the mediots are for the Presidents well being. /s 48 posted on 5/18/2020, 4:03:57 PM by pepsi_junkie
Mediots have a severe Never Trump Moment, when President says that he has been taking hydroxychloroquine for close to 2 weeks and is still alive.
