Use of Chloroquine, Hydroxychloroquine, Mefloquine, Quinine, and Related Quinoline Drugs Risks Sudden and Lasting Neuropsychiatric Effects from Idiosyncratic Neurotoxicity
The Quinism Foundation has warned of a risk of sudden and lasting neuropsychiatric effects from the use of antimalarial quinolines against COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, and has urged policy makers, physicians, and members of the public to be alert to such effects.
“The same endosomotropic properties that likely underlie the effectiveness of quinoline antimalarial drugs such as chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine against the virus may also underlie their dangers, ” said Dr. Remington Nevin, MD, MPH, DrPH, a Johns-Hopkins trained psychiatric epidemiologist and drug safety expert and former U.S.
Army public health physician, who now serves as Executive Director of The Quinism Foundation. “These are not safe drugs.”“In susceptible individuals, these drugs act as idiosyncratic neurotoxicants, potentially causing irreversible brain and brainstem dysfunction, even when used at relatively low doses,” said Dr. Nevin.
“This drug-induced dysfunction causes a disease of the brain and brainstem called quinoline encephalopathy, or quinism, which can be marked acutely by psychosis, confusion, and risk of suicide, and by lasting psychiatric and neurological" symptoms.
“Symptoms of chronic quinoline encephalopathy include tinnitus, dizziness, vertigo, paresthesias, visual disturbances, nightmares, insomnia, anxiety, agoraphobia, paranoia, cognitive dysfunction, depression, personality change, and suicidal thoughts, among others, ” said Dr. Nevin.
“Particularly among military veterans, in whom these drugs have been widely used for decades as prophylactic antimalarials, these symptoms can mimic and be mistaken for those of post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury.”

Ok - so only use if you’re gonna die - got it.
And that’s why the FDA is in the loop with the expedited trials that are going on.
Oh well then, better to risk dying from the Wuhan virus, right?
Please read. May have some problems with the quinine method.
Geesh, when I first read that I thought it said “Q Foundation”
!
“Symptoms of chronic quinoline encephalopathy include tinnitus, dizziness, vertigo, paresthesias, visual disturbances, nightmares, insomnia, anxiety, agoraphobia, paranoia, cognitive dysfunction, depression, personality change, and suicidal thoughts, among others, ”
Gee...that sounds just like the communist DNC Convention with PedoJoe at the steering wheel....
Libs are a virus...the Demovirus!!!
Right on schedule.
6 days of therapeutic use are going to be as bad as however long on it as a bug prophylactic?
I learned that they have a foundation for pretty much everything. They didn't list the percentages of people who took it long term that had problems. I didn't see any short tern usage numbers either.
So typical that the “cures” and reactions are way much more the crisis.
My research has found that the addition of a little gin counteracts the negative properties of quinolines.
How come nobody mentioned this when I took it before going to India?
I took a full course so I wouldn’t get malaria. Nobody said shit.
Hmmm.... an anti-anti-malaria medicine foundation? I smell the stench of lawyers and lunatics in the air.
Important safety tip.
Use them only for treatment, not for long term preventative use.
Yep.
This is the same group who is trying to pin PTSD issues on chloroquine.

Never heard of this weird sounding foundation or whatever it is.
So if it is so dangerous why hasn’t it been pulled of the market?
Somethings fishy.
From the article, drinking several bottles of tonic water may lead to pharmaceutical levels of quinolones.
Now that I think of it it’s bout the same level of credibility
