A friend has just finished the 5 day protocol using tonic water because the clinic doctor was not aware of the Zelenko protocol.
Schwepps tonic water contains appx 80mg of quinine per liter. 3 liters= appx 240mg, just over one of the two daily doses of HCQ in the Zelenko protocol. Should have drunk 6 liters, but did have 220mg/day of zinc piccolinate lozenges. Used 10g/day of Vitamin C instead of z pack. It still worked.
On the 3rd day of tonic, vit c and 220mg zinc, smell and taste returned. The fatigue had gone within 24 hrs.
I can’t thank you enough for this post. I was wondering whether tonic water might work, and it appears it does. For the first time in quite a while, I found zinc lozenges at the local supermarket and bought some. I’m taking one daily, along with vitamin D, C, and Tumeric (for inflammation control).
Your friend can use the supplement Quercetin 500mg instead of trying to drink all of that tonic water!!
Daily supplements are as follows:
Vitamin C 1000mg 2x daily
50mg Zinc
500mg Quercetin
5000mg D3
600mg N-A-C
100mg K-2 (gets the D3 I to the cells)
