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!

cinnamon, ginger, tumeric

i take them with every meal to help digestion

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.

you might be low on b vitamins and potassium if you are getting leg cramps, also possibly dehydrated

I don't get them often at all. I cannot remember when I last had a problem with them. Probably after overdoing it with yard work so I probably was dehydrated and low on minerals and vitamins. I take a B complex and potassium now, so that may be why it has been a long time.

I remember one night having a cramp that just would not stay away. I'd just be drifting off to sleep when it would strikle again. Took half a quinine, cramp was history.

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.

the turmeric with black pepper combo works better for some than just straight turmeric.

usually if with food it shouldn’t be too much of an issue

Yep, they think they really got Trump this time, he’s killing himself just to prove he was right.

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.

The tonic water today doesn’t have much quinine in it.
