quinine and tonic water- Patti

[Guest guest]

I wouldnt trust ANything from Lymenet these days due to a weird bias and the

lack of anyone overseeing a lot of crap.

anyway as for tonic water--it contains up to 15 mg quinine per BOTTLE?and

therapeutic ( medical) doses are 325 mg and higher so its doubtful it can help

even if you can bare taking several bottles a day ( youd probably need to

consume a nauseating 20 bottles a day)

plus itonic water?can cause tinnitus and is BAD during pregancy for many

reasons.

and just because the larger doses of quinine are effective sometimes for Malaria

( there are now many resistant strains) doeasnt make the drug quinine effective

for Babs or other TBDs--let alone the TINY doses in tonic water

and be aware many so called tonic waters dont even use that much quinine as the

cinchona bark isnt any longer as easily available and its expensive too. the

tonic mostly is flavorings that mimic the bitterness of the quinine.

did anyone on lymenet bother to post that???

google tonic water warnings, quinine side effects etc before even considering

it. The youll have to see which brands even have enough of the quinine still

there, if ANY, and then try to con sume the large qwuantities.

be well abd be safe
