Well I sincerely apologize if I broke any forum rules of which I was not aware. I would not have persued it if one of the other moderators had not liked my post when I first mentioned it but instead said that discussion of supplements or medicinal properties of food and drink are against forum...

Ok, No problem. You asked me a question in your post so I answered you honestly. I said I would not and have not suggested anything additional helpful in regards to diet etc.

I never said anybody SHOULD take anything. And I never mentioned pills unless one considers a LOW DOSE zinc supplement a pill. I summarised and aggregated research, readily available to anyone if they care to look.......Thought it might help.

I was referencing other situations like a ketogenic diet for diabetes for example. Not saying im any medical genius or any smarter than anyone else. Its just ive read alot of literature/ studies that others may not have due to having several chronic conditions that I have been able to cure by...

Ok, no problem. Just thought I might be able to help friends from un necessary suffering or perhaps worse in light of the current situation. Even though nutrition and medicine are one of my life long interests and areas of study I wont refrence them again. It will be difficult when someone here...

Ok, thanks Mike but just to be clear what I said was that a couple tonic waters and a good multi vitamin with zinc etc. might be helpful. Feel like people are taking what I said and really going off the deep end with it.

If I could just give a corollary example. I don't think suggesting that blue cheese might be helpful with certain digestive conditions, which it is, would somehow constitute medical advice because it contains a very small amount of penecilim mold. I certainly didn't think I was giving medical...

Ok...........that wasn't exactly the response I was expecting for researching a couple common dietary items that might help people here. 3 vitamins and a type of soda pop........sometimes food is the best medicine as they say.......I always feel compelled to help friends in time of need but fair...

Let me be clear. I certainly wouldn't advocate taking a madicinal dose of quinine without seeing a doctor. However, I don't think a couple tonic waters a day, maybe just until this thing is over( unless you really like it) is likely to have any negative affects and by all indications appears...

True but a few tonic waters a day is very unlikely result in those side effects. Ive never heard of it and lots of people drink it. And like I said it appears that even a small dose should be helpful to inhibit viral replication. Ive been tipping back 4 or 5 a day since last week( so 40 or 50mg)...

If I remember right, I'll double check and report back. The dosage of quinine for malaria was typically 300mg. A typical 4oz tonic water will give you about 10 mg. The mechanism of action is a little lengthy to discribe here but my impression was that it was not subject to a efective dose band...

After more research...... chloroquine is in fact a synthetic darivitive of quinine with the same mechanism of action. In a trial in South Korea 8 of 12 people treated with chloroquine were rid of the Covid19 virus after 6 days. In the placebo control group 2 out of 12 were rid of it in 6 days...

It can't remain viable as long in higher temperatures. It's a progressive scale.

Because the casing( can't think of the proper term right now) that encapsulates the virus degrades much quicker in higher temperatures.

Just heard on the radio that there is a civil liberties protest in LA. Basically saying the government has no right to impose these results...............incredible.
