So, in the meantime if you happen to be ambitious enough you may be able to concoct your own Quinine in a few simple steps.
In the kitchen, all you need is a pot on the stove. And some grapefruit peels. Quinine â as in âtonic with quinineâ â can be made from boiling the rinds of a couple ripe grapefruits under a few inches of water, letting it evaporate against a glass-topped pot; simmering that airtight for two hours, then recover all the liquid once it cools. Voila.
A process very similar to making a tincture, in this case using hot water to extract the medicinal component from the grapefruit rinds.
Sweeten with honey; take a tablespoon every few hours to bring up the phlegm. Or, pour a cup of it, sweeten liberally, mix with OJ or drink as tea. Swallow some zinc pills, it mainlines the quinine straight into your cells. (Or, for the gentlemen, mix it with seltzer water, and take it with your favorite gin.) Forget the store bought âtonicâ, even if it weren't so fake, you'd need a dozen liters a day to get the effect.
But think back to when âgin and tonicâ was in its heyday, 1800s India, where the combo dulled the senses, but also fought off malaria.

Now you're talking, also we can boil lemon to the same effect.I like to boil half a grapefruit peeling and breath in the steam directly into my lungs. I drink the soup made from the peeling while eating the raw meat of the grapefruit and eating the boiled peeling. 6 to 8 ounces of red grapefruit meat twice a day for zinc. There's ntons of vitamin C in this setup, Quinine and stuff. It will get rid of the flu, been using it for years. Its amazing it can be used for this Frankenstein Sickness of Corona.

You're so right about the grapefruit! And can add a lemon, too. Ten times the amount of Vitamin C in the lemon peel than the pulp! Also can freeze a lemon, then thaw a bit and cut up into inch size bites. This will eradicate cancer if the bites are eaten everyday. The lemon alkalizes the body and germs and cancer (think pathogens) cannot survive in an alkalized body. Acidity in the body causes hosts of ailments and dis-ease, disease. And apply magnesium oil to the skin or soak in Epsom salts (magnesium) as is needed in each cell in the body. Relaxes your muscles so you don't suffer pain. Calcium contracts the muscles (and causes pain). Magnesium is the “Master” of all minerals! Nothing works w/o this mineral. Everyone needs mg everyday! To be healthy! Necessity for heart health, after all the heart is a muscle and never rests like our other muscles. Mg deficiency is responsible for headaches, migraines, arthritis, and host of other illnesses!
