Quinine is used to treat Malaria. Lyme is a Malaria-like disease. Could you heal yourself by drinking Quinine every day?

I took quinine for babesia... not sure I would want to do that again.

I think the quinine water could be an asset if you have babesia, not lyme.

I have Lyme, Bart and Babesia. I looked at Walmart. They have tonic water that has Quinine in it. I've been drinking about 1/2 cup a day.

Only babesia is malaria-like. Lyme is actually a bacteria.

I found it helpful. I used brands that had natural, herbal quinine.

Discount brands can have less quinine than name brands because quinine is the more expensive part of making it.

I think it could be helpful too, take it carefully (you can't take too much of it).

I think I took it for babesia (when rain tree was selling it).

But as with all herbs / therapies against babesia: it won't work as a monotherapy. I

n my opinion, nothing works as monotherapy against babesia (unless you have a low grade infection).

What helped my babesia in the past was cardamon in powder, artemisia anua whole herb, sometimes other funny herbs (I think gervao helped), noni tincture.

Muscle tests are needed, and constant change of herbs, so that babesia cannot evade the immune system and treatments.

Yes, as long as you are referring to quinine WATER.

I take quinine for muscle cramps.

I can't say it has done much for my overall Lyme or babesia syx. I have taken it while taking many other babesia herbs and meds and still never noticed much.

It's not even that great against the cramps, but any tiny bit of relief is welcome.
