Chemicals with similar properties that you can more easily get access to:

  • Quinine (tonic water & tonic syrup etc). Be careful, it has side effects in larger amounts that you don't want to come foul of

  • Berberin - this is present in things like Elderflower, Barberry, scotch thistles, red clover, etc

  • Ivermectin - animal parasite drenches. Be careful with dosage and products that contain active ingredients other than Ivermectin alone

Zinc ionophore quercetin is found in things like onions.

My list of things that have good science behind them for immune response and fighting viruses & respiratory viruses in particular looks like this, in order from easiest to hardest to acquire:

  • Vitamin D

  • Zinc

  • Selenium

  • Glutathione, or its precursor molecule, NAC

  • Quinine (tonic water)

  • Ivermectin

  • HCQ

Add high dose vitamin C.

Daily Recommendation I have from MD

  • 2-4oz Tonic water
  • 30mg zinc (more can be unhealthy &never over 50mg/dy)
  • vitamin D (2,000-10,000 IU)
  • vitamin C (ascorbic acid 3,000mg+)
  • lots of water

If you get the coof, up Vit C to 7,000mg daily. You'll get diarrhea on this amt, so drink more water. Your body WILL adjust.

Interesting. I've been on the fence about VitC because my understanding has been that you can't get high enough doses orally, only intravenously. I may grab some regardless...

Yeah, it's one of the best ways to chelate toxins from the body. The powdered version is best because you can add it to juice & your body doesn't have to work to break down a tablet. I use a dose of 7k-10k/dy, which is broken up into 3 doses. This + 1-2Tbsp food-grade diatomaceous earth cured my lifelong asthma & severe allergies. I've read about numerous people who've successfully cured their own cancer with high dose vitamin C. It's benefits are intentionally downplayed by mainstream "science." It's cheap & helps prevent & cure disease; big pharma no likey.

is there really enough quinine in tonic water to make a difference?

This is a good question that we lack sufficient evidence to draw firm conclusions on. One of the things that I've read to "debunk" the use of Quinine in tonic water is that to get the equivalent of 200mg of HCQ you'd have to drink a couple liters of the tonic water. But this presupposes that you actually require 200mg for effect against coronaviruses. Which we lack evidence of. What we do have is centuries of anecdotal evidence that quinoline compounds and their various analogs (berberin etc) are effective against viral infection. Elderberry has been used for a long, long time against influenza.

Ivermectin I can get from vet supplies stores without a prescription. I guess it will depend on your jurisdiction and local laws.
