"Growing up in the jungles of Brazil during the 1950s, I contacted malaria many times. Quinine always got rid of the malaria, but the malaria would return almost routinely in six weeks. Sometimes I would reduce my dose if ringing in the ears occurred, and the ringing in the ears would always go away. I am 72 years old now, healthy, with no signs of ototoxity. Except for the pulmonary problems and the shakes, malaria mimicked the COVD-19. Presently, I make my own quinine from the cinchona bark, during this time. Does it help with the COVD-19? I have no idea, but at my age, and since I work in a hospital that cares for victims of COVD-19, I’ll continue taking it. If I’m home, I don’t take any, but When I go back to work, I resume taking the quinine. I know it kills the plasmodium but don’t know if it has any effect on viruses, other than acting as its anti-inflammatory affects. Thanks."
