I hadn't ever heard of quinine. Looks like it has the added bonus of treating malaria should Kalamazoo be a high risk area for it. http://www.drugs.com/mtm/quinine.html
i like alka-seltzer but not enough to want to drink it all the time but i do like club soda, tonic water, and sparkling water. why not just take alka-seltzer every day or crush an aspirin? i take an aspirin everyday for my heart disease.
please let us know what you finally end up doing.
gin & tonics rock.

I've known this since I was born practically. My dad had reoccuring malaria that he got in WWII in the South Pacific. Whenever he got a bad cold or the flu, he'd go into the sweats and we'd have to get him 10grain quinine. You didn't need a prescription for it, but when I was in high school they started requiring a signature for it because it was being used to "cut" something - I forget if it was heroin or cocaine.........
I understand that the gin and tonic was invented to make sure
the British in India got enough quinine to keep away malaria.
This random bit of history brought to you by the letter Q, the
numer 126, and Vice Admiral Edward "Old Grog" Vernon.
Tell us something.: This is the first sentence. This is the second of the recommended sentences intended to thwart spam its. This is a third, bonus sentence!
Instead of responding to all the posts, I can only say they are all equally brilliant. I shall try tonic water tonight!!!! Maybe even add som Gin. But I doubt it.
