Quinine for Eye Tics?


Recommended Posts

My mom also gave it to us kids for charlie horses and stomach aches. I like it with lime or cranberry juice. I usually order it when out at a restaurant instead of a "cocktail". It helps my migraines too. I would be interested to hear more about the effects of it on tics though.

 

Thanks for being the forum guinea pig... I'm interested to see what happens. My son had some with cranberry, but not enough to validate any results.

 

I think one small bottle should do... at least it's a good place to start. Then bump up the next time...

 

I think if it were me, I just try to chug it down. I agree it's very bitter...

 

Stay in touch. Hope you feel better. These seasonal allergies has everyone I know worn out!

Guy, could you post the list of ingredients in that tonic water?

 

On the front of the label:

 

TONIC WATER: CONTAINS QUININE

 

On the back of the label:

 

Carbonated water

High fructose corn syrup and/or sugar

Citric acid

Natural flavors

sodium benzoate (preservative)

Quinine

Bottled under the authority of dr pepper/seven up, inc (oh wait that's not an ingredient, lol)

 

It said on the wiki page that there's not much in tonic water, not even a medical dose I don't think.

 

But we will see.

 

If quinine works, you can get it in pills or injections or something. They treat some other condition with it.

 

They come in glass bottles. Don't drop them! :blink:

I wonder if Whole Foods sells a "cleaner" tonic water?

;p

 

 

Guy, if I were you I would not touch that stuff!!!! :huh:

 

HFCS needs no further explanation...it is a poison!

 

citric acid and sodium benzoate are chemically derived and can upset the GIT badly plus my son has found both are tic triggers for him

 

natural flavors usually means they are hiding the fact that they have MSG or some other nasty in there

I'll still give it a try.

 

HFCS and MSG don't seem to have any effect on my tics so I'm not too worried.

you may not find them tic triggers but also be careful of what they and the rest of the stuff in that can do to your GIT and rest of your system

 

sodium benzoate and citric acid both trigger crohn's flares for my son

natural citric acid as in citrus fruits is different, but that used as an additive to foods is not usually from natural sources, but rather a man made chemical...

however, people with Crohn's or other IBD avoid most citrus too

 

sodium benzoate is a chemical preservative and as such people who have chemical sensitivity tend to react adversely to it in varied ways
