I know it’s listed in LLMD MR treatlyme online book.

It was on our news tonight - apparently it was given to our military when they were in Somalia.
They were forced to take it despite complaints of side effects.

It was used as a prophylactic for Malaria.
It’s cheap compared to the alternative meds.

It caused psychiatric issues - resulting in depression and causing suicides and murders.

From what I've heard the quinolines are great drugs for babesia but as Girlie posted can torch some people (in a very bad way). There's a new one being used for babesia right now, tafenoquine, been hearing some good things about it but one of those handle with great care drugs!

That sounds like one to avoid!

Does it actually treat malaria effectively?

It’s apparently good for prophylactic (so is doxy) ... not sure about treatment.

They were forced to take it even after complaints of horrific side effects.

@Girlie,

I can well believe that they were forced to take it.

The damage caused by serving in the British military is generally left to charities to sort out once our soldiers have served their purpose. They generally get treated like sh!t and hung out to dry unless they were high ranking officers.


But this is Canada !!! Lol
