MNI-905 User ID: 79237410 South Africa 08/11/2020 10:14 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ive been google and yandex searching but haven't been able to get data on how much quinine can be obtained from one grapefruit peel Quoting: Anonymous Coward 50412010 here is a recipe found online ... how much quinine does this provide ? dont know [link to raysolution.blogspot.com] I want to focus here on the making of quinine water from grapefruit rind. Take the rind of 2-3 grapefruits. Take the peel only and cover it with water about 3 inches above the peels. Let it simmer for about 2 hours. Sweeten the tea with honey or sugar since it will be bitter. Take 1 tablespoon every couple of hours to bring up the phlegm from your lungs. Discontinue as soon as you get better. Note: Excess quinine is toxic to the kidneys. Pregnant women should not drink quinine. Seeds as well, or just peel? Both, I think...

Bir Yaqub User ID: 77999704 Canada 09/03/2020 12:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | good to know cuz grapefruit peel is a lot easier to obtain than cinchona bark Quoting: Anonymous Coward 50412010 Other anti-parasitics are effective too. I bought 2 ozs (50g) of wormwood (artemisia absinthinum) for $5 CAD at my local health food store. It is really bitter, so then I bought wormood tincture for $15. My Canadian Ranger friend who told me where to buy the tincture makes her own. In Africa, Iran, and Vietnam they fought the virus with 2 different types of Artemisia. Only South Africa, which followed WHO guidelines experienced Covid mortalities. Madagascar, Ghana, Tanzania, and Burundi told Tedros and the WHO to get stuffed. Wormwood is considered an invasive species in Canada. It competes with the native species of Artemisia and sage. First Nations people used these plants for smudging but they were too bitter to be used in tea. There is also a tree fungus fruiting body called a "Quinine Conk". It contains no quinine but has similar properties. |

It pleased people just to get a bag of navel oranges when some relative went to Florida and it was HUGE deal to get big delicious grapefruits. Cooks would save the "zest" ie the peel by saving it and shaving into slivers with a grater. Persian people would use zest in their cooking otherwise there were desserts that used that in typical American cooking especially at holiday time. I remember very small spice selection at the grocery and nobody would have bought orange or lemon peel, but saved it. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 70144269 United States 09/03/2020 01:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's an old bushcraft trick of limited use where you take an orange peel and it has oils in it which are flammable. So a prepper could use that to start a fire in an emergency. [link to m.youtube.com (secure)] That volatile oil is called limonene. You might try an experiment with various citrus fruits to see which work. It you know someone who is convelesing as they are dying and the spouse is overwhelmed, and the home smells bad as their loved one is losing control of their bowels and they cleaning up after them, you get a squirt bottle of orange oil. That will dispel any "sick odors" and their home smells fresh. |
