I have taken chloroquine as a prophylactic measure against malaria before, but the side effects are terrible. Double vision, and if you get up quickly be prepared for a blackout and be on the floor. I decided I would rather get malaria than be on this drug. About 75% of the company I was with, felt that way, and were not taking chloroquine. It appears that Hydroxychloroquine has similar side effects, look up serious side effects and there are many. In Jims book he has talked about if you have malaria, how he has treated Africans who already have it, with a huge herxheimer inducing dose. I have had a bad herxheimer reaction, before and it is a terrible experience.
In my opinion I would take the Protocol 1000, if you become worrisome, such as if the neighbor in your block contracts malaria. Remember that you do not have malaria yet, and use that as a prophylactic measure, if you have concerns and leave it at that,. All the protocols started out as large herxheimer inducing dosages, then later tapered off, to the Protocol 1000. In some countries this may not be possible because Protocol 1000 requires a lot of discipline, what foods you are allowed to eat, and the 1 hour dosing. Can you imagine an uneducated population, avoiding antioxidants, for 3 weeks and standing in line for their 1 hour dose 8 times a day? Jim came up with his best solution for what he was dealing with.
Malaria attacks occur in cycles, that is when you know that you have malaria. Nausea, high fever, sweats, the chills, return to normal temperature, and that is occurring in cycles. If that is no longer happening, you do not have malaria. You can always up the drops until the cycles disappear.
Protocol 1000 delivers 433 million molecules to EACH and every red blood cell, eight times a day for 3 weeks, so it is the relentless pounding that will knock it out.
