    • Hi Gerie, I’m by no means an expert on quinine but I do believe that nature has a way of healing ailments in ways that the scientific community still doesn’t understand. I would think that quinine should start working fairly quickly for your leg cramps. And as far as the cancer goes, I’m a true believer that we have an innate ability to cure our ailments with proper nutrition, supplementation, and a healthy attitude. I don’t have anything to sell here, and I just hope that you have found a way to get some relief from the leg cramps! Hope all is well. God bless
