The Kill Pill: Murder, Madness, and the Army's Mefloquine Cover-up
[2012 Feb] Army Doctor Sees Victory, and a Dangerous Drug Bites the Dust—Almost A dangerous malaria drug invented by the Army and commonly used by soldiers and civilians alike causes everything from episodes of psychotic violence to nightmares more real than reality, and is finally being withdrawn as the first-line treatment for troops in malarial zones......Admitting mefloquine is a dangerous drug would be a bitter pill for any Army medical leader to swallow. Many of today's senior medical leaders were intimately involved in the studies that saw the drug rise to prominence, and many are on record over the previous decades publicly defending the drug against the increasingly validated claims of its earlier critics. Absent external pressure to do so, it is likely of little benefit for these senior medical leaders to suffer the humiliation that would come from admitting what they might now otherwise privately concede. Saying nothing is the path of least resistance on their journey to a comfortable retirement. The use of mefloquine at Guantanamo represents either medical malpractice with culpability at some of the highest levels of military medical leadership, or it suggests something far more intentional and sinister. I typically believe that one should never ascribe to malice what can be attributed to simple incompetence, but in this case, I am not so certain. There are too many inconsistencies and unanswered questions. The issue will ultimately require the release of medical records, open hearings, and testimony to resolve. I am confident this will happen.
[2010] Controversial MK ULTRA Drug Given to All Guantanamo Detainees Akin to "Pharmacologic Waterboarding" Treatment, Torture or an Experiment? The Defense Department forced all "war on terror" detainees at the Guantanamo Bay prison to take a high dosage of a controversial antimalarial drug, mefloquine, an act that an Army public health physician called "pharmacologic waterboarding." The US military administered the drug despite Pentagon knowledge that mefloquine caused severe neuropsychiatric side effects, including suicidal thoughts, hallucinations and anxiety. The drug was used on the prisoners whether they had malaria or not.

"People in malaria areas cannot afford to take malaria preventive medicines, as side effects always develop after a time. Thus, the locals never take these medicines. They have to depend upon being cured by the standard malaria medicines after they contract malaria, and unfortunately the malaria parasite has developed a resistance to those medicines. Visitors can only afford to take malaria preventives for a short period. As it turned out, several of my associates were hospitalised as a result of taking the preventive medicines."-- A Miracle Treatment for Malaria and Other Diseases by Jim V. Humble
