Artemisinin defeats malaria and
other parasites
Artemisinin is a herbal treatment for parasitic infections and malaria that also protects against particular types of cancer
Extractedfrom the plant Artemesia Annua L (sweet wormwood, also known as theChinese herbal Qinghao), Artemisinin has been used for centuries tokill parasites, particularly worms and flukes. These parasites, whichare present in us all, create a burden for the body, sapping energyresources and creating by-products that need to be excreted.
Anti-malaria
Artemisinin has also proven itself as a safe and effective treatment for malaria in over two million patients.
Anti-cancer
Nowstudies are also showing that Artemisinin is effective against a widevariety of cancers as shown in a series of successful experiments. Themost effective is leukemia and colon cancer. Intermediate activitieswere also shown against melanoma, breast, ovarian, prostate, CNS andrenal cancer.
Artemisinin’s method of action
Artemisinincontains two oxygen atoms linked together in what is known as an'endoperoxide bridge', which react with iron atoms to form freeradicals. Artemisinin becomes toxic to malaria parasites when it reactswith the high iron content of the parasites, generating free radicals,and leading to damage to the parasite.
By this same mechanism,Artemisinin becomes toxic to cancer cells which sequester relativelylarge amounts of iron compared to normal, healthy human cells.According to the Gordon Research Institute, tests have been conductedwhich show that Artemisinin causes rapid and extensive damage and deathin cancer cells and yet has relatively low toxicity to normal cells.
Dosage:
For general eradication of parasites, take one or two capsules (100 mg each) per day, ideally before a meal.
Thosewho are “at risk” from malaria, cancer or other serious parasiteinfection should consider at least 100 mg to 200mg three times a day.
