Artemisia versus Artemisinin

Hello all,

I was wondering if any of you notice a difference when using Artemisia versus Artemisinin? I currently use the Nutricology Artemisia. I have been using this for almost 2 years now. I take 1000 mg (2 pills) on a pulsed schedule.

I no longer have babesia symptoms but I am very scared about it returning so I plan to stay on it another year. What are your thoughts about the differences?

I went with Artemisia because Buhner recommends Artemisia over Artemisinin...also...the Artemisinin tastes very bad. I think I am going to use Cryptolepsis as much as I can and Artemsia until the end of 2018. Crypto is probably the worst tasting herb I have ever tried though so it is very hard for me.

I would like to hear any thoughts and how many of you use Artemisia instead of Artemisinin and had success?

Nice...good to hear! I *think* the Artemisia works...but I am on so many different things that it's hard to tell which ones are working the best.

I did the calculations and Artemisinin would cost about $60 a month for me and I just don't have that kind of money right now.

I take Artemisinin per Dr. J. protocol.

BTW - Buhner changed his mind - he now prefers Artemisinin instead.

Oh wow I didn't know Buhner changed his mind! I was going with Artemisia bc of Buhner. Ugh taking Artemisinin is annoying and costly but I guess I should give it a try.

Please be very cautious here everyone. See below:

Depending on the version of Artemisia, most have very little effect on Babesia. Artemisinin is the version that is needed, and is effective when treating a Babesia infection. Also, if you are referring to Buhner, he no longer recommends Artemisinin for Babesia and/or Bartonella as per his book that he wrote a few years ago. The studies demonstrate that Sida acuda is a lot more effective against them, followed by Cryptolepis, and then by Alchornea. They are all considered more effective against Babesia and/or Bartonella as compared to Artemisinin. Studies have shown Artemisinin to be dangerous with regard to possible liver damage, especially over long-term use (more than a couple of months), and should be avoided.

One more caution, if you are having any high blood pressure issues (hypertension), be cautious when using Sida acuta. In 'some' people with hypertension issues, it has caused an increase in blood pressure. Just be aware if you choice to use it. Cryptolepis and Alchornea don't seem to cause this possible issue.

Best wishes all, and God bless.
