Guest guest Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 Exploring things that seem to have benefit are certainly worthy and I have done much in that way including Artemisinin. In fact I did that more than two 1/2 years ago and conversed with one of the persons doing the research on it. Unfortunately it did not appear to be of benefit to me re bladder cancer, however, most of us have learned that not everything works for everyone all the time. If it did? Then the magic bullet would be the result. There is no magic bullet, never was, never will be. We do need the experts that know what 'seems' to work best and what does not and try to do as much as we can of the things that 'seem' to work best and not waste time on what does not. I do not put Artemisinin in that category of what does not work simply because it did not 'seem' to work for me. Neither did Apricot Kernels but they are still a viable course of action. Joe C.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 From: " Donna " <donnadbd777@...> > Seems there is a missed jewel of a supplement found in Artemisinin. artemisinin (constituent of wormwood/Artemesia annua L.)--1 of the most effective cancer-healing herbs; contains tannins, succinic acid, & potassium; antiparasitic; antiangiogenic; " essentially a method of delivering hydrogen peroxide " . Start with 100-200mg, and work up to at least 300mg twice a day (as much as 1000mg/day for large tumors). Probably best to take it for 1 yr. Take between 10 and 11pm . Take it at night w/fat, ideally Omega 3 (e.g., flax oil or [shark] liver oil), but no other food; avoid eating protein for the rest of the evening. One source recommends taking it for a week, stopping for a week, etc. Keep body alkaline while using it. Synergistic w/green tea, curcumin/turmeric, ginsinosides, oxygen therapies, vit. D, & hi-dose vit. C. Don't take tocopherol (vit. E) or gluathione while using it. Don't take during radiation or while smoking or for the 1st 2(+) wks after radiation or smoking cessation. Triggers apoptosis; " [take] with a natural iron loading substance like Beet Powder or Yellow Dock Root or Liver Peptone Powder...drink lots.of.water w/electrolytes " Carolyn Bormann, ND, 4/02; " researcher at the Brewer Science Library.wrote an article on...artemisinin for cancer [www.mwt.net/~drbrewer/canart1.htm]....closest thing to a magic....[some patients] need to take it with iron ....breast cancer may be a bit slower [to respond]. " But it's highly effective w/breast cancer, as well as lymphoma. It's most effective w/leukemia (including lymphoblastoid leuk.) and hormonally-refracted cancers. Especially effective w/aggressive cancers. Effective w/sarcoma, melanoma, larynx, ovarian, prostate (but PSA doesn't drop), brain (including neuroblastoma & GBM; crosses blood-brain barrier), renal, and metastatic breast cancer, & drug-resistant cancers. " In Vietnam it is used.to arrest breast cancer. " Has been effective w/liver & kidney cancer, lymphoma, NSCLC, & IBC; very effective w/colon cancer IF patient's using pancreatic enzymes (and ideally also chelation). " using dietary and lifestyle changes and artemisinin...50 to 60 percent long-term remission rate " (www.mnwelldir.org/docs/cancer1/altthrpy.htm). " `the Hoang medical family.ha used artemisinin in combination with several other herbs to treat cancer, and eliminate necrosis material....'...indicated that they have achieved a 50-60 percent long-term remission rate in over 400 cancer patients utilizing artemisinin together with a comprehensive cancer strategy, and with no observed toxicity " (Rowen cited in www.cancerdecisions.com/090503.html) Hemoglobin levels may drop, and patient MAY thus need to take iron (which should be taken in the form of herbs [dandelion, yellow dock, beet root] seaweed (kelp, dulse) & other leafy greens). Dihydro-artemisinin's the most effective form for most cancers. Artemix's the best form for brain cancer. Artemether's a POTENTIALLY toxic form and can cause anemia. Women metabolize it faster than men. " In laboratory studies of radiation, resistant breast cancer cells that has high propensity for accumulating iron revealed that artemisinin has 75 percent cancer cell killing properties in a 8 hours and almost 100 percent...within 24 hours when these cancer cells are `pre-loaded' with iron after incubation with holotransferrin....normal cells remained virtually unharmed. " Lam, M.D. Holley Pharmaceuticals (866-8holley; holley.com) is reportedly 1 of the best brands; B-Artemether Plus (contains artemisisin, artemether, & artesunate; expensive; by Arrowhead) is another great brand.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 Like everything else, not all things work for everyone all the time. I worked with Artemisinin and had even contacted Lam regarding dosages etc. My bladder Cancer returned while using it and I used it properly and for enough time. However, that does not mean it does not work as the first sentence applies and it 'seems' it did not work for me. Perhaps there was some benefit, I just do not know. This should not be considered as advice against its use. Perhaps some others might kick in with some positive response. I would hope it works for others. Joe C.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 Joe, The info I am seeing is that arteminisin by itself is not as effective as it is when you combine it with iron supplements. Were you using iron while using arteminisin? Evidentally the two react inside cancer cells and cause apoptosis.

Were you using iron while using arteminisin? Evidentally the two react inside cancer cells and cause apoptosis? " At the time, and it could have changed, Lai (not Lam as I originally wrote) told me I need not be concerned with Iron. Apparently what they were doing was loading people up, not with Iron supplements as we generally know them, but rather a form injected into the system. Here's a bit from Dr. Rowan: " The product is best taken on an empty stomach with some natural fat to enhance absorption. Any iron present from residual food may neutralize the peroxides. Mile is one of the few foods with minimal iron. Whole milk, cottage cheese or yogurt have ample fat to enhance absorption. Additionally, I believe simultaneous administration of cod liver oil (for its omega-3 and vitamin D) and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) will assist absorption, while providing therapeutic benefits. To date, with the exception of patients very near death, taking artemisinin or derivatives have stabilized, improved, or remitted every cancer patient I have followed. " I repeat, this still has encouraging aspects and I do not rule out using it again. Depending upon an upcoming exam, anything is possible. I am sure that there have been newer development since I first approached its use two years ago. OK, I found it: Perhaps the most promising of the methods licensed involves the use of transferrin, to which the researchers bind artemisinin at the molecular level. Transferrin is an iron-carrying protein found in blood, and is transported into cells via transferrin receptors on a cell's surface. Iron-hungry cancer cells typically have significantly more transferrin receptors on their surface than normal cells, which allows them to take in more of the iron-carrying protein. That, according to Lai, is what seems to make the compound so effective. " We call it a Trojan horse because a cancer cell recognizes transferrin as a natural, harmless protein and picks up the tagged compound without knowing that a bomb - artemisinin - is hidden inside. " Once inside the cancer cell, the iron is released and reacts with the artemisinin. That makes the compound both highly toxic and, because of cancer's rapacious need for iron, highly selective. Surrounding, healthy cells are essentially undamaged. " Our research in the lab indicated that the artemisinin-tagged transferrin was 34,000 times more effective in selecting and killing the cancer cells than normal cells, " Lai said. " Artemisinin alone is 100 times more effective, so we've greatly enhanced the selectivity. " For more information, contact Lai at 206-543-1071 or hlai@.... The Holley contact is Liu, 714-606-8415 or michael@.... " " It was the 'Transferrin' that we spoke about and Lai said I need not worry about it. Additionally he did tell me to watch my stools for evidence of 'lightening' that might indicate toxicity. If I am not mistaken one does not want iron rich foods because it is the cells that must be iron rich, not our blood stream. Lai is supposedly the man and I do note that the above numbers include a distributor of Artemisinin. There's always a pitch somewhere which does not always mean $$$ rules. Perhaps those list experts can touch on this subject. Joe C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 Joe, One thing I picked up somewhere is that the more aggressive cancers grow faster and need more iron, therefore they have more iron receptors and are more susceptible to artemisinin. Conversely, slower cancers, such as non aggressive prostate cancers, do not respond as well as they have less iron receptors. Syd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Ellen and Bob, I sent this message to Dr. Tian: I am a breast cancer patient who has elected to do totally alternative therapy.

I am drinking water and eating small bits of food to keep up my strength, but I still experience discomfort. My doctor has me using activated charcoal and Anticid to help control the gastric discomfort. Do you have any idea if the Artemisinin may have caused this?

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Hi Ellen, Posted by: " Ellen & Bob " rhudy@... <<Be VERY careful with artemisinin! I met a gal through my CLL group who was taking big doses and wound up in the hospital for days. Very strong stuff.>> I'm very sorry to hear about this gal's experience, but I think your warning above is excessive. I doubt there's much more danger w/artemisinin than w/the average herb (or other alt. cancer therapy). Artemisinin's been used extensively for ages to treat malaria (in much higher dosages than are used w/cancer patients), parasites, etc. It's also been used safely w/thousands of cancer patients. There is a slight danger in using it long-term (which cancer patients are prescribed to do), and (like many supplements) it is of course ideal to use it under the guidance of a health practitioner. I've heard that artemether (in contrast to ordinary artemisinin) does carry a small but significant hazard. Leonard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Leonard's comments, as usual, came quickly to the point and pretty much describe my own experience with Artemisinin. I had originally spoken with persons directly involved with the research and there were some suggestions (cautions) to look for. There were no negative results that I experienced and yes, it has been used for ages. It is now a couple of years since using it and I recall something about cutting back usage if the stool became much lighter than usual. However my recollection of this is hazy. (Senior moment I guess) Sometimes our bodies react to something and anything we have done in and around that time might get the blame for it while not really being the cause. However many of us continue to make extreme statements without thinking things through but that is human nature. Luckily someone comes along and clarifies things. Thank you Leonard. Joe C.

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 i know of one positive case where artemisinin has been used in myeloma with velcade at the same time. the guy said he had an " especially " good and quick result with velcade that he could rule out as being the effect of artemisinin, and that he was unwilling not to contiune taking a maintenance dosing of this compound. he is in or very close to remission. this is good in myeloma which is very hard to get disease free stability. yet someone else had a go....with other myeloma drugs and it did nothing. i am likely to be doing velcade before long & artemisinin is on my list. joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Hi Dara, My personal experience with Artemisinin is that it doesn't work very well. I was on it for many months at 600mg a day and while it reduced my symptoms some my babesia came right back as soon as I took a couple days off. I've heard now that many doctors have stopped using Artemisinin because it elevates some particular enzyme in the liver I believe that can be dangerous. This is why its necessary to pulse this herb. Using the whole herb called Artemisia is far less toxic and can be used in the higher doses that are often proving necessary to beat this infection. I also just read an account from a woman who had been taking 6000mg artemisa for six months and even that didn't help her babesia much. There are so many different strains of babesia, over thirty, and some dont respond to treatment as well as others. There is a Lyme Literate Chinese Medicine doctor in NYC named Dr. Zhang who has been having a lot of success using Artesunate which is also made from Artemisia. Cryptolepsis is another herb that has been shown to be helpful against bababesia. I can't seem to kick this infection so i'm trying to learn as much as I can. I don't want to sound too pessimistic though, your son might beat it with the standard protocol. That happens too of course. I have also found that a supplement called K Mag KG from Source Naturals helps relieve some of my babesia herx symptoms. I hope your boy is feeling better soon. Thane > > My 6yo had his 1mo check with the LLMD today. He has been on refampin for lyme and erlichiosis for 1 month.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Thanks Thane. The doc told me his plan is to start with artemisinin to kill off some of the babesia, and then add an antibiotic for it. He thinks this is more gentle approach than starting with the antibiotic. I found a whole book written about it today, but honestly, I can't keep up with all of the reading I could want to do. I have lyme books, and now should add babesia books and herb books, and my mom just got me Dr. Zhang's book. I'm glad I have this site to go to for some quicker info!

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Hi Dara and friends, My name is Glenda and I too suffer from some form of babesia, nothing works as I just hurx too much. When I went to my LLMD he told me he wanted to start me on Artemisinin, but was quick to tell me the problems people have had. He told me of a Dr. in CA is is conversing with and he wants to start me on a low dose, take for 4 days and stop for ten. Then maybe for 5 days but no longer then this, then off 5. They have found that after this amount of time the herb is no good to you or the purpose due to the liver taking over and chewing it up Quote. I am sorry as my son is ill, this apt. was 3wks ago and I have not gotten it started it or remember the dose, but I believe when he said pulse he meant it. Starting in the 200mg and working up with a promise I would get sick over those days. My son has bee priority, he was born with this and we are helping him. When I start, I will start a thread. God Bless Glenda Scheuring > > > > > > My 6yo had his 1mo check with the LLMD today. He has been on refampin for lyme and erlichiosis for 1 month.
