Artemisinin

[Guest guest]

I wonder if the low dose he prescribed makes a difference for needing to pulse?

I confess I don't know about pulsing. He told me to give me son 1/2 capsule a

day, and when I ordered them, I asked and was told each capsule is 100 mg. The

doctor told me the low dose is due to it being for a child, and my son only

weighs 43 lbs. But that seems very low compared to some of the doses I've now

read here. I wonder if I should call and ask more questions about it.

to take artemisinin. Can anyone share their experience using this herb for their

child? I don't know much about it yet, and did not think at the time to aks

about risks associated with it. I was told to expect another herx.

Hi Dara,

My daughter is 16. She has had lyme since she was 4 and it was not

discovered till she

Was 14. We chose to do as little antiobiotic as possible because of how hard

it can

Be on the body. The doctor who treated her also has lyme and uses the same

protocol which

Is Dr. Zhangs. My daughter has Lyme,Bartonolla, erlichiosis, and babesia.

After two years of treatment

she is back in school and doing well. She used the Zhangs Artemisia for

almost 2 years(along with other things)

and zithriomax for 7 months. She never had a problem with her liver enzymes.

In fact her doctor has been using

it for years on herself without any problems as well. Can't speak for the

other artemisias . She had very little herxing

I would not hesitate to use Zhangs Artemisiae on any of my family members..

Will keep you and your son in our prayers

Elaina

My 6yo had his 1mo check with the LLMD today. He has been on refampin for

lyme and erlichiosis for 1 month. A herx reaction started on day 8 and on

week 4 is starting to calm down (emotional and behavioral sx). His initial

blood work was normal except for slightly elevated WBC count. Now, for

babesia, he is to take artemisinin. Can anyone share their experience using

this herb for their child? I don't know much about it yet, and did not think

at the time to aks about risks associated with it. I was told to expect

another herx.

Thanks,

Dara
