Re[2]: Artemisia questions

[Guest guest]

Hello Deidre,

Artemisinin is the chemical extract of artemesia that has been used

for years to combat malaria. It kills cancer cells through the same

mechanism it uses to kill the malaria parasite, oxidation of iron.

Artemix is not " stronger " than plain artemisinin, it is rather

composed of three molecular varients with differing solubility

potential. There is a large volume of research on artemisinin with

regard to its pharmacodynamics. We know that the ability of

the gut to absorb it declines fairly rapidly with use and we know

that the liver upregulates enzymes to break it down more rapidly the

longer it is used. It's best to pulse doses, giving it for 4 or 5

days, then taking a few days off. Artemisinin and Artemix are best

taken with some fat at bedtime. The best fat may be coconut oil, or

the whole milk of the coconut. Butyrate taken at the same time may

have a synergisitic effect. No iron containing foods should be in

the gut at the time of dosing. Doses of around 400 mg are probably

about right. Attempts at larger doses will speed up the enzyme

induction and shorten the half life of the artemisinin.

You cannot get the desired effect by taking the herbal artemesia

annua. There is not enough artemisinin in the herb to get the

cytotoxic effect on cancer cells.

Mike,

I know all about  Artemisinin as have  talked at length 

with founders at Washington University  Dr. Singh and Dr.

Lai.

If anyone needs  further explanation  or details,  the

following is contact information  for Dr. Singh.  He 

will gladly discuss his research and details.
