As the author of the #1 Textbook on this herb and its semisynthetic derivatives, I would like to offer some help, as many errors and confusions exist.
My research on this involved aggressive, repeated blood smears performed by an exceptional microbiologist. I self-funded this research. Finally, an incredibly famous American and European expert on herbs and vast emerging medicine, said that this book is a “Gift to Humanity” and “It is wonderful Schaller has already done all the work here.” No surprise he is a brilliant research clinician.
KEY POINTS
1. Artemisia, the natural herb, does appear to hinder and kill malaria. However, some countries prefer synthetic drugs. In high doses we studied, it was worthless for killing Babesia. And Babesia is harder to kill than malaria.
2. Artesunate is an amazingly effective semi-synthetic that has an evident ability to lower Babesia at 150—500 mg. Some cannot tolerate doses over 200 mg. In the USA, it is FDA-approved for the treatment of severe malaria in emergency departments. It is used IV at $1000 USD for 100mg. Cheaper options are available in many sizes and routes, such as IV and IV.
3. Artemisinin is immensely popular among people who are not exposed to my research. It is a suitable form to use in mast cell activation disorders, for individuals with multiple allergies, and for those with prominent levels of inflammatory cytokines. IT NEVER LOWERED VISUALIZED BABESIA ON EXPERT VISUALIZATION. Yet you will see it advertised daily.
4. Artemether is a synthetic in Coartem paired with a synthetic drug—hence “co” as in copilot. Some physicians give 8 pills for three days and repeat this at different pulsing frequencies. I use it, but we did none of our own research to comment on its ability to kill Babesia.
The book is available on Amazon.com if you search “Schaller, Artemisia, and Artemether.”
It is in many languages and an Audible will be out this year.
