Artemisia and RBC

Hi again,

Like I wrote before I'm taking Artemisia annua herb for Babesia for one month.
Before this treatment I always had normal RBC count, but my LYMs (lymphocytes)
were always low since I've become sick 10 months ago (Borrelia and Chlamidia pneumonia infections confirmed, Babesia suspected because of air hunger and chills).

One month ago my RBC was 4.55 and LYM 21 (normal range for LYM is 25-40).

Last few days I noticed my skin becomes pale and I had stomach pain under my right rib so I did blood test.

My RBC is now 3.65, that is really big drop in one month,
iron is lower then before but still in range,
but LYMs improved and now are 32 and are in normal range!

Now I don't know is this something good but I'm happy to see LYMs normal again although I'm worried for RBCs and iron.
My liver enzimes are in normal range and everything else.

What actually Artemisia do with RBCs and is this a sign that they were infected or not?

And what should I do with Arteimisia treatment? I think to stop it now, maybe try another herb.

There are certain things you can do to "build up" your blood back again.

Eat beef
Eat pork
Take Burdock, dandelion, yellowdock. There are many other liver tonics/blood cleansers like these out there.

Stephen Harrod Buhner recommends sida acuta for protecting red blood cells, but for some (like me) they cause terrible herxes.

You may also look into the possibility of another infection. Namely Anaplasmosis. One of the indicators of it is blood counts being off. Even the CDC admits common things to look for in anaplasmosis is low WBC count, low platelets, low RBC, and slightly to moderately elevated liver enzymes.

It could be babesia or anaplasmosis or both as they are both intracellular infections. and sometimes as we kill off one infection others can become more noticeable. My father had issues with his counts being off and he had the chills, sweats, and air hunger along with anxiety and his primary infection was anaplasmosis.

Problem is that I live in Serbia and I'm not sure I can order herbs from here and how long would that take time. Some herbs are available here like Artemisia, but Cryptolepis and Sida acuta no.

What do you think about Andrographis? Maybe I can find it here.

nberg, yes I had low platelets and LYM specifically, not all WBCs and before Artemisia my RBC were in normal range. But now it is contrary, platelets and LYM are in range, RBC is low and all that changed for one month.
What herb is good for Anaplasmosis?

Thanks Girlie, TheRhythm, Rikky1, nberg for your help.

nonames - There is an herbal company that ships to more places then most: HawaiiPharm .
I've sent them an email asking if they do ship to Serbia.

I'll report back when I hear from them.
