I was taking Artemisia for 4 months. Three weeks ago I stopped (just because I run out of supplies and didn't have financial resources to buy new bottle).
Last week I started to have drenching sweats (I thought that I don't have Babesia, but now I start to doubt that I have it)
Do you think that these sweats can be connected with not having Artemisia? And then Babesia activated?
Should I countiue with with taking it? I read somewhere that it should not be taken without a break for a long time?
Please tell me your opinion.

Blueberrymuffin check out this post...very informative. It is the artemisinin that you have to take a break from.

BBM - as Krimpet stated - it's when taking Artemisinin you need a break.
It's the active constituent in Artemisia. The intestines can develop an enzyme to render it useless...if you take it for too many days in a row.

Artemisia is the whole herb and you don't need to take s break.

I would try taking it again and see how you feel.

Thank you.
And what do you think about my drenching sweats? Are they connected with the stopping of Artemisia?
Do you think I should continue with Artemisia?

Since you didn't have sweats prior to Artemisia but now you do...it seems like it woke the sleeping lion...(Babesia)

I'd give it another try..

Thank you Girlie. And what do you think, how long should I take it? (I ask that because I need to calculate how many bottles I need)

I think at least a couple more months.

I believe Babs is supposed to be treated a minimum 4-5 months..so you need another month...and then one more for good measure IMO.
- at least.
But, if sweats return again..if you stop after two months - then you need to go back on.

I just added this one back in. I'm going to see how it goes this go around.

Krimpet, did you have some positive effects while taking it?
Posted 11/1/2016 8:05 PM (GMT 0)
I did. Or at least I think I did. I love the taste of this one and for me it is hard hitting. I definitely like to take this with the other herbs and not separately. It's been awhile so I have to work back up.
