Love this guy he really breaks it down. Good read about babesia treatment.

And yet, we can't deny that it's helped a lot of people beat Babesia - but I do agree with him that using it only for Babesia won't heal a person.

Good food for thought! Although I highly disagree with his thoughts on herbalists, especially since I did heal from Babesia using herbal treatments only - and I'm not the only one.

I have done both Artemisinin and Artesunate. (but not Coartem)

The Artesunate was much stronger.

I was taking 200 mg twice daily....and it hit me hard.

The Artemisinin - I got to 500 mg 3X a day at one point..


But, does that mean the Artemisinin isn't as good as Artesunate or Coartem? Or do we just need to take more of the Artemisinin?
I've definitely had some serious herxing on Artemisinin.

there are many people walking around with asymptomatic babesia. i had a family member the other day tell me his friend was just diagnosed with babesia after some routine testing and he's got zero symptoms so i think with anything the effect it has on the person infected is as varied as the stars in the sky.

So, is he saying that the best treatment for Babesia is Coartem and to start at lower doses?

Interesting he seems to discount the effectiveness of artemesinin and artemisia in this, article. Yet, I see he wrote a book on their miraculous efficacy.

Where does one purchase artesunate? I can't find it.

I had actually forgotten that he wrote on using artemesia for Babs! Thanks for the reminder, BJD! I wish he wasn't so arrogant and would share the why's to him no longer recommending it!

I've been taking artemesinin, 100-200mg bid since February, pulsed 2,weeks on, 2 weeks off. Effects are subtle, never a herx from it. While I'm no fan of herxing, I'm gonna ask my llmd whether it best to try the coartem.

The article has a few interesting kernels, but seems vague, almost like an infomercial.

That is a really low dose of Artemisinin. I gradually increased to 1500 mg daily when I was taking it.
(That is what LLMD MR suggests)

You are also staying on it too long with that pulsing schedule. One LLMD says only 3 days on at a time...other LLMD's say a week on is okay.

I also took Artesunate for a few months (not while on Artemisinin) - I had it compounded at a Pharmacy.

But apparently Zhang has an Artemesia product that is Artesunate that you can purchase online.
