What can happen with Artemisinin (per LLMD MR) is after several days on it, our intestines develop an enzyme that renders it useless.
So, that's the rationale for the pulsing approach.
Artemisia (whole herb) - can be taken daily...it's the Artemisinin (active constituent of the herb) that shouldn't be.
And 400 mg daily really isn't much (not enough IMO)
- unless you're herxing...then stay at that dose for awhile before raising.
LLMD MR says 3 on and 11 off.
Other LLMD's say a week on is fine.
Another LLMD I know has patients take it M/W/F week 1 and M/T/W/Th/F week two and then a week or two off.
