Hi - have any of you taken artemisinin for Babesia?
I am trying to remember what dose I took (for only a month) way back and I believe the dose was 200mg 2x's per day - does this sound right?
And what vitamin cannot be taken with it? Is it COQ10? Any other? Also, should it be pulsed?
Lastly - anyone with real progress using it?
Thanks!

I have used up to 1500mg for 3 days per Dr. K recommendations. It did not work. I still have Babesia. Of all the alternative therapies, Artemisinin is one that I have not found useful - though others have.
CoQ10 and I have heard some suggest Milk Thistle both be avoided.

Not sure what other LLMDs protocol is. Dr. Z protocol artemesinin protocol is 40 days, perhaps 80, but not at the dose referred to above by Dr. K
I'm curious why just 3 days? Scott, can you elaborate ?
And are CoQ10 and Milk Thistle avoided all together with artem. or just at the same dose time for a few hours ?
I'm assuming that they make take the medicine back out of body too fast for the reason why?

Hi,
I have taken �rt twice and it seems to be helping. �t first I took 200mg 2x a day. Now I'm pulsing 400mg 3x a day for 3 days, off for 3 weeks. Yes, you don't want to take COQ10 with �RT.

I've read that CoQ10 should not be taken with Mepron or Malarone. What is the problem with taking it with Artemisinin?

just started artemisinin (200 mg/day) a few days go - im also still on biaxin and malarone (2 tbl./day).
cant say that malarone or arte has changed much - at least so far. maybe no babesia?

I have been taking Artemicin (or some form of Wormwood) for about a year, with occasional breaks of weeks or a month.
I make most of my decisions about what to take and how long based on muscle testing.
Artemicin keeps coming up positive and necessary for me month after month.
Note that the bottle says not to take for more than three weeks, so I'm not making recomendations to take it longer, even though it seems to be working well for me.
I can't say exactly how much it has helped me, since I take it concurrently with several other things, but my health is continuing to improve.
One thing I have noticed is that Artemicin healed sores in my nose that I have had for many years and couldn't seem to get rid of.
I know it was a result of Artemisin because the sores came back when I discontinued, and went away when I started back up.
I had always thought the sores were candida related, but now based on some posts about people possibly getting nosebleeds from babs,
I am wondering if they might have been from Babesia.
