I've been having a tough time with babs the last few weeks and have posted about it several times.

I've been on malarone and zith for around five months now and was doing great. About a month ago I noticed some of my old babs symptoms slowly creeping back in.

Then the creeping turned into a freight train. I have had shaking chills, drenching night sweats, insomnia, fatigue, hot flashes etc. non-stop for the last couple of weeks. Oh yeah, and bad joint pain in my hips.

I have to assume that the malarone and zith just aren't cutting it anymore, so I'm going to add artemisinin to the mix in the hopes that it will help get me over this hump.

For all you Art vets out there...What is the best brand and where can I buy it? How many a day? Isn't it supposed to be pulsed?

Any info would be great!

Thanks,
Lauren

I was advised to pulse art, four days on and then 3 days off.

My advice -- start slowly! I found art to be very powerful. Personally, I would not start at more than 100mg/day. Best wishes.

Thanks vermont...I will start slowly. What brand did you use if you don't mind me asking?

I am getting ready to add artemisinin in too.

I only weigh about 99lbs now, so I am hoping to get to 300mg a day.....maybe.

When do you take it?

It says to take before meals.

Any advice welcome.

Thanks Lauren for starting the thread.

I am waiting for the day after Christmas.

Hugs,

Geneal

I take Allergy Research Group's arteminisin that my LLMD suggested. I take 100mg 3 times per day.

http://nutricology.com/ is where I buy it.

I worked up to 400 mg/day...some say pulse 4 days on 3 off....

Expect herx after 4 or 5 days. And I DO mean herx.

The Nutricology brand is what was recommended to us by our LLMD.

We buy it from this website because it is more affordable than some other websites.

Our experience is that the Artemesia does cause herxheimer like reactions 1 to 2 hours after taking a doseage, therefore, be very careful with it.

Godspeed
