This is scary because you can buy it over the Internet.

If you are taking Artesunate, you should ask your doctor about the dose. While they are both forms of artemesia, the dosage for any of the various forms is not the same.


I wonder, why you are taking artesunate instead of artemisinin?

And remember that you need 2 or 3 different ingredients in any formula to fight either babesia or malaria. Mono-therapy has a high failure rate.

Ummm . . . I just posted two replies to what I thought asked about the dose for artesunate. But, after I posted, I swear the post headline AND the questions changed.


I know I'm really tired, but this is really telling me it is time to step away from my computer and stay away. Or - sunnymalibu - did you sneak in and edit the post while I was composing my replies?


From what I've read, I would hesitate to take Artesunate. Artemisinin is much safer - again, though only with other anti-protozoal agents in a combined formula.

In reply to the new thread, there is also a lot of fake Artemisinin on the market. :

Keebler-thanks so much for your replies! No you don't need to step away from the computer! I was cryihg from laughing so much at your post. I did post a question and then came back and edited it. Sorry about that!

I did see artesunate for sale on the Internet but after reading about fake artesunate. I'll stick with the artemisinin. I did read over at ummunesupport that Dr. Cheney is using artesunate. I'll have to find out where he gets his from.

Thanks again! And sorry about the switch-er-roo!

Best wishes!
