I used Zhang's artemesia for 6 months with good results, but now it seems to be causing bladder pain.
I've switched to Allergy Research artemisinin and it is very different. I can't seem to find the right dose between not killing and over-killing with way too much pro-oxidative brain stress (a problem I didn't have with Zhang's--maybe because it is artensenate?).
What brands have you used successfully or like the best?
Thanks.

How can you tell it is pro-oxidative brain stress?
The Nutricology brand is what I use, but I get crackling or thumping noises in my ears from it. I wonder what is causing that for me....maybe it's oxidative stress?
Artemisinin is different than Zhang's anyways, because Zhang uses whole herb in his, I believe...which is Artemisia. Nutricology also sells Artemisia too.
PS- Allergy Research is the same as Nutricology.

After I take Allergy Research Group's artemisinin, I feel die off reactions 1-2 hours later. Then a couple hours after that, my brain feels on fire like extra bullets bouncing around tissues. It goes away soon after I take antioxidants that break the blood brain barrier (ester C or grape seed extract). It sounds similar to what Dr. Schaller describes for artemesia in his Babesia book and it goes away with antioxidants.

I find that the Allergy Research Group works the best for me....

I am using ArteMin 100 from Holley Pharmaceuticals
BTW are you guys pulsing Art? Do the bugs easily become resistant to Art?
Posted by abbyjo (Member # 16073) on :
I use same as Lauralyme. Yes, doc. says to pulse.
Posted by MariaA (Member # 9128) on :
can you guys list what the pulsing interval is that your doctor recommended (ie how many days on, and how many days off) and the dosage? thanks.
Posted by Lauralyme (Member # 15021) on :
My Doc said 5 caps 3 X a day for two days......pause five days. Repeat cycle ten times.
Would be interested to hear of others...
BTW I haven't built up to that full dosage yet. First time I took one capsule I herxed my brains out. Currently taking 3 caps 3 X a day and increasing slowly. So far so good.

My Doc. has me take four a day which is 400mg. total. He says to do 3 weeks on and 5 days off.
I believe he said they stop working after 3 weeks which is why you need to pulse it.
It is interesting to hear other reccomondations.

I started out slow then gradually got up to 1400mg/day, 3 days on 4 days off...
