Talks about the Babesia clogging up microvascular blood vessels in the brain which would cause our symptoms, which of course isn't specifically stated in the article as symptoms, but certainly makes sense from my perspective.
This would explain so much IMHO

Vervaine is said to be one of the best treatments for cerebral malaria and malaria.
Vervaine also appears to be one of the best treatments for FL1953 I've ever come across!!! although I've never been diagnosed with it but I suspect due to the extreme biofilm I have.
You see, vervaine is mentioned as one of the most effective treatments for malaria as well as many other protozoas. (FL 1953 is a protozoa). Also good for sepsis and also good for parasites. It also works "extremely" well for pain as well.
I chew on the twigs many times per day then swallow with water. I've also made it as a tea. Also, best is extracted as mead or with alcohol if you can tolerate the tincture (alcohol).
May want to go slow as others have reported extreme herxes.
Malaria treatment.: Verbena officinalis was used to treat malaria alone with Verbenaceae treatment of the disease 36 cases. Methods: fresh Verbenaceae 60~150 g (dry goods halved), and concentrated decoction to 300 ml of water around take one serving before four hours,another serving before two hours;2 to 4 days,dry whole grass 15 g (smaller dose for children),one serving daily, Decoction and divided into 2 dose,continue 6 days. Results: 33 patients with symptoms disappeared after 48 hours, Plasmodium falciparum Blood tests were negative, the effective rate was 92%.
May also want to buy blue vervaine which is also good for parasites to rotate with the Verbena officinalis. Blue vervaine is easy to find but "true" verbena officinalis is hard. Verbena officinalis is sometimes sold as verbena officinalis but is in fact blue vervaine. The first link is true verbena officinalis.
Vervaine is one of the most effective remedies for lyme. Sadly, vervaine is also known by very few people in the lyme community.

Dear jdp ~ I have been taking blue vervain for a while, just because i knew it is good for the nervous system and headaches/migraines, etc.
I had no idea about it's use for malaria, etc.
iherb has the tincture in organic alcohol ~ eclectic institute brand.
Thanks so very much for posting this ~

Your welcome.
Blue vervain ( hastata) is good for parasites such as ascaris.
Don't forget though, blue vervain is different than verbena officinalis.
Verbena officinalis is what we are after to kill many protozoas such as malaria and cerebral malaria and hopefully works on FL1953. Actually works "incredibly" well on FL1953 but I've never been diagnosed with FL1953 so can't be 100%.
This is how to make your own tincture of verbena "officinalis." This is better than taking it as a tea but don't forget the herxing can be very bad so go slow.
"The alkaloid can also be extracted by alcohol but it takes time. Best practice is to let the mixture steep for one moon cycle, 28 days.
Ingredients: - 80g Verbena officinalis - 250ml (1cup) of 40% Vodka - Distilled water to top
Steps: - add Verbena and Vodka to 1L/Q Mason jar - top with distilled water - seal with fresh canning lid and shake - place in dark area for 28 days - when done strain through cheesecloth and squeeze out what you can
Can be put into dropper bottles and homeopathic 5-15ml droppers easy to take with you... Estimated drops, depending on the quality of product you started with is 4-6, on an organic sugar cube if needed..."
The tincture works well but the alcohol can get old having to take all the time. Here is how to make it as a mead which is said to be better than the alcohol method. I've never tried it as a mead however so I personally can't comment.
"Recipe as dowsed based on the 13th century original from that prior link:
Ingredients 1 Gallon Water 3 lbs Honey (1 quart) 1 Lemon 275-300g Dry Vervaine 1 Epernay II yeast
Add the honey to one gallon of boiling water (RO water as near to 0PPM as possible). Turn off the heat and stir well. ****Let stand covered until cool. Slice lemon and add along with the Vervaine. Pour into a gallon jug and add the yeast. Epernay II yeast works very well, but champagne yeast or ale yeast are also fine.
Let it ferment for 28 days, and then siphon into bottles. Seal or cap the bottles and let sit at room temperature for two weeks, then put in the refrigerator. You can drink it at any. time now.
***Note the longer fermentation due to the Vervaine. Also fermentation locks are dirt cheap and so are fermentation vessels of all size.
