Are these the same thing? Artemisinin is in my protocol and I've run out. I was supposed to take it this morning along with my abx. We can't find it anywhere here or even in the bigger cities pretty close to me. All I can find is wormwood. Can I take this instead? I can't find any info that says they are the same thing. I would appreciate it if someone has the answer to this. I need to know soon. Thanks!

No it is not the same thing. Wormwood is Artemisia Absinthium. Aremisinin is an extract / compound of artemisia Annua.
You can buy artemisinin on Amazon.com and other sites. Allergy Research Group brand is good.
Thanks, I need it today. I was taking the Allergy Research brand but I just forgot to order it. Today is my last day on this round so I guess I will just have to skip it or should I take the wormwood?
Thanks, Connie

Well, you are supposed to pulse it...3 weeks on, 1 off. Or 4 days on , 3 off, otherwise you build up an enzyme in your gut which prevents its absorbtion. So perhaps take a break and order it.
