Abstract
Members of the CURCUMA plant species (Zingiberaceae) have been used for centuries in cooking, cosmetics, staining and in traditional medicine as "omnipotent" remedies.
Herbal preparations made with, and molecules extracted from, CURCUMA have been shown to possess a wide variety of pharmacological properties against malignant proliferation, hormonal disorders, inflammation, and parasitosis among other conditions.
This review evaluates CURCUMA and its associated bioactive compounds, particularly focusing on studies examining the parasiticidal activity of these components against the tropical parasites PLASMODIUM, LEISHMANIA, TRYPANOSOMA, SCHISTOSOMA and more generally against other cosmopolitan parasites (nematodes, BABESIA, CANDIDA, GIARDIA, COCCIDIA and SARCOPTES).

Stephen Buhner states that the herb, Curcuma xanthorrhiza, is specifically useful for Babesia.
It is also one of the ingredients in the A-Bab formula.

Removing pathogens from vascular walls is paramount. Curcumin supports that along with Vitamin K2 several droppers full, High Vit A to take the calcium where it is supposed to be - in the bones. Plasmanex1 to thin the blood.
Addressing the Biofilm seriously is most important.
Google CCSVI. The whole ecosystem needs to be addressed. It is not simply a matter of a specific pathogen. Once we understand that, I think we are miles ahead.
Take care.
