Ive heard everything from 3 weeks on/1 week off to 4 days on/3 days off. Can somebody tell me what the usual schedule of Artemisinin would be? thanks so much

Our LLMD has my daughter taking it every day. Everybody responds differently to it.

months now, with whatever antibiotic ive been on.
(currently on doxy).........i just didnt know if
it was necessary to take it that long (3 weeks) or
if i should be doing a shorter pulse
In my non-medical opinion it would be better this way than 4 days on and 3 days off.
Seems that is allowing the bugs a great opportunity.

I've heard of 3 days on and 4 days off. Dr. K recommends 3 weeks on 1 week off. The break is necessary to prevent the buildup of some enzyme in your gut which prevents the absorbtion of iron.

I just got put on 500 Mg. three times a day, with two dropperfuls of Crypto-Plus/day for Babesia.
The doc said ten days on and four days off.
