I have Lyme and Babesia. I have been on IV Rocephin for almost 5 months.
My LLMD wants me to start artemisia soon. Has anyone had experience using the tinctures? I would like a couple of brand recommendations...organic products please.
I see how important the Red Root is - any brands for that?
Much thanks and peace.

Artemesia is the whole herb, but many find Artemisinin to be more effective for babesia, although harder to tolerate.
you may want to try a search on here as there are many past discussions on using these herbs.
and I highly recommend reading the book Healing Lyme by Stephen Buhner.

Hi,
I also used Artemisinin from Allergy Research Group.
I have also used 1st Chinese Herbs, there products are reasonably priced and clean. They don't have prepared tinctures, so you would have to make your own. I have bee taking powered and cut herbs in tea form.

Go to the thread about "links to herbal threads " ( by Maria I think ) and find the link to Buhner's site and the question about babesia and artimisinin .
I believe he suggests an herb called cryptolepis .
From what I have read , it is best to start the artimisinin ( or whole herb artimesia) at a low dose til you see how you can tolerate the die off .
I also read that taking it with fish oil potentiates the artimisinin.
I would start it slow, then increase the dosage TO TOLERANCE .
Also , there are others here who relapsed with babs and later finally got much better after trying rife .
Good luck!

IF you are taking Artemisia in whole herb form, make SURE it is the Artemisia annua.
I make my own Red Root tincture. I don't think brand makes all that much difference. Just get it from a reputable sourse.
Before I started making my own, I used a brand called Herb Pharm from MyVitaNet.
