this is one herb that has the potential to help or
destroy...if you take this and you have the
neurotoxic reaction to it and it CAN happen..it
will affect your brain stem people...many people
have been hurt by this herb..my friend has been
home bound for the last 8 years because of it..
if you dont believe me look up dr stephan
toovey..he is the one who did the tests and
says this herb is only used in situations of
close to death because of its neuro side
effects..people and lymies please dont
disregard what is say..it is TRUE! the cell
mitochondria falls apart and you are going to
be in really bad shape... you will have severe
vertigo and you nervous system will go haywire.
I ask that you please believe me and avoid this
herb..its side effects are much worse then
lyme..by the way my friend was using zhangs
artemesia and has spent many years in the
hospital..back and forth..as soon as he stands
up he gets dizzy and faints..shame on our llmd
who refuse to understand the severe and life
changing side effects of these potent and
dangerous herbs...i care about everyone of us
on this lyme board..if you took it before and
it worked then you may have not taken it close
to any oils or fish oils..that is a big no no..
any oils make art many many times stronger then
before..increasing the risk..also it oxidizes
the cell before it falls apart and then you
will have damaged cells..in this case you need
very large doses of antioxidents like coq 10
and vitamin e
thanks for listening.

I was instructed to always take it on an empty stomach. It worked like a miracle for me!

Art works great for me too. It's good to know the warning though Overlyme, thank you.
All meds and some herbs have side effects. It's a risk people take. Unfortunately people are so willing to take meds without even considering side effects though. Energetic testing shows what is good and what is bad for individuals. Art tests great for me though.
There are so many variables with lyme too. Your friend could have been full of toxins, or wasn't detoxing enough or really just could not handle art. The die off from BB alone makes people sick/herx. Maybe the artemsinin was the last straw when your friend took it? Either way, I hope your friend gets better. Thanks again for the warning. :)

- I studied stephan toovey's claims about this years ago. His "research" was VERY limited, sorely lacking, skewed and his conclusion is not correct because he has not taken the proper methods in his work. -
Posted by TF (Member # 14183) on :
Well, aren't world health organizations giving art to thousands of people to treat malaria? And, I understand it works very well.
So, it seems that Toovey's 2005-6 claims must have been debunked or at least never proven.

It got rid of my babesia in about two months. I combined it with zithromax.
I'm very sorry to hear that some people react so adversely to it.

I would be careful of any herbs sourced from China and other places. Testing has revealed many of these are adulterated, such as green tea extract. Buyer beware. It is probably hard to determine exactly what happened to Overlyme's friend.
Posted by overlyme (Member # 43455) on :
keebler you are incorrect..and what you are
saying is wrong..it happened to me..so stop the
claims that his conclusions are not correct..
think before you remark like that..sorry to
be so blunt..toovey came to NY to help me get
better from the known side effects of art..
Posted by BobG (Member # 39642) on :
Overlyme, what were all the side effects you associated with artemsinin? THanks

Sounds like your friend still has babs. Artemisinin made me feel like crap but I came out much better for it. Turned my life around.
