Has anyone had any side effects or herx symptoms from Arteminisin? Sometimes after an hour of taking it, I feel like I sweat more and the neuro symptoms are exacerbated. It is always difficult to discern side effect vs. herx symptom.

I just took my first pill of Art yesterday and don't feel anything yet.
Dr H treated one patient with Cryptolepis for 2 years. She had high levels of Babesia and was in a wheelchair. She is no longer in a wheelchair and has some lingering health issues.
Just from her experience we can deduce that it acts and can impair the nervous system. I just had a few episodes of crazy neuro phenomena while taking Wormwood and Salt C. I think the Wormwood also has Art in it as well.

I just got through the first 4 days of pulsing and this stuff kicked the hell out of me. Diarrhea galore and burning pain in muscles with joint pain.
I hope that next week is easier. Still on Mepron too! Ugh!!!

Whenever you cause a die-off of any organisms, be sure you take plenty of binders.

Started about 6 weeks ago, pulsing on 4 days and off 3 days. First week was fine but every time I pulse I would get dizzy/tippy feeling much more pronounced on days 2,3, and 4 of taking it.
Not terrible but I felt it.

I have never felt anything from art and I have been taking it since October 2011. It only improved my apetite and helped litlle bit with nausea at the beginning. Recently I realized it has worsened my period- when on art I have much stronger bleeding and pain. California state has warning on art supplements it can damage reproductive tract.

Thanks for all your replies. I started pulsing it over the course of three weeks, and I believe it is keeping my temperatures in check. I have not been running the constant low grades. Did notice some looser stools with it, but it seemed to clear my head.
