I fear this won't help.

But just in case,

I started with artemesinin 800 mg a day.
I was 89lbs at the time.
The herxes were horrid but I felt better after treatment.

I survived and am alive to write about it.

My wife and I both were using up to 1200 per day and combining it with Amoxicillin for quite awhile. This was maybe a year and a half ago.

The combination got us well enough that we ended up extending a business trip in the Southwest and going hiking in the Grand Canyon and surrounding areas.

I want to point out something about the neurotoxicity issue that is causing some paranoia.

The neurotoxicity encountered in some of the animal testing was not with Artemisinin. It was with one of the derivatives of Artemisinin (Artemether I think) that was formulated into a slow release oil and injected intramuscular into animals.

The other forms of these compounds and Artemisinin itself have not exibited this neurotoxicity, and it has never been observed in humans to my knowledge... even though it has been given to millions of people around the world... many of them gravely ill with Malaria.

Since it has not been reported in humans, and since the slow release IM form that had that problem in animal testing is not even available, it is unlikely it has happened to you.

It isn't a vitamin though, it has potent effects and needs to be used with knowledge. I recommend anyone using it to get a copy of Dr. James Schaller's new book on the subject for the latest info. There is alot that I haven't seen in print anywhere before.

It is a very useful substance. It isn't evil. Of course, it may not be right for everybody.
