Great article! My family and friends have used the herb Artemisia Annua for viruses, including Covid, with success. It works for us. It is strong. We have experienced no side effects. Have to open the capsules and chase with juice.

It astounds me that no one is talking about it! I believe that various people know about it as many reviews claiming it cured viruses seemed to be removed from Amazon. There is mostly silence from both mainstream medicine and the alternative health experts. It is easily obtainable from many supplement suppliers online.

Thank you so much for writing this article. I agree your view of the statistical analyses too.

Information on artemisia was definitely censored. I'm doing a review of literature now. I've read many WHO press releases on artemisia. The WHO said that although there was good reason to believe that artemisia would work, that people should not be allowed to speculate that it could work until it had undergone clinical trials. I suppose I should write this up.

This is the clinical trials model again being a blockade of medicine, this time on free speech in coordination with the WHO and social media corporations.

Here's some direct quotes from WHO AFRICA in a May 4, 2020 press release: "WHO supports scientifically-proven traditional medicine." "https://www.afro.who.int/news/who-supports-scientifically-proven-traditional-medicine#:~:text=Brazzaville%20–%20The%20World%20Health%20Organization,potential%20treatments%20for%20COVID-19.

WHO: "WHO recognizes that traditional, complementary and alternative medicine has many benefits and Africa has a long history of traditional medicine and practitioners that play an important role in providing care to populations. Medicinal plants such as Artemisia annua are being considered as possible treatments for COVID-19 and should be tested for efficacy and adverse side effects. Africans deserve to use medicines tested to the same standards as people in the rest of the world. Even if therapies are derived from traditional practice and natural, establishing their efficacy and safety through rigorous clinical trials is critical."

(So the stuff works, but there are no clinical trials to prove it).

WHO, continuing: "As efforts are under way to find treatment for COVID-19, caution must be taken against misinformation, especially on social media, about the effectiveness of certain remedies. Many plants and substances are being proposed without the minimum requirements and evidence of quality, safety and efficacy."

And so because there were no clinical trials, the WHO said that social media must censor people like us who were trying to spread the word and talk to others. Social media complied. (Facebook and Twitter actually said that the WHO ran their COVID censorship program). Google was the worst.

I wrote several articles on artemisia early on. Search engines never picked them up. I posted them on Twitter. Nobody seemed to notice. I searched for "artemisia" many times on Twitter and never found anything. Later I went into settings and clicked on "allow sensitive content." Then I searched again and found some people talking about it, including a doctor in Uganda who was using it.

I hate that this is what happened. It's good to find the other people out there who have had the same knowledge all along. Thank you for reading and commenting.

Do you have scientific proof when saying “…used the herb Artemisia Annua for viruses, including Covid, with success” that demonstrates it protected you from an object, one that is claimed not to be bacteria or even living?

Sharing only my personal experience. Not medical advice. Consult your doctor. It won the Nobel prize in 2015 for treating infectious disease in Africa, as is stated in this brilliant article. Please read the Nobel prize documents relating to Artemisia Annua for the scientific data. Better yet, take the Nobel prize documents into your doctor and ask his/her opinion. Should be very entertaining. 💜💚❤️💙

Again, to my question, how can you make your original claim?

Last comment: I really don’t have to ask a meteorologist if it’s raining. We pretty much know what helps us. Neosporin helps with cuts. Antibiotics help with infections. Artemisia Annua helps with viruses. Frontline helps with fleas on pets. Lawnmowers cut the grass. Vinegar cleans floors. Saltwater helps a sore throat. If you want scientific data, look to the Nobel prize documents. Or ask a herbal specialist. Or whoever you want. Or find and READ the research yourself as I did. Lol!

You can physically see and feel rain...you can watch a mower cut grass...frontline includes toxins that 'kill' a living organism...vinegar, again, you can physically observe on the floor.

Now you're getting closer: Neosporin is for bacteria, that which we can observe, isolate, purify and characterize.

Where is the ability to observe Artemisia Annua helping with viruses? It sounds like you're saying viruses are living things?

What claim?

I think what Ocloman is saying is that you can't actually prove that a virus causes SARS2, based on some other comments. Is that right Ocloman?

I don't know how to approach that question myself. I have considered that SARS2 may be a recombinant virus delivered by "vaccines" to some extent. I didn't get much feedback on that. I don't think scientists can't answer the question because they don't know what's in the "vaccines."

Perhaps you can elaborate, because this is confusing..

Generally speaking, every scientific paper I have read does not codify a purified object, does not meet Koch’s postulates, and doesn’t even prove existence. Instead a list is pseudoscientific ideologies are followed with no control groups and a host of toxic material involved. And it certainly isn’t just me saying this - plenty of other much more articulate individuals have explained.

An analogy would be if I gave you coffee, chocolate, and a splash of espresso in a cup, you drank it…and then you experienced a caffeine boost…saying it was the coffee would not be proven, right? However, if I just gave you a coffee bean, then we could say it was the coffee bean.

Continued...

Marijuana grown under a National Institute of Mental Health contract afforded a large quantity of root material. An ethanolic extract of Cannabis satiua L. roots yielded the pentacyclic triterpene ketone, friede- lin (friedelan-3-one) (I), its corresponding P-alcohol, epifriedelanol (11), and N-(p-hydroxy-P-phenylethy1)-p- hydroxy-trans-cinnamamide (111). The triterpenes were characterized by preparation of derivatives and com- parison with authentic friedelin l. Friedelin was first isolated from cork as a mixture with cerin by Chevreul (1). In 1899, Istrati and Ostro- govich (2) separated this mixture and obtained the pure triterpene. The structure of friedelin, however, was not determined until 1956 by Corey and Ursprung (3). Friedelin and epifriedelanol have been l isolated from numerous plant species, including SaIix japonica (Sali- caceae) (4), Photinia glabra (Rosaceae) (9, Rhododen- dron species (Ericaceae) (6), and Ceratopetalum apeta- lum (Cunoniaceae) (7).

Is this the 2 page pdf you can't access? I've downloaded from Elsevier and can DM it to you, though it doesn't directly mention antitumor action but is fascinating to me.

Thank you! It's entirely possible that this is the article I was trying to get access to. It's been a few years. I was under the impression that there would have been some data on the testing of the anti-tumor properties.

Note here though that the Controlled Substances Act was signed into law October 27, 1970. It became effective May 1, 1971. The paper your linked was "Received April 12, 1971." I like to think Mississippi was trying to do the right thing and tell us about epifriedelanol before the ban really set in. That paper says they grew that sample in the "summer of 1969."

I'm, half joking, thinking of setting up a "Dallas Buyers Club" of mainly plant based therapeutics, as a counter to catastrophicly failing allopathic medicine. Plants are my background. One size doesn't fit all. I've been reviewing some of them individually (not 3000!) and thought berberine would be a 5 minute job, but it turned into a large paper as it works on so many levels from quite a simple molecule, almost the mirror to the toxicity of spike protein.

I love the regression analysis model, go by endpoints and sort the immuno/biochemistry later. Natural therapeutics just don't fit the box that pharma knows they won't go in.

That's the way I hope the market will shift. Buyers clubs, people testing their theories. I think people just need to have some solid data on what exactly works and a method to determine that. Regressions are so simple and obvious that there's really no reason not to use them unless.. well I laid out why not. But we're moving forward.

So I take it that berberine is the most likely compound in purple pitcher plant to work against monkeypox. I see that berberine is for sale online.

Any recommendations on a brand of berberine? You know I asked Dr. Moscowitz about a recommendation for a brand of quercetin once, (he was using Quercetin since April 2020 for COVID19 with good results), and he didn't make a recommendation. Later Dr. Zelenko started marketing Z-Stack with Quercetin in it. There's money in herbal medicine (quercetin is a flavanoid) and it actually works.

Gab is the new twitter for many and I'm in the Ivermectin and Artemisinin group, you are welcome to join to collaborate if you have time. I'm collecting references to write a literature review on a Artemisia, as much for my own learning as anything.

OK great. I sent you an email. I have a good deal of artemisia references. I will be glad to share it all. I am certain that it can benefit mankind more than it is at the moment. There is a physician I follow on Twitter, that I've spoken to briefly, who has done some research on artemisia and COVID in Africa. I can try to get with him on that and loop him in maybe.

I've replied by email, and to repeat here, all such references and contacts would be very much appreciated. I fear there is an urgency about this to help where we can as population immunity is heading on a downward path just as Omicron is picking up more virulent mutations and allopathic medicine has in the main nothing much to offer.

Is this scaremongering? When you look at the 30-60 year olds dying every day and the excess deaths 6th sigma deviation I fear not, and we know why. You can only call it democide as they know too, at the top.

I've personally bought 1000mg berberine chloride and 2000mg milk thistle, 80% silymarin which work synergistically and aid update.

There is a 500mg version by Now with MCT & caprylic acid to improve bioavailability. Silymarin works well with Resveratrol and quercetin too.
