I take Artemisinin (under the guidance of a Naturopathic Doctor) as I was diagnosed with Ovarian small cell carcinoma - Stage 1B officially in 2015 but it should have been found in 2012 (long story of pathology results going missing).

Anyway, I chose not to do conventional treatments except for surgery to debulk the tumour, and I have had great success with natural treatment, so I am a supporter of Artemisinin for a cancer protocol.

If I can add my two cents worth, so to speak, what I learned from my cancer journey is to give 110% to whatever treatment you believe is going to get you healthy again - whatever that treatment is. If it is chemo, then follow what your gut and heart tell you is best for YOU! Not what everyone else wants you to do.

I have been an RN for almost 40 years now and I personally do not believe chemotherapy is the best way to go - I used to give chemotherapy to patients and truly did not see many success stories - but I have witness many success stories with alternate treatments. Be guided by the evidence, the practitioner you put your complete faith in, and mostly by what you feel is best for you to do. I wish everyone much love and success in regaining their health.

Thanks for the opportunity to tell my story.

I take artemisinin 800 mg every 8 hrs when my Lupus flares. Then I reduce to 600 to 800 every 12 hrs. Works faster than other meds. I haven't had a cold since I started taking it 7 years ago.

Artemisinin for Lung Cancer

Leenott (Ab, Canada) on 10/20/2014

I was diagnosed with lung cancer in April, 2014. I cut out grains and carbs, took BiCarb every morning, used a salt diffuser.

I was still congested and bought a salt diffuser and overnight the congestion improved hugely.

Then I read asomething about Artemisisin, started taking it around the middle of July, and had been using it for 6 weeks, then I had an xray about 6 weeks ago, and was told by the doctor there a substantial reduction, and that all I had was a bit of congestion in my lower right lung. It's not gone yet, but I feel so much better and can breathe better. This is a post to tell people about this herb.

I absolutely will not take any pharma drugs and haven't for 40 years, so there was no way I was going to do chemo. When you start to research, there are SO many natural remedies out there and they are suppressed. It isn't a death sentence, but you need to have the right attitude, this makes a huge difference. Check out Ty Bollinger. One of his books is "Cancer, Step Outside the Box". Well worth reading.

Re: Artemisia for Cancer Treatment

Dr. Lisa (Seattle, WA) on 06/15/2014

You've reported interesting information here regarding artemesia and cancer treatment, but I believe what you've reported is gravely misleading and here's why. You've presented this as a broad treatment for cancer. There are many different types of cancer and the studies have been done only in vitro. The problem with these test (I speak from the experience of a basic science researcher) is that you are using an article environment and usually using doses of the herb that are much greater than that can be physiologically achieved. In addition, you've reported or inferred that the cancer will be gone or affected in 16 days. Cancer patients are reaching for life, they fear conventional drugs and the side effects. To dangle this in front of them is wrong to me.

One more thing, if a patient uses this herb with certain chemotherapies, there can be interactions. You haven't mentioned this either.

I would encourage you to be cautious about making any statement regarding cancer treatments based on in vitro or poorly powered studies.
