Taking in consideration it is one of the deadliest diseases, scientists constantly try to find a cure and finally put and end to cancer. This herb is one of those cures and it can kill up to 98% of cancer cells in just 16 hours.Namely, according to the researches published in “Life Science”, artemisinin, a “Sweet wormwood” or “Artemisia Annua” derivative, was used in Chinese medicine and it can kill 98% of lung cancer cells in less than 16 hours….

The herb used by itself reduces lung cancer cells up to 28%, but in combination with iron, “Artemisia Annua” successfully and completely “erases” cancer, and in the experiment this herb had no impact on healthy lung cells. Artemisinin in past was used as a powerful antimalarial remedy, but now it is proven that this cure is also effective in the fight against cancer. When scientists added iron while conducting the study, which later attached to lung tissue, especially to cancer infected cells, artemisinine selectively attacked “bad” cells, and left “good” cells untouched.

“In general, our results show that artemisinin stops ‘E2F1′ transcription factor and intervenes in destruction of lung cancer cells, meaning it presents a transcription way according to which artemisinin controls reproductive cancer cell growth”, was stated in the conclusion of the researches conducted in the cancer laboratory at the University of California.

Iron deposits in cancer cells with special receptors which help in cell division. Normal cells also have these receptors, but cancer cells have them in larger amounts and according to this, cancer cells can be target combination of iron and artemisinin. There are numerous experiments conducted so far and they all prove that in combination with iron, artemisinin can effectively destroy cancer, and this extract was used in China for thousands of years, as a cure for malaria.

Malaria parasite can not survive in the presence of artemisinine, because it is rich in iron, and bio-engineers Henry Lai and Narendra Singh from the University of Washington were the first scientists to discover this. …

Their research proved that cancer cells undergo an apoptosis, or self-destruction, and until this moment it was difficult to get the extract for more acceptable prices, but people show more and more interest in this herb, so the prices could get lower. French medicine producer, “Sanofi”, announced that they expect production of 50 to 60 tones artemisinin every year, hoping that it will satisfy the needs of the world market….

Health Benefits of Artemisinin

Artemisinin has also been shown to reduce angiogenesis, which is the formation of new blood vessels. In cancer, tumors release chemicals that cause new blood vessels to grow and supply it with nutrients to increase in size and replicate.

This supplement also reduces the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) in some tissue cultures. VEGF is a signal protein produced by cells that stimulates vasculogenesis, oxygen supply to tissues when blood circulation is inadequate and angiogenesis.

Artemisinin and Artemisia Annua supplements have been traditionally used for liver problems, joint pain and loss of appetite, epilepsy and menstrual problems.

It has sedative and anti-inflammatory properties. It calms the nerves and muscles and helps insomnia.

It also reduces inflammation swelling and pain and is used to treat gastrointestinal issues such as IBS and Dyspepsia. For these conditions, 100-200 milligrams taken per day is the suggested amount of supplement.

It is also an antibacterial and is used to treat ulcers, wounds and skin conditions. It helps prevents infection and breaks down existing infections and helps fortify the healthy cells.

The Antiviral Activities of Artemisinin and Artesunate study published in the Clinical Infectious Disease Journal Volume 47, Issue 6 in 2008 concluded this supplement caused the inhibition of certain viruses, such as human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) and other members of the Herpesviridae family (e.g., herpes simplex virus type 1 and Epstein-Barr virus), hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus
, and bovine viral diarrhea virus.

HCMV is a major cause of disease in immuno-compromised individuals, such as those with AIDS and transplant recipients, and it is a cause of congenital infection that leads to developmental problems and hearing loss.

Artemisia Side Effects

Some side effects of this supplement include:

• Abdominal cramps
• Darkening of urine
• Decreased reticulocytes (immature red blood cells)
• Dizziness
• Fever
• Nausea
• Pruritus (itching) and skin rashes
• Somnolence (drowsiness)
• Sweating
• Tinnitus
• Transient low fever
• Vomiting

Cardiovascular symptoms are associated with acute over dosage of this supplement. This supplement should be avoided if pregnant and for cardiac and hypertension patients.

Some diabetic patients in trials have developed hypoglycaemia after taking Artemisinin extract. It should not be taken with grapefruit juice as it may increase its bioavailability (degree and rate it is absorbed).

It can also interact with antacids, sucralfate, proton pump inhibitors, and histamine-receptor antagonists. It may also decrease the effectiveness of anti-seizure medications.

Artemisinin has many applications as a supplement from global conditions of malaria and parasite treatment, to treating pain and inflammation. It also boosts the immune system compromised by febrile conditions. Its potential as an anti-cancer treatment that targets and destroys cancer cells and leaves the healthy cells intact is continuing to be studied.
