Artemisia Cancer Cure?

I had recently come across a testimony from a Doctor who treated a boy with cancer with artemisia, among other things, and he stated that it produced a prompt remission. So I looked into Artemisia.

Artemisia cure for cancer?

In an archeological dig in China in the 1970’s, many ancient herbal remedies were uncovered. Among them was one for malaria using Artemisia. As a result, this herb began to be used widely for malaria treatment. Of note, this is Artemisia Annua, also known as Sweet Annie or Qing Hao in Chinese, not Artemisia Absinthe, which is known as Wormwood and is commonly used in anti-parasite cures.

But what’s more, in 1995, bioengineering professors Henry Lai and Nahendra Singh from the University of Washington began studying its potential as an anti-cancer drug and found it killed cancer cells in vitro in a matter of hours, and was even able to cure a dog from bone cancer withing 5 days.
After pumping the cancer cells with maximum amounts of iron using something called holotransferrin, Lai and Singh introduced artemisinin to selectively kill the cancer cells.

If you go to Prof Lai’s page at the U of W, you will see that his research is focused on
biological effects of electromagnetic fields and cancer treatment using Artemisinin and synthetic compounds. He has an entire page dedicated to Artemisinin information.

Of course, it comes with a warning that the FDA has not approved Artemisia for use in the treatment of cancer, that more research is needed and that you should consult with your doctor (who will, in accordance with the FDA, recommend that you be poisoned and irradiated).

But below that, you will find a list of 206 studies going back as far as 1996, showing that artemisinin induces apoptosis, aka cell death, in cancer tumors and basically cures cancer.

You would think that after over 15 years of such promising research in vitro and in animals, someone would have done a human study by now- but no. I guess it would be considered unethical to deprive someone of ‘standard of care’, but you would think that surely they could find someone to volunteer to delay his murderous standard treatment by a couple of weeks to see if Artemisia would work as well for him as it does for the mice. I’m sure this could be done, but who will fund it? The problem is always funding because it all comes down to money. Investment vs return. If you use cheap herbs to actually restore people’s health, you lose out on some big bucks. That’s the bottom line for Big Pharma.

Instead of funding studies with natural herbs, research has taken the direction of studying a synthetic, patentable version of artemisinin as well as nanotechnology that could be used to deliver it. Is this really necessary? The plain of herbs worked for the dog, who I hear was still alive two years after the study, and that’s about 14 dog-years. Pretty good long-term survival, I would say.

We are told that cancer is some mysterious, horrible, incurable condition that can only be addressed with toxic, expensive pharma treatments. I used to work as a transcriptionist in an Oncology dept and I had full confidence in standard treatment. Day after day, I typed out reports of people improving, going into remission, being declared cancer-free. It never occurred to me that I never got to type reports about patients dying because once they died, their files were handled by the morgue. We are told that ‘cancer’ is this incurable mystery, but if you look into it a little more, you will find that cancer is no mystery and it is certainly curable, or at least manageable in other cases. Doctors who use alternative treatments to cure people from cancer are often persecuted, even run out of the country.

The fact is, there is a cure for cancer. Not one cure, actually, but many. ‘Cancer’ is nothing but an umbrella term used to describe about 100 conditions that involve abnormal cell proliferation and tumors, which can have many causes and to which there are many remedies. I would recommend “Knockout” by Suzanne Somers as a primer in alternative cancer treatments. Yes, Chrissie from Three’s Company. No, she’s not playing doctor, she’s interviewing doctors.

Preventing people’s access to natural cancer treatments is done under the pretense of ethics, but nothing could be more unethical than forcing people to undergo horrendous toxic treatments which have a very low success rate. But the word is getting out and people are saying Enough is Enough! We have been lied to! We demand real medicine! We demand health freedom! We will not allow you to profit off our sickness and death!

Note: Dr Lai’s experiments involved artemisinin and holotransferrin. This should not be interpreted to mean you can cure yourself of cancer at home using Artemisia Annua.
