Is the dosage you recommend for artemisinin the same dosage we should use if we are consuming the whole herb? If not, how much of the whole herb is needed to yield a similar dosage?
I no longer recommend artemisinin or artemisia. It can work but whatever you are treating Sida acuta will work better, especially for babesia or bartonella. Woodlandessence.com carries it.
Would Sida acuta also do the job for various amazonian blood parasites (which I must have had for many years but which got out of balance when my immune system got challenged)?

Can you explain why you no longer recommend artemesia or artemisinin? I have been taking the liposomal artemisinin from hopkinton. It is really helping when I am on it, symptoms do return when I stop
Hi A Weiss,
Here is one of Stephen’s past responses on the subject: https://buhnerhealinglyme.com/herbs/why-cryptolepis/. You can probably find other responses by checking the archives using the search tool or the topics in the drop down navigation menu. Best, Julie
Dear Stephen,
In Natural Treatment for Lyme Coinfections, Artemesia is part of your core protocol. However, in a Jan 14, 2012 online response, you said that you “no longer recommend artemisinin or artemisia as Sida acuta will work better, especially for Babesia or Bartonella.” SO is artemesia no longer part of your core protocol for Babesia?
Gratefully,
Laurie
