I read the article on your website, and have a few additional comments from people in a discussion group. I also included the MSNBC posting. I'd like some comments on this. Here they are: "GO TO: http://www.msnbc.com/news/667259.asp?cp1=1#BODY I have the exact compound which this researcher used in his experiments. The regimen for the dog with bone cancer is orally iron compound ~ 40 mg, 6 hours later, wormwood extract, at the rate .4mg/kg of body weight. If you would like to obtain the wormwood extract used, contact me by email." Oh no.....I lost the response by another person. He said there is one other substance needed in order for the wormwood to work. I don't recall it's name. It is extremely expensive however. If I recall, it's some sort of catalyst to make the wormwood extract work, otherwise the process will not proceed. I believe it's in the MSNBC article. | ||

I just read the entire msnbc article. A colelague of mine is friends of one of the researchers. I have asked him to get us all together for lunch one day soon. Also, I will ask another colleague who is an expert on iron for his interpretation of these findings. Off the top of my head, I must say that the results with the dog are nothing short of astounding, but as I know a medical doctor friend of mine the other day, anyone can kill cancer cells with a blow torch, the question is how to manage them inside the body, not once you take them out. Once they are removed, anything is possible. My guess is that iron is not iron is not iron. A lot of people have extremely high concentrations of toxic iron, industrial waste products and other forms of iron that cannot be used to improve hemoglobin activity. Years ago, I worked very hard to develop herbal tonics that are high in iron because these naturally occurring forms of iron do enhance oxygenation of tissues. However, it would seem that it's time to dot a few "i's" and cross the "t's" so I will make a few phone calls and get back on this topic. | ||

Oh, I have to add that since that press release came out, I have sourced many different kinds of artemisia/wormwood and decided to try a few on myself. I have been extremely feverish with the products I have been using and I am attributing this to deep impact on my own long history of tropical infection and the countless mosquito bites I have had due to spending twenty years in the tropics. One of the comments made by one of the producers of an artemisia was that his product is not well tolerated by people with extreme environmental sensitivities. However, he feels that the herb is a tonic (i.e., it helps to restore function to the body) but he suggests that it is used in conjunction with a good intestinal flora product (which I have been doing.) However, my fevers are such that I am convinced that the die off of whatever requires supplementation with an immune booster . . . i.e., it might be addressing parasites, perhaps blood parasites or any number of other creatures. I like the product and feel that it will resolve the problems that have been undermining my own well being for many years. This said, I should probably just say I'm cautiously fascinated. | ||

Ingrid, Thank you for your useful comments on Sweet Annie. My mother has "terminal" bone cancer, and suffered many years ago from breast cancer. The doctors have done nothing further for her than to keep her comfortable with no hope of eliminating the cancer. I am researching this product to see if this treatment would be a good option for her. I am a firm believer that herbal medicine is a much better form of combating nature's maladies, cancer being one of them. Thank you again, and I hope to hear more of your research as I continue doing so on my own. | ||

Jamie, Interesting synchronicity here. I have been asking for many years what I believe about calcium and awakened this morning with the idea of writing a highly speculative article or email on the subject. Truly, for decades, I have been brooding on the question of whether very levels of blood calcium or hair analyses that show high calcium levels have anything to do with parasites. Medical science is so vast that sometimes the information that is well known in one discipline isn't even considered in another. For instance, when patients are parasitized, they often have high calcium readings in the standard tests that are run. The question was whether the parasites threw off casings such as worms do or whether the body leeches calcium from the bones to build walls to encase the parasites to prevent them from perforating vital organs or whether it leeches calcium to neutralize the pH because of the acidic waste products of parasites. Like you, I had long observed that many cancers metastasize to the bones, but why? I suspected that the bones became weak because of leeching, but the question is whether this is because of "osteoporosis" or some other explanation. I think the standard American diet contains very little that could possibly keep the body in balance and almost nothing that would act as a parasiticide. I found parasites in the blood of all the patients we studied in Europe. Therefore, taking something like Sweet Annie, which is an effective parasiticide is not a bad idea. If there were adequate ways to test for parasites, that would be helpful, but as we are finding out, most tests return negative findings . . . until you find a laboratory that specializes in tropical medicine. I just want to alert you to the fact that the artemisinin discussed in the research performed at the University of Washington was a chemical from Holley, not an herb. It is very potent whereas Sweet Annie is a mild herb with basically no side effects. Best wishes and good luck! |
