Artemisinin…?
Not a big fan of the NIH, but found this interesting.it’s been used as an anti-malarial drug, which, is the primary use for Hydroxychloroquine, which was very effective against Covid. Makes one wonder…. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2629082/

Artemisinin, a naturally occurring component of Artemisia annua, or sweet wormwood, is a potent anti-malaria compound that has recently been shown to have anti-proliferative effects on a number of human cancer cell types, although little is know about ...

Very interesting. My question to this treatment, how many Oncologists know about artemisinin? Thank for the post.

Most all of our drugs come from plants in one way or another. The problem is that Nature isn’t supposed to be able to be patented (they’re working on it though). Also, when the plants make these compounds, they also make other compounds that are to be utilized along with the active ingredient to produce a successful outcome. Unfortunately, when pharma dials in on the active ingredient, that’s all they care about and the side effects start to mount. This guy does a great job of explaining how the compound that is in aspirin will take care of your headache if it’s derived from plants, but will rot your insides when made in a lab: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8srND-m0y0s&list=PL7C-fJX5uFYTT1XfQWG8q7GPIG2ERRLK3&index=12

Hey Dana! I just did a quick scan as n if the literature, looks like artisminin effects multiple biochemical pathways / genes associated with dysregulation of cell growth… thing is, these are exactly the kind of “molecular target” we have been chasing for decades…. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND Dr. Seyfried’s work that’s targeting DYSFUNCTIONAL MITOCHONDRIA. @Jcagney is an expert on his work and how it’s implemented clinically. I am really impressed by Seyffried… @Jcagney thoughts?

I know next to nothing about artemisinin. I’ll have to look into this some more.
I did post this study on the Prostate Cancer Support group on Telegram and at least one person is using it.
