Guest guest Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 There is one study that has found that grapefruit juice helps absorption of artemisinin significantly. Usually after 4, 5 days of taking artemisinin, decreasing absorption occurs. Grapefruit juice inhibits specific liver enzymes and helps the body to continue with uptake of artemisinin. However, it is also known that taking artemisinin together with antioxidants reduces its effectiveness. Grapefruit juice does contain antioxidants and may slow down the free radical action (peroxide) of artemisinin in infected cells. Curcumin is said to bring artemisinin to go across the BBB (mentioned in Dr. JS's Babesia book). Black pepper ( piperine or Piper nigrum) is said to help absorption of curcumin. Dr. K's version of artemisinin cocktail contains all these plus neem + propolis + Quintessence tincture + Matrix Microbes + Phospholipids Exchange + biofilm enzymes to blend up in grapefruit juice. OSR and MicroSilica are optional. We have not implemented the full-blown version of artemisinin cocktail yet. My son was initially on Interfase + Boluoke + Artemisinin (Holley Pharmacy) + Enhansa + NeemStat (PRL) + Inner Defense (Young Living) + Quintessence (Biopure); on the 4th day he broke out skin rashes around one of his old tick bite areas. He was irritable and tired. I let him took a supplement break and went for Healing the Brain conference. After the conference I re-started this combo of supplements, on the 10th day he broke up skin rashes again. This time it started around his belly button and expanded to cover over the entire liver area. There was also rashes along two sides of the spinal cord on his lower back. I again paused the cocktail, switched to Nutramedix Quina (containing small amount of quinine, which has the similar action of artemisinin in infected cells) and Trace Minerals Relax (for calming the nerve system and hydrating the cells). I gave him Liverlife and Red Root tincture twice a day to cleanse his blood and support liver. I also used peppermint essential oil to massage him for the past few nights to reduce stress, increase blood circulation, and help with indigestion and constipation. Today I just re-introduced the artemisinin combo for the 3rd round, after a 3-day break. From now on I think I will just do 4 days on and 3 days off. For those who use artemisinin, do you take breaks and how the pulsing schedule looks like? Thank you.
