Introduction to the Sweet Wormwood as an Herbal Cure for Cancer

Sweet wormwood (also known as Qing Hao in Traditional Chinese Medicine or Artemisia annua) is an herb that grows in the east from Pakistan to China. It is an antimalarial that is also used to combat COVID-19, scabies, Candida albicans infections, E. coli, Salmonella, and other bacterial infections as well as parasites including Schistosoma parasite (blood flukes). As a cancer cure, research has shown that wormwood can have a particularly significant effect against  Herpes / HPV-induced cancers. But, in fact, it can be used to treat a wide variety of cancers because it releases hydrogen peroxide and Reactive Oxygen Species into the blood to quickly kill cancer cells and pathogens. [1][4]

Recently, in countries, such as Tanzania, Artemisia annua has been used to cure COVID-19. Artemisia annua infusions work best in the sunlight during daytime hours. This is because, when a person takes it, Artemisia annua releases hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and thus, when Artemisia annua is used in the sunlight the Ultraviolet/Hydrogen Peroxide System is activated inside the body. This system is a famous oxidation process through which the interaction of hydrogen peroxide and UV light results in the production of the powerful hydroxyl radical, an oxidant that can kill infectious pathogens as well cancer cells.

Artemisinin is one active substance in Artemisia annua that has been identified as an important herbal cure for malaria as well as for cancer. The pharmaceutical industry has tried to isolate and create a synthetic version of artemisinin and use it by itself to treat malaria, but artemisinin is not the only active ingredient or process through which the herb A. annua that has medicinal effects. Patients who are using A. annua to treat cancer should know that this plant contains a number of active substances that work together to combat the disease. One of those substances is hydrogen peroxide, a substance that the plant produces to protect itself from pathogens. Our human bodies also produce hydrogen peroxide (via white blood cells) for the same purpose. So Artemisia annua works in part by producing hydrogen peroxide, but also by producing Artemisinin. The method of action is not entirely understood, but what scientists do understand about Artemisia annua is quite compelling. [4]

The combination of Quinine and Artemisinin is another powerful medicinal duo that can be used to cure Long COVID.

Arteminisin and Iron

Studies on Artemisinin have shown that it is especially active when bound to iron.  Luckily, cancer cells consume a lot of iron. When mixed with iron, artemisinin is 34,000 times more potent against cancer cells according to these studies. The iron-artemisinin mix creates free-radicals and reactive oxygen species that are toxic to all cells, but cancer cells are much hungrier for iron than healthy cells, which makes this treatment targeted and effective. Research has shown that the iron-artemisinin complex is highly selective and potent against cancer cells [1][2]. Artemisinin is stable in acid, so it passes through the stomach without being destroyed. This means that when you take Artemisinin (which is just one substance found in Artemisia annua), it is able to reach the entire body. Take it with an 18 mg iron supplement for best results. [4]

Herbal Remedy for Leukemia and Breast Cancer

Artemisinin has the ability to selectively kill leukemia cells and breast cancer cells according to studies. Research has also shown that artemisinin combined with iron can kill triple the negative breast cancer cells as well as brain cancer, pancreatic cancer, and colorectal cancer cells.

Scientific Research on Artemisia Annua and Artemisinin

Research in Singapore has shown that artemisinin mixed with aminolevulinic acid can kill colorectal cancer cells without affecting healthy cells [1]. In other words, artemisinin and aminolevulinic acid work together as an alternative treatment for colon cancer that can be used to cure cancer without chemo or radiation. Some experts theorize that more aggressive cancers such as pancreatic cancer and acute leukemia could respond even better to treatment with artemisinin than other, slow-growing cancers. (NOTE: Anyone with pancreatic cancer, or anyone who would like to prevent pancreatic cancer should learn more about Dr. Kelley's enzyme therapies for cancer). Artemisinin and Artemisia annua are a potential cure for acute leukemia and pancreatic cancer, but don't attempt to use this type of therapy as a stand-alone treatment for any of these cancer-types. Artemisinin and Artemisia annua should be combined with other treatments like vitamin B17, iodine therapy, and pancreatic enzyme therapy. The Lugol´s iodine protocol is a nutrient-supplement plan to cure cancer that has been developed and tweaked over more than a decade of working with cancer patients.

Artemisia annua Dose:

Take Artemisia annua and Artemisinin in low doses initially. Slowly increase the dose over time. Begin with 150 mg three times daily (450 mg total) of Artemisia annua for 3 days. Take Artemisia annua 30 minutes before and after eating or taking supplements--take it on an empty stomach, ideally while you expose your skin to sunlight for at least 10 minutes at each dose.  Then, double the  Artemisia annua dose to 300 mg twice daily and 150 mg one time daily at lunch (750 mg total) of Artemisia annua twice daily for 4 days. Continue taking 300 mg of Artemisia annua at 300 mg twice daily (750 mg per day) and start taking Artemisinin as long as you are not experiencing detoxification symptoms or a Herxheimer Reaction. If you are having headaches or flu-like symptoms, reduce your dose by half, but don't stop taking the Artemisia annua. Wait for the detoxification symptoms to stop or reduce significantly and then increase your dose of Artemisia annua slowly back to the 750 mg per day dose. 

After at least a week of taking Artemisia annua without experiencing serious detoxification reaction symptoms, begin taking 200 mg daily of Artemisinin along with 1 daily dose of iron.

For childhood cancers, consider using Chlorine Dioxide Solution or Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide as substances that have been tested more extensively for their ability to cure cancer in children. Chlorine Dioxide Solution has been used safely to cure infant cancer as well as cancer in pregnant women. On the other hand, Artemisia annua and Artemisinin are not safe as an herbal remedy for cancer during pregnancy. Artemisia annua cures cancer through more than one mechanism of action. It releases hydrogen peroxide and cures cancer through the use of Reactive Oxygen Species medicines, but this is not its only mechanism of action in the body and it has in common with a number of other anti-cancer treatments, the fact that it is an abortifacient (it causes miscarriage). Many herbal cures for cancer are also abortifacients because cancer tumors behave like a trophoblast cell during early embryonic development in terms of how they create a blood supply (angiogenesis) and rapidly multiply. The Trophoblast Theory of Cancer explores this relationship between embryos and cancerous tumors and this theory explains why cancer during pregnancy should be treated using substances like Chlorine Dioxide Solution and Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), all of which are safe for use during pregnancy and lactation. Chlorine Dioxide Solution and Dimethylsulfoxide / DMSO work through the release of reactive oxygen species medicines which are harmless to an embryo. DMSO is FDA approved for use in pregnant women. It has a toxicity level that is similar to that of water.

If you administer coffee enemas, it may be possible to increase your Artemisia annua cancer dose to a higher level more quickly without experiencing detoxification symptoms.

At the same time, after at least a week of taking Artemisia annua without experiencing serious detoxification reaction symptoms (which are a sign of healing), begin taking 200 mg daily of artemisinin along with 1 daily dose of iron.

Aggressive cancers require more iron in order to survive, which makes it easier to target them with artemisinin and the free-radicals that result from the wormwood-iron mix [3]. Again, be sure to use this type of therapy in combination with other anticancer treatments if you're trying to cure leukemia or pancreatic cancer. The same is true if you wish to use Artemisia annua as an herb for Long COVID.

If you're hoping to cure pancreatic cancer or any other type of cancer, it's essential that you read more about pancreatic enzymes. Pancreatic enzymes are a front line defense against cancer and they are an important part of any anti-cancer protocol. In the QUICK-START cancer cure video course that we link to below, we discuss pancreatic enzymes as a cure for cancer among other treatments that have an extremely high cancer cure rate of over 80%.

Preparation of Artemisia annua as an Herbal Tea

There are a number of different ways to prepare and administer Artemisia annua to treat serious infection. Just be aware that in order to release the medicinal agents in the Artemisia plant, it is essential for the water in a tea or other medicinal treatments to reach a boiling point.


Do not take vitamin C when you are taking Artemisia annua. Also avoid paracetamol, aspirin, and iron during Artemisia treatment.


Preparation of Artemisia annua as an Herbal Tea

Boiling water destroys artemisinin, so if you're drinking Artemisia annua tea, it is best to use hot water between 85-90 degrees Celsius or milk (because of its fat content) to extract the artemisinin from the tea leaves. [4]

 

It is possible to extract artemisinin from the Artemisia annua plant at home. You must use fresh leaves from a living plant to obtain artemisinin from Artemisia annua. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, fresh leaves of the plant are used and they are macerated (ground up) and then squeezed to obtain the juices in order to get a higher concentration of artemisinin. [4]


Dry Artemisia annua leaves can be stored in a cool, dry place for up to a year and they'll retain the full content of artemisinin intact under these conditions. The artemisinin in the Artemisia annua plant is stored in the glandular trichomes of the dried leaves and flowers along with essential oils. These essential oils naturally prevent fungi from growing which allows the artemisinin to remain intact for long periods of time. [4]


Below are instructions for preparing an herbal tea with Artemisia annua.


  1. Bring 1 L of Artemisia annua to a boil in a pot.

  2. Put about 5 grams, or one small handful of dried leaves and stems in the 1 L of boiling water (100°C) - OR 20 grams (4 handfuls) of freshly cut plant into the boiling water.

  3. Remove the pot from heat. Cover it and leave it to infuse for 15 minutes.

  4. Filter out the plant pieces. Drink it on the same day that it was made. (Do not reboil it or reuse it on the next day)

  5. Add honey, milk, or lemon juice to improve the flavor. Infant formula milk powder can also be used if you are bottle feeding this mixture to an infant.

To make Artemisia annua Sugar for babies and young children:


  1. If you have fresh Artemisia annua available, take leaves from the uppermost, cleanest part of the plant. Wash the leaves thoroughly. Cut them and dry them on a clean table. Pound them to a fine powder using a coffee grinder.


OR use dried Artemisia annua powder or grind the dried plant into a powder using a coffee grinder.


  1. Heat 90 grams of sugar in a saucepan until it is dry. Let it cool completely. 


  1. Add 10 grams of Artemisia annua powder to 90 grams of cooled, dry sugar and mix thoroughly.


  1. Store the Artemisia annua Sugar in an airtight container for up to 1 year.


  1. NOTE: 3 grams of Artemisia Sugar corresponds to 0.3 grams of Artemisia annua

 

To make an Artemisia annua enema:

NOTE: The patient will need to retain the enema and not expel it. If the enema is expelled within 30 minutes after administration. Give the same amount of enema again.

  1. Bring 1 L of water to a boil. (For an infant, halve the water to 50 mL)

  2. Put 10 grams of Artemisia annua dried leaves (or two handfuls of fresh leaves) in the hot, boiling water and turn down the heat (For an infant, halve the dose to 5 grams).

  3. Remove the pot from heat. Put a lid on it and allow it to cool. 

  4. Filter the tea and let it cool to body temperature before administering it as an enema.

  5. Divide it into 4 or more doses and administer it throughout the day for 7 days or until the patient can drink again.

To make an Artemisia annua bath or skin treatment:

Make a decoction of Artemisia annua that can be cooled and then either administer it to the skin as a lotion for swollen glands, the external ear, or skin inflammations, herpes, or lesions. Or use it as a foot soak or to bathe the entire body as a way to lower fever. The Artemisia annua bath can be used to lower fevers.

Note that in some parts of Africa, Artemisia annua infusions of the LEAVES or a decoction of the ROOTS is used to treat diabetes.

To make Artemisia annua Inhalation Remedies:

There are three ways to administer Artemisia annua to treat respiratory infections:

Nebulizer: To nebulize Artemisia annua, make the Artemisia annua tea recipe. Allow it to cool completely. Nebulize.

Steam: To steam Artemisia annua, use fresh or dried leaves. Put 3 to 5 grams in a pot of hot water and then breathe in the steam which contains medicinal volatile oils.

Smoke: Burn dried Artemisia annua in a room where the patient is located to medicate using smoke. 

To make an alcohol extract of Artemisia annua: 

Artemisia annua can be administered to reduce colic and intestinal pains. 

  1. Use dried, powdered Artemisia annua. Put 35 grams (enough for 7 days of treatment for an adult) in a glass container.

  2. Pour brandy over the dried herb, put the lid on the container, and shake well.

  3. Administer 1/7th of the total amount daily for colic.

To make a poultice of Artemisia annua: 

Use dried or fresh leaves in a poultice to treat neuralgia, swollen glands, ringworm, or mumps. A poultice can also be place on the tummy to treat baby colic.


Artemisia annua


1 gram of Artemisia annua = 1 teaspoon 

Administer 3 grams of Artemisia annua per day (1 gram in the morning, 1 gram at noon, and 1 gram in the evening) for 7 days or until symptoms disappear. 


For children under 5 years of age (under 15 kg), reduce this dose by half (1.5 grams per day for 7 days)

Cure Rate 



In Hanoi, Vietnam, Dr. Hoang reports that out of 400 cancer patients, 50 to 60% achieved long-term remission using artemisinin along with a comprehensive cancer protocol [3]. Artemisinin is a powerful Long COVID cure too and as we've mentioned in other areas of the web site, when we were in Tanzania at the peak of the COVID pandemic, the Tanzanian president was advocating for the use of Artemisia annua as an herbal cure for COVID (he was murdered not long after this). No one in Tanzania at that time was wearing a mask and no one really had symptoms of COVID either. Today, Artemisinin or Artemisia annua is used to get rid of Long COVID naturally without drugs.

Contraindications

Artemisinin can cause spontaneous abortions so this herb is not suitable for women who are pregnant. Patients are advised to use wormwood for no longer than 4 weeks at time. Take short, periodic breaks of 1 week off from the herb to allow the body to rebalance [1]. During the 1 week break, consider taking either Chlorine Dioxide Solution or Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide to cure cancer.  

Also note, however, that we have worked with health coaching clients who have taken this herb daily on a long-term basis as an alternative treatment for Long COVID and other diseases like interstitial cystitis caused by schistosomiasis.

Safety of Artemisia annua and Artemisinin During Pregnancy and in Children (DO NOT USE IN PREGNANT WOMEN OR CHILDREN)

Artemisia annua is safe for use in children and in fact has been extensively researched as a treatment for diphtheria and other major childhood infections. For infections, wormwood is generally administered with either Cinchona officinalis or quinine, but for cancer it can be administered on its own or as part of a cancer cure protocol. Artemisia as a whole herb is – contrary to most of the popular internet information – a very safe and well-researched herbal medicine for children of all ages. Like adults, children working with Artemisia annua should ideally get plenty of sunlight exposure or red light therapy while drinking or after drinking/taking their dose of Artemisia. Follow the same dosing/administration instructions as described above, and note the dosing details for younger children. 


As an alternative medicine cure for childhood cancer, consider using Chlorine Dioxide Solution or Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide as substances that have also been tested extensively for their ability to cure cancer in children. Chlorine Dioxide Solution has been used safely to cure infant cancer as well as to cure cancer during pregnancy. 


On the other hand, Artemisia annua and artemisinin are not safe for use during pregnancy. They can, however, be used as cures for cancer during lactation. Artemisia annua cures cancer through more than one mechanism of action. It releases hydrogen peroxide and cures cancer through the use of Reactive Oxygen Species, but this is not its only mechanism of action in the body and it has in common with a number of other anti-cancer treatments, the fact that it is an abortifacient (it causes miscarriage). In fact, many herbal cures for cancer are also abortifacients because cancer tumors behave a lot like embryos in terms of how they create a blood supply (angiogenesis) and rapidly multiply. The Trophoblast Theory of Cancer explores this relationship between embryos and cancerous tumors and this theory explains why cancer during pregnancy should be treated using substances like Chlorine Dioxide Solution and Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), all of which are safe for use during pregnancy and lactation. Chlorine Dioxide Solution and Dimethylsulfoxide / DMSO work through the release of Reactive Oxygen Species which are harmless to an embryo. DMSO is FDA approved for use in pregnant women, and has a toxicity level that is similar to that of water.
