I am translating points made by this 2017 documentary Malaria Business (video below). The medical doctor interviewed was studying in France & not allowed to pursue his medical research on Artemisia. His notes & plant samples were taken away. He was told by the university that he is burdensome. He came back to his country, he was treating patients with the plant. In the above excerpt, he describes how his computers were stolen & he got poisoned. He found out when he went wherever to get treated, he suspects the pharmaceutical companies. Artemisia shows 99% effectiveness & creates no drug resistance, especially Artemisia Afra which is more easily grown & should be sold in Asia even, where resistance has built up against artemisinine from Artemisia that is being used by some companies. Drug resistance in Asia is a growing problem & they are moving to treat with multiple drugs at once, like ARVs. This or any drugs do leave some pathogens in the blood whereas a week of drinking Artemisia tea kills them all. The WHO has issued a waning against the plant’s use(!) whereas drugs that are less effective, expensive, create drug resistance, but come from Europe, are promoted as safe treatment for malaria. It is big business & as if a conspiracy to let mosquitoes kill people in Africa when every family having a simple plant would help eradicate malaria according to doctors, researchers & whoever else was interviewed, patients, including a white saviour campaigning for awareness of the plant & other whites who are now only allowed to plant for research purposes. As s.o. said, multi-drug therapy already exists in nature as in this very case where all parts of Artemisia brewed helps in ways that are perhaps not published yet. There was a 2nd documentary after that about the traffic of fake meds in African countries, malaria-affected countries too. The fakes are made in China with everything from the look of the pill to the packaging being replicated exactly. Not talking about generics, this looks like the real thing and even have whatever metal shimmery stickers, serial numbers. It makes one think all big businesses are connected, one serving the other… even fake drugs.
1 billion dollars spent to develop the malaria vaccine, which they’ll be testing on citizens of the very African countries who will pay them for these vaccines. Lariam/mefloquine is permitted & prescribed while toxicity is long documented: “anxiety, panic attacks, paranoia, persecutory delusions, dissociative psychosis, and anterograde amnesia. Exposure to the drug has been associated with acts of violence and suicide”. This is ok to prescribe to folks as preventive while an effective plant is not as the work of the Congolese medical researcher from DRC is unrecognised. What if this vaccine is the new mefloquine? All the Congolese medical researchers wanted is for the plant to be accepted as alternative preventive & treatment. The fact that that is not admissible and that a vaccine is being tested on African babies should raise red flags! All the my other paragraphs are from the documentary.
Before, the ‘free’ distribution of mosquito nets with insecticide made the stronger mosquitoes survive and mosquitoes evolved, rates of malaria increased. People got resistant to chloroquine before, after that WHO did nothing to encourage research & new products when it came to malaria, says former WHO director Mr. G. Velasquez from Colombia. And I’m wondering why are directors of WHO not even doctors. After all this WHO inactivity, a doctor was awarded the Medical Nobel Prize for isolating artemisinin & the first medicines with that active ingredient was made in China and commercialised in Africa. WHO imposed these drugs onto all countries (like they will impose the vaccine after testing), the prices hiked due to lack of easy availability of the artemisia it’s made from Due to the high prices of the drugs, it is good business in e.g. Madagascar to grow the plant. A lot of Artemisia is needed to make little of artemisinin crystals. There are rumours (or bad news) about what it does to the soils. It’s for export, it isn’t used locally for malaria Clearly no one gave them proper information on how to take it either, poor Malagasy people are to be exploited to grow it, not educated about the very plant they are growing for white pharmaceutical industries. All this effort to hoard money & are they simply going to go out of business in the future due to the new malaria vaccine? Surely not.
