here it is in his own words
Quote:
Great news today. My 3 month CT scan showed the tumor is almost gone. I am a little anemic, but that is easily taken care of. The doctor is not convinced that the artemisinin is what reduced the tumor, but I am. Two weeks after the last radiation treatment in June, a CT was done and it showed very little (if any) change in the tumor and my physical condition was in the toilet. But ever since I have been taking the artemisinin, I have steadily improved my physical condition and the tumor has almost disappeared. I would say it was the herb that did it, but not being a doctor, I can only reflect on what has worked. Two things......God and artemisinin. On the other hand, maybe it wasn't the artemisinin........ya think?
Have another CT in three months and maybe it will show the tumor .....completely gone. Who knows?
Anyway.....that's the long and short of it.
Keep up the prayers, please.

Anne, it can pay to have a dad keeping odd hours. He already got back to me on what artemisinin is. Apparently it's an extract from wormwood, a type of sagebrush. He sent me the url for the information he read and I believe it's also the place he bought it through.
