Malaria therapy and prophylaxy with unsaturated fatty acids

PUFA Malaria

Artemisia plants are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) which generate prostaglandins and stimulate monocytes. PUFAs possess well documented antimalarial and prophylactic properties. Their half-life in plasma is several days and in adipose tissue several weeks. This may explain the prophylactic effect of regular consumption of Artemisia infusion or powder. Fish oils rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) cause a marked in vitro growth inhibition of Plasmodia. Similar effects were seen in vivo on mice infected with...

The antimalarial properties of milk

breastfeeding against malaria

It all begins in 1952 with the work of the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine B. G. Maegraith, T. Deegan, and E. Sherwood JonesSuppression of Malaria (P. Berghei) by Milk. Br Med J. 1952 Dec 27; 2(4799): 1382–1384. Audrey A. N. Keppie. Modified Course of T. congolense Infection in Mice Given Diets with Milk Casein. Br Med J. 1953 Oct 17; 2(4841): 853–857. They found that in rats inoculated with Plasmodium berghei and living on a diet of milk there was a strong suppression of the growth of the parasites. This was valid for...

malaria transmission is enhanced by antibiotics

antibiotics and malaria: dangerous mix

Some over the counter drugs sold on a large scale in Africa, show strong antagonism with several antimalarial drugs. Aspirin has an effect on the endothelium and platelet adherence. The time to parasite clearance is significantly longer in children treated with paracetamol and recrudescence is higher. This of course does not prevent the swamping of Africa with these commodities by Bigpharma. You don’t kill a cash cow even if the collateral damage is the death of thousands of children! And now it is also confirmed that antibiotics...
