La bilharziose guérie à 97 % avec notre Artemisia

In parallel with the clinical trials run by a team of medical doctors in the province of Maniema on the efficiency of Artemisia annua and Artemisia afra aga inst malaria, (see Breaking News Jan.5 on www.malariaworld.org) they have completed another large scale randomized, double blind trial against schistosomiasis, Artemisia vs Praziquantel. The results confirm previous anecdotic results from several countries in Africa. Both arms in this trial had 400 infected patients. The treatment efficiency was 97 % in the Artemisia arm and 71% in the Praziquantel arm. No side effects were noticed in the Artemisia treatment. Praziquantel caused vomiting in 26.5% of the patients, abdominal pain in 18.5%, cephalalgy in 15.5%. Very impressive is the fact that the Artemisia treatment led to an unexpected almost complete absence of eggs in feces after 2 months. Schistosomiasis kills 150 000 Africans per year and more than 70 000 000 are infected. A neglected disease in neglected, poor populations where the only existing drug, Praziquantel, loses efficiency year after year. These young African doctors have run these trials despite the oposition and intimidations of BigpharmaWHO. They will win the battle against neglected tropical diseases where Western chemical monotherapies have failed Jerome Munyangi, Michel Idumbo, Lucile Cornet-Vernet, Pierre Lutgen
