Description
- Originated in China over two centuries ago in traditional Chinese medicine to treat fevers. Fast forward to the sixties - Scientists are looking for a cure for malaria that is quick, efficient and has no side effects. After extensive tests, it was discovered that Artemisia Annua could actually cure malaria.
- This was one of the reasons the Vietnamese won the Vietnamese war. The number one affliction was malaria at this point, so using what they call 'changshan' to combat malaria was a stroke of genius.
- Tu Youyou had a eureka moment when she discovered that you have to extract it at a lower temperature in order to preserve antimalarial activity. Pharmaceutical companies began to become interested in artemisinin, the active ingredient.
- Unfortunately, because it is an isolated substance, eventually it became resistant. The world health organization denies this however, and claim that only if you drink the tea it creates resistant. Others are saying no, it you isolate a substance, it is normal it will become resistant. Nature is intelligent, viruses adapt. "Not only does it appear to be effective, but it's very selective, " Lai states. "It's highly toxic to the c7ncer cells, but has a marginal impact on normal breast cells."
- The compound helps to control malaria because it reacts with high iron concentrations that are found within the malaria parasite. When iron comes into contact with artemisinin, a chemical reaction ensues, which spans charged atoms chemists like to call "free radicals." These free radicals will attack various cell membranes, breaking them apart and easily killing this single-cell parasite. 7 years ago, Lai started to hypothesize that the process might work "The Big C", too.
