Artemisinin for Cancer and Infections

Also known as artesunate, an extraction from the Wormwood plant, and widely known as an effective treatment for malaria, additionally, artemisinin, is known to have anti-cancer, antibacterial, antifungal, antitumor and ant-inflammatory benefits.


How does Artemisinin work against cancer

Cancer cells and many infectious bacteria require high amounts of iron to divide rapidly. Normal cells do not store iron in such high concentrations as cancer cells. Artemisinin destroys cancer cells and many bacterial infections by reacting with iron receptors on the cell membrane to cause free radical destruction of their cell membranes while leaving normal cells intact. Delivery of artemisinin to cancer cells causes cancer cell death. 

Integrative Oncology at the Stram Center:  we can combine this treatment with high dose vitamin C and hyperbaric oxygen therapy, both also known to have anti-cancer properties for an overall integrative oncology treatment protocol for achieving greater overall survival.

IV Vitamin C

IV Vitamin C

IV Vitamin C and Cancer Care There is much research regarding the use of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in cancer therapy. However, most of the research focuses on oral rather than the more effective intravenous (IV) route of administration. IV vitamin C has a significantly greater effect on immune enhancement than the conventional oral route of administration.
