so here we have this natural herb called

wormwood or it’s called artemisinin okay

now it’s been used for well over 2 000

years as part of Chinese medicine been

very very effective with a lot of

different things antimicrobial

especially anti-malaria but then they

found a way to synthesize it and to make

it synthetically and then all of a

sudden the effectiveness of this natural

herb went way down as far as using the

natural version they’ll say that it’s

not very bioavailable

expensive it doesn’t work as good as the

drug which it may not work as good as a

drug but it’s been used for over 2 000

years so it’s stood the test of time and

today I want to talk about how amazing

this plant is and if you’re going to

grow your own natural Pharmacy this is

definitely one to put on the list to

grow but right now the synthetic version

is the most effective treatment for

malaria apparently it can actually stop

the different stages of this malarial

parasite but wormwood is very effective

for worms it’s good for viruses

antiviral

bacteria and there’s some interesting

research which I’ll put down below on

what it can do for covet and is a pretty

potent anti-lime you know this little

parasitic spiral kite that you can get

from a tick bite but today I’m going to

talk a little bit more about its um

potent Effectiveness or cancer and I

don’t know why but a lot of these um

remedies for worms and parasites and

even viruses also tend to parallel for

cancer and wormwood is at the top of the

list because it does some really

interesting things in relationship to

cancer the first thing that I want to

talk about is in its ability to

selectively

pause

something called apoptosis to the cancer

cells now first of all the word

selectively that means that it targets

the cancer cells

not your own cells so that’s pretty cool

and now what is this apoptosis mean that

means that the cell emits suicide okay

it kills itself and so wormwood has the

ability to cause the cancer cell to

commit suicide because normally it

doesn’t do that it lives forever it has

a limited lifespan but wormwood could

actually cause apoptosis in cancer cells

both in the lab in a little petri dish

as well as in animal studies I was

studying different mechanisms of how it

actually can deal with cancer and and I

want to talk about it because it’s quite

interesting one mechanism has to do with

iron

it’ll take a little bit of your own Iron

from your red blood cell

and cause that iron to oxidize turning

it into a free radical and directing it

to the cancer cell itself now this is

another mechanism of how it can kill a

parasite or a worm is through this iron

oxidation effect when iron tends to go

into that oxidation form it’s very toxic

to the cells especially cancer cells now

the other thing that it can do

and before I get into that I want to

just explain one thing about cancer

cells come from normal cells okay so a

normal cell can switch over to a cancer

cell

when there’s damage to the mitochondria

there’s this protein complex called

h-i-f okay and without getting too

technical

it’s this Factor

that involves hypoxia hypoxia is a lack

of oxygen so apparently it’s this factor

or this protein complex

that triggers this switch from a normal

cell

to cancer cell so anything that can

inhibit this switching I think be

important right when dealing with cancer

especially if you have cancer and you

want to avoid more of the normal cells

converting over to cancer so it just so

happens that the phytonutrients in

wormwood okay have the ability to

inhibit this protein complex and it’s

also interesting that hypoxia is

involved which explains a lot because

inflammation for example is one trigger

because when you have inflammation you

have less oxygen but apparently there’s

other things that can trigger cancer

that go beyond just hypoxia but cool

thing is that wormwood has the ability

to inhibit this compound also wormwood

has another mechanism of inhibiting the

normal cells

from producing this increase in blood

vessels to the tumor so one thing that

cancer does is it um recruits lead

Supply from your normal cells and it

causes your normal cells to produce

blood vessels into the tumor so this is

just one little trick that these cancer

cells do well wormwood is

anti-angiogenic so it can help diminish

that mechanism now wormwood is also

highly anti-inflammatory so just by

addressing inflammation you can stop the

spread of cancer as well as the

formation cancer too especially since

there’s this link between inflammation

and cancer and some people are using

wormwood for autoimmune because

autoimmune is an inflammatory problem

and the last thing involving cancer that

wormwood can help a person with it has

an anti-minastatic effect which

basically means it inhibits the growth

of cancer which is pretty cool but

anyway I just wanted to share some of

the interesting effects of this plant

that anyone can actually grow in their

Garden or their greenhouse and the

amazing properties it might have in

potentially helping you now since we’re

on the topic of natural remedies if you

haven’t seen my video on garlic that’s

pretty cool I put it up right here check
