Summary
Let’s talk about wormwood. This natural herb has been used for thousands of years in Chinese medicine.
The synthetic version of wormwood is the most effective treatment for malaria. There is also some interesting research on wormwood for COVID.
Other potential benefits of wormwood:
• It’s anti-parasitic
• It may be effective against worms, viruses, bacteria, and Lyme disease
• It’s anti-viral
What we’re going to focus on today, though, is its effectiveness against cancer.
Potential benefits of wormwood for cancer patients:
1. It can selectively cause apoptosis in cancer cells.
2. It oxidizes a small amount of your iron, turning it into a free radical and directing it to the cancer cell. Oxidized iron is toxic to cancer cells.
3. The phytonutrients in wormwood can inhibit a certain protein complex involved in the process of normal cells converting into cancer cells.
4. It can inhibit normal cells from producing an increase in blood vessels to a tumor.
5. It’s anti-inflammatory and may help stop the formation and spread of cancer.
6. It has an anti-metastatic effect, which means it may help inhibit the growth of cancer.

| 0:00.0 | So here we have this natural herb called Wormwood, or it's called artemisinin. |
| 0:06.0 | Now, it's been used for well over 2,000 years as part of Chinese medicine, |
| 0:11.8 | been very, very effective with a lot of different things, antimicrobial, especially anti-malaria. |
| 0:18.1 | But then they found a way to synthesize it and to make it synthetically. And then |
| 0:22.8 | all of a sudden, the effectiveness of this natural herb went way down as far as using the natural |
| 0:28.1 | version. They'll say that it's not very bioavailable, expensive. It doesn't work as good as a drug, |
| 0:34.5 | which it may not work as good as a drug, but it's been used |
| 0:38.7 | for over 2,000 years. So it's stood the test of time. And today I want to talk about how |
| 0:44.2 | amazing this plant is. And if you're going to grow your own natural pharmacy, this is definitely |
| 0:48.9 | one to put on the list to grow. But right now, the synthetic version is the most effective treatment for malaria. |
| 0:56.2 | Apparently it can actually stop the different stages of this malarial parasite. But wormwood |
| 1:02.5 | is very effective for worms. It's good for viruses, antiviral, bacteria. And there's some interesting |
| 1:10.7 | research which I'll put down below on |
| 1:12.6 | what it can do for COVID and is a pretty potent anti-lime you know this little |
| 1:17.8 | parasitic spiral kite that you can get from a tick bite but today I'm going to talk a |
| 1:22.9 | little bit more about its potent effectiveness or cancer and I don don't know why, but a lot of these remedies |
| 1:30.5 | for worms and parasites and even viruses also tend to parallel for cancer. And Wormwood is at |
| 1:39.1 | the top of the list because it does some really interesting things in relationship to cancer. |
| 1:43.2 | The first thing that I want to talk about is in its ability to selectively cause something called apoptosis to the cancer cells. |
| 1:54.0 | Now, first of all, the word selectively. That means that it targets the cancer cells, not your own cells. |
| 2:00.0 | So that's pretty cool. |
| 2:01.7 | And now what does this apoptosis mean? |
