Artesunate
Artesunate is a drug used in the treatment of malaria. It is a natural extract and has many beneficial properties. It has been used in traditional Chinese medicine and Oriental medicine for thousands of years for the purpose of killing parasites, detoxing, and treating malaria.
According to a study from the University of Washington, researchers found that Artesunate has specific effects on cancer cell destruction. This happens because it affects the iron in the body. Iron is a mineral that produces free radicals, which cause inflammation and help cancer cells grow better.
Therefore, it makes Artesunate effective in eliminating cancer cells. It reacts with normal iron to convert it into an iron mineral that has a destructive reaction towards cancer cells as they contain iron. The compounds of the normal cells, in turn, do not consist of high iron content and therefore will not be affected.
As mentioned above, this treatment is not toxic to normal cells. Artesunate, for example, has been shown in studies to have the ability to destroy cancer cells up to 100 times more than normal cells, and cancer cells contain 34,000 times more iron than normal cells. Thus, the use of Artesunate for a targeted treatment of cancer cells can be highly effective and has a proven track record of positive outcomes in fighting cancer.
