Dr. Johnston reviews two human studies of artesunate, from the sweet wormwood plant, in colorectal cancer and cervical precancer.
When I studied botany at Florida State University, I was fascinated by the extraordinary machinery hidden inside ordinary plants. Beautiful. Intricate. So finely tuned. Little did we know that one ancient Chinese herb derived from the lovely, aromatic, sweet wormwood plant, would eventually lead scientists down a rather unexpected rabbit hole involving malaria medication and, now, cancer research.
Apparently, plants have been keeping a few secrets from us. 🌿😂
Here are the two human studies discussed in the video.

Cervical precancer: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32005582/
