It really a beautiful area.
Cupertino was named after Arroyo San José de Cupertino (now Stevens Creek).
Cupertino is a city in Santa Clara County, California in the U.S., directly west of San Jose on the western edge of the Santa Clara Valley with portions extending into the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains. The population was 58,302 at the time of the 2010 census.
Forbes ranked it as one of the most educated small towns. It is best known as home to the worldwide headquarters of Apple Inc.
Monta Vista is an upper-income residential neighborhood in western Cupertino, California. "Monta Vista" does not mean anything in any language but is very similar to "Monte Vista," which means "mountain view" in Spanish.
It also means “stud from Cupertino Italy”.
They sell artemisinin by the proverbial truckload and I haven't heard about anyone dying from it yet. With natural cures they love to make a big deal of it if they are proved to have harmed anyone so I doubt they are too harmful in the amounts most people take them.
Should have pinged you, Clinging Bitterly, with this too:

An interesting thing about it is that one of the people who were involved studying Artemisia annua or wormword had a dog who had bone cancer and was in great pain. They tried their treatment on it and it was up and running in a week.
Artemisinin has been being used by millions of people worldwide without side effects. Here is an interesting piece out of "Townsend Letters for Doctors and Patients" that tells how many people have been using it worldwide and getting good results while here in the USA is it still basically forbidden. The whole article at the site is really well worth reading also addressing artemisinin and cancer treatment. I really think that due to the FDA there is a black cloud covering up all kinds of cures in this country because they don't make the medical establishment millions of dollars in revenue. In the name of greed how many people suffer and die?

Artemisinin, the key ingredient obtained from Artemisia annua, has a long history of use as an antimalarial remedy. Artemisia annua, or "sweet wormwood,” is mentioned in the Recipes For 52 Kinds Of Diseases found in the Mawangdui Han Dynasty tomb, dating from 168 B.C. In that work, the herb is recommended for use for hemorrhoids. It is also mentioned in the Zhou Hou Bei Ji Fang (Handbook of Prescriptions for Emergency Treatments) written in 340 A. D. The major active principal was first isolated in l972, and investigators at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research located and crystallized the active component in l984.1
Artemisinin and two synthetic derivatives, artemether and sodium artesunate, were evaluated in the l970's. A number of the tropical countries have conducted trials. In China in 1979, wherein 2,099 patients infected with P. viva and P. falciparum, Artemisinin had good therapeutic effects and improved or cured all patients. Furthermore, the treatment with Artemisinin was without any obvious side effects. Artemisinin is also effective in cerebral malaria. Body temperature of patients normalized within 72 hours, and asexual parasites were eliminated within 72 hours. However, there was a relapse rate of 21%.2
In clinical trials in Vietnam, children ages 1 to 15 years were randomly selected to receive artemisinin suppositories or oral quinine. The results indicated that the suppositories rapidly cleared asexual P. Falciparium parasitemia in children and confirmed the problem reoccurrence rates.3
Artemisinin has been extensively researched for malaria, and has been used on over a million patients, mostly in China and Vietnam. It is very helpful for drug resistant malaria. Extensive review articles are available documenting the extensive testing that has been done.4-6
Various oral dosage regimens have been adopted in treating over one million patients. Early studies suggested that an optimum total dosage of 3 grams (about 50 mg/kg) was administered over a 3 to 5 day period. In most cases parasite and fever clearance times were in less than two days. Recurrence were much more common with tablets than with parenteral formulations. Because of the very rapid clearance time of fever and parasites, the use of artemisinin was favored, and recurrences, which were common, were treated with artemisinin again or with another drug.7
About twelve years ago, Dr. Leo Galland and Dr. Herman Bueno worked together in New York City and began using artemisinin as a broad spectrum antiparasitic agent.
"Artemisinin is a powerful oxidant. I have used it orally to treat small bowel bacterial overgrowth, Clostridial overgrowth and (along with other herbal extracts, such as berberine, grapefruit seed extract and oregano oil) as a treatment for intestinal parasites.” Leo Galland, MD.
Very recently, news reports have trumpeted Artemisinin as a leading treatment for malaria. Affected nations are calling for it to be accepted as the number one first line treatment, but the USA has blocked its acceptance as the primary treatment, alleging yet more studies are needed.
Boy, you had to head to Europe and dig deep for that one, which I don’t believe is even accurate.
And of course it has nothing to do with your question...lol
Using Google Translate you simply highlight the word and hold down the tab and lo and behold you get the alternate meanings.
Wow...That spin is speeding up the rotation of the planet. If this keeps up, we’ll all fly off.
