I remember reading of malaria outbreaks in the mid 1800s in Fort Verde AZ.

I also have seen advertisements for NW Arkansas from the early 1900s declaring this area to have “NO MALARIA!”

Ah, humor doesn’t translate into print very well. I also take Scripture very seriously.

But, while I don’t know if the tea has worked, we do drink it in the US to prevent our redeveloping malaria. Many docs want to hospitalize malaria patients and do all sorts of unnecessary things to them. We just take our medicine and go on about our business.

I DO KNOW that artemisin pills work against malaria. It is just tough to keep a supply on hand or acquire more when in the states. Hence, we make the tea prophylactically. The hubs and I were required to be vaccinated against the hoax before returning to our work overseas. Immediately after the vax, we drank the tea for about 3 days. Hope it helped.

But, yes, it is VERY bitter. Yech!

...by radical environmentalists. They spread lies about DDT thinning bird eggshells, killing humans, and causing cancer.

They knew when they did this that the victims would be largely black Africans, so they did it gleefully. And it has come to pass.

Hydroxychloroquine has successfully treated malaria for many decades.

Therefore, the FDA and Facebook will call it “ misinformation “.

Absolute agree
I can barely manage my own affairs. I cannot imagine the arrogance in thinking that I have a right (or ability) in managing someone else’s as well

Hydroxychloroquine has successfully treated malaria for many decades.In our area, malaria has developed a resistent strain to chloroquine. That's why we've taken artemesin. And, actually, I haven't had malaria in years so even that might have changed.

HCQ is a prophylactic for some types of malaria. I’ve taken it as such (and know very well from first-hand experience that all of the HCQ fear porn back in 2020 was intentionally deceptive propaganda from the “public health” tyrants and bureaucrats, Big Pharma, and their corporate media spokespeople.)

I don’t think it’s a treatment for malaria, though.

those “cases” could also be infected “illegal aliens our border guards let into the USA while sucking up a federal paycheck and benefits.

South America in places is very similar to Vietnam where I got malaria in 68.

“credits international travelers”

Code for border jumpers.


Actually for stuff like this, it normally is travelers returning from Africa or other mostly-tropical countries that contracted it while traveling.
